League Match Report – 1st May 2022

Its good to see that we can all unite and celebrate one of two Eids on the same day throughout the country and on behalf of the league committee we wish all players and umpires Eid Mubarak.

Not the best of days for cricket and the overnight rain certainly didn’t dampen the scores in todays matches as we had a number of matches scoring well above the maximum batting points. It remained overcast all day and the conditions favoured the ballers.

Whiterose became the first club to live stream their league match at Park Avenue, Bradford. The full match can be watched via the link below
