BOURNE GOES CONKERS.

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

After a number of telephone calls myself and Mick Bourne set off to pick up David Thorp and Peter Davies.The weather forecast said it would become fine in the afternoon. It had rained all night and morning. We were going to see some matches in the Central Huddersfield League.

The rain was still however when we arrived Old Almondburians they were batting against Calder Grove.Calder Grove had reached five points for the season and would be relegated.We watched six overs when the rain returned. No wickets had fallen and Mick decided to try and find some conkers for the young children.He was in luck and was given a cup of tea from Peter.

We decided to see if we could see some cricket elsewhere.The first ground was Woodfield Park were a wicket had been cut but nobody was about. We walked across the ground were we could see Armitage Bridge ground however we could not get through the fence.

We went passed The Monkey Club to the Armitage ground. They are in the Huddersfield League. David played numerous occasions and said it was a slow wicket. They had finished their season yesterday.

Moving up the hill to Almondbury West who were playing Cumberworth.There was no play due to rain and Cumberworth were 38 for 3.They were lending the league by one point from Almondbury.We could see a rainbow in the distance however the rain kept falling. The match was abandon with Cumberworth winning the League.

End of the Leagues for 2010 but there is still Arthington.
