Result - The Bar of England and Wales

Sun Jun 30th Grannies defeated by a strong Bar side

Match report

Saturday's match for the Bar and the bacchanalian revelries that usually follow not having happened this year, the Bar were fresher on Sunday than other years, but they were strong too. Batting first the formidable combination of AdM (59) and Ed Gross (40) quickly piled it on and in no time the 35 overs were up and they had 222 for 8, despite Harvey Park's highly commendable 6-0-36-4.
In reply Dan Burton had one of those days when the near misses turned into hits and figures of 7-1-21-3 did not flatter him, and on his coat-tails GLee got in on the act registering 6.2-1-28-2. Park H carried his bowling form into his batting and made 46 stylishly, but, despite some lusty blows from Sachin, Will Dunn and debutant Mohsin Butt, the Grannies could muster no more than 112 and the dragon was slain.

How to get there
It lies midway between East Grinstead and Lewes, 5 miles north west of Uckfield, on the east side of the A275 (between A272 and A22).

Use the main entrance off the A275, signed Sheffield Park and Garden. Follow the sign to the visitors car park. Continue past the car park through the two sets of wooden gates. If the gates are locked the number for the padlocks is 1111.

Once through the bottom gate, follow the track around to the left and you will see the signs marked "Armadillos CC Car Park". Please park within the signs; you should not park beyond the final sign stating that parking is not allowed beyond that point. You may however drive up to the pavilion to drop off any equipment, but must then return to the designated car park straight away. You will see the ground (and the pavilion) through the trees from the car park. The ground is surrounded by a deer fence but the gates through it will be unlocked.
