Long Monday

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

On Monday I woke up to sunshine.Had to go shopping before the Yorkshire Second s v Leicestershire Seconds in the 50 Trophy match which started at 11 o, clock.Confirmed that Kirkstall won yesterday against Guiseley.


Leicestershire won the toss and batted.Saw Andy who had recovered from his food poisioning and started watching from the Rugby Stand end.Soon the openers were out. Cobb and New put a good stand together.Moved over to the sunnier side to see Ian from Lancaster.He confirmed that M.C.C won at Skipton.

Talked about different grounds in Westmoreland were I and had not visited.Cobb and New put on a stand of 121 with the Yorkshire bowling not looking threating.Leicester reached 255 FOR 6.This should prove to much for a weak Yorkshire batting side.

After lunch Yorkshire were 3 for 11 with Malik getting two wickets cheaply.Yorkshire collapsed to 101 all out. The worst defeat in their second team Trophy history.

Mick Bourne picked me up out side Headingley and went to Huddersfield University.
Brian Close was opening the Cricket Book Archive,Met Peter Davies and Brian Senior outside the University.

Brian Close had just come out of hospital and was good to see him.After a few red wines he told a number of his stories. Mick give us a lift home and arrived at 10.30.
A long day but enjoyable.
