Re: Cricket at KBGS

The ground and imposing pavilion at Ermysteads outside Skipton was as good if not better than most Bradford League arenas. They were interesting fixture lists for aspiring KBGS and Oakbank cricketers.

Jonathan - Sadly, Terry died some years ago. He was a great fellow to be around and is missed by many. Still lives on in this website, as in the memories of those who appreciated his wit.

Re: Cricket at KBGS

It was a good question and one of the better aspects of being at KBGS and later Oakbank. One felt a certain sense of pride when the Rev. Arthur Edward Watthey read out your name on the Monday morning assembly for feats achieved on the cricket field over the weekend before. I doubt that ever happens now at any West Yorkshire senior school.
