Fresh off his ICC Americas Under 17 Tri-Series performance Bermudian Marcus Scotland scored 63 for Surrey at the prestigious Taunton Festival in Somerset, England.
The 13-year-old opening batsman recorded two low scores in the first two matches but rebounded in style against Devon batting in the uncustomary position of number seven. Surrey Under 13s were tentatively placed at 140-5 before Scotland and Alex Lewis who scored 58 combined for a six-wicket partnership of 75.
However, Scotland's efforts were not enough as Devon passed the score with 8 balls to spare chasing 257 in the 50-over match. The tournament concludes on Friday with matches against Hampshire and Lancashire to come.
