By Brian Sanderson,
After bidding on Knight,s Auction on the internet, I set off to Pudsey Lawerence to see them play East Bierley.The match is in the Bradford League First Division.The ground is situated in Tofts Road and as you enter the ground by The Len Hutton gates in the distance is Pudsey Church were Major Booth has two plaques.He was one of the three Yorkshire players who died inThe First World War.
East Bierley were batting with Gavin Hamilton who was a ex England and Yorkshire player.There had been a disputed catch which had been turn down against Hamilton.before I arrived .He carried on to score 68 with 9 fours and 3 six,s.There was a hour delay because of rain which caused tea-time to be brought forward.Rennison carried on where Hamilton had finished also scoring 68 but not out.He scored 7 fours and 2 six,s. against good bowling from Marsden and Ashford.They bowled 30 overs for 80 runs and taking 3 wickets.
There was another shower of rain with four overs of the East Bierley innings to go and a number of people thought they should declare after the rain break which caused the match to loss six overs.However they carried on batting to score 251 for 6 in the 50 overs.
When Pudsey was batting Robertshaw ,one of Pudsey openers,was run out when he collided with the Bierley bowler causing him to be short of the crease.Another disputed call which caused dicussion in the crowd and Robertshaw swearing go off the ground.Hester,the number three batsman , was then given out L.B.W causing him to start crashing doors in the pavilion.
Some more rain came to abandon the match which had caused discussion points during the match.The rain won again and let us hope to-morrow will be a better day.
Brian Cobb mentioned that I had not put the venues for the M.C.C matches on Friday blog.They one I missed was 2 July M.C.C Universities play Durham at theRacecourse ground.Sorry about the error.

SUNNY SHAW LANE.
By Brian Sanderson,
The weather was sunny when we arrived with Worcestershire batting.There was another good crowd including Peter France another tick on his card to become P.C.W.Brian Cox also arrived after his trip to Weetwood yesterday.
Rashid bowled fifteen overs for no wickets and then left the match to go to Leicester to the first team.Matthew Pardoe batted through the innings to score 156 not out.Randhawa was the best bowler who took five for 32. Another left-arm spinner for Yorkshire.At lunch there was a heavy shower but the sun returned and Yorkshire took the final wicket.
Sayers and Lees opened the innings but with little effect. Richardson bowling figures were excellent. 13-8-7-1.Another good bowler was Shaaiq Choudhry who played for Leeds and Bradford University.He took 4 for 29 but the Yorkshire batting was poor.Rhodes was 30 not out at the end of the evening.
Weather may save Yorkshire to-morrow.

EXCITING MATCH AT WEETWOOD
By Brian Sanderson,
On Tuesday I went to Weetwood to see the Yorkshire Academy.On the Yorkshire web-site they stated that South Africa Under19 were played however this was incorrect.The team who were playing was Centurion High School who were from South Africa and had beaten Durham Academy yesterday.
Tony Hutton was their after his trip to watch Cumberland at Furniss.The first day was washed out but Cumberland had bowled Lincolnshire for 90 before lunch on the second day..Also there was Jerry ,the Middlesex supporter wearing his pink shirt. The weather was sunny but was a strong cross breeze.
The Academy was captained by Oliver Hannon-Dalby which started the question when was the last double barreled name person who captain Yorkshire.Yorkshire batted first and soon lost a wicket to a run out.It was left to Tattersall and Hussan to put 85 in 26 overs.Yorkshire managed to reach 204 in fifty over which was good as Oliver was batting 6.The innings lasted about three hours twenty minutes which was too long.
South Africans started well and talked Africarn between themselves.The best Yorkshire bowler was Carl Karver from Sessey.He bowls left-arm spin with a excellent loop.I hope the coaches do not make him bowl flat and quick.His bowling figures were 3 for 27.We had to move to opposite to the pavilion as the breeze came cold.The South African wanted four from the last over with nine wickets down.Rain was falling making the ball wet for the spinners.They won the match with four balls spare.A match started slowly but came to a excellent climax.The best match so far this season.Yorkshire over 60 should have been playing at New Rover but no players turned up.

