I used to be a team member of Guiseley Cricket Club's sports quiz team back in the 90s.
We got to the final about 5 years running but only managed to win 1.
We lost by a point one year and two points another.
Eagle Star usually won but they were far more committed than we were.
Gary McAllister presented the prizes one year, he was a very decent bloke.

Didn't manage to see any footy as the Warwicks v Yorkshire game carried on till around 5pm, at which point they came off for bad light. They seemed to be trying to set up a finish, but IMO Yorkshire cooked their own goose by delaying the declaration too long. 310 of 90 overs would have forced Warwicks to go for it: as it was they were able to take the draw knowing that two wins from the last two will seal the County Championship.

The Moors lost again, though, 1-2 to second-bottom Hinckley. Played 6 Lost 6. Maybe I've put the hex on them!

It finished Askern Villa 0-1 Rossington Main in the big NCEL Doncastrian Derby

Rossington were much the better side, and probably would have romped away with it had an early goal not been wrongly ruled out for offside (Square ball for a man behind the player crossing it in. I was stood right behind the linesman's arm too, my yell of \"How on earth is that offside?\" was greeted with the explanatory reply of \"No, no, no, no\" from the official).

The referee added to the perculiar officialing late in the game when he failed to spot a blatant tug back on a Rossington player breaking through on goal, but was somehow eagle-eyed enough to see the white edges of the Rossington sub's cycling shorts just poking beyond the white trim of the Main kit. The ref duly made the player go over to the sidelines and take them off. Its not often you see players getting stark-naked from the waist down on the sidelines whilst the game carries on beside them. (Insert 'fingers crossed for the Belles game' joke here).

Anyway in the end Rossington couldn't add to their tally and ended up hanging on a bit at the end. Friendly club Askern, but a poor quality surface for that level of football.
