PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
YORKSHIRE COUNTY CRICKET CLUB'S CONSECUTIVE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS (19 October 2015)

That this House congratulates Yorkshire County Cricket Club on successfully retaining the County Championship as they did on 9 September 2015; notes that this is the Headingley-based club's first consecutive County Championships win since 1968; further notes the latest title was won unbeaten, 11.5 days of cricket early and and despite the club losing six players at various stages to England; further congratulates the club on having lost just three of 61 games since Jason Gillespie's arrival before the 2012 season; congratulates Jonny Bairstow on winning both the player and player's player of the year awards and also Jack Leaning on being awarded the club's young player of the year; congratulates Ryan Sidebottom on passing the 700 first-class wickets milestone; feels the club is well-placed to win a hat-trick of championships as the club's director of cricket Martyn Moxon has called for; believes the club can go on to challenge the 1960s team that won seven titles in nine years; and congratulates the club once more and wishes it further success over the years to come.
