    Been to watch our local Sunday League team. (Barnsley Sunday League.) I'm the club Secretary, so can't avoid it. Drew 2-2 with the Pack Horse from Royston.

    Unfortunately out newly formed B team lost 9-0 at Hoyland Social. Onwards and upwards. :D

    Have to say in 30+ years of playing the game (I'm 44 this year) I have never walked off the pitch. Felt like it a few times, however.

    I played at darfield for many years. Only played at fishlake once. Went quite a few times with junior players. It is a long way especially after work.

    Got my first 50 at Darfield as a 14 year old.

    Never played there since.

    Yes X1 goes round a few villages so it’s an interesting bus ride from Durkar particularly when you don’t go on buses very often like me

    Me too mate, can't remember the last time I caught a bus, definitely looks like a good day out though Holmfirth is a lovely place on a sunny day, always jealous when I drive past the Old bridge hotel with loads sat outside drinking.

    I was playing at 48. Bit part bowler, bit part batter. Shi7 hot fielder. My 15 yo was promoted to play with the big Misters. He went in at 5 and was going well. I went in at 7 to join him, emotional and bursting with pride.
    Ran him out, first ball.

    He still brings it up occasionally

    Had a lovely couple of hours down at the club this afternoon with my 2 year old. Every summer a local brass band have a game of cricket between themselves and we let them use our ground for nowt (we make money from food/drink). They’re a lovely bunch and have a great day. One of the lads fired the barbie up and a few of the regulars went down for a beer and a burger. Had a great time and it’s all money back to the club which gets reinvested into the facilities.

    Would strongly recommend going down to your local club on a summer’s day where it’s a safe space for families.
