Match Report : Thursday 2nd July 2009

2/07/2009

Horsham batted first at the beautiful ground at Findon where the parched outfield was rapid and held the prospect of a hard toil for the fielding side. The stand out batter was again Ellie Monk who stroked her way to an impressive 21 in the Horsham total of 292 – 3. Extras helped to boost the score underlining how important it is to bowl straight. In reply Findon struggled against the Horsham attack which saw Isabel Carne and Ellie Monk both snatch 2-18. Although Georgina Humphreys failed to take a wicket on this occasion she demonstrated fantastic control in her three overs only conceding eleven runs in all and she has not even reached 10 years of age yet! Jenny Leigh snared two fine catches as well as taking 1 – 9 with the ball. Rebecca Williams took a fine catch to add to her bowling figures of 1 – 9. Horsham were much sharper in the field and gave their bowlers great support as Findon finished on 260 – 7 and were defeated by 32 runs leaving Horsham the only unbeaten team in the West League at present.
