Surrey crowned HTT Champs... Will anyone beat them?

Nov 3, 2009

Four London county squads recently came together to play each other in the recent ‘Hit the Top’ MLD County 2009 competition at the Indoor School at the home of cricket, Lord's.

Essex, Middlesex, Kent and the defending champs Surrey played each other in 8 over matches with 6 players in a team.

Following the first round match results we were set up with these exciting semi-finals:

Surrey vs. Middlesex

Kent vs. Essex

In the first semi, Surrey showed why they are the force they are by whipping Middlesex in no time! A solid knock from Jay Ali of West Lea School, Middlesex saved some embarrassment for the North Londoners but with some really strong all round performances from the Surrey crew, they captured a place in yet another final!

The second semi was a lot closer; Essex posted a good score for Kent to chase down and an amazing onslaught by Chris Lodge of Penge Dragon School, saw Kent home with 2 over’s to spare.

In the final, Kent were looking to topple defending champs Surrey.  

Kent set a challenging score for Surrey to chase! Kent must have been hopefull following some early wickets but a good knock from Surrey's Jon Gale brought the defending champs home yet again!
