Youth cricket round-up: Wisbech Under-13s beaten in cup quarter-final
WISBECH Under-13s crashed out of the MCC Spirit of Cricket Cup quarter-final with a 47-run defeat to Bottisham-Lode Under-13s.
Harrison Smith and Edward Page were the only Wisbech wicket-takers as the home side posted a solid 124 from their 20 overs.

Wisbech Under-14s had more success - beating Long Sutton by three wickets in a nervy, low-scoring contest.
Brodie Ellis (2-11), Harry Clarke (2-19) and Pat Reeve (2-6) were the chief destroyers as Wisbech restricted the visitors to 78-8 from their 20 overs.
