Cricket: 2nds suffer heavy defeat

Posted on June 2, 2011

The Bray 2nd XI succumbed to a heavy defeat against high flying North Crawley on Saturday.

Fielding first Crawley racked up 280-3 with a club record 169 from batsman Mitford and 71 from Goss being the stand out innings. Joe Roff was the only bowler to retrun figures of credibility with 2-34 off 8 overs.

In reply, despite Ollie Wilson's defiant stand in attempting a draw, the only other players to hit double figures were skipper Kerins (19), former captain David Wheeler (10) as the home side took frequent wickets to leave Bray 69 all out.
