I played over twenty years in the Bradford League so I rarely go back to watch the league. However my friend Andrew was up from London and is a follower of the league so we decided to go and watch Cleckheaton against Woodlands which was the top match of the day.We made a good decision.
Cleckheaton batted first on a sunny afternoon however they soon lost a wicket to left arm bowler Sarfraz Ahmed.The next wicket went on 41 when Andrew Gorrod was caught at the wicket for 36. Photographed above.
Next we were entertained by Christopher Holliday and Mohammad Khan with a partnership of 224. Holliday scored 151 not out with 15 fours and 7 sixes. Whilst Khan scored 107 not out with 10 fours and 4 sixes. There was some powerful hitting my both batsmen.
Woodlands had to start well but they were soon 56 for 5 with Mohammad Bilawai taking three wickets. It was left to Gregory Finn and Kez Ahmed to bring the total up to 230.
We moved to Scholes who were playing East Bierley which was a bottom of the table clash. Bierley scored 228 with Daniel Shuffe scoring a century. They then bowled the home side out for 117 with Awais Ejaz taking four wickets.
