at street lane, guildersome sports club  for bradford premier cricket league 4th division action. guildersome and farnley hill vs cross bank methodists. 

7th vs 8th but with only 2 games completed due to the inclement weather. 

As the name would  suggest, the home team are a murger between  farnley hill and guildersome cricket clubs, which took place in 2018 Due to dwindling playing numbers. Although thus far, They have been unable to climb their way out of the basement division.cross bank methodists, hail from battley, And have  also been continually in the bottom tier since joining from the now-defunct central Yorkshire league in 2016.

Home team, batting first and 86 for three 29 overs gone out of 50 on a glorious summers day.


no excellent sledging here at guildersome and fh, however, a tight, low scoring attritional game goes the way of the hosts, with a ten run victory. 

16 points, and 6 to cross bank methodists. guildersome, posted 148 all out, a seemingly pitiful total, with top scores of 40, and 2 pairs of 20s. 4 for 13, 3 for 49, and 35 respectively for the methodists bowlers. 

but when their opener was dismissed for 64, the wickets tumbled like dominos. 

5 for 30, being the best of the guildersome bowlers. 

no real ale alas. 


but a great day in the south leeds sunshine nevertheless.

 at ewen fieles, home of hyde united for manchester premier cup final, fc united of manchester, 14th in conference north vs trafford, just outside play offs in step 4 northern league division 1 north.  fc won this conpetition on a barmy evening last may at oldham's boundary park, and with them having secured safety last week will be hoping to retain their crown.  trafford will be hoping to spring a cup upset.  but the weather is far from barmy here in east manchester this evening. late drama at ewen fields.  ft 2 each.  trafford better side in first half, much more cohetion, and appeared to watt it more.  2 each at ht, with fc coming behind both times.  traford man sent off in 2nd half which gave fc momentum but they could not make the extra man count.  game went to penalties.  this sparked panic amongst some  fans, some of whom hurried to the car park which closed at ten pm and aiming to avoid their car being empounded before the cut off time.    the rest of us charged down the ot
