Crossbanks land plum cup derby with Birstall

Crossbank Methodists have been handed a plum Jack Hampshire Trophy first round tie against neighbours Birstall on Sunday May 17.

Crossbank are gearing up for their first season in the Central Yorkshire League and will relish locking horns with their Premier Division neighbours.

Crossbank have recruited an overseas fast bowler from Australia, who they hope will spearhead their attack in the CYL.
