CRICKET CLUB
T
hurstonland CC is a
terrific example of the
important role that a
club can play in their
local community. They are based at
Marsh Hall Lane in Huddersfield and
their first team currently competes in
the Conference of the Huddersfield
Cricket League.
The earliest record of a game being
played for the club was against New
Mill on May 6th 1876. Since then the
club has gone on to put together a
history of which they have every right
to be proud. M Oldham stands out as
a key performer with the bat over the
years and is their leading run scorer
with 11730.
From the bowling side of things D
Rishton leads the way with 1155 wickets
whilst both P. Brammall and Lee Booth
have also distinguished themselves
with 775 and 711 wickets respectively.
Rishton also holds the record for most
games played for the side having racked
up 711 appearances.
This season their first team has
generally been in good form, having
put together a record of five wins and
three defeats from their ten matches
played to date with the other two being
abandoned. This sees them sitting
in a solid mid-table position
with 36 points on the
board.
This should provide them with the
perfect platform from which to build as
they look to push on in the second half of
the campaign. As long as they can retain
their current group of players and keep
up their recent level of performance
they should be in with a good chance of
a successful finish to the season.
From the batting side of things
Christopher Flanagan has proven
himself to be one of the top batsmen in
the league, scoring more than 500 runs
in his 13 matches at an
average of 63.
