One of the big issues coming from this season has been the general lack of money coming into the club. This has meant there have been issues in buying balls and funding ground development for equipment such as sitescreens and wicket covers.
This next season we will be looking to improve the ground but in order to do this we will need to raise some money. If you are aware of anyone who runs a business, no matter how large or small, and who is perhaps willing to put a little money into the club, then please get in touch. This might be as little as £15 or so to sponsor the match day ball, or donating more money towards the provision of other equipment.

Results - Week 22
What should have been a great day for the East Keswick 1st team dissolved into farce after a series on incidents led to them losing their final game of the season against South Milford. With a first team player reporting that no wicket had been cut, no holes for stumps made, an uncut outfield and no league umpires, the game was lost with South Milford reaching East Keswick’s total of 111 all out for the loss of just 5 wickets. This gave them promotion to Division 1 but no league title and left the question of whether there will be a team representing the 1st team in the top flight next season…
The 2nd team travelled to South Milford and amassed 268-6 with Ashley Richardson reaching 1000 runs for the season whilst making his third century of the season. Neil Chapman rolled back the years with a speedy 62 and Muhammad Kamran hit five huge sixes in making 36 not out. In reply East Keswick’s ten men made a good fist of trying to remove South Milford but failed at the last hurdle with just one wicket left when the overs ran out. This gave them 5 points and a chance of promotion had Saxton or Garforth slipped up in their remaining game. Unfortunately however they had both won leaving East Keswick an agonizing 4 points short of promotion into Division 5.

Division 2 - Champions Update
If both teams finish on an equal number of points then the Divisional championship will be shared. It is only when promotion & relegation are effected that tie-breakers are used.
End of Season Permutations
The first team need to win their final game of the season and hope Leeds Police lose theirs in order to ensure outright Division 2 Champions status. I’ve requested confirmation from the Wetherby League of how they intend to decide the winner if both teams are tied on both points scored and 6 point victories. I'll add the info if and when i receive it.
The second team need to win against South Milford (5 or 6 points) and hope that either/both Garforth PC and Saxton lose their games against Kippax Welfare and Amaranth respectively. A loss to South Milford would see South Milford promoted if Saxton were to lose against Amaranth.
Good luck to all concerned!

Week 21 - Results
Week 21 saw East Keswick's first team crash to defeat at second place Leeds Police. With Leeds Police making 176-8 East Keswick looked to have a good chance of winning the game, but this took a heavy blow early on as the team stumbled to 25-5, with only Mark Abram offering stiff resistance as he batted through to the 40th over leaving East Keswick 77 all out. The loss means that both Leeds Police are level at the top of Division 2 on points and equal in the tie breaker of the number of 6-point games won.
The second team, for the second week running, were left to field only nine men against bottom of the table Wighill Park. Losing the toss and batting first East Keswick A made 140 all out with Ashley Richardson once again coming to the rescue making a superb unbeaten 101 not out.
In reply Wighill Park were bowled out for 116 with Andy Barber producing career best figures of 14-3-30-6, Ashley Richardson 11-5-21-3 and skipper Andrew Hirst taking the final wicket of the game with the last ball of his first over.
The win still leaves East Keswick 'A' with an outside chance of promotion if they can win their last game against South Milford (away) and either Saxton or Garforth lose theirs.

Results - Week 20
East Keswick first team took one step closer to winning the 2nd Division title with a 150 run home victory over Old Leodiensians. The win meant that next weeks showdown with Leeds Police will be most likely the title decider of Division 2.
The second team suffered from only having 9 players in going down to Amaranth A, only to receive all 6 points due to Amaranth fielding an illegible player. This leaves East Keswick A with an outside chance of promotion if Garforth lose one of their last two games, and if East Kewsick win both of their remaining fixtures.
