SUSSEX HEAD THE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE THE FIRST TIME IN 21 YEARS
London, July 21.
Sussex, striving to win the County Championship for the first time, went to the top of the table for the first time for 21 years by defeating Hampshire by 93 runs,
The eighth win for the season gave them 116 points, four points ahead of Surrey, the reigning Champions, whose win over Leicestershire was also their eighth of the season.
Both sides stepped over Middlesex who, not engaged in a Championship game, remained at 110 points in third place, Glamorgan, County Champions for the Brst time in 1948, are having bad luck in this season's challenge.
