During the May half term, the Merstham U12s embarked on an exciting tour to Kent—an adventure full of cricket, team bonding, and memorable moments. Some families stayed in the area, while others joined the group for the day, creating a brilliant mix of commitment and camaraderie.

Tuesday began with a meet-up at Claremont School for an indoor nets session. With rain falling outside, this turned out to be the perfect solution to kick off the tour. Unfortunately, our scheduled afternoon match against Tenterden CC had to be cancelled due to the wet weather. But spirits remained high as the team gathered for a lively evening curry in Tenterden, where Coach Pat hosted a fun-filled quiz that kept everyone entertained.

 

Merstham’s under-11’s side fell to defeat on their international debut, as Switzerland’s batting power prevailed on a sunny Friday morning at Quality Street.

There was a wicket for Merstham in the first over though, as Sid Huggins bowled out Misra to get the hosts off to the perfect start.

How the day will work:

 
 

Last match of the indoor season against table toppers Horley CC and a chance to turn last weeks 2nd place into 1st!

MCC were put into bat and openers Alice and Emma maintained a steady run rate with help from the Horley bowlers who helped the run rate along with some uncharacteristic wayward bowling. Alice was the first out for a rather dashing 16 & in came Skipper Ali full of running and cheeky 3s off the wall.  Emma retired 27* and in came swashbuckling Claire with not many overs left who soon had the crowd on their feet with a lovely straight 6 interspersed with a few 1s and 3s. Claire's innings came to end with one ball to go and in came Amy who went for the single but was run out (I mean, you HAVE to go for the single off the last ball right!). MCC set the Oppo 132 to win.
 
Amy and Alice opened the bowling with some nice tight bowling and the Oppo were feeling the pressure as the pressure started turning into wickets, 5 run outs in total! The fielding was sublime, no quarter asked and none given! Bat 3 (Naomi) and bat 5 (Martha) steadied the innings with some very powerful shots from Naomi who retired 25* and in came the last bat (Ella) who got them even closer to MCCs score before being run out for 14.  That left Naomi as the single bat left with 12 needed off the last over.  Naomi didn't hang about, 2 balls, 2 6s and that was that.

 

Our fifth indoor match saw us face a very strong Horley side in a top of the table clash.

We won the toss and chose to bowl. Once again our fielding was strong and we managed two run outs. We bowled well with Alice being the standout. But a couple of their players managed to score a few sixes which gave us a pretty big target of 141.
