Monday 2 November 2009 - Assistance needed from Clubs
From Bob Horne:
I am in the process of compiling a bibliography of all books published by or about Yorkshire cricket and cricketers. This includes histories of clubs and leagues, whether in pamphlet form, as part of a centenary programme, or a longer study. The bibliography will form part of the Yorkshire CCC website, and will also be available at the Huddersfield University Cricket Research Centre.
I am asking clubs to contact me if there is, or has been, any such publication relating to their club. The details I require are:
Full title
Author’s full name (where available)
Publisher/ printer
Town or city (or village) in which published
Date of publication
I can be contacted on bobthebrod@fsmail.net
Much of this information is, I know, available in a small selection of reference works, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is material which has escaped the net. I am interested in anything, no matter how obscure it may seem.
Many thanks & Best wishes

Monday 10 August 2009 - Arrowselfdrive.com Nidderdale U15s Lord Taverners
Nidderdale U 15s finished 3rd in their group of 4, winning 1 and losing 2 of their festival matches. This was slightly disappointing but given injuries and loss of players to club commitments and representative cricket the squad was depleted severely for the last game.
The Bradford Central league team were bowled out for 81 at Pannal on Monday 3rd August, Tom Fryer taking 2-18, George Lamb 3-7, Josh Chandler 2-16 and a wicket each for Sam Thompson and Graham Whiles. In reply Nidderdale had an easy 9 wicket win, Ed Robinson scoring 32 and Michael Donnelly scoring 31*.
The following day the team travelled to Masham to play a strong Heavy Woollen side. Nidderdale batting first scored 153 for 8 . A stand of 77 for Nidderdale's 3rd wicket between skipper George Lamb 40 and Callum Irvine 52 was the highlight. A late 16 from Ashley Griffen added to the total. Heavy Woolen scoring 154 for 7 won by 3 wickets with two overs to spare. For Nidderdale Graham Whiles took 3-38 and Angus Shaw's 2-26. The ground fielding being the main difference between the two sides. Although defeated this was a good performance by the boys.
A much changed and depleted squad travelled to Green Lane on Wednesday to play the eventual overall winners Airedale & Wharfedale. Batting first Nidderdale made 146-9 owing much to a splendid knock of 51 from Callum Irvine, extras being next top scorer with 24, Gareth Bass adding 17 with a late flurry. Aire and Wharfe in reply were seldom troubled and finished winners by 8 wickets, Sam Halliday taking both the Aire Wharfe wickets.
Tuesday 4 August 2009 - Arrowselfdrive.com Nidderdale U13s Lord Taverners
The Lord Taverner's U13's tournament was severely hit by the weather and conditions.
Nidderale's first match against Bradford Central at Follifoot was abandoned after 21 overs with Nidderdale on 70 for 3 (Josh Crewe 23 no & Harry Lamb 20).
The following day's fixture was against Barnsley at Beckwithshaw, the visitors batting first made 179 for 6 with Harry Lamb and Harry Lister each taking 2 wickets. In reply Nidderdale were 72 for 6 but a very mature partnership of 57 with some good shot selection by Sam Davies (44) and James Clark (33) kept Nidderdale in the hunt but were eventually bowled out for 162.
The next match against Bradford Junior League the eventual winners of the competition was at Pudsey St Lawrence, having won the toss Nidderdale elected to field and at 62 for 5 with some accurate bowling by Craig Broadley, Charlie McGivern and Harry Lister Nidderdale were well on top but a fine inning by Bradford's D Budge of 131 (who went onto make 150no and 64no in his next 2 matches) reached 253 for 6. In reply Nidderdale were bowled out for a disappointing 106 with only James Clark 22 and Adam Rider 19 showing any resistance.
The final match against Scarborough was called off due to the weather. Overall Nidderdale's fielding was poor, too many bad balls were bowled and some poor shots played.
Monday 3 August 2009 - Junior Cup Finals
The Bob Mellor Cup Final was again uncompleted last night.
Following 2 cancelled dates, the Final at least commenced last night with Pannal scoring 112 for 7 in 22 overs. The rain however prevented Studley Royal from starting their innings.
The Final is now rescheduled for a fourth time for Sunday 6th September 10.00am at Knaresborough Forest.
The rearranged date for the The North/South Division play off final between Beckwithshaw CC and Ouseburn CC is now Sunday 9th August 10:30 am
Tuesday 28 July 2009 - Arrowselfdrive.com Nidderdale U11s Lord Taverners
Batting first, Nidderdale struggled early on as Heavy Woollen bowled with great discipline. After 15 overs Nidderdales total of 30-3 looked as if it was to be a one sided game, but a fantastic 60 from man of the match George Davies and 41 from opener Ed Barnes pulled the final total up to 129 for 5.
Unfortunately the second half was marred by rainfall, making bowling and fielding difficult. An early wicket each for Tom Lawson and George Davies gave Nidderdale a promising start, but once again we bowled too many wides and finally lost the game with 3 overs to go.
Congratulations to this year's squad for a fantastic effort and special thanks to Harrogate, Ouseburn, Alne and Birstwith cricket clubs, for providing excellent facilities as hosts for trials and games.
Tuesday 28 July 2009 - Arrowselfdrive.com U15s Lord Taverners

