    Assists Raphinha (17’minutes)

    Leeds United ended their first season back in the Premier League with a fourth successive victory as they comfortably beat relegated West Brom in front of the returning fans at Elland Road.

    Able to watch their side at home in the top-flight for the first time in 17 years, 8,000 Leeds supporters created a suitable party atmosphere to celebrate the club’s stellar campaign, and Marcelo Bielsa’s side produced a fitting finale.

    Goals from Rodrigo, Kalvin Phillips and substitute Patrick Bamford ensured the hosts end the season ninth, after one defeat in their final 11 games.

    Leeds won four in a row in a single Premier League season for the first time since April 2001.

    Leeds’ striker Patrick Bamford scored his 17th Premier League goal of the season, the most by a player for a promoted club in a top-flight campaign since Charlie Austin for QPR in 2014-15 (18).

    Raphinha registered his ninth Premier League assist for Leeds, the first player to do so in a top-flight season for the club since both Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (13) and Harry Kewell (nine) in 1998-99.

    Final league position 9th after 38 games

    In another match that was reduced to 30 overs, another fine knock by James Roche held Speldhurt together to post 136-7. with the only real support from James Flemington (22)

    I got out to bat, but didn’t face a ball, so was 0 not out.

    Just after Pembury chase started, there was a big shower, that made it not possible for the quick bowlers to bowl and through openers Andrew Dawes (45) and (Neil Mobbs 68*), Pembury eased to an 8 wicket victory.

    Today was the second part of the face to face modules for the cricket coaching.

    Today you had to do a session on bowling and batting. We were in the same groups as last week.

    We manage to complete it just before it poured down and I passed to get my ECB Foundation 1 coach level 1.
