I started playing at Adwalton in 1966 and played in the cup final against David Bairstow and Kanny Hibbet ( ex Bradford Park ave & Wolves). We lost !!

I won the Bradford Central league 2nd Division batting averages that year playing alongside Ray Andrews, Jack Horrocks and John Severn-Ellis amongst others. Loved it ! !

I then moved on to play for Spen Victoria and East Bierley but had promised Eddie Foley & Jimmy Gamble that I would go back some day. True to my word I did before retiring and I played with great league players - Paul Bennett, Ian Lindley, Stuart Donohoe, Simon Bagnell, Ian Wilson & others, including Gerry Mytton one of the best I had played with apart from the very best in Peter Gamble ( who I played with at Drighlington).

I went on to Captain Adwalton to promotion and to the Semi final of the Waddilove cup, we were a good Bradford Central league side.

I also got to tour India with the England disabled Xl which was made possible by all the players, members and friends from Adwalton sponsoring and fund raising to make it happen. I will be eternally grateful and my shirt from the tour hangs in the Adwalton clubhouse.
I still go up to the club to watch and support my Young-Un Angela play rounders and hope that my friendships at Adwalton never fail and look forward to seeing everyone again later this year Richard, Jim, Dave Sadler ( Covid permitting).

Love to all.
Stuart Jackson.

Ps. Someone get Baggers to leave me a pint on behind the bar as he never did whilst I was playing !
