Seven members of the Tinsley family covering three generations took part in a match to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Bradford Evening League club John Breare Printers.

The match at Windhill, involving past and present teams, was followed by a buffet and disco in the clubhouse.

The oldest member of the family taking part was 74-year-old Roy, who bowled an over and was also one of the umpires.

The family firm is run by Roy's sons Steve and Gary, and Steve said: "We enjoyed the occasion. Everyone batted and bowled and a lot of players we hadn't see for 15 or 20 years turned up. It was a very successful evening with more than 100 people there.

"This is the first season Roy has not played in the Evening League, but he wanted to play a part in the anniversary match."

Steve added: "There were three generations taking part on two sides of the family.

"Apart from Roy, Gary and myself, there was also my son Matthew and, on the other side of the family, there was Roy's brother Dave, his son Kevin and Kevin's son Marcus."

Steve and Gary are among five who have played since 1977. The others are Pete Kershaw, Andy Simpson and Dave Kershaw.

The club began life as Westmyer CC playing friendlies. They started playing as John Breare in 1979 and played at Highbury in Leeds and Tong Park before establishing themselves at Windhill from 1986.
