On Sunday there was a full car to go to Sedbergh were Cumberland playing against Suffolk.There was myself, Bob Procter,Brian Senior and Peter Mann. It is a two hour journey from Leeds but worth it when you get there. It is situated in the school with a view of the mountain behind he wicket with the church in between.I feel it is the best scenic cricket ground in the North of England.
Cumberland batted first and soon lost two quick wickets but the sun was shining.Cumberland kept scoring at four runs a over. One of the Suffolk bowler was Finch who played in the Yorkshire Academy.Miles ,one of the openers, scored 59.
At lunch time we went to the town to have a excellent lunch.
We moved into the shade to watch the match in comfort.Ullah,the Morecambe professional, scored 58.It was left up to Thompson to push the score on to a good total. He scored 66 not out and after ninety overs Cumberland scored 354 for 9 . Full batting bonus points.
Suffolk finished at 68 for 3 with the sun still shining.
Bob first visit and was duly impressed.
