Another heavy defeat.

Posted by Brian Sanderson.

Another sunny day and set off with Ron to York. Yorkshire Seconds were playing Warwickshire Seconds in a fifty over match.When we arrived we saw Molly but there were no scorecards for the match.Joe Sayers had become ill overnight and Gary Ballance was sent over to Manchester for the first team match.I heard that Kirkstall and won yesterday but with a very tight finish. Rawdon should have won.

Warwick won the toss and batted. The two opening batsmen were Ord and Newport. Ord plays for Loughborough University and had seen him earlier and Newport was the son Philip who had played for Worcestershire.I sat with Andy and Richard from York near the scoreboard in the shade.You could see the new pavilion built over the winter.
Walking round the ground I saw John and Jenny who had a few days in Scarborough. Gilbert who is on the Cumberland Committee.

Warwick batted well and scored three hundred and five with Ord scoring ninety runs.Excellent total.

Yorkhire started with Joe Root and Calum Geldart but were soon in trouble by losing wickets. The Yorkshire batting side was not strong enough and the Warwick bowling was good.Highest scorer was Joe Root in the forties.
The match finished at five fifteen with ten overs still to bowl. Not good enough by Yorkshire.However there is still to-morrow against the same side.
