Match type: To be confirmed
Venue: Street End CC

The U13 girls got off to a losing start in the LV county championship against Surrey.

Bowling first, Kent’s bowlers were wayward, bowling too many wides but at the end, were happy to have restricted Surrey to 127 for 9 from 30 overs.

Kent were soon on the back foot as the Surrey opening bowlers reduced them to 16 for 5 inside the first 6 overs. Consolidation was required and this came with the 9th wicket partnership between Phillipa Hemphrey and Grace Franklin who put on 50 before Grace was bowled of the last ball of the innings.

Kent finished on 115 for 9, losing by 12 runs.
