By Brian Sanderson,
On a sunny Wednesday morning I went up to Weetwood to watch Leeds University Seconds against Manchester University in a fifty over match.As I arrived Manchester had lost a wicket and the crowd consisted of three people. As usual at Weetwood there was a strong wind blowing which helped the Leeds bowlers to swing the ball and causing a number of wides..
By the twenty five overs had been reached ,the score was fifty eight for five wickets showing that all batsman were struggling to dominate the bowling.When another fifteen overs had gone they had reached 99 with one batsman scoring 35.
It was left up to the ten batsman to bring the score up to 148. He had scored 43 after he had been dropped early in his innings. At half time Tony Hutton arrived after he had been at New Rover were Leeds Beckett were playing. I went to try and find the names of the batsmen but the scorer did not know their names so they were blank which did not help me or the blog.
Leeds batsman started well but lost three quick wickets against the spin bowling. By the time I went home for tea the score was as above with Leeds looking they were going to win the match and the sun was still shining.
