For those who asked…

I didn’t enjoy the game yesterday. There, I said it. We won without getting out of 3rd gear and took the full 10 points but I’d rather play in the Streethouse game every week (lost by nine wickets), testing yourself against better players and really finding out how good you can be against them. I’d [...]

Nostell secured back to back victories in Division 1 of the PDCL with a hard fought win over near neighbours Frickley largely thanks to the miserly bowling of Ken Atkinson and the flashing blade of Lee Hurst. After going through our unique pre-match warmup routine of bread buttering and white lining the toss was lost [...]

Big congratulations to Jason and Jo Garrick on the safe, if lengthy, arrival of baby daughter Holly. The fun starts here mate, now how long before she can make the teas….

Nostell surrendered their one match unbeaten start to the season in disappointing fashion at old rivals Fairburn on a day more suited to winter fleeces than cricket whites. After winning the toss and electing to field in an attempt to maximise pre-rain bonus points we started well, Lee Hurst and James Rowett causing openers Buxton [...]

Thurnscoe Institute vs Nostell St Oswalds 27th June 2009 Match Gallery Nostell got back to winning ways after a double loss the previous weekend on our first ever visit to Thurnscoe Institute (god bless Sat Nav). After a relaxed warmup, Wanna’s new bat was officially declared knocked in and ready for use and we were [...]

West Bretton vs Nostell St Oswalds 13th June 2009 Match Gallery This week saw an unbeaten Nostell side make their first trip to picture-postcard West Bretton. Club captain Jimbob, tired after a 3 minute walk from his house strode out for an early toss with the oppo skipper and promptly returned delivering the bad news [...]

Nostell St Oswalds vs Caribbeans 19th July 2008 Match Gallery Only cricket was the loser in Leeds in a game that finished in unplayable conditions. With a churned up track, sopping wet outfield and abusive calls from the pavilion the umpires decided to lead us back onto the pitch after a rain break at nearly [...]

Netherton vs Nostell St Oswalds 21st June 2008 Match Gallery Nostell paid their final ever league visit to Netherton amidst constant drizzle, hoping to actually get a meaningful game of cricket. In the end the elements got the better of us and off to the pub we went, England v New Zealand and a pint [...]

Nostell St Oswalds vs Newton Hill 14th June 2008 Match Gallery Normal service was resumed this weekend after a comfortable home win over Newton Hill. With birthday boy Nic Oram (30!) and fellow Kiwi Jason Garrick missing we fielded a below strength side against a team riding high in the league. With the ground looking [...]

Typical, last year the season was pushed back into May and we had the best April on record. This year we’re back to the last week in April and we have’nt seen the sun in weeks! Even though Saturday itself was reasonable the weeks before had taken their toll. Despite the usual sterling efforts to [...]

Savile Stars vs Nostell St. Oswalds 11th August 2007 Match Gallery When you circle the ground for 20 minutes without actually finding it and an umpire refuses to stand ‘on a point of principal’, you know that it’s gonna be a funny old Saturday afternoon. We turned up at a picturesue, if not particularly well [...]

Something tells me that I’m in danger of being dragged around the White Rose Centre tomorrow afternoon. After 2 torrential days the ground looks more suited to snorkelling than cricket, see artists impression below. Please feel free to insert your own duck joke here.

Newton Hill vs Nostell St. Oswalds – 19th May 2007 Match Gallery We all knew that when the league voted to move the start of the season back by 2 weeks to take advantage of better weather that it would come back to haunt us. What we did’nt know was that it would be the [...]

Co-founder member of Nostell Zealand Jason Garrick now has a player profile in the 1st XI section. Cheers to Nic for doing the deed on his fellow countryman, the picture attached just about does justice to his rather large snout! Only kidding Jason, yours is probably a little bit flatter…

Nostell Cricket Club would like to express their sincere condolences to the friends and family of Lee Doughty, who tragically passed away recently. Lee was always one of the nicer players to play against on a Saturday afternoon and played for Garforth PC and more recently Fairburn, bowled tidy left arm seam and was a [...]
