SUNNY SUNDAY

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

On a Sunny day I sent out with the family and Bob Procter to watch Colne play Lowerhouses. On the way going through Ilkley there had been accident which caused us to use the road on the other side of the river.

The ground is on left hand side of the road to M65 opposite a pub were we had lunch.
Lowerhouses were batting with the professional Aaron Heal taking control.He is Western Australian cricketer who also bowls left arm spin.The team scored 246 with Heal scoring his highest of the season 133.Colne professional was Anwar Ali who bowls right arm medium and took four wickets.

The pitch is a large area with sitting all round the ground. The pavilion was been wallpapered so most of the pictures were not on the wall.

Colne started to bat with the professional needing to score a big hundred however he could only reach fifty. A young lad called Finch took six wickets with Heals taking four.Colne were bowled out for 131 in 37.2 overs. This is why the are near the bottom of the league.

Heal looks a good professional who get bigger scores if he stopped playing the sweep and pull. His cover driving was excellent.
