CUP SHOCK

By Brian Sanderson,

I have just return from Harrogate were Bardsey and Studley Royal were playing in the Addison Cup Final. It was a twenty over match with Bardsey full of League professionals.
Ron Deaton arrived who played on the ground in the 1960,s.It has changed a lot since then and espically after the fire three years ago.Yorkshire won three County Championships on this ground and used to hold over ten thousand people.Now there was about one hundred watching the match and a new pavilion is being constructed.

Studley Royal won the toss and fielded.Bardsey struggled apart from Ba-Ba Butt who scored 44 out of 121.They did not run their runs fast enough and waited for another batsman to get a large score.

Studley Royal were in no problem and lost only three wickets reaching the total.There was only one team playing to-gether and wanting to win the match.At the interval I won the raffle again.It will help out Wombwell Cricket Society.
