U160s flying high |
|
31
January 2010 17:21:39A narrow home win over Middlesex, by 8½-7½, kept Essex flying high at the top of the U160 division, now with 3/3. In the other games, Kent 8-8 Surrey and Sussex 9-7 Herts (three defaults by the visitors due to train delays), left Essex's nearest rivals, Surrey and Middlesex, each with 1½/3. Surrey, away, are the next opponents for the U160 team, on 13th Feb. Details...

Essex break their duck |
|
