THREE MATCHES IN ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

After a telephone call from Brian Senior I set off to Glen Road about one and half miles from home.It was a match between two side from Yorkshire Post.Ian from Lancaster was a sit in front of a hedge watching cricket. He said this was the only new ground he had watch cricket for this season.This is astonishing fact as he watches cricket every day of the season.

It was forty over match between two sides from The Yorkshire Post and music also.When I arrive a women was bowling lob balls to the batsmen.After a few minutes later Brian Senior turn up to watch the first match.The first side reached 184 in forty overs when the final batsman was caught near the boundary.

Moving on to Harewood were there was The Northern Game Show was on. The match was St. Georges Church against Cookeridge Hospital.This was also a forty over match with Cookeridge batting first.Behind the cricket ground a helicopter was taking off every ten minutes.It did not seem to bother the batsmen who reached 139 in the final over. Steve Bindman managed to get three wickets in his four overs. He is a very keen cricketer who players for numerous clubs through the season.He also bowls lob bowls.
The final batsman was a lady who did not manage to score. Mick Bourne turn up after been delayed due to problems at home.

We moved on to our third match three miles away at Arthington who were playing the Jesters.They had scored 268 in forty overs.Mc Eneaney had scored 72. He plays for Blubberhouses and had a batting average last season of 94.35 scoring 1604 runs.He also bowls with average of 12.89 however he was wicket-keeping to-day.Tony Hutton was there with Brian Cobb and Harry.Also there was Nigel Pullan together with Mick from Idle.

After a cup of tea Arthington starting batting and were never going to reach the total.They lost wickets consistency without scoring enough runs. When we left they were 65 for 6 with only 8 over to bowl.

A cold day but good to see three matches at the end of September.
