Upperthong
The Cricketers, Netherthong with, sadly, a boules pitch in a poor state of repair. If anyone is interested in rugby union, a visit to the cricketers during a six nations game is interesting. Full of men of a certain age (their rugby days well behind them), creating a lot of noise, eating pies and generally making beasts of themselves. I couldn't get a seat and gradually was moved to the end of the bar by a series of guys forever buying more beer.
Honley rec and cricket club with its iconic pavilion. Proceeds from 'It's not Lord's' have made a small contribution to the restoration (clic to read more)
Neiley playing fields, Honley. Home to Holmfirth Harriers
One of the few things I've won - the 5 mile handicap. I got 20 minutes and set off last. Arrived 19 minutes and 59 seconds behind the winner. He was an elite runner with a nice line in snearing, as were most of the elites. Late 1980s.
