By Brian Sanderson,
This morning myself and Bob Procter sent off to Middleton Park in Leeds.The sun was shining which made a pleasent change.Recently I had purchased a photograph of Middleton Park C.C. in 1905 who were the winners of Yorkshire Central League.The club no longer play but we managed to find the pitch with a help of a 1920 map supplied by Friends of Middleton Park.It is situated next to the bowls club and next to the lake.
I will have to do some more research about the club to find out when it was established and when it finished.
More to come.
In the afternoon we went to Weetwood to see Leeds and Bradford University against Sussex.It was a friendly match although orginially was first class.Sussex were batting after the University had been bowled out for 164.
Sussex were 22 for 4 with Luke Reece taking all the wickets.After lunch Reech and Hardman bowled well getting Sussex all out for 58. At this time we were joined by Nigel Pullen who had been delayed due motoring problems.Reece took 7 for 21.In the Second Team Annual it states he plays for Lancashire Seconds and had scored 144 not out against Sussex last year.He is a excellent prospect and a pleasent person.
University started to loose wickets but had a good lead.The weather came coldier so decided to go home for tea and warmth. As I was leaving meet Tony Hutton who had been to Scarborough who said it was freezeng on the coast.I am going there to-morrow so will take hat and gloves.
