Lawns Park Primary School

Posted on by Noel Bullock

Kai Watson, Sam Barraclough, Ed Denton and Alex Holt had a visit from Lawns Park Primary School on Wednesday and they had a fun-filled morning teaching them the basics of cricket and then finished off with a game. Beforehand, Chairman John Baldwin gave a brief history of the club, Facilities and Communications Co-Ordinator Noel Bullock spoke about what his role entails and Bradford Premier Cricket League award-winning Groundsman from 2021 Mark Mason also had some input explaining what is required to maintain the picturesque outfield. Here are some pictures (we have photo consent for all). Hannah Robertson (Year 5 Teacher) said:” Thank you again for such a lovely morning. The children had nothing but great things to say and many want to join a cricket team now because of the sessions. Thanks again”.

Farnley Fest 25

We are looking for stall holders, entertainers and raffle prizes for Farnley Fest 25. With us having the biggest beer garden in Farnley, we were approached to see if we could help and it was a no-brainer. Noah Butterfield has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and will be undergoing 6 months of intense chemotherapy at the age of 3. Also, on top of this, due to where the tumour was located, he has devastatingly lost his vision and has been registered as severely vision impaired. #FarnleyFest25

Clean Sweep For Our Juniors

Posted on by Noel Bullock

The toss was won by New Farnley U11’s skipper George Smith who put Gomersal into bat. With some tight bowling from Esa Shah (3 overs 2/5) along with many others, Gomersal finished 3 down with a net score of 268. The pick of the batters was Woodhead with 10 from 10 balls (2 fours). New Farnley’s batting innings got off to a flyer when Esa Shah hit 23 runs off 12 balls (5 fours and 1 six). Supported by Hasan Khan, Oli Lee and others, a fantastic penultimate over from Hodson resulted in 3 wickets and a close final over chase to come. However, Maxwell Swallow and Edward Long kept their nerve and batted out the final over, keeping their net score at 276. There was some incredible diving stops and solid wicket keeping too as New Farnley get the first game out of the way with a win matching our U13’s and U18’s.

Junior Round Up – 30/04/25

Gomersal won the toss and put New Farnley in to bat first. New Farnley got off to a flyer when openers Tom Shuttleworth and Benji Thornhill quickly retired, Tom scoring 25 in 18 balls and Ben scoring 25 in 21 balls. This success spread through the team like wildfire as Lily Lonsdale, Artie Hoult, Musa Shah and Caleb Emmett all scored quick-fire runs. The pick of the bowlers was Neel Sharma who only went for 9 off 2 overs and New Farnley finished on the huge total of 196 without loss. The great start for New Farnley continued throughout the second half of the match. With wickets being taken quickly by Musa Shah (2-2), Max Swallow (1-7) and 4 others taking 1 wicket each, the only resistance in the Gomersal batting was S Shah (21 from 28 balls). The young Gomersal lineup finished on 61 All Out.
