Thanks to Simon, Ken and Ben

Simon Howell, father Ken and son Ben collectively have done us proud, putting in hours of spare time, purchasing and building our new electronic scoreboard. It was erected on Saturday 16th April but time ran out to complete the wiring-in. But a Sunday afternoon of further graft saw the job done and its up and running. Many thanks to the Howell family.


Thanks to Neil & Sue Bishopl, Neil and Sue Bishop had the idea of entering his pick-up as a float in Oakworth Gala. Their photos to the left show what a great idea it was for our boys to help the Village Society with its fund-raising!

Well done to Neil & Sue and to all the young under-9s who took part.


Ben blasts the Forest

16 year-old Ben Fothergill wrote his name into the Oakworth record books with a stunning 163no at Pendle Forest llls in the CDL Division Five CDCL match on St George's Day 2011. He helped his side reach 319-9, also a club record, which led to a 200-run winning margin (2nd best ever). The previous highest score by the Third XI was 253 also against Pendle (margin 210) in 2007 at Wide Lane.


Best CDCL debut

Paul Spraagg made an instant impact on his debut vs Bradley. After our bowlers had done a superb job taking out the visitors for just 81, Spragg settled straight away on the superb Wide Lane strip and rattled up a high quality 50no to lead Oaks to a 9-wicket win. His unbeaten half-century is the highest debut score in a Craven & District League match for Oakworth.

The previous best was 41 by Rob Fairburn back in year 2000, ironically also away at Bradley. Our highest debut score in any competition is 81 in a Keighley Cup match by Chris Kershaw against a stunned Silsden in 1997. Joe Rhodes back in 1947 only played twice for Oakworth. His debut in the West Bradford League batting no 10 brought an unbeaten 61 v defunct Morton Banks. In the Wynn Cup 16 year-old John Spurr made his bow on 5th May 1991 rattling off 9 fours & a six in an unbeaten 54 against also defunct Skipton BR.
