The new season is opon us.

In preparation for the season opener vs Graces CC at Marble Hill Park on Sunday 6th April, Crossbats CC will be undertaking winter warm up matches 28-31 March in Granada, Spain.

A few warm up matches and large quantities of the local brew should ensure the squad are finely tuned for the first match.

265 chased down at Richmond Green vs The Cricketers - winning off the last ball of the match with the last pair at the wicket. A game to be remembered for many years! 😊.

Saying farewell to Stuart Skinner.

Marble Hill’s loss will be Yorkshire’s gain. As the sodden grass pitches and coal-based diet of the North beckon; Stuart will be moving up-country in August. He has been one of the most regular and stand-out performers for Crossbats over the past few years.

With his steely resolve and proclivity for playing in foul weather conditions, his move seems destined to be a success. Sure to enjoy the low-strength flat beer on offer in God’s own country, Stu departs the Crossbat’s fold for now but we all have a sneaking suspicion he’ll be back for the occasional game when he tires of curd tarts and needs a little sunlight, especially as he’s not really built for rugby league.

Wishing you and your family all the best in your new adventures Stuart.
