Looking at the B.B.C weather forecast for Darlington it said there would be rain about 3.00P.M but decided to risk going.I picked my sister up in Ripon and within forty-five minutes we were having a cup of coffee with a fig biscuit.
This was the second day of Durham Seconds against Leicestershire who had batted first.When we arrived they had scored 280 for 2 with Wells not out on 134.The Second Team Annual states he is the son of John Wells, Leicester Tigers RUFC 1982 to date. and made is debut aged 16 years and 163 days.He went on to score 148 and Leicester declared at lunch at 388 for 7.
We decided to tuck in to the recommended food at lunch-time.For the price of £2 it was fill your boots time which some people did.Best value for money on the cricket tour.The photograph above shows the old football ground at the back of the cricket ground.Soon this field will be full of houses so this may be the last photograph showing the state of the football ground.
After lunch Durham opened with Jennings and Clark. Jennings was born in Johannesburg and son of R.V.who played at Transvaal and Warwicks.However to-day he was soon out but Jack Clark from Ashington scored 48 before he was out.Durham struggled all afternoon against the Leicester bowling which included Harry Bush who played for Leeds and Bradford University.
At the end of the day Durham were 230 for 9 and may have to bat to-morrow again.There was no rain all day.B.B.C wrong again.
