Copley CC

Copley CC One huge architectural structure dominates the Copley's ground 'a substantial stone viaduct'. It is a wonderfully impressive sight.

Lane in 1880. In 1920 the ground was bought from Bentleys Yorkshire Brewery at cost of £200. At the invitation of Roy Smith (Club President at that time) the captain of Yorkshire, John Hampshire, helped the Club celebrate its centenary in 1980. The club has also celebrated it's 125th anniversary of Copley Cricket Club in 2005. We have 3 league senior teams (two play on Saturday and one on Sunday) in the sections of their respective leagues. We are particularly proud of our thriving junior section. We are a member of the Halifax Junior Cricket League and run teams in the U9's, U11's, U13's, U15's and U18's age categories and fully embrace the ECB's All Stars initiative for 4 to 7 year olds. We also have a Women and Girls team which play in the Calderdale softball league. In addition to a magnificent pavilion built in 2012, the Club enjoys an excellent site for playing and watching cricket in an extremely picturesque setting. There are good quality seats surrounding the playing surface which makes the ground ideal for the staging of "cricket festivals" and "major games." For many years Copley has staged major cup finals and we have hosted the Parish Cup Final on a number of occasions, most recently in 2023

On Saturday, the 1st Xl hosted Luddenden Foot at The Arches, who won the toss and elected to bat first. A couple of early breakthroughs saw the visitors at 22/2 but some middle order resilience saw the visitor’s post 210/9 with three wickets each for Inshal and Benj.
In reply, the home team also lost a couple of quick wickets before partnerships of 49 between Ollie T & Will and then 56 between Ollie T and Matt saw the score at 114/4 after 27 overs. At 155/7, with 7 overs remaining, Ollie T was then adjudged run out (for 53) and the team were sadly then all out for 158.

The 2nd Xl were away at SBCI, and chose to field first on winning the toss. The SBCI top order looked in good form with 155/2 on the board after 35 overs but a strong finish from Copley’s bowlers saw the home team at 205/8 at the break, with five wickets for Akain and two for Raza.

In reply, Copley lost a couple of early wickets and then found themselves at 45/3 with the loss of Ankit for 29. A further two wickets quickly followed but partnerships between Raza & Nat and then Raza & Rupesh saw the score at 137/7 but time was running out and the team finished with 153/7 after their 45 overs with an excellent maiden fifty not out from Raza.

The Sunday Section were at home to Birkby Rose Hill, who were invited to bat after Copley won the toss. The visitors lost two early wickets but this then saw a very strong middle order pile on the runs ending with 316/9 with four wickets for Akain, two for Saqib and the two early breakthroughs from the excellent Hammaad.

Facing a daunting total, the Copley team set about their reply, with a fine 70 from skipper Dave and contributions from the middle order but ultimately this came down to damage limitation and how to maximise the points haul in Sunday cricket. A very good knock from Martin, who finished 29 not out, carefully controlled the back end of the Copley innings, steering the team to 195/9 at the close, with 9 points safely gained and the visitors restricted to just 16 points despite their dominant first innings batting display.

Congratulations to Copley’s own Mithran Saravanan who represented the junior league at U10s representative level.

Mithran was the top scorer for u10's with the total of 175 runs including 2 50's in the tournament and vital 31 runs to make sure Halifax setup a competitive total in the final.

After making it through to the Final last month, our Halifax U10 Representative Team have won the Yorkshire Junior Cricket Festival with an impressive performance over Huddersfield’s Representative Team on Sunday (16 August).

After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, opener Mithran got 31 from 39 while Jonty, in at three, thoroughly earned his Player of the Match award with an impressive unbeaten 61 from 67. He also won the batting prize for the entire competition with the best average for an under 10.

A 63-run partnership with Ollie (33 from 34) joining Jonty at the crease was crucial as the team reached 142/3 in the 25 overs.

In reply, Reuben (1-8 from 4) struck in the second ball of the game while Joey’s efforts in the seventh with two wickets – one bowled, one run out thanks to Mithran - in three balls stopping Huddersfield gaining any momentum. Joey also took the bowling prize for taking the most wickets in the competition.

Ollie took 3-24 from 4, Edmund got 2-13 from 3 and Arjun secured 1-5 from 2. Laurie, Dougie and Freddie bowled well while Matty was also miserly and performed brilliantly in the field taking two catches. Keeper Morgan also performed a crucial role.

Huddersfield were always behind the rate and ended their 25 overs on 108/9 – 34 runs short.

Congratulations to all our U10s throughout the season, thank you to coaches Neil and Alice, and to all our parents, family and friends who supported on Sunday and over the past few weeks.

Two exciting senior games on Saturday this weekend, sadly both the 1st XI and 2nd XI ended up on the wrong side of the results.

Away at SBCI, the 1sts batted first on what looked like a lively track, and lost early wickets until Ollie T stood firm to finish with a fine 110 not out, (his second hundred of the season) and a late quickfire 31 from Inshal saw the team post a target of 179/7. With SBCI at 76/4 in reply, it looked as if the game could go either way but the home team reached their target with 6 down in the 43rd over with two wickets apiece for Ollie T and Benj.

The 2nds also batted first at home to Upper Hopton, and found themselves at 47/4 before Ankit (44) and skipper Karl (51) steadied the ship. Zac batted well for his 25, but the team were dismissed for 173 in the 39th over. In reply the visitors lost two early wickets to Raza which saw the score at 30/2 but a 100 run partnership then took the visitors to 130/3 before further wickets saw the scoreboard at 153/7. Sadly the team couldn't prise out any further victims and Upper Hopton passed the target in the 39th over. In addition to Raza's two early wickets, there were two also for Hammaad and three for Akain.

Good luck to our senior teams this weekend. The 1sts are away at SBCI and the 2nds are home to Upper Hopton. There is no...

Good luck to our senior teams this weekend. The 1sts are away at SBCI and the 2nds are home to Upper Hopton. There is no Sunday Section game this weekend.

Just to catch up on last weekend, our 1st XI lost a close game at home to Upper Hopton with the highlights being 6 for 43 for Benj and 62 with the bat for Sid.

The 2nds lost out away at Mount, with a superb knock of 85 not out from Akain.

The Sunday Team also lost, to table topping Lightcliffee.

A belated congratulations to each of these young Copley players for their respective performances last weekend.

Good results for both the Copley Saturday teams this weekend, the Sunday side enjoying a week off due to the Parish Cup Final.

The 1st XI, bowling first, restricted Sowerby St Peter's to 175/9, with Inshal 5/42 and Oliver T with 3/45. In reply, Sid with 53 and Will with 52 were the main contributors, with some late boundaries from Inshal (18*) and Alex (11*) seeing the team over the line at the start of the penultimate over.

The 2nd Xl, also bowling first, had to work hard against a stubborn Greetland top order, but finally took control from the 27th over which saw the visitors at 112/3 and then 147 all out in the 39th over, the slower bowlers doing the damage with Rupesh 2/35, Adil 4/14, Akain 3/21 plus a run out. In reply, 47 for Karthik, 26 for Karl with Benj taking the team over the line in the 38th over with an unbeaten 48.

Congratulations to both teams.
