WAS THE JOURNEY REALLY NECESSARY

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

This morning I set off to Scarborough with Ron Stansfield. The A64 road had cones out for the Leeds Festival and will be closed to-morrow.Taking a short cut passed Pickering we found the road closed so we had to go back to the A64 so losing 15 minutes.

On arriving Hampshire were batting after Yorkshire had scored 322 yesterday.The wicket seemed batsman friendly however Pyrah forced Carberry to give Mc Grath a catch at second slip.

After lunch Hampshire lost two more wickets and Vince came into bat.During this time I had a chance to talk to Ted Lester,ex Yorkshire player, about Horace Fisher photographs in order to try and find some names to the faces.

Yorkshire fielding was poor apart from a excellent effort from Pyrah.Adams and Vince put on a 215 run stand with Vince scoring his maiden century. He is only nineteen years old.Hampshire were 45 runs ahead at the end of the day.

On the way back we ran into a traffic Jam on the York ring road so we had to do a detour via Wetherby.

So overall not a very successful day but met Andrew and Colin from London and the weather was fine.
