The Formation

The Almondbury Casuals was first formed in apparently 1949 A.D. in the Wool Pack Hotel, Almondbury, Huddersfield by a group of boozed up chaps who had run out of conversation.

Thus from this humble beginning was born a Cricket Club which over the next 37 years has by dint of honest endeavour advanced not a bit, but remains the glorious shambles that it is today. Nevertheless a team has turned out regularly on every Sunday in the summer made up of essentially modest players who have alot of modest about. However it can be said that our playing record shows that over the years we have won at least half our matches though no one seems to know how, not at least the oppositions.
