By Brian Sanderson,
There are some grounds you wish to visit on annual basis and Glossop is one ground. It has still a green bank and the club officials are very kind including a good bacon sandwich. Today match was a Derbyshire seconds against Lancashire in two 20/20's. On the Glossop website it stated started at 10.30 and the Lancashire site 11.00 however it started at 11.30. It did give me a chance to walk round the small town.
Derbyshire batted first on a very wet wicket. This cause the batsman to lose the timing their strokes and the Lancashire fielding caught two brilliant catches which was worth the admittance money. Today was £2 compared to £18 yesterday at Derby.
After twenty overs Derbyshire reached 116 which we thought would not be enough to win the match.This was the case when Lanchashire won by 5 balls to spare but closer than I thought. During Lancashire inning we were able to talk to Kyle Hogg who has recently had to retire from cricket due to injury and he is only 32.
During the interval we were entertain by Gerald who is the Bradford and Bingley scorer who arrived on his motor bike.In the second match Lancashire batted first and Jordan Clark,above ,struck some huge . He is the cricketer who hit six six's off an over bowled by Gurman Randhawa who is now playing for Durham.
I had to leave the ground after Lancashire inning's when they had scored 152 in their twenty overs.The result should come on both counties websites but we will see. I hope to go back to Glossop next year and enjoy the ground again
