Visiting Emmerdale

 By Brian Sanderson

This afternoon I went to visit Richard Griffiths,the Hampshire

memorabilia collector at Esholt which is were the orginial

Emmerdale series was shot.

Their second team were playing Ben Rhydding first team.

Next season they are transfering to the Nidderdale League.

The above photograpgh is of the old pavilion and the new 

one has a excellent bar and tables outside.

The home side batted first and were soon losing wickets 

against steady bowling .The number eleven batsman was

Mick Scott who opens the bowling for the Yorkshire

over sixties side.Today he scored 10 out of a score of 111

in the fifty overs.

It was never going to be enough and they lost by 4 wickets.

One of the umpires was Tony Bowry who has done a lot 

of work for Yorkshire Cricket Board.


Moving on back towards Leeds I called in tho Green Lane

who were playing Beckwithshaw first team who were batting.

At one stage they were 112 for 8 but with the help of an 

excellent innings by C.Irvine who scored 48 not out, they

managed to reach 196.

As I was leaving it started to rain heavily and it was cold.

Last week it was too hot now it was too cold. Great to be

in Yorkshire in the summer of 2020.
