Both counties finished with one win each from the two T20 matches that took place.

Lincolnshire rallied well to win the second of the day’s games, having been well beaten in the first. Lincolnshire restricted Norfolk to 108 in game two, largely thanks to Lillian Fraser-Cattanach’s superb spell of bowling, returning figures of four wickets for eight runs from her four overs.

In reply Lincolnshire got home at a canter for the loss of just one wicket, Emmie Sorby starring with 57 not out to see Lincolnshire over the line.

For the boys, the U13s faced off against a strong Nottinghamshire side and, despite a solid start, came up against an in-form middle order who powered Notts to a total of 247 from their 40 overs.

In reply Lincolnshire’s innings struggled to get going, eventually finishing at 114 all out from 37 overs, T. Beevers top-scoring with 27 to go with his two wickets in the first innings.

For the U14s it was a much closer affair, again against Norfolk.

Lincolnshire batted first and made a competitive 178 all out from 35 overs.
