By Brian Sanderson,
After a cricket free day I set off to Weetwood. The match was between Leeds and Bradford University and Durham Second X1. There was a strong cold wind blowing again and decided to watch the match from the side of the pavilion.
The forum was made up of Tony Hutton. Ron Stansfield and Malcolm.Durham were batting first with Coetzer and Raine. They started well with a opening stand of 37.Then Painter ,the medium bowler, took three wickets.Then Craddock came on with his leg-spin taking 6 wickets.
It rain for about 5 minutes when Durham were nine wickets down however when they return Claydon was soon out. Durham had scored 117.During the innings David Thorpe brought some press photographs of Dai Jenkins.Includig some off Leeds against Bradford Final in 1948.Brian Senior went to listen to a organ recital at about noon in the centre of Leeds.
Durham opening attack of Claydon and Rushworth soon got a quick wicket. However the spinners of Durham including Wood,Shahzad and Pringle soon took more wickets.However the sixth wicket partnership of Leach and Wilson took the University to victory.
The numbers of overs bowled was 28 and the match finished at 4 p.m.A short day.
Hope it is warmer to-morrow.
