Officials of the Accrington and Dist rict Cricket League have
discovered that several of their oldest trophies have disappeared
without trace.
Cricket historian Nigel Stockley, who is researching the history
of the league for a new book to be released next year to
celebrate the 100th season of competition, requested to see the
trophies to help compile statistics for the book.
The missing trophies are the Entwistle Cup, first presented in
the 1930s, the Riley Holding Cup which was presented for
Sportsmanship in the 1950s, and the Cocker Cups which were the
individual batting and bowling prizes from the same era.
Photographs of league teams from the past are also needed for use
in the book, particularly of old Sunday School teams such as
Green Haworth, Cambridge Street, St John's and St Peter's.
Anyone who has any information as to the whereabouts of the
trophies, photographs or general memorabilia, is asked to contact
Nigel Stockley on 01254 392923.