A good day for Rashid
posted by John Winn
To Shaw Lane, Barnsley with Dave Masterman for the first day of the SET match between Yorks II and their Worcester counterparts. A warm sunny morning had brought out a respectable crowd with a number of pcws gathered on the pavilion side: the Huddersfield branch particularly well represented. 'Sun-drenched' was probably putting it too strongly but it was certainly shirt sleeved weather. Two notable absentees were Messrs Hutton and Sanderson, thought to be at Weetwood watching the Academy playing South Africa A.
Yorkshire batted first with Lees and Sayers opening but the conversation out sparkled the cricket until Sayers cracked three fours square on the offside but he fell lbw to the impressive Russell. Sharing the new ball with Jones was Alan Richardson, one of Wisden's five players of the year on his way back from injury. The afternoon was enlivened by the arrival of Brian Senior who amused us with tales of his recent holiday in the Isle of Man. Brian had only just been made aware of the game at Weetwood. How did you miss that Brian?
Fifties from Rashid and Leaning boosted Yorkshire to 179 for 5 when light rain became more persistent and Dave and I made our way back up the M1. No sooner had we got clear of Barnsley than the roads were dry and the action at Shaw Lane had resumed to the extent that a further twelve wickets fell before the close and when I checked the close of play score on Total Cricket Scorer The Pears trailed The Tykes by 115 with seven first innings wickets down. Rashid leads the way with three wickets to add to his attractive 53 with the bat.
An interesting second day has been set up, let's hope the weather allows a decent ration of play tomorrow. Thursday is not to be relied on.

Di Venuto wreaks havoc
At 10:30 this morning I phoned Brandon CC and was told without hesitation that the SET game between Durham II and Northants II would definitely start at 12 noon and so I drove the sixty miles to south west Durham arriving just after the scheduled start to find the players cavorting on the outfield but worryingly a group of four or five officials standing by the wicket and looking glum, in the way that people selected for that kind of task do so well.
Steve Harmison brought the news to the pavilion that 'they' would look again at one o'clock at which point I began to fear the worst. There was, apparently, a problem with the bowlers' take off points but to the credit of the host club a man with an industrial strength hairdryer set to work and after half an hour of 'dry hard two' it was announced that a 25 over match would begin at 2:15.
In the meantime I had bumped into my friend Ray Parker, who although he is based in South Wales, is a not infrequent visitor to the north east and for this week he is staying with his son who lives near Northallerton.Ray is a devotee of Minor Counties, Second Eleven and club cricket and we were happy to wile away the time before the rearranged start, mainly discussing how much cricket we had not watched, rather than watched, this season.
Durham had put out a side with three former test players, Di Venuto, Harmison and Blackwell, assisted by regular first teamers Stoneman and Thorpe. Northants won the toss and put Durham in and Di Venuto feasted on the visitors' attack to the tune of 156 not out off 80 balls including numerous sixes. assisted mainly by Jennings and Richardson. Durham raced to 238 for 4, a total always likely to be too high for Northants whose cause was not helped by the loss of early wickets. From 70 for 7 they rallied to 128 for 7 at the end of their 25 overs, but still over 100 short. Leading wicket taker for Durham was Coughlin with three. Tomorrow sees the start of a three day SET game between the two teams at the same well appointed ground.
The National KO Cup managed to complete all but three of yesterday's fixtures and here as promised is the draw for the last sixteen stage. You will note that, sensibly, the competition is regionalised rather than nationalised.
Chorley v Cuckney
York or Blaydon v West Indian Cavaliers or Ockbrook and Borrowash
South Wilts v Bridgewater
Neston v Kidderminster Victoria
Bamford Fieldhouse v Ormskirk
Brentwood v Barnt Green
Spencer or Havant v Teddington
Tunbridge Wells v Wanstaed and Snaresbrook
Tomorrow to Shaw Lane, Barnsley for Yorks II v Worcs II, always an enjoyable day out.

AT LAST A YORKSHIRE SECOND TEAM MATCH
By Brian Sanderson,
To-day was a chance to go to Pudsey Congs ground to watch Yorkshire Seconds against Worcestershire in a Trophy 50 overs match.There had been a lot of rain in the area and Ralph Middlebrook together with other workers managed to get the match started.It could not get started until 1.00 instead of 12.00 which reduced the overs to 34. However we much thank them all for all their work.
I sat next to Peter France who wants to join the P.C.W. group has he had been to three grounds on Saturday trying to see a cricket match.Worcester batted first with Pattinson and Wardlaw opening the bowling who had both played Championship cricket.Also first teamers was Sayers, Lyth and Rashid. On the Worcestershire side was Brett D,Oliveira was playing who is the grandson of Basil.
Yorkshire bowling was poor and Worcestershire scored 224 in the 34 overs which should be too much for Yorkshire.
There were no scorecards at the start of the match but arrived late .There was only 40 provided and I sold them within ten minutes as there was a good crowd.The Yorkshire openers were Sayers and Lyth who could not keep up with the run rate.The best batsman was Alex Lees who scored 49 who was the captain to-day.Yorkshire scored just over 200 for 9 .
The weather was warm and this is the first Yorkshire match since 22 May at York that seems a long time ago.I did win the raffle and won a tin of biscuits.
