Essex Under 11 Girls lose to Sussex
Essex U11 girls team travelled to the picturesque
Lancing College in Sussex on Sunday 10th July to play Sussex
girls. After a close match in the home fixture Essex, with
two realist, hoped to turn the tables on their hosts.
Batting first Sussex put a reasonable score together of
122 for 4 off their allotted 25 overs, Essex fielded and
batted well but the hard hitting Sussex batters found the
boundary on a number of occasions.
With a reasonable batting line up Essex were confident that
the 122 would not be a problem. They had not however bargained
for the accurate bowling of the Sussex attack.
Essex lost wickets at a regular pace ending with just 41
all out. A very disappointing batting performance after
such improved bowling and fielding left Essex well and truly
beaten.
