By Brian Sanderson,
Today was a chance to see the start of Leeds and Bradford University one day season at Weetwood.I arrived at 11.30 to find Exeter had lost three wickets to the left arm bowling of Lilley for the total of 16.
It seemed they started at 11 o,clock as the website yesterday said 12.30 .
In his car was Ian from Lancaster who had watched Exeter been beaten by Durham University yesterday and thought the match would start at 11.00.The sun was out so I settled down to watch the match being joined by Tony and Jenny. Tony had noticed it stated on the University website that match started at 11. and had to interrupt his lunch to get to Weetwood.
Wickets fell quickly to all the Leeds University bowlers so bowling Exeter out for 83 in 32 overs but there was a bonus match on Weetwood second ground. Leeds University were playing a friendly against Newcastle. So at lunch we all moved over to watch this match but the cold wind was back which made watching uncomfortable.
After lunch Leeds batsman Bullen and Wakefield won the match in 10 overs. Bullen finishing the match with a six and completed his half century.Beenwhile Leeds University had taken six wickets for 108.
The thought of keeping warm and the chance to watch the test match was more attractive than windy Weetwood.
Tomorrow a trip into the Ribblesdale and Craven leagues with some sunshine I hope.
