By Brian Sanderson,
On Sunday morning decided to chance the rain and visit Golcar. This is the club of David Thorpe and were playing Delph and Dobcross in the second round of The Heavy Woollen Cup.
David was sitting on the wall in his usual place at mid-wicket. Golcar had played this team yesterday and lost easily.Golcar batted first and opened with Whitwam and Baxter who put on 117 for the first wicket. Whitwam batted very well until he was out caught and bowled.I moved out of the strong wind to sit near the scorebox. The first person I met was Brian Clough who is a long standing supporter of Bowling Old Lane nd started talking cricket. A young girl was hit on the head by the cricket ball. I wish people would watch the ball.With the help of a box of ice she seemed to get over the shock.
As the match was getting to tea Brian Senior arrived to get his excellent tea including crumble.I went out to the pitch to help David prepare the damage in the first half. Golcar had scored 209 in the fifty overs. They seem to lose there way in the second half.
When Delph started they batting very slowly scoring 75 for 1 in 26 overs.It was not exciting cricket. Lilley came in to increase the run rate and scored a quick 23. The experenced Khijee scored 50 in 96 runs.Delph went on to win the match with a over to spare.
I found out the result when looking at the tweeter report on the computor.There was no result on the Bradford web-site of this match.
