lizbiz Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Hi, I am researching Sykes county cricket club. I believe they were based in Sheffield, possibly played at Graves park. My grandfather played for them in 1947, any leads or info would be appreciatted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m8thu Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 @lizbiz did you find out any information? My father in law used to play for Sykes CC in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. He now has Alzheimer’s and his memory in failing, however he still talks about his playing days with great fondness. He tries desperately to remember names of fellow players, but struggles to remember any. If anyone can provide any names of Sykes CC players from those days I’d be very grateful, in particular my father in law talks about an “Asian man” (Indian or Pakistani), who he mentions a lot, but frustratingly can’t remember his name, though we can’t determine if this chap played for Sykes or another club. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
