I had to go elsewhere this morning so was unable to go to see the opening morning of Yorkshire Seconds against Glamorgan.As I arrived on a hot sunny afternoon Yorkshire were batting with Jack Leaning and William Rhodes.
Jack Leaning has been scoring a lot of runs for York ,his league club and batted well last week at Stamford Bridge.Again he looked in good form until he was L.B.W to Murphy for 77 and looked a bad decision from the Rugby Stand end.A number of people watched the match from here because it was in the shade.Among the spectators were Tony Hutton, Malcolm and Andy from York.
Rhodes was joined by Ric Pyrah as he now likes to be know as but was soon out caught behind .As he left the field he threw his gloves,bat and helmet on the floor before going to the dressing room.This gives a poor example to the younger Yorkshire players.
I had to leave early to go to a Rugby League Heritage meeting but Rhodes went on to score 89. Yorkshire declared at 304 for 6.
The photograph is of Sir F.S.Jackson going through the gates at Headingley in 1938 so I was following in the steps of one of Yorkshire great players.
