It was a early start this morning as I was invited to the Chairmans Lunch at York by Robert Procter.Arriving at the right time Robert was at the bar and his father,Bob,was sat down.The lunch was at 12.30 so we were able to eat before the match started.York were playing Beverley Town Cricket Club in the Kingfisher National Knockout competition.. Beverley in 2012 enjoyed a great year of celebrations to mark 150 years since the modern club was founded.The club have senior teams operating in the York Senior Premier and first Divisions of the East Yorkshire Alliance Premier and First Divisions.
York batted first with Duncan Snell who is a prolific left-hand batsman and is 3rd highest run scorer in the Yorkshire League. His partner was Jack Leaning who is a Yorkshire Seconds player.They put on a stand of 120 when Snell was out.Jack Leaning was next out with the score being 153 in the twenty-fifth over of a forty-five over match.At this point I left York to see a more competative match at Harrogate were I sat in John Winn,s car because of the cold wind and rain showers.
York finished on 409 for 3 with Ollie Hairs on 208 with 15 fours and 14 six,s. Then bowled Beverley out for under 100 so I finish watching the most exciting match.
Picture is of York new pavilion.
Headingley to-morrow.
