2022 season finishes with a flourish
The 1st X1 finished with 5 wins to end the season in style, and rising up the league to finish 3rd in their debut year in the Nidderdale league.
​
Richard Brooke ended with 1,000 runs at an average of 59, Andy Wood with 826 runs at 43. On the bowling side, Zai Ali ended up top wicket-taker with 31, but was well supported with 5 players getting over 18 wickets.​

2020 season review: a mixed bag
The 2020 season can be summed as a mixed bag. In the league the 1st X1 struggled throughout, always languishing towards the bottom of the league but ultimately surviving. A Twenty20 cup final defeat to Kippax was disappointing but that run showed what the team are capable of.
Matthew Hatherly scored the vast bulk of the runs whilst the bowling was more evenly spread out.
The Junior and Women's seasons were wiped out due to Covid. We look forward to 2021!
2020 season to start in July
After the enforced delay to the start of the new season, the Leeds & Wetherby League have announced a shortened season will re-commence on July 18th.
​
Matches will be played over 35 overs with new rules in place and 10 matches will be played in the league season. The club will have socially distanced markings in the grandstands and the turnstiles will be open for one-at-a-time entry, We look forward to you soon but come early on the so the stands aren't full when you arrive!
It is with great sadness that we announce that Roy Goddard has passed away at the age of 90.

Sicklinghall Ladies take the field
Our women’s team played in the only Women’s tournament organised in our area by the YCB this year, held at Harrogate CC. There were 10 teams in total and barring ourselves and one other team, all had played in similar tournaments before. A couple of teams had players who had played for the County teams.
​
Sicklinghall Ladies led by Emma did well, having had just 2 training sessions, they had a couple of really close games which they could have won had the lax umpiring not favoured the opposition. The team comprising of the two Emmas, Sally, Jules, Angie ,Gill, Zoe, Liz and our U11 star Hannah really enjoyed the day and hopefully this will encourage a few more ladies to join up.
​
If you fancy knowing more about what happened on match day, or you want a laugh, you're in the right place! Andy Wood writes the match reports....
