Yeadon gained just the one point from their weekend's double bill but spectators saw some exciting cricket.

At Bradford and Bingley on Saturday they were met by a near perfect wicket and a fast outfield and although stand-in skipper Jon Henry found it to his liking there was little support.

Yeadon soon lost opener Naeem Khan for six but James Todd kept Henry company for a spell in making 26.

Henry hammered 4 sixes and 7 fours in a fine innings of 81 but his side failed to take advantage and lost five wickets in progressing the score by nine runs in mid innings.

A poor showing when runs were there for the taking.

The venerable Richard McCarthy came on to pick up three wickets and apply the brake so instead of building on Jon Henry's fine example the Yeadon innings tailed away.

Yeadon got early encouragement when Carl Sharp was run out without scoring but former Burley-in-Wharfedale batsman Chris Wheeler produced another good knock in his first season in the Bradford League.

He crafted 43 before surrendering to a catch by wicketkeeper Jake Wray off the bowling of workhorse Chris Henry.

With John Roper sidelined by injury much of the burden is falling on Henry's uncomplaining shoulders and he is certainly stacking up the overs.

He made another breakthrough when he had Sam Anderson caught by his brother James. Anderson, the son of Yeadon airport director Ed Anderson, did little to appease his father whose car had been struck by a six from Henry in the Yeadon innings.

Young Sam was dismissed for 14 and when Mark Beckett went for four Bingley looked to be dithering.

That man McCarthy however never surrenders and he produced a superb 65 which carried Bradford and Bingley to the brink of victory, a job finished by Rob Walker with 39 not out.

On Sunday Yeadon faced the might of Bradley Parker's bat. The former Yorkshire player smote a hard hitting 126 as Gomersal totalled 208-8 declared.

An hour's play was lost to rain so Gomersal declared after 40 overs.

Parker's innings included 8 sixes and 11 fours and the only man able to quieten him was slow bowler Naeem Khan who took 3-42.

Yeadon at one stage looked on course for victory with James Henry becoming an unlikely opener. He crashed 57 with 2 sixes and 7 fours and together with Naeem Khan looked to be setting Yeadon up for victory.

Yeadon however have too many players who only play as and when and such players do not have the touch needed to keep the momentum going, too many dot balls leading to Yeadon's downfall in the end.

Players in good nick would have been able to see them through but in the end it was a good game of cricket, entertaining for the spectators.

Yeadon Seconds gave a diabolical performance on Saturday going from 30-0 and 35-2 to 39 all out. Seven players failed to score as Andy Wilsdon and J Din each bagged 5-14. Undercliffe knocked off the runs with four wickets down.

Things were much better on Sunday in a drawn game at Bradford and Bingley where Tony Gilks hammered 149 not out and Darren Smith got a half-century.
