Kelfield's final game of the season was also the end of a long innings with the club for Steve Schofield and his wife Katie.

The Riccall couple are leaving England to start a new life in Montenegro running a holiday letting business.

Steve, a miner at Selby until a year ago, has played for Kelfield for 18 years as opening medium pace bowler and number four batsman. He was captain for a year and has been vice-captain for six years as well as being the groundsman.

Katie has worked as scorer and making teas at Kelfield 12 years.

Their final game saw Kelfield crush an understrength York side by 139 runs. Phil Smith (78) and Andy Charlton (78no) were Kelfield's top scorers in 259-9, while Schofield was the pick of their bowling attack.
