Essex U17 Girls v Devon Under 17 Girls 2011

On July 23rd at the County Ground, Chelmsford, Devon won the toss and decided to bat. A second wicket partnership of 59 between Amara Carr and Becky Bertrand suggested that Devon might post a good total. However, the introduction of left arm over bowler Zoe Quested led to a mid innings collapse when Devon lost six wickets for the addition of 14 runs. That Devon got to 140 was mainly due to 14 year-old Cait O’keefe who played an attacking yet sensible innings of 23. Zoe Quested finished with 5 for 38 and Leanne Tigg bowled with accuracy and intelligence for 2 for 19.

 

Essex’s reply was dominated by opener Bryony Butcher who made a well judged 67 not out. Her innings ensured victory despite Devon whittling away with accurate bowling and keen fielding. Alice Johnson took 3 for 32 and Emily Adams 2 for 25.
 

Essex 144-6 (Bryony Butcher 67*, Payal Patel 22; Alice Johnson 3-32) beat Devon 140 all out (Amara Carr 28, Cait O’Keefe 23; Zoe Quested 5-38) by 4 wickets
