Merstham U13s beat Salfords

With The Ring back in action, Merstham U13s faced local rivals Salfords. Captain Max Yates won the toss and elected to bat first.

 

Two exceptional innings by Yates (29 balls, five fours and one six) and Rowan Smith (30 balls, five fours) saw retirements at 30 runs by both. Tanay Patel then helped get the home team to a great final score of 134-4.

Salfords never looked like reaching their total, with some great bowling by Merstham.  

 

Man of the match Flynn McRobbie took three wickets in four balls, including one caught and bowled. Other wicket-takers were one each for Connor Thorpe, Rowan Smith and Yates.

 

Merstham were also sharp in the field with catches taken by wicketkeeper Josh Kenny, Patel and Thorpe, and run-outs attributed to Yates, McRobbie and Dinuk Jayamanne.
