Commiserations to the family of Ian Emmott who sadly passed away in April. Ian was a successful bowler, who in his career took 9-57 for our 2nd XI at Tong Park in 1982. He was also the Club's Secretary in the early 1980s, before becoming an excellent & popular umpire in the Airedale-Wharfedale League. When Ian retired from umpiring he was a frequent spectator at Summerhill Lane. He will be greatly missed.

Steeton CC Annual Club dinner was held at Steeton Hall on Saturday 5th March, once again many thanks to Mick Hardwick & John Pollard for organising the event. The food was excellent, and I think everyone had a very enjoyable evening.
Steeton 1st XI beat Upper Wharfedale in the preliminary round of the Waddilove Cup on 8th May, and so too did our 2nd XI who played Upper Wharfedale in the Birtwhistle Cup at home on the same day. Our 3rd XI lost to Harden away on 1st May in the first round of the Chappell Cup. Our 1st XI marched through to the next round of the Waddilove Cup beating Olicanian by 101 runs: Shane McNamara scored 104 runs. Our 2nd XI played their Birtwhistle Cup match at Olicanian when they progressed to the next round with a comfortable 9 wicket victory
The new practice nets were formally opened before the Ian Chappell Cup final on Bank Holiday Monday 30th August 2010. The brief ceremony was at 1.00pm with MP Kris Hopkins doing the honours
Steeton CC CricketForce 2011 weekend was held on 2nd & 3rd April. Thank you to everyone who helped out this year - you are greatly appreciated.

For the second year running Steeton CC yesterday hosted the
Yorkshire u11s v Cumbria u11s representative junior cricket match. As usual,
the groundstaff produced a fine wicket which was greatly appreciated by both
sets of coaches and players. Some excellent cricket of a very high standard
for the age group was played by both teams, Yorkshire posting 220 for 4 in
40 overs with Cumbria only managing 130 for 6 in reply in the same number of
overs
As is expected, the club rose to the occasion and the day was a huge
success. Yorkshire Cricket expressed a very big thanks to the Club for
hosting the event with a special mention to the ladies catering - Molly,
Rachel, Alison and Josie - who ensured that the catering provided was of the
usual high standard
Steeton
U-9s win Malsis Cup
Steeton Cricket Club's Under9
teams had a great start to the 2010 season by winning the Malsis Festival
Cup on Sunday 27th June.
Whilst the majority of the population were awaiting in trepidation England's
World Cup game vs Germany, approximately 600 young cricketers, parents and
supporters enjoyed a full day of cricket at Malsis School.
Glorious weather, great facilities and professional organisation resulted in
an excellent day's cricket.
As always, the Under-9s section was keenly contested with teams submitted
from Steeton, Skipton, Oakworth (2), Earby and Wharfedale cricket clubs.
Each team played each other in a round-robin format with Steeton the clear
victors with 5 straight wins.
Each member of the team, comprising of Thomas Meakin, Waseem Qureshi, Adil
Modak, Harris Rowlett, Anish Ghosh, Lucas Watt & Matthew Lister made
individual contributions to what was ultimately a great team performance.
Many thanks to the team, their families and coaches for supporting this
event.
Former Steeton player Harry Doane sadly passed away on 18th
September 2010 peacefully at home. Harry was 75 years of age.
A young Harry can
be found on this old photograph of the official opening of the new pavilion at Summerhill Lane in 1951, which has been kindly sent to us by Kelvin Doane.
School Cricket Festival
Over 40 boys and girls from Silsden's Hothfield Junior, Cowling Community
Primary, Kildwick C.E. Primary and Lothersdale Community Primary schools
enjoyed an afternoon of Kwik Cricket at Steeton Cricket Club.
The schools played each other in a 'round-robin' competition, based on
Gordon-Bowers rules and qualified coaches from Steeton CC were on hand to
provide skills training. The games provided plenty of runs and all were
keenly contested.
However by virtue of winning all three of their games, Hothfield proved to
be worthy winners with Lothersdale in runners-up position, 2 points behind.
Despite Kildwick and Cowling putting together some good scores they couldn't
quite match the technique of the winners.
Through a partnership arrangement with South Craven School, the school
provided a great deal of support, and the umpiring and scoring was done by
Junior Leaders.
During the afternoon, players and spectators enjoyed refreshments and fruit
provided by the club and although the weather was dull and blustery, the
entertainment brightened up the day and the festival gave the youngsters a
taste of junior cricket. A big thanks to all the schools for participating,
to South Craven for their support and organisation, and to John Akrigg,
Keith Meakin and Ron Clough for coaching on the day.
