From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Priestley Cup is a cricket cup competition contested by clubs in the Bradford Premier League . It is one of the most prestigious club competitions in English cricket and is widely reported by regional media.[ 1]
The Cup is named for Sir William Priestley , who was President of the Bradford Cricket League when the competition was founded and donated the silver trophy that continues to be presented to the victorious club.[ 2]
27 teams have won the competition, which celebrated its centenary in 2004. Undercliffe has been the most successful club with 13 wins up to 2008.
