SHOWER AT WEETWOOD

By Brian Sanderson,

It was the second day at Weetwood with Leeds and Bradford University batting.The weather to-day was cloudy and windy.When I arrived Ian from Lancaster had arrived after setting off at 8.30 . He was planning to go to a football on the way back.
It was good to see Jenny there and had been to a match at Headingley on Saturday involveing the Academy.No-body knew about this match apart from Jenny and the parents.
Tony Hutton had arrived ealier to collect a upto date print out from Howard Clayton.

We were joined by John Winn ,the new blogger on the site.Tony due him from a train journey from Durham after the cricket.

The ball was dominating the batsman and it was slow going.Brian Senior arrived arriving at the far-side of the ground.David Thorp arrived from Golcar and so we had a quorum.David Byas had arrived as a umpire assesser for Alex Wharf who was umpiring.

It start to rain and lunch was taken early so as not to lose overs.Wickets were falling regular with no batsman scoring more than about 30. Mick Bourne arrived in the afternoon for a flighting visit.He brought some of his autographs.The side show was better than the cricket.Brian Cobb arrived with Harry. This was his first visit to a cricket match this season.

Bradley Kruger came in at number 7 which seemed a bit low for a person who has played 5 O.D.I. for Holland. It looked like that Leeds may obtain first innings lead and collect 10 points but he was caught behind and Leeds finished the innings at just over 200 so not beating Loughborough total.They had taken over 80 overs to score the runs not exciting cricket but the company was good.

There was still 22 over to bowl at 5.30 but only Brian Senior stopped. Not a good start for Leeds. Day off to-morrow.
