Sir Garry Sobers Masters, 2009
Yorkshire sent a team out to Barbados for the first time to play in the 15th Sir Garry Sobers Masters Cricket Festival and won the tournament on run rate from Warwickshire.
The Yorkshire over-50s team included four York Senior League players John Flintoff of Sessay and Mick Kenyon of Dringhouses (both pictured above), along with Richard Sykes (Acomb) and Trevor Walton (Heworth). Each of the British teams played five games against local Barbados sides and the competion was run on a league basis. Yorkshire finished level with Warwickshire on 2 wins but won on a better scoring rate. Two games were won easily, two lost in the last over, and our 20/20 under lights was our heaviest defeat to a very strong Carlton side, the eventual winners of the Barbados sides comp.
Rich Sykes was one of the top run scorers with Mick Kenyon being one of the best bowlers. A UK select X1 was picked to play the Barbados Legends at Kensington Oval and John Flintoff, Mick Kenyon and Tommy Stafford were all chosen from Yorkshire. UK batted first in a 30 over game and made 160-5, Flintoff (50 ret.) and Olly Gravell (31no) being top scorers. Barbados got the runs in the last over for 4 wickets despite a superb spell from Kenyon of 6-1-12-1 on a very flat hard pitch.
A superb holiday was finished with a presentation to the winning Captains, a celebration in the bar and a vow to return sometime in the future to play cricket again in paradise!
