On Other News Front
In these modern times, when access to the public eye and ear is easier to gain through the likes of Social Media etc., than was previously the case via newspapers and TV/Radio, or even the good old fashioned pen and paper, there is still a temptation for those in control to place an emphasis on poor rather than good news or information.
This is very noticeable when looking at Sport in particular. It is so much easier to criticise than complement those taking part either in an organising capacity, or Refereeing / Umpiring or Playing whatever that sport happens to be. So when the opportunity presents itself to publicise such complementary observations, we make no apologies for taking full advantage of that opportunity.
On Sunday Morning the 28th May, the following email landed in our inbox from Glyn Pearson, ACO Education Officer.
I would just like to record the appreciation of my colleague, Andrew Bullock, and myself to the players of Pudsey Congs and East Bierley and the officials of Pudsey Congs for providing one of the most enjoyable Bradford Cricket League matches I have had in the last 30 years.
From the time of the minute’s silence the home captain, Babar Butt, and the visiting captain, Adam Patel, conducted themselves and their teams with dignity and sportsmanship
Following a tremendous storm the Pudsey Congs officials and players worked hard to ensure the game resumed as soon as possible. Both captains and scorers cooperated with the umpires in the calculation of the lost overs and DLS target scores.
On the field both sets of players played the game hard but in a magnificent sporting spirit. Both clubs were a credit to the League and the game of cricket.
Glyn
Great to hear and we feel sure that you would join us in adding your congratulations to our players for embracing that "Sporting Spirit"

Well Done to ALL our supporters, members and Friends!!!
Each year we endeavour to help to cover the cost of staging the game of cricket by people supporting the amount by donating towards the cost of the Match Ball, Umpires fees, Ground Preparation etc. We usually cover around 50%of all Senior league games, but this year you have past all expectations by supporting this cause to the tune of having covered 18 of the 22 possible SENIOR Home League games so far and still only two games into the season.. Currently there are just two 1st and two 2nd Eleven games uncovered and wouldnt it be great if we are able to create what is thought to be an all time record, when every first and second team home games are sponsored by individuals or families and companies. Details of games still available can be found under the Sponsors Tab at the top of this page.
THANK YOU, YOUR HELP & SUPPORT REALLY IS APPRECIATED
1st and 2nd Team Selection now available under the Cricket Tab
