Lightcliffe Cricket Club’s Till Carr Lane home will host West Yorkshire’s biggest club cricket match when this year’s Bentley Drains Priestley Cup final takes place on Sunday, August 16.

New Farnley CC and Woodlands CC will contest the match just two weeks after competing in the ECB National Club Championship quarter-final.

New Farnley were the winners of that fixture by five wickets and have progressed to the semi-finals on the road to Lord’s, but that means Woodlands will be out for revenge in the Priestley Cup.

Big crowds are expected at the final, the showpiece event of the Bradford Premier League’s season, with an afternoon of cricket, food and fun for all the family.

The match starts at noon and gates open at 11am.

Richard Leach, Chairman of Lightcliffe Cricket Club, said: “Hosting the Priestley Cup final is a huge honour for the club and a great reflection on the success we have had in developing the new pavilion and in showing that we have the ability to lay on a big cricket event.

“This contest is not known as West Yorkshire’s biggest club cricket match for nothing and with New Farnley CC and Woodlands CC in the final, it promises to be a hugely engaging and entertaining contest with plenty going on for everyone to enjoy.”

All are welcome to attend the match with tickets £5 for adults; £2 for seniors, U15s and U18s; and free entry for U13s and under.
