UHCC Announcement.

It is with much sadness that the cricket club announces our former groundsman David Laycock has passed away.
Our thoughts at this very sad time are with his wife Geraldine and son Russell.
David was a key member of the UHCC family. Working very hard, tirelessly, often alone, in preparing excellent wickets for the teams to play on week after week, year after year.
A former cricketer himself, David started playing in his teens at Ruddlesdens in the Dewsbury League, playing their home games at Sands Lane. He then moved to Gomersal in the 60's and Birstall for a couple of seasons. He was offered semi pro monies at Windhill and another Bradford League club but was never interested in playing for money. He then started playing for Batley in the mid 70's where his younger brother Colin played. At that stage, Batley were playing in the 2nd division of the Central Yorkshire League. Notable players in the team were David Battye and Paul Heaton. The playing standard began to improve and Batley were promoted to division 1 in 1979/80. David was scoring plenty of runs including centuries in consecutive years against Hunslet Nelson. Promotion meant that new players were required to strengthen the team and under new captain Peter Trevitt semi pro terms were offered to several new players from the Huddersfield area including Geoff Gill, Ian Kenworthy and Brian Mason. David continued scoring runs batting  in the early order. As the first team continued to be strengthened David worked his way into the 2nd team where he won the batting prize several times before his accident in Corfu in 1987 which forced him to stop playing and watch his son Russell develop his cricketing prowess!
With the help of Roy Holdsworth David was persuaded to take up the groundsman role at Upper Hopton CC in the mid 2000's. He did this successfully for many years and developed the square massively into the good quality cricket wicket it now is.

Week 11 of the 2022 Enco Halifax Cricket League had no fixture for the first eleven this week. The onus then was on the 2nd team to perform well against Luddendenfoot CC at home and to try end the run of 4 consecutive defeats .
The 2nd Team had an excellent win, an all round team performance showing the ability is there to improve their league position.
Performances of the day were excellent knocks  of 38 & 36 by George Turton & Graham Whitworth and a half decent bowling performance by John Stanger taking 4 wickets for 15 runs, ably supported by Graham Whitworth, Thomas Wilkes and Oliver Boyes with 2 wickets each .


2nd Team performances
Picture
Week 10 of the 2022 Enco Halifax Cricket League resulted in an extremely close defeat for the first team away at Outlane CC.
2nd Team unfortunately lost at home against Stones CC.
Performances of the day were Matt Broadbent's excellent knock of 52 ably supported by Charlie Gallagher's  knock of 47 in the 1st team, and an excellent knock of 71 not out from Richard Wood, and Thomas Wilks 3 wicket haul in the 2nd teams defeat.
