Cricket
Cricket has been played in Pocklington since early times. The Grammar School has played the game back to the eighteenth century. The earliest reference found for Pocklington Cricket Club is in 1850. An earlier reference to cricket in Pocklington was found in 1843 (See below).

In the Barmby Moor section of the website is to be found a profile of a local cricketer Allan Siddall who was a farmer and professional cricketer in the last 20 years of the 19th century.
