Heavy rain had the final say when the YG’s hosted Hull Old Grammarians at Escrick on Sunday.
Contrast of the Senior YG batsmen David O’Kelly and Geoff Barker (right) coming off at lunch 79-0, with the younger generation at declaration -Simon Tolson and Danny Cameron(41no).
Batting first the veteran openers of David O’Kelly (56) and Geoff Barker (46) shared a solid 97 run partnership and set the innings up for a run a ball knock by Danny Cameron to provide late impetus and take the YG’s innings to 180-3 declared.
In reply The Hull Grammarians were nicely set at 78-2 off 19 overs before the rain intervened and play was finally called off at 5.45pm.
Another enjoyable match - a real shame it could not run its course.
The YG’s take on the Leicestershire Gents tomorrow - let’s hope the rain stays away.
