By Brian Sanderson,
I met Ron Deaton at Weetwood this morning as he required some autographs of some young Yorkshire cricketers. Today the Academy were playing Stamford Bridge wo were captain by Will Rhodes,Yorkshire player.
The Academy batted first with Ben Ainsley and Harry Brook opening the batting. As we left they were still batting and looking at totalscorer site they put on a opening stand of 146. The Academy won by 59 runs and the match just finished as we return from our trip.
Second match we went to was Green lane Seconds against Horsforth Hall Park in the Airedale and Wharfedale League. Ron had not visited the ground before eventhough he played in the league.
Moving to the other side of Bradford we arrived at Haycliffe Lane which is the home ground of Great Horton Park Chapel. The club was formed this year when Wibsey Chapel and Great Horton Chapel join together. They play in the Dales Cricket League and this was the final ground I required in this league.The cricket was not of the highest standard but both sides were enjoying their cricket.Long may they continue.
Moving on to the Bradford League , we went to Liversedge who were playing Yeadon who were batting.The home side used to be in the Central Yorkshire League. There second team was bowled for 59 by Hunslet Nelson in 22 overs. Showing how poor the league is at this present time.However the first team beat Yeadon.
Next match was at Heckmondwike were the seconds were playing Adwalton. The standard was not good but surprise surprise the home side bowled Adwalton out for 144.It seemed to be played as a charity match.
Last match we went to was at Batley were they were playing Baildon. The ground is next to the Rugby League ground and their supporters club still has not been knocked down since the fire in September 2015.
