Spectators on the railway side of Triangle Cricket Club's Grassy Bottom ground. The ladder facilitates retrieval when the ball is hit into trees clinging to an embankment of the former Rishworth branch line. Captured during a 17-run Halifax League defeat by Premier Division rivals Warley in a third-versus-second clash.
Warley, put in on a moist, unpredictable wicket, found runs hard to come by initially, and were only 52-4 at drinks. But century-maker Faheem Khatana and Luke Duckitt, caught off the final delivery, added 128 for the seventh wicket, enabling the visitors to post a competitive total. Openers Nathan Madden and Adam Stocks gave Triangle a solid start as the wicket dried but the hosts failed to build on those solid foundations, collapsing from 70-1 to 181-7. A late flurry from Chris Metcalf and Tom Kenworthy could not prevent defeat.
