IT IS TUESDAY MUST BE BARNSLEY

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

On a sunny Tuesday morning I picked Ron up and set off down the M1 to Barnsley.The ground is called Shaw Lane and is situated just off the Manchester Road.It takes about 40 minutes from Horsforth.
The pitch is situated between two schools which can be noisy at playtime.The pavilion is a muti sport building .

The match was the first day between Yorkshire Seconds and Leicestershire seconds.We are hoping Yorkshire would be better than yesterday.It was very hot so we took shade under some trees.There was a good turnout of supporter but there should be in this excellent weather.

Leicestershire won the toss and decided to bat.We were joined by Bob Procter about lunchtime.At this time New was batting very well and looks a class above any Yorkshire player.In the Yorkshire side Jack Hughes was brought in for Alex Lees . Also Ashraf played instead of Blain.Rafiq took the captaincy.

New proceed to get his hundred and had been joined by A.Rashid who is the younger brother of the Yorkshire player.

We left at tea-time with Leicestershire 254 for 6.I was playing snooker at 7.30.
