We’re back for another Huddersfield Cricket League takedown and another brilliant guest was in tow. Dom Finn joined us from Broad Oak CC. One of the Premiership’s most consistent performers with the bat, although in a dry, self-effacing style he admitted he’s looking forward to the season starting, from his personal perspective!
Dom took us on his career retrospective, starting at Lightcliffe and forged in an Elland team, studded with quality. A short hiatus later, he spent the last decade at Broad Oak, being a losing T20 and Sykes Cup finalist before achieving a major goal in life as a Sykes Cup winner in 2023. Dom was in great form as he took on our Career Quiz In One Minute, so see how he gets on (big thanks to Dom’s brother Alastair Finn and Oak skipper Dan Rushworth for some of the Q’s!). We loved Dom a lot so you’ll no doubt see him pop up with us more regularly as well as his popular Friday Night Rain Card Forecast which you can find on Dom’s Insta / FB accounts.
There were loads to discuss in this bumper episode. Have Moorlands turned a corner? Is the format of the T20 Trophy right or does it need further modification? And if Steve Whitwam is the Don Corleone of our podcast, what does that make Jacob?
Finally, we heard from the lovely Lauren Dalby who helped put on an all day cricket marathon for young cricketer Fred at Mirfield CC. Fred has recently been diagnosed with leukaemia so a fundraiser took place on 21st June in aid of his family. Lauren filled us in with how the day went and where you can continue to donate. Follow the link below to add to Fred’s fundraiser and help a young boy’s family cope with such a shocking condition.
