Looking at the Cricket Yorkshire web-site this morning I notice that there was a match at Weetwood to-day.
It turned out to be Leeds and Bradford University against Exeter in a fifty-over semi-final.Yesterday Leeds and lost to Loughbrough in a 20/20 Final at Lords.
One of the interesting things about watching University cricket is the background of the players.One of these was Christopher Francis Wakefield who opened the innings for Leeds who plays for Middlesex Seconds. He scored 83 and was the wicket-keeper.Leeds had beaten Exeter two wickets ago in this competition quite easily.Another of Leeds player was James Lee who I had seen at Bankfoot.
All the P.C.W were there have found out about the match in different ways.John Winn had been at Giggleswick School yesterday and heard about it then.Also there was Glyn Pearson who was assessing the Umpires and is a member of the M.C.C.During the afternoon Tony Hutton arrived with his grandson who had been to the Rhinos match last night.
Leeds scored over 250 in their fifty overs.After tea Exeter started well but were pegged back by the spin of Alex Mac Queen who plays for M.C.C Universities.As I left Exeter score was 130 for 6 with seventeen overs left. The final will be next Monday which should include Leeds and Bradford.
Some of the people who read the blog are from Sweden and I hope you enjoy it.
