Match report

A younger Grannies side cantered to a comfortable victory against the London New Zealand XI at Sheffield Park.
The Grannies put the Kiwis into bat,bowling them out for 161 within 32 overs following a tight and energetic performance in the field. Wickets were shared out equally between Will Pickford, Tom Morrissey and Michael S-W. Special mention must go to Morrissey for some very skillful bowling,for which LNZ's middle to lower order didn't really have an answer.
Alec Younger opened up and spearheaded our chase with a chanceless 80 not out, continuing his stellar season. A strong result (despite being two mean short) against a good opposition at a beautiful ground. Thank you to all involved.

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.
