May 2012 - two centuries in season opener
Romany started the season with a hard-earned victory at Kirklington. Fielding first, Romany saw the home team recover from a shaky start to post a challenging victory target of 196, the Kirklington captain scoring the first century of the afternoon. Ed Hilling starred with the bat, coming to the wicket after the unfortunate Paul Lewis had been run out without facing. Ed and Matt Knight put on 167 for the second wicket, with the former reaching three figures just before getting out. Matt scored a stylish 50 as Romany ran out winners by 5 wickets.
April 2012 - refreshed website launched
For the new season, the Club’s website has been rebuilt, to make navigation easier and to refresh some parts of it. While there is more to be done, most of the regular features have been retained (and enhanced) , including a comprehensive new section on the history of the Club up to 1949 (taken from the archives).
As before, the members' area contains names and contact details of players and others. It is password-protected. Members should contact the website administrator for log-in details.
The Romany caravan graphic has been “borrowed” from one available on the internet. It is different to the one in general use previously. If any member objects to the change and is able to create/procure a graphic of the traditional design, he should please contact the website administrator.
Comments and suggestions would be welcomed by the website administrator. There will doubtless be errors, broken links etc - do please point them out.
March 2012 - new fixture list published
Another great season of cricket lies ahead, opening on the first Sunday in May (at Kirklington), continuing almost to the end of September, with (at least) one match a week.
The highlight of the season is the Sussex Tour in August. It has been arranged for a week later than normal, to avoid clashing with The Olympics - it is unclear which of our members might be expecting selection.
We have a new fixture this year at Skipton on 29 July. After last year's fixture in Settle (where we will be playing again in September), we look forward to another fixture in that part of the County.
As ever, the fixture list contains some of the very best friendly cricket in Yorkshire. You can register your interest in any particular game by contacting the relevant match managers through the link on the fixtures page. See the full fixture list here.
