The final score for Essex in this match just doesn't do justice to the level of hard work put in by the Essex players in this tournament.
A good number of the games were very very close and could have gone either way. However Essex were outgraded by a good few grading
points in all of the games and this finally told in the long run. I feel the players would have learned a lot from this tournament and with the majority
of the team still 3 or 4 years under the u13 age limit things can only improve.
