FIRST SEASON MEETING OF THE P.C.W

By Brian Sanderson,

After shopping I popped up to Weetwood to see Leeds and Bradford University against the Yorkshire Academy in a fifty over match.As I arrived Leeds were batting and were 160 for 1 with about twenty over to go.The sun was very hot so I moved to the shade watching from a distance but cooler.
After my lunch Tony Hutton arrived back from his lunch and John Winn and Brian Senior were already watching.The Leeds side was their second team which included Charlie Roebuck.He is a Huddersfield bioy who was released by Yorkshire Academy. He went up to Durham and now at the University.
Leeds scored 260 however there were no scorecards so I could not be certain of the players.Yorkshire included Barnie Gibson , William Rhodes and a fouteen year old leg-spinner.

After a pint in the Stables to celebrate Tony,s birthday we meet Mick Bourne for the first time this season.It turn out he had not been well so it was nice for everybody  in theP.C.W to meet  and talk.Mick was in good form and entertained us royally.Good to have Mick back.

Beenwhile the only Yorshire batsman to get runs was William Rhodes from Hull who scored 70 out of 160. Another Yorshire defeat.Another person who joined us was Dave Hodgson who is the Kirkstall Educational  President. I would recommand reading his web-site which is in Kirstall Eductional web-site.Hope the weather stays fine and we can have more meetings of the club during the season.
