This sounds great - if we put in a similar day at Southwick Cricket Club would we get enough girls to support it ?

Second XI Saturday 30th July vs St Peters
Inspirational 2nd team game on Saturday at Brighton university – A team with 4 juniors and most of the rest of the team well over 50 it was a strange combination but the performance leaped the age gap and delivered a joined-up performance.
Fielding first Southwick struggled to break through with the Christian Lloyd and Ewan Gendre (Chewie) pace attack but intuitive Shar captaincy brought young Harry Craic into bowl and within 2 over he had removed the opposition's most stubborn resistance. At the other end Barnsey kept turning his arm over and eventually gathered a couple wickets as did Chewie and Jhian. Shar also had a spectacular run out and took a catch on the boundary that saved a six both events belied his age and set by example the performance he expected from the rest of the team. Sam Ross keeping wicket for the first time in 30 years was solid and whilst his back and hands may ache, he had many fine stops and a good catch to remember.

When we came out to bat a slow and unspectacular start unselfishly set the foundation for others to perform, and so they did. Freddie Ross brought stability to the innings with a fine technical display showing maturity beyond his years and when the middle order arrived, they delivered. Exotic in name only Jhian hit a controlled half century + supported by Chewie 20 and Christian our usual No 11 being promoted to No 9 hit a seasons best 32. These were the only double figure scores otherwise the result may have been very different as the team lost by 20 odd runs. MoTM went to Jhian as a 50 is rare in division 12 and the other younger players have time on their side to notch up big scores.
Great afternoon very enjoyable.
