Rudolph and Rodley

Posted by Brian Senior

Saturday 24 April

By bus to Baildon CC, then another bus to Shipley for Saltaire v Farsley. Roberts Park, home of Saltaire, is set to undergo a major £4m facelift - exciting times. Also saw some of Shipley Providence v Rodley at Salts in the Dales Council. They've done a good job on the ground. Then to Heaton for the game against Buttershaw St. Paul's in the Bradford Mutual Sunday School Cricket League. Only one umpire and he earned himself £22 plus the other £22 that had been earmarked for the umpire who didn't appear. Five balls landed in the river.

Sunday 25 April

A Black Sheep Champions Trophy tie between Woodlands, of the Bradford League, and York at East Bierley.

Monday 26 April

Blank day I'm afraid - most disappointing.

Tuesday 27 April

To Headingley for the post-afternoon sessions. Rudolph and McGrath both get centuries against county champions Durham.

Wednesday 28 April

Headingley again for the Yorkshire-Durham game with Rudolph and McGrath resuming. Then a bus to Weetwood for Leeds University 1st XI v Birmingham University and the 2nd XI v Newcastle University. Then to New Rover for Leeds Met v Loughborough University. Then back to Headingley for the start of the Durham innings. Finished the day at Kirkstall Eddies - Leeds Met Ladies v Loughborough University. But not many spectators present unfortunately. Ended up at the Hospital Radio fundraising quiz at the Leeds Rhino Supporters Club - a very jolly affair indeed.
