Yorkshire County Cricket Supporters&#x27; Association

On Sunday we were delighted to have the company of @yorkshireccc.bsky.social vice chair Ian Townsend, who talked about his career leading up to his involvement with Yorkshire. It was a fascinating afternoon, and we would like to thank Ian for giving us his time.

Thank you to all who attended today's lunch, it was again a good quality meal. A reminder about our first winter meeting on Sunday, 14:30 (room free from 14:15) at Headingley Parish Hall, with YCCC vice-chair Ian Townsend our guest speaker. All welcome!

Prior to last night's @yorkshireccc.bsky.social 2026 awards dinner, we presented our final two awards from the 2025 season: Will Bennison for Young Player, and Jay Singh for Emerging Player. Well done to them both!

With the final scorecard print of the season in full flow, we'd like to thank everyone who has bought a scorecard from us this season. We've raised over £3,000 (plus whatever we take tomorrow), which will be put to good use by @yorkshireccc.bsky.social , especially for the young players. 1/5

One big special thank you goes to Dunesforde, whose sponsorship helped us to cover the costs of our endeavour, which has meant all of what we've raised can be donated to the Club. 2/5

In fact, Dunesforde co-owner and YCCC vice chair Ian Townsend will be our speaker at our first winter meeting on Sunday 18th October, 2:30PM at Headingley Parish Hall. All are welcome! 3/5