Nidderdale Joe Lumb win against North Yorksire
Nidderdale won the toss and decided to bat in their match at Studley Royal last Sunday. Opener Matt Henry (34) and number 4 Ned Hammond (43) batted with great skill against a good bowling attack where patience was the order of the day. Unfortunateltely the rest of the batsmen were not as disciplined and Nidderdale posted a below parr score of 142 in 50 overs.

In reply, Sheffield kept losing wickets but an unbroken stand of 25 runs saw Sheffield home when it looked likely that Nidderdale would pull it out of the bag. George Davies was the pick of the bowlers taking 3 wickets. The ground fielding was exemplary, with one stop by Botham that will be remembered for a long time by those who saw it.

Wednesday 8 July 2009 - Sunday Friendlies
From Gerard Moran
"I write on behalf of SS Peter and Paul Church and School from Yeadon near Leeds. We have started a cricket team and have played a couple of friendly matches with some more arranged.I am taking this opportunity to ask if you could be kind enough to provide some contacts which I could follow up with a view to possibly arranging a game on a Sunday.
I played for many years until retiring for family reasons. We have 3 to 4 players who are still playing league cricket of a good standard. The rest of the team is made up of players like myself and a couple who have not had too much experience. One of the reasons why we like to have a fixture in your area is so that we could possibly arrange a bus which would be filled with players and families and therefore have a good day out.
If you need to speak to me I can advise you of my telephone number as follows: 0752 1406142. It would be appreciated if you could reply with any information to my personal e-mail gm14theave@fsmail.net"
Tuesday 7 July 2009 - Arrowselfdrive.com Nidderdale U11s Lord Taverners
The Arrowselfdrive.com Nidderdale U 11s Lords Taverners won their third successive game by 19 runs against East Yorkshireat at Londesborough Park C.C.
Put into bat, Nidderdale struggled to a below par final total of 146 for the loss of 9 wickets which would have been less but for a quick 26 from George Davies (Goldsborough) and a last wicket partnership of 35 between Tim Williams (Pannal) and Ed Barnes (Knaresborough) who top scored with 70 not out.
In reply, East Yorkshire never kept up with the required run rate. Very good fielding restricting the home side to 127 for the loss of 6 wickets with Tom Lawson (Harrogate), Ben Bond and Oliver Hebblethwaite (both Beckwithshaw) the pick of the bowlers.
The final group game is this Sunday at Alne C.C. against Sheffield 2.00 pm start. Should Nidderdale win they have a home draw in the semi finals to be played on July 19th.
Pictured below are Harrogate CC's George Hampson and Tom Lawson in action.
Tuesday 7 July 2009 - Arrowselfdrive.com Nidderdale Joe Lumb
Barnstorming Victory For Nidderdale Joe Lumb Side
The Nidderdale Joe Lumb side batted first against a strong Halifax League side and posted a 287 run total in fifty overs.
Number 3 batsman Peter Barnes produced a beautifully crafted knock of 120 no and ranks as one of the best that coach Chris Henry has ever seen. He began by seeing off the new ball bowlers then used his feet brilliantly to take the attack to the bowlers. Chris Base joined him for the last 10 overs and produced an explosive 64 no.
Defending the total was not going to be easy on a very small ground but yet again the sides emphasis on fielding came to the fore. Nidderdale took eight catches including a Hatrick from Matt Henry and a stunner from James Rawling to dismiss their opener on 83. That catch was the turning point with Nidderdale running out the winners by 60 runs.
Pick of the Bowlers were John Hare with 3 for 45 and Jamie Bryant with 2 for 25. Mention should also be made of Keeper James Ford with a very tidy display generally and an excellent leg side stumping.
The next game is on Sunday at Studley Royal against the North Yorkshire South Durham at 1pm.

