Lots of TLC for the green and grounds through winter
During the summer months we cannot fail to see and appreciate the huge amount of work that our green keeper Norman, and his assistant Paul, put into maintaining the green and that Mike puts into maintaining the surrounding grounds and croquet pitch. But in winter, when the green lies silent, resting and waiting for our return in April do they get a rest too?
2024 Presentation Evening
There was a big turnout last week for our 2024 presentation evening and a great time was had by all. As well as the presentation of trophies to our competition and league winners there were awards for the best best individual and pairs averages within each of Shepley's teams. The evening was rounded off with a fun quiz and raffle which helped raise a total of £171.00 for Children In Need.

Our Mirfield & District Team tops their Division
Congratulations to our Mirfield & District League team who have finished the 2024 season at the top of Division 6. It was a closely fought battle against second placed Waterloo with overall points tied at 93 apiece and Shepley coming out on top by virtue of a better 'Average aggregate for' of 146.79 vs 145.93. It doesn't come much closer that that!

Fantastic turnout for our 2023 Presentation Evening
Our Annual Presentation Evening was held on Friday 17th November 2023 at Shepley Cricket Club with over 50 club members attending. It was another brilliant evening for which much thanks is due to Heather and Norman Raper and friends, and to Sue Roberts for her table decorations which added beautifully to the wonderful atmosphere provided by the room. After a delicious buffet, and a few visits to the bar, we moved on to the main event - the presentation of awards acknowledging the many successes of our various team and individual players.
