New season, new partnership! ✨

We’re proud to welcome Newsome's Funeral Directors (part of the Dignity network) as an official sponsor for the 2026 season.

A long-established and trusted part of our local community, Newsome’s provide compassionate, professional care to families during some of life’s most difficult moments. Their commitment to dignity, respect, and personal service is what makes them so highly regarded.

We’re incredibly grateful for their support of the club this year — it’s partnerships like this that help keep grassroots cricket thriving and our community strong. 👏

💛 Dying Matters Week 2026 💛

Dying Matters Week encourages us all to speak more openly about dying, death and grief - conversations that can be difficult, but are incredibly important. By talking, listening and sharing, we can help reduce fear and ensure people’s wishes are understood and respected.

At Newsome's, we’re proud to support Dying Matters Week and stand alongside organisations like Hospice UK and Barnsley Hospice who champion compassionate end of life care and support for people and families across the UK.

To learn more about Dying Matters Week and the vital work hospices do, visit www.hospiceuk.org. or www.barnsleyhospice.org

If you’d like to talk or have any questions, our team here in South Yorkshire is always here to listen.

We’re at Matalan, Park Gate, Rotherham today and tomorrow, with our funeral director Liz available for open, friendly discussions about funerals and funeral plans.

Liz supports families across our Wath and Mexborough funeral homes and is here to help with any questions you may have.

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy this glorious weather.

Today, Diane from our branch in Wombwell, dropped off some donations of tea, coffee and biscuits to St. Peter's Tankersley with St. Paul's Pilley for their coffee morning. Just a small gesture goes such a long way in our amazing communities. Thank you to Diane for her commitment and support and to the wonderful team at the church for hosting the coffee mornings ☺️

Today we were honoured to work alongside the horse‑drawn carriage company, whose beautifully turned‑out horses and immaculate carriage provided a truly dignified tribute. The sunshine made for a perfect day to give a very special person the send‑off they deserved.
A heartfelt thank you to Liz, our funeral director, for leading the funeral with her usual care and professionalism.
