After two trips to Scarborough I wanted a easy ground to visit and Weetwood is only ten minutes away from my house.The match was a three day friendly between Leeds @ Bradford University and Lancashire.
It was the third day and in the Telegraph stated Leeds after been asked to bat again were three wickets down.So I called up before lunch to see want the situation was and no more wickets had fallen with Gubbins and Reece batting.Brian Senior was sitting in the sunshine watching the match and enjoying Weetwood at it,s best.
In the first innings Lancashire had scored 309 with wicket-keeper batsnman Davies scoring 69.Leeds had scored 116 with Lancashire Second teamer Reece scoring 41 .After lunch Tony Hutton had arrived and had been watching most of the other two days and it was good to see him.I told him all about the people who had been at Scarborough during the last two days.When Lancashire took the new ball ,wickets started to fall with Gubbins been the first for 82.Reece was out caught at second slip for 77 off Clark who looks a good bowler. The rest of the wickets soon fell to Parry and Leeds were all out 265 and so were 72 runs ahead.
Lancashire started quickly and Brown was first out for 37.Tea should have been 3.40 put the umpires are allowed to add on another fifteen minutes which they did.Just before tea Smith was bowled and Lancashire required 8 runs to win but the umpires had to call tea.After a twenty minutes break Lancashir took five balls to win the match.
The photograph was taken at the beginning of the season when they were taking photographs of the players.
