Barbara Parsons gets a black eye at the cricket

Monday 7 July 2008, 7.25pm by Barbara Fitzpatrick, Executive Officer

Barbara Parsons, well known in Sussex ladies’ stoolball, has made the local paper after a cricket ball hit for six at the Sussex county ground in Hove caught her right in the eye.

Barbara says she would have caught the ball if she hadn’t lost it in the floodlights. Ironically, she was watching cricket because her family had told her to try something safer that stoolball.

The full story appeared in the Mid Sussex Times.
