HARROGATE FRIDAY LAST RITES

By Tony Hutton,

Dylan Budge, the captain of Woodhouse Grove School and former Yorkshire schools player, made top score of 34 for Durham who resuimed on 54-5 this morning in front of a small, but select,crowd in perfect weather conditions. Budge and his partner Buckley put on 44 for the sixth wicket and raised hopes of the game lasting until lunchtime.However once Budge was out caught behind by Hodgson off Shaw things took a more predictable course. Captain Will Rhodes decided to bowl off spin, rather than his usual medium pace ,as Karl Carver had picked up an injury playing football,and took the next wicket to fall.Then, Josh Shaw,who had taken 5-43 in the first innings,rounded things off ,by destroying the tail.He demolished the stumps of the last man Morley to finish with match figures of 10-71. So comprehensive victory for Yorkshire with the Harrogate ground in excellent condition to match the weather.
