Under 11 Girls lose against Kent

On Sunday 19th June Essex U11 girls hosted Kent girls at Brentwood School. The Essex girl’s side include a pupil from Brentwood Prep and a girl selected from the Essex Youth Games the previous day.

The Essex captain again won the toss and invited Kent to bat.

Quick running between the wickets by the Kent openers pushed the run rate along until the Essex bowlers started to get wickets. As always the Essex bowling was of a high standard but at times their fielding let them down. Essex restricted Kent to 110 for 8 from their 25 overs.

In reply the Essex openers got their side off to a great start and they looked like they would overtake the Kent score in no time. However it was not to be, the Kent bowlers tightened up their line and their fielders improved causing Essex to loose four quick wickets. Essex never recovered from this and ended the day on 89 for 9.
