KENT WIN FINAL IN A CANTER
FINAL - 9TH SEPTEMBER AT HORSHAM CRICKET CLUB
Surrey batted first against Kent in the Final at Horsham on a superb batting wicket. The Surrey innings got off to a slow start and the lack of tempo in the early stage of the innings proved crucial. After 30 overs the score stood at 105-1. Surrey then accelerated taking their score to 250-3 in their 45 overs - probably 40 or 50 runs short of a challening total. Opener C Evans scored 100 and A cummins scored 51 as they added 125 for the second wicket.
In reply Jim Howgego and Keith Wooding added 74 for the first wicket at a good rate. Howgego playing behind square on the off-side with aplomb. Taylor then score 51 as the total was taken to 158-2. Howgego carried on his serene progress to 112* at off 116 balls as Kent reached their target with only 2 wickets down and with nearly 4 overs to spare.
Chris Mendham (Kent) picked up the Best Bowler award for his 1-27 from his full allocation of 9 overs and Jim Howgego picked up the Best Batsman award for his sublime century. Both these awards were provided Kreeda, the match ball suppliers for this competition.
