On a beautiful April day I walked through the gates of Headingley for the first Championship match.Good news as I reached the Long Room William Roberts ,the bookseller,was offering his stock at half price.Purchased some photographs of Yorkshire players.
Brian Workman and his son had come up from Sheffield to watch the match.We moved out side to sit in the sunshine and the person we sat near was Alan Studdard. I saw Alan last at Pudsey were he was speaking about Lancashire League.The sun was very nice along with the company.At lunch Yorkshire had struggled to 40 for 4 and the first boundary coming after seventy minutes.
After lunch I strolle back from home .Yorkshire soon closed their innings at 96 in 46.2 overs.Not a good start to the season but at tea-time I went round to the bookstall.Vivian and Geoff were just finishing selling the books to help Yorkshire cricket.They do a exellent job with very little help.
After tea the sunshine left and a cold wind got up.Went inside to sit with Ron Deaton to watch the cricket in the warmth.Nash, the opening bat,scored 80 and looked in good form.Bad light took the players off at 5.30 with Sussex 104 for 3 with Sidebottom taking all three wickets.
The photograph above is of Hove when I went to watch them three years ago.Worth a visit to the ground as you can watch the cricket in a deckchair and is near the sea..
For P.C.W. St Georges are playing Selby on Saturday in Harewood Park.Good place to watch cricket.
