Sussex Sharks v Durham Dynamos - 30/06/04
|
The 2004 Summer Outing coincided with the forming of the Sussex Barmy Army. It was a fantastic day out, as the cricket followers among us joined together for the first Day-Night game of the season, shown live on Sky Sports. Made all the better by Sussex picking up their second Totesport League win of the season - the highlight of which was Matt Prior smashing his maiden century. Here are the days photos! |
