Normally Two Sheds produces a summary of the second team performance on his blog. However, he wasn’t playing this week so I have taken up the challenge. As you may note by the time of this report, it is a little on the early side - even by our team’s standards!
The weather has not been good for most sports this week, however Saturday started bright and the forecasted rain seemed to have avoided us. Great! If it has not made it by 10 the forecast seemed to indicate that the afternoon would be dry. The bright morning soon started to bruise with a crack or two of thunder.
It might have been dark, but still no rain. Then the phone rang - der Kapitän - to say that the match was off. The Cawood captain had set off from York in positive mood that it was dry, only to get to Cawood to find the streets flooded and the pitch under a puddle. As I put the phone down the sky opened in York and water poured.
At least it was an early call and now I have rest of the day to myself.
Hopefully the rain will get blown away for Monday as it is the Roses Twenty20 at Headingley Carnegie. It is sell out match which should be a great experience as I have never been to a Twenty20 match before (except for a couple of second team matches :-)).
