In this episode of our official podcast, we unveil a brand new segment: 'Champagne Moments.' This exciting addition takes us on a nostalgic journey through the annals of local cricket history, shining a spotlight on memorable matches and campaigns that have left an indelible mark on our beloved clubs.

For our inaugural feature episode, we're delving deep into the archives to revisit a momentous occasion for Golcar Cricket Club – the 2009 Sykes Cup Final. It was a clash to remember as Golcar faced off against heavyweights Elland.

Led by charismatic skipper Ash Pamment, who shares his memories of that campaign with us, Golcar showcased their mettle on the field, delivering a performance that would go down in club folklore. Also joining us on the show are CHCCpod regular co-host Steve Whitwam and Craig 'Jack' Horner, each offering their unique insights and anecdotes from that historic day.

But it's not just about celebrating the victors; we're privileged to hear from the other side of the pitch as well. Ryan Robinson graciously shared his perspective as an Elland player, providing a glimpse into the efforts of the defeated team amidst the exhilarating atmosphere of the final showdown.

A standout moment of the match was undoubtedly 'Jack' Horner's stellar batting performance, earning him the coveted man of the match award. His remarkable feat ensured that Golcar lifted the Sykes Cup for the first time in their history, a triumph decades in the making since their last appearance in 1963.

As we bask in the glory of Golcar's victory, we extend an invitation to all cricket clubs to be part of our 'Champagne Moments' segment. If your club has a special match or campaign that deserves to be commemorated, simply reach out to us via our podcast page. Let's celebrate the rich tapestry of local cricket together, one champagne moment at a time.
