Yesterday I went with Brian Senior to Denby Dale to see Yorkshire under 14 against Huddersfield under 15.When we arrived after four overs Yorkshire had lost two wickets for 4 runs.The first wicket was run out with the batsman not facing a ball.We were joined by Peter France,Malcolm from Colton ,Graham,Brian Workman and David Thorpe so we nearly had a full set of P.C.W.
Malcolm had been to New Rover on Tuesday to Yorkshire over 60 against Derbyshire however they had only seven men. It seems there had been a hold up on the M1 and four players could not get to the match.Derbyshire batted first but at the drinks break their captain decided to call off the match as they did not have a full side.I have never heard of this happening before.
The weather forecast said rain wouldv arrive at 2.00,4.00 or 6.00 depending which forecast you watched.It started to rain at 1.00 but Yorkshire finished there innings scoring over 180 in the forty-five overs. There were four run outs in the innings and the Yorkshire coaches were not happy.
Everbody retreated to the tea-room where Mrs Geldard was in charge. Peter Dibb decided to have a straw berry scone with cream.for part of his dinner.I f Wimbledon can do it so can Denby Dale. The rain was still falling and was expected to rain for a number of hours so decide to go home.
Denby Dale ground as you will see from the photograph slopes down and has a river running under the ground. At the bottom there are numerous trees and is a typical local Huddersfield ground scenic.
