Under 17 competitions

posted by John Winn

The Under 17 County Championship final is being played at Arundel this week and at the end of the second day Surrey are well on top of their opponents Lancashire. Winning the toss and batting first Surrey were all out for 415 with Euan Woods top scoring with 141and skipper Angus Dahl run out for 88. Lancashire's reply of 246 was led by 'keeper George Lavelle with 56 until he too was run out. Surrey batted again and overnight are 76 for 2, a lead of 245. Alas the forecast for West Sussex for today is very poor and the Brown Caps are unlikely to be able to force a complete victory but if the game is drawn Surrey will win on first innings. There has been no play before lunch.

The final of the Under 17 One Day Cup is being played at Kibworth (pictured below) on Sunday with Surrey in action against Durham, they may fare a little better with the weather.
