Woodside Warriors

This is the homepage for the Woodside Warriors Cricket Club based in Bingley, West Yorkshire, England. We have been playing 20 overs cricket now for over 30 years. The game we play is very similar to 20twenty cricket , the main difference being that in our version, all outfield players (other than the wicket keeper), have to bowl 2 overs each. Also, we don't play the LBW rule since our batsmen are crap and our umpires are usually senile.

OPENING DAY DISASTER

Woodside Warriors
OPENING DAY DEFEAT 10th MAY 2006
Unfortuately the Warriors first game of the season got off to a bad start largely due to vice captain Dziedzic's so called 'ohh he'll be alright' stand in.
After superb start and taking early wickets ( Kunz's 'stand in' getting a golden wicket)the run rate accelerated with Tom's mate's 10 wides and a windmill Airedale batsmen.
Chasing a reasonable target of 114ish we got of to a flyer with most making double figures. Captain Kunz finally broke his duck against his employers by making a quick 25. However none could have guessed the script as Tom's mate played just like his mentor but with-out the ones ie dot, dot, dot.The cricketer in question who shall remain name-less managed a record 10 overs scoring a poultry 7 ! Neadless to say we ran out of overs despite a late rallying call of J M senior and junior and Gangus.
Anyway we'll blame the captain for foolishly believing the vice captain in the first place !

Ste Stead's new bat unveiled


Ste Stead's new bat was unveiled yesterday at a ceremony attended by local dignitaries.

The bat pictured left, is a Slazenger fireball XL5 twin turbo Apollo 13 interstella special.

Tom was quoted as saying "lets hope its not the Wragg/Hodge effect kicking in, you know all kit ,no talent. If he doesn't get 500 runs he'll get the mick taken from him, until the second fixture. Mind you if I can borrow it, maybe I can do a glorious drive to maybe silly point....or further".

Commitment in question


Maybe the team should consult their star player before arranging matches at ridiculous times.

Some commitment to me would be nice, all year i run this site and what do i get out of it?

Thats right, ample opportunity to slag off Rex and Polak. Its great.


Here's another picture of Samui for you. Its 35C here, if your interested.

PS note the palm tree that JK's bat is probably made from.

cheap holiday

Skegness has changed since the last time i had

a holiday there. Another holiday on the cheap

from a member of the Stead family. Would you

like us to rearrange the date of the first game,

or would you prefer to cancel your holiday

and pledge your support and committment

to the warriors? If you opt for the second

choice, i may be able to take the Butlins

holiday off your hands.
