Fletching won by 10 runs

Haywards Heath won the toss and batted first under a decidedly dodgy looking sky. We bowled very tightly indeed and took all chances, leaving Haywards Heath with a total of 221. The skies then opened, but as luck would have it the weather cleared up long enough for us to bat.

Haywards Heath proved to be a very effective bowling side and were it not for a strong partnership between George Pickard and George E-T we could have been in trouble. As it was we just held out to win by a margin of just 10 runs.

Much to learn from the game boys, not least the importance of not giving your wicket away cheaply; if it’s a good ball, play straight.

Well done to all.
