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 […]

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 […]

Brodsworth Main v Nostell St Oswald 5th September 2009
As we continued our quest for another 10 points to consolidate our league leadership we travelled to play Brodsworth, to seek revenge for our home defeat earlier this season. As with most “Miners Welfare” grounds the facilities were top notch and the wicket looked surprisingly like a […]

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 and […]

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 […]

Nostell St Oswalds V Ackworth 2 15th August 2009 Match Gallery
The team travelled down the road for another local derby and resisted the temptation to have an overnight stopover in Wragby. Probably not really justifiable for a 4 mile round trip.
The wicket looked like a shirt front and after a short delay, proceedings commenced with […]

Hatfield Town vs Nostell St Oswalds 8th August 2009 Match Gallery
After the cancellation of the previous weeks fixture it was good to return to play with some sunny weather as we made the trip over to nearest rivals Hatfield Town. The after effects of all this rain showing & the fact we haven’t played at […]

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 he […]

Nostell St Oswalds V Frickley 2nds 18th July 2009 Match Gallery
After 2 days and more of tropical style rain, a call was sent out by Jimbob for “help mopping up” in order to get the game on. I arrived with a bag full of towels to see a very old bearded man (surrounded by hundreds […]

Glass Houghton vs Nostell St Oswalds 11th July 2009 Match Gallery
Week 13 saw Nostell visit Glasshoughton for the first time with ex-Glasshoughton player and now Nostell Legend Steve Reynolds predicting a run fest against a team who ran us close earlier in the season.
I assume the sensitive young captain won the toss as Nostell batted first […]

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 un […]

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 to […]

Nostell St Oswalds vs Whitley Bridge 21st June 2009 Match Gallery
After the first league defeat the previous day Nostell had the chance to redeem themselves and push on to the semi finals of the cup when they hosted Whitley Bridge on Sunday.
The Young Captain won the toss and choose to bat first on a wicket […]

Nostell St Oswalds vs Brodsworth Main 20th June 2009 Match Gallery
The day before the game
Deep in ‘thought’ at work, the young captain decided a quick call to the captain was in order. ‘What’s the weather forecast overnight?, I might put the cover on, should only take 10 minutes!’ declared the captain.
Several hours later after a […]

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 - […]
