On a windy Saturday I first called into Weetwood to see Yorkshire Academy against Beverley Town.Rain was falling when the Academy went out to bowl with Coad and Shaw.Shaw got the first wicket bowling the opening batsman in front of his father.
Moving on to Idle who were playing Gomersal in the Bradford Cricket Second Division with the rain still drizzling.There was a delay for the scorers to set up the computor system which you can following on your computor.As you enter the ground you see a large slope up to the changing rooms.Gomersal batting first and the young opener Max Senior scored 55.There was a odd shower during the innings but the umpires did well to keep the match going.You always thought Gomersal would score over 200 which they did scoring 207 for 7.
There was a cold wind blowing which made the rain clouds moving however during the Idle innings a very heavy rain storm stopped the match for fifteen minutes.Idle struggled against the steady bowling, Kitson been the best taking 6 wicets for 34.Idle struggled to reach 136 with the help of Scott Price scored 56.
Moving down the valley we went to see Green Lane against North Leeds in the Airedale Wharfedale League.. North Leeds were batting on a large field near the main road and were going to win the match.
The next match was Yeadon Seconds against Leeds and Bradford in the Bradford first division.Yeadon had scored with 194 for 7.There had been rain which had caused lost some overs.Bingley were batting against ten men but only scored 159 for 7.
