Clayton Cricket Club: Demolition Day
The big day finally arrived for Clayton Cricket Club when the old clubhouse was to be demolished to make way for a brand spanking new one. It's amazing, you ask for volunteers to do the teas on a Saturday afternoon and everyone's got a cast iron excuse but ask for volunteers to demolish the clubhouse and everyone's there at 7:30am on a drizzly October Saturday morning with a lump hammer in their hand, raring to get on with it!
I was asked to record the historic event (and the subsequent building work) for posterity and I have to say, it was a right laugh! Health and safety wasn't exactly top of the agenda but everyone got stuck in and the job was finished by 11:00am.
I've included a collection of images below but the full set can be seen on the club website:

Sports Photography: Howard's Last Innings, 4th September 2010
Clayton's 1st XI's crucial last game of the season & Howard's last game of his career.
After a long and illustrious playing career with (mainly) Clayton CC, 1st XI captain, Howard Stead has finally decided to call it a day.
The final game of the season, away at Southowram, was a bit of a cliffhanger with both teams fighting to avoid relegation.
Howard was determined to go out on a high and that's exactly what he did, scoring 83 runs before being caught out, and playing the pivotal role in ensuring Clayton won the day and avoided the drop.
In the thick of the action, as always!
So that'll be another 4, then!
The last ball of a very long career!
No looking back, eh?
