Hi i have read this artical with much interest , and sorry cannot help with the request , but wondered if anyone could help me ? having found my gtgtgrandfathers obituary in the local newspaper of the time , it states he was a keen cricketer who a couple of seasons before his death captained Denaby and Cadeby cricket team when they won the SOUTH YORKSHIRE LEAGUE championship , can anyone help me track down the event his name was William Henry Cooke and he was killed in 1914

                   thanks for any suggestions

Dear Gah

I cannot find the early archives for the South Yorkshire League anywhere on the Web. 

I can only suggest that you may wish to telephone Doncaster Library, Local Studies  Department.    They hold the archives of the South Yorkshire Times back to 1877, and you may wish to enquire whether this archive includes sporting issues. 

I live outside Yorkshire now and so I have not as yet visited the archive, which is why I suggest a phone call before you travel.

Good luck.  I hope that you find news of your ancestor.

Geoff
