Featuring a number of players who were in last year's under-16s, they had to field first after Yorkshire opted to bat. White made 74, but no one else got going against some canny bowling, once again led by the very talented Rubaiyat Abrar, who returned the excellent figures of 4-39 in his ten overs.
He was well supported by fellow spinner Umayr Hewitt, formerly in the Yorkshire age groups, who took 2-17.
The final score of 213 did not look too demanding and Derbyshire got off to a quick start, thanks to Abrar and Oscar Edwards. Although the latter and captain Niall McHale both perished with the score on 61, Zak Kelly, fresh from a good knock for Clifton yesterday and Theo Brown came together in a splendid unbroken partnership of 156 in just 20 overs.
Yorkshire used eight bowlers in an attempt to break through, but Kelly finished unbeaten on 74 from 66 deliveries, while Brown was still there on 76 from just 59 balls. The two of them took their side to victory with eighteen overs to spare.
The game was a friendly, but it further highlights the talent coming through the club's Pathway.
They will be worth watching in the summer ahead.
