It is with great sadness that Burley Cricket announces the death of much loved and cherished supporter, player and friend Cameron Dale.

Cameron was a keen supporter of our club and also a volunteer for many thinks such as club events and even the occasional match. Cameron’s brave fight with cancer has inspired people from all age ranges of our club and further afield too.

Tomorrow the 1st team will wear black armbands in their match against Pool CC and there will be a minutes silence in his memory. In the evening players and members of our club will gather to celebrate the life of such an amazing young man. We invite all of you to join us in raising a glass to Cameron.

A fierce supporter and a wonderful friend. Rest In Peace Cam, gone too soon. BCC x

Burley In Wharfedale Cricket Club rewarded one of its Crowd Funder supporters with a bumper fresh food hamper from a village allotment .

Sarah Ramsden received a flyer asking to support the club. Aware of the work the club does for the youth of the village she pledged £20.

The reward for this amount was “a selection of seasonal fruit and vegetables”.
Sarah mentioned that the payment was largely made to support the club that had given so much to her own family and other young cricketers in the village. She hadn’t expected to redeem anything more than a few carrots and apples.
Sarah and the children were absolutely overwhelmed by what happened next.

“The children and I had great fun on the allotment touring round with Dave letting the children pick everything. Our favourite has to be the sweetcorn which was being cooked and eaten within half an hour of leaving the allotments, we’ve never had better! I’m not sure whether the children enjoyed the picking or the eating more! Dave was so kind chatting through everything with us and letting the kids get stuck in. It was a brilliant way to spend an hour, right here in the village.”

Whilst on the allotment they gathered Bramley and Keswick apples,marrows,golden courgettes a squash and a pumpkin,loose leaved lettuces,rainbow chard, kale,broccoli,beetroot,leeks,3 different types of potato,red and brown onions,dwarf and climbing French beans,tomatoes,peppers and cucumbers .To add flavour to the vegetables herbs like fennel,mint,borage and basil were collected. On top of this a bunch of Michaelmas daisies and enough sunflowers to make Van Gogh reach for his paint brush were cut.

Sarah continued to say
“Burley in Wharfedale CC has always shown us nothing but kindness. The children have been members for three years and the team behind the scenes are incredible. It would be fantastic if they could enhance their work with improved facilities for the cricketers of the village.”
