.
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. |
