The Eddie Nelson Festival






		The Annual Competition sponsored by the Yorkshire County Cricket Club Charitable Youth Trust took place on Bank Holiday Monday 26 May on a cold, sunny and blustery day. 14 Clubs entered with all those taking part, players and spectators enjoying a Festival of Cricket at three venues, Ilkley, Olicanian and Ben Rhydding cricket clubs. The group winners were Guiseley, Rawdon and Hall Park after they won a bowl out with Ben Rhydding.
