Sky Cricket Coverage
Crab Field, home to Elsecar Cricket Club. Captured, with the hosts batting, during the early stages of a 21-run victory, Elsecar's first of the 2022 season, over neighbours Barnsley Woolley Miners in the Premier Division of the Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League.
Although cricket has been played in Elsecar village since the early 1800s, Elsecar Cricket Club weren't established until 1854. The decision was taken during a meeting at a pub, the Milton Arms, which survives, to this day, on the same road, Armroyd Lane, as the club's Crab Field ground. The ground is named after a line of crab apple trees that once fringed a side. Under the terms of a naming rights sponsorship agreement, with a tile retailer, the ground is known also as the Al-Murad Stadium.
After a decade of progress, on and off the field, Elsecar, crowned 2014 Yorkshire champions, are now established at ECB Premier Division level. Previously, they played in the Hallamshire, the Mexborough, the Yorkshire Council and the South Riding (later renamed the South Yorkshire Senior) leagues.
