Junior training this week

Mon, 14 May 2012 07:11:39 PDT

There will be no junior training tonight Monday. For health and safety reasons there are not enough coaches available. Friday as normal weather permitting. The U17 can come tomorrow night as I understand the senior teams are having a net although no one has told me officially.

Thanks

Kieran

Well done today

The second XI has a great result away to Gomersal today.Well done Andy Newby for a great top score with the bat. New Signing Wayne Robinson was on fire with the ball getting 4 wickets for just 4 runs off 7 overs.

The First XI were not as successful going down to Bradford and Bingley scoring just 76 and were all out in 23.2 overs. In mitigation, there were a number of players missing. You can view the scorecard Here

The season is up and running. Both teams have a Bye in the first round of the Priestley Cup and Shield, an opportunity for the 1st Team to re-group.

Well done to Eddie and Phil for getting the ground playable. 12 hours before it was looking really dodgy.

Thanks

All Junior games off this Wednesday and Thursday

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:59:41 PDT

All, see below message from the Bradford Junior cricket league
To all club secretaries,

Due to the weather over the last week and forecast for tomorrow, it has been decided to cancel the under 17 games on Wednesday evening and the under 13 games on Thursday evening.
We have taken into consideration the current state of pitches and the lack of time that grounds men have had to prepare pitches for senior teams let alone junior sides.

The games will be played at the end of the season as below:

Under 17 North – Wednesday 8th August with a 6pm start.
Under 17 South – Wednesday 1st August with a 6.30pm start.

The match between Bowling Old Lane and East Bierley, which was supposed to have been played on the 1st August, will now be put back to the 8th August.

Under 13 North – Thursday 9th August with a 6pm start.
Under 13 South – Thursday 2nd August with a 6.30pm start.

The match between Liversedge and Pudsey Congs, which was supposed to have been played on the 2nd August, will now be put back to the 9th August.

Can I remind all clubs that if a senior match is being played on the same day as a junior match can the matches be started by 9.30am and if required a reduction in overs considered.

The details will be published on the website in due course.

Neil Johnson
Secretary, on behalf of Bradford Junior Cricket League

All Junior Fixtures Cancelled this Sunday

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 06:52:36 PDT

See below from the Bradford Junior Cricket League Website..

Sunday 29th April Fixtures Cancelled

As you are all aware the Bradford area has been suffering from particularly wet weather over the past few days. This has resulted in difficulties for many groundsmen and a number of grounds are literally under water. The weather forecast for tomorrow and Saturday is not promising.

Following discusions and inspections the Executive have decided to postpone this Sunday's fixtures. We believe that this is the correct decision under the circumstances for both clubs and the league as a whole.

The games will now be played on Sunday 12th August 2012.

I hope that you all support our decision..

Heads up for Junior Training on Friday

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 06:01:20 PDT

Eddie warns that no one can use the Cricket ground

Latest on the ground

Eddie Brady our groundman has warned that no one is allowed to use the ground under any circumatances. So this is an early warning that Fridays training is off. Its disappointing I know but what can we do? We will try and make up lost time once the fine weather returns. If anyone has any suggestions then I would be happy to hear them.
Ducks have been spotted on the 'square' washing their wings !!!

Thanks

Kieran

Thanks to everyone who supported the Comedy Night last night. Very enjoyable. Ray, all I can say is Don't give up the day job! As a warm up act your report says "Must do better". Thanks to all the second team players who supported the night and Liam Walsh was the only First XI player to support. All I can say is you all missed a good night. Thanks again
