Daffodils Wilts

Posted by Brian Sanderson.

On Thursday picked you Ron from the barbers and set off for the second day at Weetwood. Still the cold Westerly wind and sat by the daffodils.
John and Jenny had joined us and they had been to Stamford Bridge yesterday. Said Yorkshire struggled batting as the Lancashire side were much more experienced apart from Brophy.
Also sitting in the sunshine was Glyn Pearson. He worked for Yorkshire Bank and I have known him for 30 years. He is now umpiring in the Bradford League and other important matches. He looked well after his months holiday abroad.
Leeds and Bradford batted on till they were all out for 327 with Hawley reaching 105.
Cardiff started well and at lunch time they were 80 for2.
After lunch they bowled the two spinners Craddock and Hawley.They collapsed to 110. Craddock getting 5 for 30 and Hawley 3 for 21. I t must have been the arrival of Brian Senior.
Leeds and Bradford had a lead of 227 and asked Cardiff to bat again inorder to gain extra points.

The conversation had ranged from counting the planes into Yeadon airport, Yorkshire scores at Canterbury and which is the best mobile phone.
Cardiff receached 124 for 2. Leeds and Bradford got 18 points and Cardiff 4. So to tea.
