Sally Bravo and Sharon Scott smashed their way to an astonishing 308 runs in 15 overs in a Sussex League match.

The Horsted Keynes openers averaged more than 20 runs an over as they hammered the Balcombe bowlers to all parts of the ground... mostly the boundaries!

Bravo, who led the run spree in the Central Division match with an unbeaten 166, hit five sixes and 25 fours, while Scott, who finished with 128 not out, blasted 12 sixes and nine fours.

Horsted Keynes, who have won the league championship five times in the last seven years, are currently chasing a hat-trick of title wins, led by their two big guns.

The team-mates were school friends and previously played for the club's all-conquering junior team.

Bravo just missed another century two days later when she scored 97 as Horsted Keynes kept up their championship bid by beating Handcross.

One player who did do the trick was Easebourne's big-hitter Jayne Bradley.

She cracked 147 and an unbeaten 123 in successive matches in the West Division against Ashington and Clim-ping.

It was a week for big scores. Sarah Downs smacked 153 not out for Stedham against Yapton in the West Division, and Amanda Ridley made 108 not out for Barcombe against Wealden in the Mid Division.

None of the girls, however, could match Nick Jenner, who turned on the style for Stone Cross in the mixed Hailsham League.

Jenner made an incredible 245 not out against Hellingly but only managed 123 not out against Burwash Common!

Amongst all the carnage, Sue Almond produced the best bowling figures of the week.

She took 8-39 as Blackstone bowled their way to victory over Clayton in the Central Division.
