A STRONG Hutton U11 team has won the Essex Cricket Board Central District U11 Cup with a convincing victory over Chelmsford.
Hutton were fielding six boys who play in county age group teams, one county age group girl and two boys who play for the central district.
Hutton won the toss and elected to bat. They were given a great start by Mihir Mehrotra and Mason Allington, who ran singles and twos at every opportunity. Long boundaries meant fours were hard to hit but nevertheless the score mounted and Mehrotra was first out for 23. Joseph Parry joined Allington and they continued to score at a good rate.
The last four overs of the innings saw some big hitting and a flurry of fours and a huge six from Mason.
Hutton finished with a big total of 163 from their 20 overs. Allington batted superbly for a personal best 90 and Parry contributed 36.
Hutton put pressure on Chelmsford from the first ball and took wickets at regular intervals with eight bowlers used and the wickets shared around. Chelmsford scored a total of 65.
The Hutton squad was Will Steinberg (C), Joseph Parry, Mason Allington, Mihir Mehrotra, Cam Tredgett, Harry Dudman, Lawrence Griffiths, Amy Hills, Chris Willoughby, Toby Day, Tom Debenham.
