Ansty fielding a team with 5 new players new to 40 over cricket, batted well amassing an impressive total of 213 for 7 off their 40 overs. A good innings of 125 NO by Ellen Burt was supported well by the rest of the team with Flora Bertwistle getting 15. Sidcup and Bexley were under pressure from the start as the rain began to fall, and were skittled out for 21 in 14 overs. Wickets for Ellen Burt 5, Phoebe Western 2, and 1 each for Flora Berwistle and vice-captain Bronwen Menzies combined to make it a fantastic team performance. Ansty face Worthing Chippendale at home in the cup next weekend.
