Looking at trhe weather forecast and having to be back for 6.30 I decided to go to Weetwood.The match was Yorkshire Academy against Harrogate in the Yorkshire E.C.B League.Harrogate were bowling and was ready at 11.45 but the umpires would not start till 12.00. Harrogate was short of their left arm medium bowler Lilley who was twelfth man at the Test Match at Headingley one mile away.
Harrogate opening bowler was Vic Craven who was a member of Yorkshire Championship side of 2001.He bowled very well taking three wickets for thirty -nine in his fifteen overs. Yorkshire lost three quick wickets. George Ross from Guiseley together with Will Rhodes from Hull put on a fourth partnership of 141.It had rained for a hour after the first over causing the match to be a time match.Twenty overs after 6.30.George scored 85 and was disappointed to miss out on his century.
Yorkshire declared at 212 for 6 in the 48 overs.
One of the supporters was Martin Moxon ,the person in charge of Yorkshire,looking at the new talent. He would have been pleased with Ross and Rhodes.
This left Harrogate to get the total in about 43overs which Vic Craven thought it was a good declaration.
Yorkshire two opening bowlers of Coad and Shaw bowled 13 overs for 25 which put Harrogate behind the clock. At this point I left the match but I have seen on the computor that Harrogate scored 144 for 8 so had not reached Yorkshire score.Craven scored 43 so had a good match but on the losing side.
