On Friday night we held the final Presentation Evening of the season, with awards being presented to our Senior Players, along with some Club and recognition awards.

It was great to celebrate the 2026 season, especially for our very young Development Team, who finished top of the table in the East Section of the Mid-Yorkshire Sunday League.

Evenings like this can never take place without a small army of volunteers to ensure successful match-days, so we extend a special thanks to those who prepared the ground, umpired, scored, made teas and worked the bar.

The Under 11s recently celebrated another brilliant year, with both teams finishing in 5th place in both the Leeds and Heavy Woollen Leagues.

We’ve had lots of positives, with more kids playing cricket having fun and being a part of the club 🥳. We look forward to the Winter nets in January, when the hard work starts again 🏏.

Huge thanks to the coaches Paresh, Liam, Leon and Dean who gave up their time to coach our young cricketers of the future, teach them new skills and more importantly, to ensure they love the game we all do!

Well done to all the boys, good luck to those moving up to the U13’s and also to those who won individual awards for the 2026 season. It’s been a blast!

As the picture suggests, we’re having extensive work carried out on the wicket this winter, at a considerable cost to the cricket club and those who’ve fundraised all season to make this work possible.

However, as much as we love to see kids down supporting Altofts AFC and Altofts AFC Women, we really don’t want them playing footy on the wicket or retrieving balls from it!

We’d really appreciate it if you would encourage your kids to keep off the ground whilst work is being undertaken.

Many thanks for your support.

The season finished a little over a week ago and we would like to say a massive thank you and goodbye to this seasons overseas Dean Van Onselen

Coming over as a 19 year old and turning 20 during the season he has certainly given everything each and every week and scored 708 runs including 4 half centuries and a brilliant 108* against Gomersal

A top man both on and off the field

Good luck for the season back in South Africa
