It is with the greatest sadness that we have to report the passing on Christmas Eve after a short illness of Gaby Mendis, wife of former club stalwart Dil Mendis and mother to their sons Daniel and Alexander. 

Peter Loosley, long time member of the club and one of Dil's contemporaries, remembers:

The club will be open on Christmas Eve to usher in the festive period.

Start your Christmas with the Merstham CC family, bar open from 5pm, mulled wine and snacks.

Notice is given that the Merstham Cricket Club Annual General Meeting will be held on Sunday 12th January 2025 at The Pavilion, Quality Street. The meeting will start at 6pm.
 
Members should advise Dee Hugo, Club Secretary, in writing of any other business to be moved at the meeting at least 14 days before the meeting.
 
Nominations of candidates for election of Officers should be made in writing to the Secretary at least 14 days in advance of the Annual General Meeting. Nominations can only be made by full members and must be seconded by another full member.

It is not every day you open your inbox to find an email from the Marylebone CC inviting you and your cricket team to play at Lord’s. What an honour. We had less than four weeks’ notice to get time off work, fast track our new kit order and sort out what smart attire we were going to wear for access into the Pavilion and the famous Long Room!

On 17th May, the Marylebone CC hosted their annual Women’s Day at Lord’s cricket ground which is a celebration of Women’s cricket around the world. This year they wanted to focus on the incredible club cricket that is being played every day across the UK. Merstham Women were put forward by a Surrey County cricket administrator who advised that we had a ‘vibrant women’s softball team’ and of course won in 2022 and were runners up last year in the county softball champs.

An overcast sky welcomed the U12’s to The Ring where they were to face Salfords in the first league game of the 2024 season.  

Winning the toss and electing to field, Will ‘Buckers’ Buckley set an aggressive field and threw the ball to Jack Tyte who set the tone for the innings, sending down 6 sharp deliveries and restricting the Salfords openers to 2 runs.

The club is pleased to announce the launch of our new digital membership cards.

By scanning your membership card at the bar you will received a membership discount on your bar tab.

Sadly due to recent spate of wet weather, we have been unable to do a lot of the pre-season prep work so, sadly, we have had to cancel both Friday night training and the cricket matches due this weekend.

However, it would still be great if people could come along on Friday or Saturday to help with the remaining jobs shown here.
