David Thorpe of Golcar mention that Yorkshire Girls U 15 were playing Shropshire at Harrogate in a forty over match so I decded to see the match and pleased I did.Yorkshire Seconds were playing at South Northumberland and after the poor showing last week I decided not to go.
Yorkshire girls opened the batting with Yvonne and Teresa Graves who are twins.It is a good quiz qestion if this ever happen before,I think the answer is no.Yvonne was soon out L.B.W but told the umpire she hit it first however Teresa went on to score 98 runs in 98 balls.She was also involved in a large partnership with Madeline Walsh ,a Golcar girl.She lives very close to the ground and has been playing cricket since she was 7.Madeline was not out with 68 in a total of 202.
At tea -time we heard that Teresa would have been given a £300 bat by her father if she had scored a hundred.She was out caught and bowled as seem very tired at the end of the innings.Shropshire started batting well but as soon as Amy Gibson came on to bowl wickets started to fall and she took the first four wickets.As I was leaving Shropshire were 98 for 6 with eight over to go so it looked as Yorkshire won another match.They are playing Lancashire on Saturday and have a chance to go through to the semi-finals.
All the very best to the girls on Saturday and in their future.
