Women's Surrey CC league, Race 2, Cranford

Belles crash

For the first time in a long while the Belles failed to turn out a full team of five and suffered the penalty of having the maximum scoring points added to their score. So in spite of Sarah Murphy's continued forward running the team crashed to =14th on the day and tumbled down the league table from 2nd to 7th.

There was good news in the Under 15 age group, however, where Megan Evans moved up from 10th in match 1 to 3rd here. Jo Foxley made a similar dramatic improvement and as a result they placed 7th as a team. Just a couple more girls in this age group and we could be challenging for a team win!
