Ossett Cricket

Raising the profile of the club as a community and schools sport oriented organisation is rapidly gaining the support of prominent local businesses.

Since the latter stages of last season, significant effort has been put into encouraging financial commitment from a broad spectrum of commercial sponsors. That campaign and the work that has gone into presenting a professional business case, is now starting to pay dividends, which needless to say results in an increasingly positive outlook for Ossett Cricket.

Towards the end of last year we took the opportunity to introduce these sponsors on the website with a write-up as their signage goes up around the ground at Dimple Wells and their banners are posted on http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/ossettcc/ . This hopefully will give greater insight into what these cricket committed organisations actually do for a living, it may even result in an early opportunity to do some business between interested parties. Let’s just call it networking!

In this week’s sponsor profile we feature Barracuda Fisheries.

Most of us still look fondly on fish & chips as one of the tastiest dishes around, yes they are an essential and nutritious part of our British culinary heritage, and if they are done well, still the best fast food on the planet. And it has to be said that Barracuda Fisheries cook this pure Union Jack dish to a tee.

That is the first item of good news, the second being that the Barracuda shop is less than 800 yards away from Ossett Cricket. Ideal whether you’re on the way home after a big win or in need of a brunch having skipped breakfast, you might even order in advance. Could this lead to a smartphone app we ask? However rather than wait for that starburst of technology, you can always phone 01924 276326 or amble down to 5, Horbury Road, Ossett, West Yorkshire WF5 0BL.

It comes highly recommended that you always keep these details handy, for should the personal stomach be rumbling or the noise coming from several at once and just in case you have an outside catering sized requirement; Barracuda Fisheries can deal with all three.
