For those who do not know the history of the fixture, this is from the club history:
Twelve months later on 29th April 1922 Lt. Col. Hardcastle dedicated the ground to the cricket club in memory of the members who had fallen in the Great War. In a magnanimous gesture the Colonel had, a few weeks before on the 11th of March, legally agreed to donate the ground to the cricket club, and have trustees appointed to secure permanently the use of the ground for the cricket club. A memorial stone was unveiled at the dedication on which each member’s name was inscribed. Kearsley were again the visitors, and each year since on the date of the Bradshaw v. Kearsley match, the captain of each side has placed a wreath on the memorial at a ceremony during the interval.
There are 24 names on the memorial, for details click here.

A Night of Comedy with Dr. Kevin Jones
2023-10-20 19:00 - 23:00
Join us for a night of comedy with Dr. Kevin Jones!
Medicine, like sex death and the law, is one of the public’s eternal fascinations and nobody describes it to the lay audience as entertainingly as Dr Kevin Jones.
Kevin qualified in Medicine from Liverpool University. He spent 4 years on the Heart-Lung transplant team at Papworth Hospital Cambridge and 6 years at the prestigious St Bartholomew’s Hospital London. He finished his medical career as an NHS consultant chest physician at the Royal Bolton Hospital, Lancashire.
At the same time he was a much sought after humorous after-dinner speaker with his tales of the less serious side of hospital medicine. In 2018 he took his One Man Show to the Edinburgh Fringe and sold out his 200 seat venue every night to excellent reviews.
As a Fringe comedy judge described it – “This is a thoroughly entertaining 50 minutes of comedy, which is skilfully performed, well-structured and paced.”
Join us for what will be a great evening.
Tickets: £15
Book as a table of 6 or 10 to guarantee seats together
Add a cheese board for 4 people – £20
