To-day was a short drive to Pudsey Congs were Yorkshire Seconds were playing Glamorgan in a 40 overs match.The weather was again hot so I sat in the shade with Tony Hutton and Malcom.We were joined later by John Winn.The time of the match had been put back to 11 o,clock from 12 which confused a number of supporters who arrived late.
I spent the first few overs selling the scorecards round the ground.The number of spectators at the match was about over eighty which was better than any day at Headingley this week.Glamorgan batted first and soon lost quick wickets to the bowling of Asraf and Whitelaw.The only batsman to score any runs was Thomas Lancefield who was released by Surrey in 2012. He scored 80 out of a total of 185 in 37.5 overs.
Another Yorshire wicket taker was Rafiq who took 3 for 35.
After lunch Hodgson started quickly against some poor bowling. He was soon out and it was left up to Rafiq to become the top scorer with 80. He scored quickly with some agricultural shots to the leg side. A photograph above is of Rafiq batting to-day.The top partnership of 81 was with Rafiq and Rhodes..
The match finished at about 3.45 which was about one and half hours earilier than it should have which was a pity on a beautiful day.However there is still Rugby League to-night.
