By Brian Sanderson,
I return to Weetwood again to watch Yorkshire Academy against York in the Black Sheep semi-final.
It is a fifty over competiition which started at 1.00P.M. with the Academy batting after there victory yesterday. There was a shower of rain which delayed the start a few minutes.Harry Brook was soon out for 4 and then Hussain was out for 2 which left the score at 21 for 2. Leo McKendry ,photographed above bowled well . Bowling his ten over for 3 for 28.
Nearly half way through the overs the Academy were in trouble at 88 for 5.Both sides were under strength but Imtiaz batted well to score 61 before Pringle had him l.b.w .With the help of Warner ,who scored 41, the Academy reached 224 in the fifty overs. There was a decent crowd but by half time the weather became cooler and some people went in their car too watch the match.
York started well with Brown, also a Academy player and McCauley who put on 35 in eight overs.At this stage I went home for my dinner . The last score is 117 for after 24 overs with the two McKendry brothers batting.
York must be favourites to go through to the final with these good batsmen.