The introduction of Jon Hare into the Nidderdale attack reduced the home side to 40 for four finishing with 3 for 16. Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals and captain Matt Henry finished of the innings with figures of 2 for 6.
Chasing a total of 104 Openers Matt Henry (51 no) and James Ford (45 no) batted with some considerable class to ease home in only 20 overs.

Monday 18 May 2009 - Touring Team Fixture Wanted
May I introduce myself as the Secretary of the Cricketers’ Club of New South Wales (Australia) See www.ccnsw.com
We are not the Shield side in disguise but essentially middle aged cricketers who have retired from the more competitive Grade cricket of our youth but want to continue playing. I am writing to you in your position as Secretary of the Nidderdale and District Amateur Cricket League in the hope that maybe you can help us, or perhaps put me in touch with someone who might be able to help us:-
1) We are undertaking our 3rd Tour to England this season and staying in York, arriving in the evening on Sunday 19 July and departing for Cambridge on the morning of Thursday 23 July.
2) We have arranged 3 confirmed fixtures against Whitby, East Bierley and Kirk Deighton over the Monday 20 –Wednesday 22 July
3) However our numbers wanting to play has grown to over 30 players!
4) I have been asked to explore the possibility of organising a second game on any one of those 3 days Monday- Wednesday
5) Given we would be turning out a second XI, I fear our average player age would probably be c 45! Once good players but now older.
6) From contacts via the Golden Oldies Tournament planned for 2010, it was suggested that perhaps sides in the Nidderdale league might be interested in playing a midweek social game of this nature (Serious on the field; social off!) during July this year.
Any interested clubs should contact:-

Monday 26 January 2009 - Ron Fry (1922-2009)
It is with great sadness that we report the death, at the age of 87, of Ron Fry, who was involved with the Nidderdale Amateur Cricket League for over forty years, latterly as Umpires Secretary. Ron had already been on the Management Committee for several years when he was given overall responsibility for the umpires in February 1976, and he continued to fulfill that role for 25 years until his retirement in 2001, which the league marked by presenting him with a painting at the annual dinner. Ron introduced umpires training courses to the league, greatly improving the general standard of umpiring throughout the league and thus enhancing the game for everyone, and he worked tirelessly, recruiting new umpires, training them and then fitting them into the weekly rota. He presented the Gladys Fry Rosebowl for the runner up in the Wath Cup in 1995, in memory of his wife, and leaves a son Alan and daughter Sheila: a second daughter, Elizabeth, pre-deceased him. Ron was a passionate gardener and won numerous prizes and awards at local horticultural shows. We extend his family and friends our support and sympathy at this sad time, and remember all that Ron achieved for the league.
There will be a service and interment at Stonefall Cemetry at 13:40 on Thursday 29th January: family flowers only, please, but donations can be given to the British Heart Foundation.
