LIVINGSTONE FROM BARROW

By Brian Sanderson,

Another one of my favourite trips is to Todmorden which I went on t0-day with Bob Proctor.The match was a forty-over match between Yorkshire Second s and Lancashire.The forecast was cloudy but dry and it proven so.

Walking into the Red Brick cafe  Peter France and Philip Dibb  were having a early snack.Yorkshire batted first and was in a big problem at 10 for 3.Leaning and Hodgson put on a partnership of 86 before Hodgson was out for 43.He was one of three wickets to the leg-spinner Mc Kierman who has a funny action.Leaning went on to score 47 and caught on the boundary edge off a full toss.Will Rhodes batted well for 42 and Yorkshire made 180 for 7 which would not be good enough.

After the break Lancashire were 15 for 2 with the help of a brillant catch by Jack Tattersall to remove Davies.Ashraf dropped a catch to take another quick wicket before Livingstone started to take the bowling apart.He went on to score 121 not out  in 92 balls with 16 fours and 6 sixes with a number going in the road.
Lancashire went on to win by five wickets and move on to the final.
This is a photograph of  Liam Stephen Livingstone.I may see him to-morrow in the three  day match.
