As the sun was shining I took the family to Ilkley to see the Olicanian Cricket Festival.As I arrived I noticed Ian from Lancaster watching from his red car.It was a U 17 20/20 Competition.Bardsey had been bowled out for 60 and Olicanians won the match by nine wickets with ten overs to spare.
The next match was Bardsey against a under 14 local area cricketers.One of Bardsey players was James Wainman who is a fast bowler for the Yorkshire Academy.He was wicket keeping for the first eleven overs and then bowled off ten paces.The under 14 side got to 130 in the twenty overs.
At half time I wandered over to the Ilkley ground were I found them playing Follifoot third team played in Conference B match which had been rearranged.Follifot had won the cup yesterday by beating Guiseley easily.In the forty overs they scored 166. Ilkley were leading the League with Follifoot second so it was a vital match.
Back at Olicanian ground Bardsey were batting with Wainman opening the batting. He managed to score 35 but the team were about 40 runs short.
A excellent ground with good views of Ilkley Moor and the vsun was shining.
