History

Recent History

Since 2005, YPCC has undergone something of a revival. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Mark Stelfox and Will Clifton, the club has improved on and off the field. In 2007 and 2008 the club played a total of 28 matches and lost only 2 matches. In 2008, the club won the John Dews 20 over competition, thrashing Ledsham by 70 runs in the final. The combination of weaker friendlies and increasing strength of YPCC meant a new challenge was needed.

2009 and League Cricket

YPCC decided to approach several Leagues in the autumn of 2008 in an attempt to increase the standard of opposition they played. After several discussions, YPCC were accepted into the Leeds West Riding League in Jan 2009. The League was due to disband in 2009 but the Committee of YPCC felt it was a suitable stepping stone towards long term League Cricket. The initial plan had been to test the water in one of the lower divisions and assess later in 2009 whether the League Cricket experiment had worked. As it turned out, the LWRCL had decide to promote YPCC to Division 1 in a re-structure League format. A friendly side was therefore thrust into a highly competitive league with clubs with greater facilities and 3 sides.
