START OF THE BRADFORD LEAGUE
By Brian Sanderson,
Leaving Headingley to see proper cricket grounds.Andrew Wickham and myself set off to Gomersal who were playing East Bierley.
East Bierley batted first with Hamilton and Razak scored easily against poor bowling.
Bierley had five Championship players in their side and it showed.They hit numerous six,s into the road. One of them hit a shop window and a man started shouting telling the batsmen to hit the ball away from his shop.They reached 301 for 6 in the fifty overs. The highest scorer was Hamilton with 84.
Straight after tea Gomersal lost two quick wickets to Azar Ullah .At this point we decided to leave this one sided match.Moving on to Spen Victoria who were playing Saltaire.Another on-sided match with Saltaire winning.Moving on to find a even match we went to Brighouse how ever the match was over with Brighouse losing by 8 wickets to Hartshead Moor.
Next match was Bankfoot against Bowling Old Lane.The sun was still shining and Bankfoot were batting.Old Lane had been bowled out for 106 and Bankfoot were 30 for 0.But Hanif was bowling left-arm darts and collected 7 wickets making Bankfoot all out for 71. A surprise victory for Old Lane .
Last match was Pudsey St. Lawrence were playing Cleckheaton who had scored 189.
Pudsey scoreboard was not working due to a robbery.Watts and Stiff managed to steer Pudsey to a victory.
On this week Gomersal bowling will have to improve and Pudsey will be near the top at the end of the season.We will find out by September.
