By Brian Sanderson,
On a sunny Tuesday I wandered up to Weetwood to see Yorkshire Academy play Scotland Academy.Yorkshire had three new players;
James Stuart ,allrounder ,from Doncaster.
Matthew Simpson,Fast Bowler, from Saltaire.
Daniel Hodgson,wicket-keeper,from Leeds and Bradford University.
It was a fifty over match with Yorkshire batting first.Lees and Gildart shown aggression against the bowling.However three wickets fell for 80 and was left to Hodgson and Stuart.They put on a century stand with good batting.Stuart was first out for 50 and left Hodgson to score over 80.The final Yorkshire score was 287.A good score.
At half-time Tony,Jenny and myself went to New Rover.The match was Yorkshire over 60 against Cheshire over 60.Cheshire were batting with two wickets down.The Yorkshire captain had to go off injured.After a slow cricket Cheshire reached over 170.It was good to see players of my age still playing.
Moving back to Weetwood we found Scotland wanting 140 in twenty-five overs with five wickets down.With standy batting they got the toal down to wanting 20 over 4 overs.Wainman,the left arm quick bowler,started to bowl leg-side wides which helped Scotland win the match.
Excellent match and good to see Yorkshire introducing some League players into the side.
