Mexborough and District Cricket League
It has been claimed for the Mexborough and District Cricket League that it is one of the most important organisations of its kind in South Yorkshire.
There are a few enthusiasts who go further than that even, and declare that it is the most important league in the county.
Without in any way attempting to maintain the latter view, one must really admit that a very great deal of interest is taken in the competition, and that excellent cricket is played by the various teams.
Now that the Whitworth Challenge Cup had become the property of the League it is believed that even greater interest and enthusiasm will be shown in the matches by the public.
