Pathway Teams Take on MCC at Lord's

Sussex Pathway Teams Experience the Joy of Playing at Lord's 

On Wednesday 23rd July players on the girls Under 13 Pathway had the exciting opportunity to play at Lord's against an MCC U13 team.

The Sussex girls played 2 x T20 games and the first game was a chance for the girls to settle their nerves. The second game showed some great skills from the girls under pressure to be able to recover from 15-5 to get up to 101 and claim a valuable draw.

On Sunday 27th July it was the turn of our boys Under 13 State School Pathway Players to visit and play at Lord's.

Again, Sussex played two back-to-back Twenty20s which ended one win apiece, with Sussex comfortably chasing 83 in the first game.

Sussex were chasing it off 14-overs with 2 wickets down with two of our players being not out at the end. 

The MCC returned the favour in game two, with Sussex setting 104-9. MCC reached the target in the 18th over, despite the best efforts of the Sussex opening bowlers.

To have the chance to play on the Nursery Ground at Lord's is usually only ever a once in a lifetime opportunity for anyone, and to have that chance at Under 13 is amazing. 

The players not only had that inspirational chance to play, but were able to walk round the pavilion, changing rooms and media centre creating memories they'll never forget.
