The charity cricket match took place between Addingham Village Social Club (AVSC) and Ilkley Bowling Club (IBC) on Sunday, 17 August 2025 at Addingham Cricket Club on Ilkley Road.
The event was part of a series of home and away matches between the two clubs, with proceeds going to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Despite strong efforts from both sides, Ilkley Bowling Club won the match, taking home the trophy once again.
The previous leg of the series, played at Ilkley in July, had ended in a draw due to rain.
However, the event raised £1,665 for The Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
A spokesperson for Addingham Village Social Club took to Facebook to say:
"Well done to everyone involved in the charity cricket matches home and away.
"Unfortunately it wasn't to be for AVSC , with IBC taking home the trophy again.
"Special thanks to all those whom organised it, the sponsors and to Addingham Cricket Club for running the bar and BBQ at our last match".
The event was open to the community and included a barbecue, a bar, a tombola, and a stall run by the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance is a vital regional charity providing emergency medical services.
