CRICKET CLUB
G
omersal CC is based on
Oxford Road in West
Yorkshire and their first
team currently competes
in Division 2 of the Bradford Cricket
League. They are led by Chairman
Russell Greenwood while their
Director of Cricket is Chris Rhodes
and the club is looking to progress
under their guidance.
This season, their first team has
put together a steady campaign up to
now having compiled a record of six
wins and six defeats from their thirteen
matches with the other game being
abandoned. This has left them in a midtable position with 143 points on the
board.

It would be fair to say that they have
not been in the best run of form of late
and will be keen to turn this around as
soon as possible. As long as they do so
they should be in with a good chance of
going on to claim a finish in the top half
of the league.
One of the standout features of the
Gomersal set up is the superb youth
section that the club currently has in
place. This part of the club looks to
provide youngsters from the local area
with an opportunity to play the game
in a safe and enjoyable environment
whilst helping them to reach their full
potential.
It is important for any side to be
able to produce their own talent if they
are to be successful over a sustained
period of time and this is an area that
Gomersal appears to have covered. It
will certainly be exciting to see how
their youngsters can progress
over the coming years.
In order to
help ensure that these players enjoy a
smooth transition into the senior game
Gomersal also have a 2nd XI running.
This allows them to gain experience
of adult level cricket even if they are
not yet considered ready for first team
action which can be an important step
in the development process.
Another benefit of having an extra
side is that it allows the first XI to benefit
from far greater strength in depth. If
they are ever left short on numbers
