The weather forecast was showers but I decided to goto Masham with by sister to see Yorkshire under15B against Lancashire.It is beautiful ground as you can see from the photograph and the locals are very friendly.There was a match yesterday which Lancashire won easily and to-day was another fifty over match. Yorkshire had strengthen their team today.
Lancashire batted first and soon struggled against tight bowling.You have problems in these matches as there are no team sheets and I did not know any of the players.During the innings two Hercules transport planes flew past at a low altitude.Yorkshire had a leg-spinner who plays for York third team and took five wickets.
Lancashire were 80 for 8 mainly due to his bowling.However the last two wickets put on 61 for them to finish on 141.
At lunch-time we walked up to the village for some lunch.When we had finished I talked to John from Boroughbridge.Yorkshire started of well until the opening batsman was caught by a brillant catch in the outfield.They struggled to lose four wickets before a fifth wicket stand came together to win the match.
Pleased there were no showers and were able to watch the match in sunshine.
