Herschel makes positive Start

Last night saw the first game in this Years Indoor League. Merstham started their season against new team Black and Veatch. Merstham started in the field and tight bowling from Turner and Vincent kept the run rate down. The first wicket came with the score on 40, and Black and Veatch kept the score board slowly ticking over but the introduction of new member Herschel Pant saw three quick wickets and put Merstham in a strong postion for a positive start to the season and they were set the target of 93 to win.

After the early loss of Bennett, Rich and Eddie pushed the score board along with positive running and strong hitting. Eddie got to 25 with out to many problems and this brought Trigger to the crease and he and Rich pushed Merstham towards their target but with 8 needed Rich was caught and Bowled. This only was a minor negatvie as Merstham still reached their target comfortably.

This was a good game to start the season and the introduction of Herschel into Merstham was a positive ahead of hopefully anough positive season for the Club.
