Upperthong a little village on the tops above Holmfirth in fact 950 feet above sea level. Is where I was delivering loam, seed and fertiliser to this afternoon it is always windy up there but today it was still and hissing it down.
Upperthong is a club formed not much more than a dozen years ago, now staging over 100 fixtures a season -a real Cricketing success.
The paddy fields of Kirkstall before I set off to Upperthong.
Some Cricket leagues have cancelled all matches this weekend but not the Aire Wharfe. Sometimes I think to encourage Cricket to be played more flexibility should be applied. How can groundsman especially part time ones have prepared a Cricket pitch this week? Impossible, so the games that take place will hardly be cricket but a game played in the hope of steeling a march on clubs who don't play.
After an exec meeting that ended at 11-15pm I am off to bed now.
Good night.
