Further to my Village Cup update posted on Saturday and thanks to Tony's eagle eye I am pleased to say that after discussions with 'The Cricketer' Houghton Main will now play their semi final with Alvanley CC. The match will be played on Sunday August 1st with the winners visiting Welsh outfit Neyland the following Sunday. With the 'spirit of cricket' seemingly having triumphed over 'rules are rules' let's hope for two fine Sundays.
This blog was originated in 2008 as an offshoot of the separate website ‘The cricket history of Calderdale and Kirklees’ which covered in depth the histories of every league cricket club in these two areas of West Yorkshire. Unfortunately this site fell into disuse although there are now plans to reinstate it by the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation.
Meanwhile the blog has gone its own way and has expanded into a review of cricket at all levels throughout the north of England, both past and present. The three current bloggers are all Yorkshire based. Tony Hutton and John Winn are both members of Durham and Yorkshire county clubs and Brian Sanderson is an active member of the Yorkshire archives committee.
We have now recruited Lancashire based Mike Latham, well known in both cricket and rugby league circles, to provide an ever wider coverage of cricket from the north.
