Under 18s robbed by the rain

Derbyshire under 18s will feel robbed of a win today, when the Plate final against Essex was abandoned as no result. 

The rain came after Essex had been bowled out for 133. They were cruising at 66-1, which rapidly became 68-5 with the advent of Matt Stewart and Rubaiyat Abrar. Each took two wickets and the ever-impressive pair finished with 4-18 and 2-27 respectively. Captain Joe Hawkins didn't come on to bowl until the thirtieth over, but finished with 1-8 in the six overs he bowled.

I understand that the trophy is shared, but Derbyshire will at least claim a moral victory after an impressive bowling and fielding performance.

Well done lads!
