JUNIOR CRICKET EVENING

By Brian Sanderson,

I was invited by Brian Workman to watch Carlton under 15 against West Bretton in the Gordon S.S.Cooper under 15 Championship Shield.Brian son was playing his first match for West Bretton.The match started at 6.30 in dark light with West Bretton batting.

It was good to see both sides had eleven men and there were two umpires.The crowd consisted of parents scattered round the ground which looks on to a rubarb field.At would stage the score did not look as they would reach a hundred but with a good finish this was achieved.

We were watch from behing the bowlers arm but next to a hedge which produced a number a midges as the evening went on.So we had to move round the ground to watch West Britton bowl and field very well and ran out a easy winners.

The night brought back memoirs of myself playing at this level at Colton but we rearly reached the total of a hundred but the pitch then were not covered then.
