WHERE DID YOU GO YESTERDAY?

Posted by Brian Sabnderson.

On Sunday morning I phoned Andrew in London. During the week he went to Whitgift School to watch Surrey v Worcs. He said it was a pleasent ground but the pitch was in bowl and spectators were along way from the players.He disliked the Surrey supporters and the beer was flat. He was coming to Headingley on Tueday morning to see the Durham match.
Next Peter Mann rang about a lift to East Bierley to see the Black Sheep Final between Woodland and York.The match was delayed from last Season.Peter is Burley supporter who went to North Leeds yesterday.He was joined by Ken Hickin from Blackpool. He had caught the 9.30 train and would arrive back in Blackpool at 10,O clock at night.Ken travels all over North of England by public transport .

Woodlands was captain by Brice as Swanepoel was still in South Africa.
The first person I meet was David from Brighouse. He had been to watch Pudsey St Lawrence on Saturday.Next person was Bob Procter who went on Saturday to Tadcaster to watch his grandson play.
York won the toss and fielded.Bartram and Groves bowled well and had Woodlands 79 for 6.
Tony Hutton had arrived and told me agbout his travels to Lancashire on Saturday and then Brian Senior arrived. His trip on Saturday started at Baildon after a two hour journey and finished at Salts.
It started to rain and Tony left.Brian went to the tea tent again.
The match was reduced to 44 overs and Woodlands reached 141 with Brice 39 not out.
After tea we were joined by Ken Lawson who is the Grandfather of Mark. Mark is a leg spinner who was released by Yorkshire and Derby. He now plays for Kent and was due to replace Tredwell who was going to the World Cup.However he was involved in a car crash yesterday. He has whiplash and a sore back so would not be able to play for two weeks.
Ahmed bowled well and had figures of 14 for 2 in 9 overs.Mason reached 52.
We left at 5.30 to get back for tea.
York won by 4 wickets in 37.4 overs.
