Just a guess , but as dp59 was enquiring about the Sheffield Cricket league records then perhaps the league he or she was "on about" might have been the Sheffield Cricket League. Many years ago due to dwindling numbers the league amalgamated to become what I think became the Sheffield and Doncaster Alliance League . Sadly this league also folded. In 1987 Lee Hirst won the averages with 45.14 in the Sheffield Midweek league for Exchange. I think the Exchange cricket team may well have folded before the Sheffield League did. I do not know him personally but believe he was also a pro footballer and his dad was a well known and talented football player. I cannot answer if Lee's record still stands but Jake Weatherald managed 270 for Barnsley Woolley Miners in August 2022 in the Yorkshire south Premier cricket league.. As he has played for South Australia and Adelaide Strikers it is not surprising he can knock out so many runs at the nice but small Whiston PC ground.

I cannot remember Mr Mackay being called anything other than "Jock" however after so many years one's memories can be somewhat clouded. I do recall faking a note to be excused from PE as I was supposedly under the weather. I really wanted to listen to the test match on my trannie. In my youth trannie meant transistor radio but nowadays means something entirely different. After being excused I rather stupidly sprinted away and Jock summoned me back with the comment , " There's nothing wrong wi you laddie. Get your PE kit on. " Slasher was the nickname for Ken Mackay an Aussie cricketer.

I do not live there. The occupant tells me he has tried removing with white vinegar however the mould reappears. it is a bedroom window. Thanks everybody for the help and suggestions.

Are there any recommendations for a company that can cure recurring mould around a bedroom window please?

Good morning Steve. I think it might be Russell Davey who you have written about. Sadly both he and Ted Bear, mentioned in another post, passed away several years ago.

I remember Terry Parkin . Before he went to Intake sports club he was the steward at the AEU club on Stanley Street. I think he played football in the Sheffield and District midweek league for Central Thursday FC . I think he later married Pat Nolan's niece. Pat wa s then the AEU club secretary according to a previous post. When my dad used to take me into the AEU club I always remember Terry was and I hope still is a lovely man.

Try Securicom , Nick Fisher 0114 2477794 , he has done them for me.

Had the same email as alandrea0 stating unable to take payment for tv licence. Also had a call from a company named House Guard . They knew I had had cavity wall insulation installed a few years ago. They knew this because they have bought a list of people who had done so. They andI I are aware this has caused damp in some properties . The call came from a spoofed Sheffield number. House guard is in Bournemouth. they asked would I like their surveyor to inspect for damp. I agreed. he arrived and professed to be a surveyor NOT a salesman . " We are working with the government" he stated . The government is offering subsidies to rectify damp caused by cavity wall installations. I am aware that poorly or wrongly installed cavity insulation may cause damp. So the surveyor " not a salesman " gets out his little protimeter ( damp meter) and proceeds to tell me any reading above 5 and you have got damp. Well what a surprise the first reading in my living room was 15 . Second room 12. At this stage I told him I know there is some efflorescence on one of the external walls. Efflorescence is just the techical name for the white powdering deposits of salts on the outside of brickwork. He did not have clue what I meant when i mentioned efflorescence. Well he was kindhearted because he then phoned his office to find out it would cost me only £ 3000 to cure the rising damp I don't have and it was only £ 3000 as his company were getting a £ 1000 from the government to reduce the cost.

Hello Jim in Perth . Is there a chance the inscription on the cricket medal is N and D CL, rather than N and O CL. If so it may be from the now defunct Norton and District Cricket league.

Repair on either solar inverter or generation meter advice please. Solar panels, inverter and generation meter installed March 2011. Generated electricity not registering so don't know if it is inverter or meter failure. Electricity supplier states not their problem. Installer no longer trading , a fact which seems to be quite commonplace. Advice welcome

Is there anyone fancies a game of cricket tomorrow ? The start time is 1.30 . Players of any ability welcome.

Banner Cross garage , Murray Road S11. Big thumbs up to these young men who sorted out putting a new flex on my Kia Sportage. I had already had two other garages turn down the job as they thought they could cause more damage to the vehicle while repairing it because of the rusted connections. Another pleasant surprise was I had the opportunity to see the job before and after completion. I would heartily recommend them.

I ended up getting mine from Royston Glass in Barnsley. If my memory serves me well if you ring them with the required dimensions they will give you a quote and you might want to visit them to view the colour choice.

Midweek league cricket team desperately short of players for a league game tonight. Please contact me if you fancy a game of competetive cricket tonight 6.15 start. Long established but currently struggling team needs players. You might be a young lad or lass who fancies playing adult cricket or maybe you haven't played for years but fancy getting out the whites .

Thanks for the help. I have visited Handley Rose Nurseries and can heartily recommend anyone visiting there. They didn't have one there and it doesn't appear on their website. I thought someone might notice one in a local garden centre. Black pearl rose, also named Rosa Perle Noire, Delurt.

Anybody know where I can get hold of a Black Pearl rose plant from somewhere near Sheffield?

My sister who now lives in Canada has asked if I can get hold of any books about the history of Parkwood Springs. Any advice , recommendations or suggestions?

Is the bird wearing any jesses, anklets or any transmitter?

The Fargate branch used to be open into the early hours. I recall the days when clubs had to close at 2 a m. Wimpey was a regular calling spot after closing time to be greeted by a delightful West Indian lady. I think her name was Gloria and used to welcome us with " D'ya want a cup a tea love?" She was a bubbly character and I am sure many people of my age will remember her fondly.
