HAWORTH West End will be in regular use for cricket again this season.

The Penistone Hill club's facilities will be used on alternate weekends by Mewies Solicitors Craven League third teams from Bingley Congs and Oakworth, who have both left Bronte Fields.

Oakworth Thirds have used Bronte Fields since 2006, apart from a three-year spell at Carleton when the changing rooms at Bronte were being redeveloped.

Congs, meanwhile, only formed their third team last year.

Haworth West End's second team folded in 2014 and their first team the following year, but the ground has been used since.

Aire-Wharfe League club Olicanian's second team played there early last season after their own ground was hit by the 2015 Boxing Day floods, while Oakworth Thirds have used the ground once a season for the past two years.

Oakworth spokesman Michael Davison said: “Oakworth Cricket Club are delighted to confirm that they are looking forward to playing their third-team fixtures on Haworth West End’s former ground at Penistone Hill from the 2017 season.

"We are pleased to be able to work with and support the trustees of the West End club in maintaining cricket at Penistone Hill, together with our colleagues from Bingley Congs Cricket Club, who will also be playing at Penistone.”

Congs secretary and third-team skipper Graeme Love said: "Last year was a new adventure in itself in forming the third team.

"This season presents a new adventure with a new home ground. We thank Oakworth Juniors and Bradford Council for their hard work over the course of 2016 and look forward to a new season and a new ground.

"We are thankful for Haworth West End allowing us use of their ground. We (as a third team) built many memories at Bronte Fields. Let’s hope they continue into 2017."

A cycling club and a running club also use West End's clubhouse.
