WOODHOUSE Grange open their Black Sheep Yorkshire Champions Trophy campaign at Thackley on Sunday.

Grange, the reigning Hunters York & District Senior Cricket League premier division champions, will take on the Aire-Wharfe League title holders in a 50-overs-per-side game starting at 1pm.

The Champions Trophy sees the winners of the county’s top eight leagues battle it out in the Black Sheep-backed competition.

Woodhouse Grange secretary David Farmer said: “Although Woodhouse may be slightly under-cooked having not bowled a ball for three consecutive waterlogged weekends, they will be fielding a strong team and look to represent the area to the best of their ability.”

Sutton-on-Derwent-based Grange have seen their opening two league games washed out, along with a President’s Trophy clash with Sessay.
