🏏Saturdays Teams🏏
🏠Bilton first team are at home again and looking to continue the recent good form, The Bartlett brothers return to the team as does Tom Main and Andrew Walker. 1st team call up for Rhys Meredith which will bring delight to the village of Cowthorpe. The Merediths are some of Cowthorpes most famous names along with the historic oak tree (no longer with us), grade 1 listed church, Arnold Warneken and Sir Bryan Roucliffe (or Brian Rouclyff), who was a lawyer and Baron of the Exchequer (no longer with us).
⏰12 Start at Home
🚙The second team head back to the suburbs of York to play Osbaldwick. There's more to Osbaldwick than a B&Q superstore. In 1852, the Church was allowed to sell off land, and Osbaldwick Manor was sold to Thomas Samuel Watkinson, later the Lord Mayor of York. A deal which had he been alive in the 1850s would see our land agent Johnny Cordingley rubbing his beige chinos with glee, he’d tell the church to split the manor and land up into more lots as Mr Watkinson is loaded and in 150 years they will probably build a hardware superstore around here.
⏰ 1pm Start.
