Last Match for University

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

I was driving to Weetwood on Friday morning in cloudy weather when it started to rain.
Last night Durham had been bowled out for 311 and Leeds were 2 for 0.The rain lasted about an hour but they could expand play by this amount.

Lunch to-day was one o,clock with Leeds losing a wicket. That was David Clarke who,s father I was sitting next to. He had travelled up from Peterborough to watch his son so he was very disappointed.There was a cold North wind blowing again which was a big contrast to yesterday.

During the afternoon Leeds kept losing wickets mainly due to Dan Gale who is a very good left arm spinner.He had taken over 100 wickets for Durham in the three years he had been at the University. I understand he is contracted to Derby. Might be a person to watch out for.

At about five fifteen Leeds were bowled out for 169. Disappointing performance which meant Leeds would not go to the final. However Durham won the Championship, Well done.
