Junior County Match versus Sussex

Representatives from the Junior County Squad travelled to Hastings on Sunday 30th November 2008 to play Sussex.  17 players and 3 coaches took the Wightbus for the 2 hour trip.  80 games were played in all, with the Island players running out overall winners by 43-37.  This has to be seen as a superb result for the Island teams as Sussex are a very well-established squad.

The games were all played in an atmosphere of really good spirit and the attitude from both teams was extremely positive.  We are anticipating a return match in January – Island venue to be decided.
