Sunday, one, August 2021.

at queenswood drive, home of Kirkstall Education cc,  for the waddilove cup final. played for by teams in the airedale and wharfedale cricket league. where rawdon, 3rd in the 1st division take on poole in wharfedale, 2nd in division 2. rawdon beat div one table toppers salt aire in the semi final, whilst poole vanquished top flight opposition in addingham. rawdon warmed up for this one with a  278   run win over beckwithshaw yesterday, racking up 412 for 2 in the process,  with ben morley casually  smoting  237 not out off 165 balls. rawdon batting first. excellent crowd in exess  of 700.

 into the 2nd innings here at queenswood drive. rawdon racked up an impressive 339 for 7 off their alloted 50 overs. man of the moment ben morley taking  his weekend's run scoring aggrigate to 436, unluckily ran out on 199, going for a 3rd run to bring up his double tun. george myres myers next top score with 52. poole have made a promising start however,  and are 70 for 1 in the 14th over. ben morley taking the first catch, and he's now bowling too. you can't keep him out of the action, so it seems. Results from yesterday's action at Queenswood Drive.and rawdon it is, who are waddilove cup champions 2021. poole made a valiant effort, but were always up against the scoreboard, and succumbed on 296 all out to lose by 43 runs. they were always behind the rate from the get go, but krutik patel, hit a beligerent knock of 142 before he was 5th out. in tandem with will pallister, 52, they kept the game alive for as long as they could. man of the moment ben morley followed up his 199 with 4 for 43. an aggrigate of 635 runs in the day, excellent bar, food and organisation from kirkstall eddies and a crowd in exess of 700. great stuff. today's adversaries being only 5 miles apart, although earlier rumours of fisticuffs amongst their rival cricket firms in the nearby jet 2 departure lounge of leeds and bradford airport were very much wide of the mark.
