BUSY DAY IN SPORT

By Brian Sanderson,

I was about to set off to see the second day of Yorkshire match when it started to rain.So settled down to watch Australian Rugby League from Darwin.The temperature was 28 degrees and humity of 80%.Again to warm for me.At the end of the match ,the rain had stopped so wandered over to the stadium.It is not a cricket ground.

Play would not start until 1.40 however I collected my Second Team Annual from Howard Clayton.Playfair is still coming from Amazon.Sat next to Andy to see Yorkshire been bowled out for 135 with Leach taking 3 for 15.One of Leeds and Bradford University bowler is Ivan Thomas who took a hat-trick last season for Kent Seconds.It is only in the Second Team Annual can you find this fact.Well done Howard Clayton, Editor.

I watched the University innings with Tony Hutton who has given a number of League Handbooks to the Yorkshire Archives. Thank you Tony.Also there was Jenny who said she would be reading the blog on Sunday.Thank you Jenny for viewing the blog.
While we were watching the match The Grand National was on the T.V.One of the horses was called Shakalakaboomboom and its name was called a number of times.The name could have belonged to a Sri Lanka 20/20 cricketer.

Again Mc Grath was the best bowler with 4 for 28 but Luis Reece scored fifty to keep Yorkshire bowling.Last season he scored 144* for Lancashire Seconds against Sussex.Guess were I found that fact from ?.

University are over 200 in front and this will set up a good third day if it stays dry.
Good news was that Ayr United won this afternoon.Back to reading the Annual
