Horsted Keynes will now meet the winners of the East Division League (Stone Cross or United Friends) in the semi-final to be played on Sunday 24 August at Plumpton. Play starts at 2pm.

Lodsworth batted first in the final of the Milland Charity Knock Out competition on 30 July 2008, against their old rivals Milland. Mandy Hill (52) and Yvonne Woodward (45) gave them an excellent start putting on 102 runs before they were both run out in quick succession.
However with such a sound basis, Tracey Kewell (32) and Jane Hyde (46) were able to cut loose and pile on the runs against some indifferent bowling and fielding and the total after 14 overs amounted to an impressive 190.
It required something special from Milland’s openers to challenge this score but Pippa Sherry was bowled in the third over for 6 and Emma Clapham (25) barely got into her stride before being well caught.
Lodsworth continued to bowl and field accurately and competently and although Sue Strike (54) fought valiantly, the Milland innings dwindled to fall well short on 125.
The money raised throughout the competition amounted to over £600 and the winning team chose the new Cancer Day Unit at St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester as their nominated charity.

On a warm but blustery day, Central Division recorded their second success in three years to win the Sussex County Stoolball Divisional Championship at Nutley on Sunday 29 June 2008 as they posted an impressive 363 in their 40 overs.
After a slow start against tight bowling from Verna Lingard (3-39) and Karen Pyke (2-97) and some good close fielding, Central Division blossomed in the second twenty overs as Karen Taylor (124) and Sharon Scott (109) recorded confident centuries. Quick scoring, led by Julie Gravett (61), particularly in the last 10 overs took Central Division to an impressive final score of 363.
The asking rate of just over 9 an over eventually proved too much for Mid Division as they battled their way to 297 against some attacking bowling from Julie Gravett and Adele McPhie who both took 4 wickets.
For Mid Division, Heidi Gravett (65) and Carla Lynch (42) led a spirited reply with good support from Ali Chambers (31), Susie Clapp (25) and Karen Pyke (21). This was Mid Division’s first appearance in the county final for 15 years and their performance promises much for the future.
Brett Butler took some excellent photos from the championship.
