By Brian Sanderson,
After spending the morning watching the 20/20 at Bingley,I went with Ron Deaton to watch the Pickering Evening League.The League is not on the web and Ron found it when visiting Gillamore last Monday.
The first match we went to was Wombleton against Kirkbymoorside.The ground is a large area and flat.The home changing room is a pavilion that was built in 1935 whilst the opposition changed in a old caravan.
Wombleton fielded first and the Wicket-keeper and a fielder entered the field smoking.The fielder stopped the the first ball whilst still having the cigarette in his mouth.The wicket-keeper managed to still smoke until the second over.Kirkbymoorside seemed to have nine men.We left after ten over gone with three wickets down and the score 50.
Moving on to Harome who were playing Gillamore.The ground had a new pavilion with a bowls club next door.The field is small straight put wide at the side,The home side batted first and scored over 160 with the ball going into the wheatfield on numerous occasions.One batsman scored 81 not out.We left at 8,20 with still about twelve overs to bowl.
Arrived home twelve hours after leaving home and watching good rural cricket.It was worth it.
