Junior Cricket

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

After doing some shopping I picked Brian Senior up and set out for Silcotes School.It is situated in Wrenthorpe.The match was Yorkshire under 14 against the school.It was a fifty over match and Yorkshire were batting. The pitch is situated at the front of the school and is good view over Wakefield. David Thorpe arrived as he knew one of the boys who were playing for the school.Wickets fell consistantly and they went for lunch at twelve fifty with the score 130 for 6 in thirty four overs.

We moved on to Lascelles Hall via a pub meal.The match here was Huddersfield under thirteen against Wakefield in a thirty over match. The ground is one of the oldest ground in Yorkshire and produced the stars of early Yorkshire players.It has brilliant views over the valley.Huddersfield were batting put very slowly.One of the fathers was Chris Payne who played at the Masham match on Wednesday. He confirmed Yorkshire won the match.

Huddersfield scored 123 in the thirty overs. We left when Wakefield were twenty for two due to a number of wides.

Nice sunny day with grounds with good views.
