The morning was spent with some “Coco like” aimless wandering on the streets & beaches of Bridlington & then the short drive up to the ground to await the rest of the team, who all arrived late after, what Dobby described as  a “nightmare” drive. The home team happened to have a 12^th man so we pinched him and we were “allowed” to bat 1^st. The batting order was determined by who was ready & so Dale in an unaccustomed Jesters role & debutant Andy Vinall (who had made it from Sheffield without any problem) started us off. Unfortunately for Andy his 1^st innings in Jesters colours ended very quickly with a 1^st baller. On a “lively” wicket Dale held the innings together until drinks & then everybody else chipped in to get us to a respectable total. We were not helped by one of our own players:- Dale making a rare appearance as a umpire found delight in distracting the other batters & Dobby in particular found trying to bat while laughing impossible!
