CUP DRAWS

Shepley 1st XI have been drawn away to Conference side Hall Bower in the second round of the Sykes Cup; the game will be played on Sunday 18 May.  The 2nd XI host Conference 2 side Clayton West; this game is put back to Sunday 25 May due to the unavailability of the Marsh Lane ground because of the annual Shepley Spring Festival.

In the Crowther Cup the 2nd XI are at home to Bradford League side Manningham Mills; the date is yet to be determined.

UP & RUNNING!

Shepley's 1st XI got its first win of the season at the second attempt with a four wicket win over Holmfirth on Saturday.  The promoted side struggled to deal with the pressure exerted by tight opening spells from Craig Glover (3-39) and Ramesh Subasinghe (1-32) and subsided to 36-6 after 20 overs, including two run outs. A good seventh-wicket stand took them over the hundred mark before Phil Heaton took 3-8 to end the innings.  Shepley's reply wobbled at 21-3 before Tom Denton (32) and Phil Heaton (31) took control, leaving the Glover brothers to finish things off with 10 overs to spare.

A second win came in the Sykes Cup tie at Kexborough on Monday, where Shepley won by six wickets.  Significant contributions came from Tim Rees (76*) with the bat and Ramesh Subasinghe (3-16) & Danny Glover (3-43) with the ball.

Congratulations to both teams and the umpires in completing the Shepley 2nd XI v Linthwaite 2nd XI Paddock Shield tie at Marsh Lane on Sunday.  Despite difficult conditions everyone concerned wanted to play, and Shepley came through with a ten wicket win.

Unfortunately, the Heavy Woollen Cup first round tie against Birstall has had to be forfeited.  The game had already fallen victim to the weather twice and our opponents were unwilling to play mid-week, leaving us with no option.  It is increasingly difficult for Huddersfield League teams to compete in the Heavy Woollen competition due to dates clashing.

Welcome to the home page of Shepley Cricket Club, heart of a rural West Yorkshire village community. The club was founded in 1871 and since 1932 has been a proud member of the Huddersfield League - a hard-fought competition that has produced many Test players for England, a group that includes Shepley's Darren Gough.

  

The First XI currently plays in the Drakes Huddersfield League Premiership, and the Second XI compete in the Premiership of the Second XI competition. The club has a wonderful record at junior levels, with the current crop of youngsters proving exceptional.  In the past few seasons the Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17 sides have each won major trophies, and today several junior players are already making their mark in the senior teams.
