Westmorland Association
The Westmorland branch of the Association of British Counties
I notice Cumberland County Cricket Club is not listed. As a keen follower of the game, I have taken an interest in the team this season. Looking at their own website, it appears the team was reformed shortly after the War as Cumberland and Westmorland but had to restrict its playing name to Cumberland when joining the Minor Counties Cricket Association in the mid 50’s due to the ruling that a team could only represent one County and Cumberland was preferred. Having flown the flag at their four home matches this season and attracted quizzical enquiries, I asked the team manager if the team was prepared to be seen with the Westmorland flag as acknowledgement of their roots. They were pleased to do so and were extremely professional in their handling of the ‘photo call’. I’m confident that they would welcome the opportunity, if asked, to register the club on this site.
