By Brian Sanderson,
The match to-day was the first day of Yorkshire Seconds against Warwickshire Seconds in a three day match.Stamford Bridge is well known for the battle between King Harold and the Vikings in 1066 but today battle was a lot quieter.The weather in the morning was cloudy with some spots of rain with a strong westerly wind blowing across the ground however the sun came out in the afternoon.
To arrive at the ground we passed The Leeds Music festival site getting ready for the week-end.One of the delights of the ground is their bacon butties which are cooked outside.Yorkshire had included Anthony Mc Grath to strenghten the batting from yesterday which was required.
Yorkshire batted first and again two quick wickets fell to Andrew Miller who has played for Lancashire in 2004. Thank you to theSecond Eleven Annual which is edited my Howard Clayton who is to-day Yorkshire scorer.Anthony McGrath had to go off with migraine whilst he was batted and returned after lunch.He scored a good 70 and with Jack Leaning put together a good patnership.
At the moment the total cricket scorer web site is not up to date for this match so can not give the correct scores as I rely on this web-site.
I left at tea-time to enable me to get home missing the York racing crowd and Yorkshire were eight wickets down for about 230.This was my last day of second team cricket this season as this is Yorkshire last home match. The cricket season is drawing to a close.
