Royal Wedding Day crisis
Posted by Tony Hutton
Following several conversations at Headingley yesterday I have become aware of the large number of professional cricket watchers who are worried about the lack of cricket on Friday 29th April - the Royal Wedding bank holiday.
After initially suggesting that they might have to travel to Lancashire, for the Lancashire 2nd XI game with the Cheshire Development XI at Westhoughton, my further researches suggest that relief is at hand much nearer to home.
Leeds/Bradford University will be entertaining Oxford University at Weetwood, Leeds that day with a 12.30 start for a one day BUCS championship match. This will be followed by a two day game on Saturday and Sunday.
For those willing to travel a little further afield to escape the festivities, it will be day 3 of the game between Durham University and Yorkshire at the Racecourse Ground, Durham and day 4 of the Notts v Worcester game at Trent Bridge.
If all else fails, particularly for Lancastrians, Lancaster Royal Grammar School will be playing MCC at the lovely school ground, just below the Williamson Memorial in Lancaster.
