On a sunny Bank Holiday Monday I decided to go an watch Yorshire under 15 against Wales after been advised of the match by Brian Workman.Ossett is a club were Fairfax Gill played who played two matches for Yorkshire in 1906.Fairfax deid of his wounds on the 1 November 1917 having been shot in the head.You can read his story in the new Mick Pope book called Headingley Ghosts.Yorkshire struggled to find a image of him but earlier this year Ossett club found a picture of him in a group photograph.
This match was a two day match with 105 overs to be bowled in a day.Wales had been defeated yesterday by Worcestershire so may be this is why they put Yorshire into bat.The Welsh bowling was very tight and they all bowled well with the wickets shared.Yorkshire scored 215 in 62 overs with the number 3 bat scoring fifty.It is a pity there is not a sheet with the players name on them.
At tea time we went home to watch the Test Match on the television.They were advertising tickets at £30 to-day which is still priced to high.This is why the crowd was poor and Sky making sly comments about Yorkshire people meaness.
Just a note to thank somebody from Taiwen for reading the blog and I hope he enjoys reading about two cricket supporters going round the country.
