I came dashing inside on Friday night and said to her indoors, eh up by eck it is a tad damp out ere (I have finally grasp the Yorkshire lingo), can’t see us playing tomorrow, Nostell is under water and YC reckons there is a duck there with my name on it, Let me here [...]

Since my arrival at Nostell CC some years ago I have heard a lot about some Aussie Hack called Dean Jones. Stories of people flocking to the ground to watch him from far and wide, him hitting a ball onto Doncaster Road (pfff I have done that… along the ground through Point of course!) and [...]

We travelled the half mile up the road to the wealthy club of Ackworth, they have two groundsman don’t you know!, on Saturday to face the second placed side. We were without the bald kiwi who was off taking photos of horses in Scotland. The four legged variety that is. Lee declared himself available, albeit [...]

A small amount of drizzle become a large down pour at about 10am Saturday. We thought a day of cards and on and off the field may be in order, that until Feathers called the game off at 11.15am, with the excuse the outfield was unplayable. Unfortunately for them the sun came out to play [...]

This week we welcomed Fairburn to Garmill Lane, The Fairies (as they are affectionately known) must have been looking forward to playing on a decent wicket after having been skittled for 37 on their home deck the week prior. I had a little look on the Fairy website to read last week’s match report to [...]

As some of you may have been aware our very own El Saviour, Lee Hurst was nominated in the Wakefield Express Sportsman of the Year award. Lee was shortlisted to the final three from over 500 entries! Not bad for a bloke was diet consists of kebab flavoured pizzas and Yellow Tail Shiraz! The presentation [...]

We travelled to the wind swept Crofton CC on Saturday to face a side that had been placed in the top four of the league for the past few years. We were missing the VC JimBob who was off chaving it up in Benidorm on a “stag do”. I personally think the Rowett’s are Nostell’s [...]

Friday Night- After having put the latest addition to the Garrick family to bed I decided to have a quick look on Facebook to see how the Nostell lads were preparing for the next days relegation match with Hooton Pagnell (who will now be referred to as Hoots). I noted two things: Uncle Ken was [...]

It is big congrats to Nic and Lee-Anne Oram on the birth of Annabelle Hope Oram. Well done to all three of you from everyone at Nostell CC.

The majority of the team managed to make the long journey across West Yorkshire to play against our old foe’s from Hatfield Town (Minus my mate black beard),although we were missing Simon who was still sunning it in Spain and Nic who was off chasing the Loch Ness Monster like the FT he is!,

As the headline states Nostell are the family friendly club (just ask the Reynolds clan!) an welcome all two legged and four legged members to Garmill Lane, unlike our close neighbour’s South Kirkby when visitors travel to their ground.  They had obviously heard about Nostell’s fine reputation as hosts and bought many supporters with them [...]

I think we should bowl first quipped Wise Old Uncle Ken after having surveyed the slopping Stainborough pitch, “Bugger that” was the quick reply from the Former Captain, having just lost a few more hairs from his already balding scalp. “Do you not remember the last two weeks old man?” .

It was a hot summers day, the chavs had their shirts off and the team from Nostell travelled to the picturesque ground of Darton. With Nic living up to his moniker of being a filthy tourist and joining the Japanese tourists down south it was left to Kiwi Number 2 (yeap I am s**t) to [...]

No one gave us a chance of playing, even as myself and the FT travelled to the ground muttering “These poms love their cricket to much’ as the windscreen wipers were going full tilt. No chance of play today I said rather wearily after 20 hours flying the previous day…Hope we get to tea came [...]

Nostell moved themselves up the league 2 table one place to 2nd on the back of a nail biting 14 run win over Stainborough on Saturday. After captain Rock Star won the toss and chose to have a bat, after last weeks failed run chase, he sent a new opening pair of Nic “the filthy [...]

This week we took to the home field knowing that a mere 8 points would secure us promotion to division two of next season’s Pontefract Cricket League. The young captain lost the toss again (maybe he is not the tosser he was in his pre g/f days??) and was asked to strap on the pads [...]

I turned up just after 1pm on Saturday to see two things of great note, Leroy rolling the square (why???) and a Nostell CC pitch that was firm with a surround that had a lush green colour to it. Now one would suggest that after having seen this that all of the effort, and all [...]

Conisborough vs Nostell St Oswalds 25th July 2009 Match Gallery A Nostell side travelled down the A1 (well most did!) to face Conisborough minus a Rowett in the side for the first time in many, many years. With Leroy making the step up from all round club saviour to all round club saviour and captain [...]

Nostell St Oswalds vs Ryhill 4th July 2009 Match Gallery It was the turn of our old friends from Ryhill and Havercroft to visit Garmill Lane for the first match in the second round. With the ground having recovered from the “boot” the previous Sunday, thanks to Eric’s many laps, the young captains intolerance of [...]
