MIRFIELD Parish Cavaliers will be going 100 per cent to create a Sykes Cup shock tomorrow.
The Championship newcomers face Premiership Golcar in the first round at home and certainly won’t be overawed.
Fresh from knocking Scholes out of the Heavy Woollen Cup, Parish are in confident mood – and rightly so.
Since joining the Drakes rankings, they have lost only one league game and they’ve posted wins against Rastrick and Elland so far this season – both strongly fancied to challenge for promotion.
Skipper Tim Orrell – who was on Lancashire’s books and became a legend at Woodlands in the Bradford League – is keen to see Parish progress, but he is also keeping feet firmly on the ground.
“Golcar will be another test for us, but we’ve just got to play the game and see what turns out – it’s 11 cricketers v 11 cricketers at the end of the day,” said the in-form opening bat, who will be 50 in November.
“We are the underdogs but this is good experience for us and that’s what we are aiming to gain.
“We wouldn’t profess we are going to knock them out, but we are certainly going to give it 100%”
That’s the attitude which paid off against Scholes at Chapelgate and which will also underpin their Jedi Sports Championship campaign.
Parish posted 246-8 against James Noble’s Netherton Con C free.
