Mid Sussex Annual Dinner
Members of the successful East Grinstead squad were delighted to attend the Mid Sussex annual dinner and presentation held at the excellent Ardingly showground.
The squad received the division 1 champions trophy from league officials together with Geof Border, who has just completed seven magnificent years as Chairman of East Grinstead Cricket Club and hands over the reins after the club's most successful season.

The squad, pictured above, were league champions for the first time in the club's history with Staplefield, runners up. Leading run scorer in the top division was Grinstead's Alex Evans (above), who also received the Sussex U21 Player of the Year award.
Valuable innings from Taylor Bradley and Graham Billington were also noted, and in the majority of matches the bowling was too strong for the opposition with an attack of Max Stow, Stuart Simmonds, Wes Richardson, Darren Border and John Thompson being a formidable mixture of pace and spin.

First EGPL event winners
The first EGPL event was won by the Paul Stow franchise after a tense bowl off against Alan Bailey's team.
After a round robin of 5 overs a side matches, 3 teams finished on 2 wins with Geoff Border's team sadly failing to register a single win.
The remaining 3 teams then began a bowl off to decide the winner. Sadly Wayne Varney's team were not able to score a single hit so the winner would be decided by a sudden death bowl off between 2 players from the remaining 2 teams. Both James Adkin and Matt Cox failed to hit the stumps and with Alex Evans hitting with his first attempt - the trophy went to the Stow team.
Thanks to Kristian Hunt and James Adkin for organising the event - see you all again next year.
Winning team players...
Paul Stow: Will Adkin, James Rolley, Gary Kleinvelt, Nathan Bailey, Mickael

Sandy
Ross
It is with deep sadness we have to advise of the sudden death of Sandy Ross whilst playing cricket for Sussex Martlets at St James Montefiore Cricket Club on Wednesday 22 July.
Sandy collapsed in the field and despite the efforts of the paramedics he did not recover.
Sandy was an ardent cricket lover and a true gentleman, he was well known
and respected person for both his knowledge and enthusiasm for the game.
He will be very sadly missed and our condolences go to his family in these
sad times.
