TWO COLD DAYS AT WEETWOOD

By Brian Sanderson,

Due to the prospect of rain on Sunday I did not go to Barrow to watch Cumberland but went to watch the Academy at Weetwood.

Mollie and Jenny were sitting there talking about the victory at York yesterday.The Sunday match was a cup game against Hull.Hull batted first and lost three wickets before it rained.This reminded me of Jane Morgan song Day the rain came down.The match was abandoned.

To-day I ventured to Weetwood again to see a one day match between Leeds and Bradford University and Cambridge University.The coach for Cambridge is Chris Scott who played for Nottingham,Durham and Yorkshire Bank.

There was a cold westerly wind blowing across the field and cloudy sky,s.Cambridge batted first losing 3 for 35 .Then Craig Park,South African, and Jivan Lotay put in a stand of 104.In the next ten overs they scored 48 runs and lost 6 wickets including two run outs.A poor finish to the innings.They finished on 187.

Gary Park who plays for Derbyshire was at the match watching his brother.One of the umpires was Glynn Pearson and we dicussed the Netherfield match and the rain.

Leeds sent of badly against the bowling of Joshua Poysden who has played for Sussex and Hampshire Seconds.When I left cold, the score was 66 for 6 with over 25 over still to bowl.

Hoping to-morrow is warmer and can not worry about the rain.
