    Glasshouses Cricket Club has issued a plea for new players amid fears it could fold after more than 100 years.

    Glasshouses was a founder member of the Nidderdale league in 1894 and has won the league on 19 occasions. But it currently only has five members ready and able to play for the new season in April.

    It now has only a short time left to sign up enough players to show the league that it has the strength to fulfil fixtures. If it can't, it will have to stand down and more than a century of village cricket will come to an end.

    The club, which is in the fifth division of the Nidderdale and District Amateur Cricket League, has good facilities and plays on a well-maintained ground in a peaceful setting two miles from Pateley Bridge.

    Kites swoop overhead and the River Nidd flows by the southern boundary line.

    Committee member Stephen Boyden said:

    "If you are a cricketer who wants friendly though competitive cricket, get in touch with the club now and save them from the saddest of endings.
    "You don’t have to live in the area to join the club, all ages are welcome from 12 years old, and both men and women are welcome to join too."


    If you are interested in joining or want to find out more, contact Graham on 07740 786588.
