Beaten again! – Week 17 Garforth PC (h)
Nostell St Oswalds vs Garforth PC 1st September 2007 Match Gallery The day started well, sunny day, a relatively full strength side minus JC and the return of Nostell legend Paul Wilkinson.

Dr Jackson Cancer Fund Cricket Day at Nostell CC – Sunday 26th August from 10.30am
Last Thursday all at Nostell were sad to hear of the death of our former umpire and friend Gordon Batley following a long illness and it will be a fitting tribute to the man that his annual cricket tournament will go ahead as planned this Sunday as was the wish of the man himself. The [...]
Won by 172! – Week 12 Netherton (a)
Netherton vs Nostell St. Oswalds 28th July 2007 Match Gallery With a glorious day forecast the more sceptical amongst our side wondered if we’d get a phone call from the league on friday to advise us our fixture the next day against Netherton was postponed until a wet day in November. Thankfully the call never [...]
No game, no favours – Week 11 Newton Hill (h)
With a weather warning for last weekend issued at the begining of the week there were never any real prospects for play at the weekend so it looked as though all teams would collect rain points….

Top of the league – Week 4 Netherton (h)
Nostell St. Oswalds vs Netherton – 26th May 2007 Match Gallery Psychology has always played a major part in Nostell v Netherton games and it did again on Saturday.

Friendly – NCC XI vs Thorpe Audlin 22nd April
For our first outing of the season Nostell welcomed our near neighbours Thorpe Audlin for a friendly.

Groundworks update
As the new season approaches we’ve been hard at work getting the place ready. The money spent on the square at the end of last season looks to have had an impact and a significant amount of rolling has already taken place.
