This morning was wet and I thought they would struggle to start on time at Weetwood but when I arrived in the afternoon the umpires were coming out for the second innings.The match was a one-day match with the Academy playing Scotland Development X1.Scotland had scored 140.
Sitting near the pavilion was Jenny and Gorden Chadwick. I saw Gorden last at Whitkirk were Airewharfe under 15 lost to Wetherby.Yorkshire were soon struggling at 40 for 3 and the game was in the balance.Then Fern and Booth put on a partnership of 79 with Fern scoring 38.During this time Tony Hutton arrived after is family lunch.Fern was bowled swing at a straight ball however Toby Booth went on to win the match with a score over 60.The scoreboard at Weetwood does not give individual batsman scores.
A good victory for a young Academy side against a experienced Scottish side.A photograph below is of Toby going off the ground after hitting the winning runs.
