It was a thrilling end to a tiresome game for both sides as Carter Wright managed to hold his nerve and deliver a last over going for 5 runs and taking 1 wicket in the process.

Batting

The U10 girls had a great evening at Quality Street.  Epsom arrived with 4 strong pairs to get the game underway. Winning the toss and putting Merstham in to bat, our first pair faced some good straight deliveries. A few well placed shots but a few making it through to the stumps. Our batting innings saw us put on 73 runs but 9 wickets down meant we were defending 228 (pairs scoring gets complicated)

The run Chase got off to a fast start with Epsom hitting a few boundaries in quick succession. The Merstham girls fielded well and chased the ball hard limiting the runs wherever they could.  Despite a few late wickets, Epsom were able to put on 119 runs finishing the game 299/4. 
The Merstham girls are extremely excited for their next game and are looking forward to putting into practice some of the The valuable lessons they picked up during the game

Under cloudy skies and threat of rain, our U12 team hosted local rivals Salfords at the Ring in an evening game of pairs cricket. Winning the toss and bravely electing to bowl first in worsening light, Salfords' opening bowlers gave a hint of what was to come as our opening pair of Harrison T and Archie H struggled with the lack of pace and bounce, scoring 17 off 4 overs for the loss of 5 wickets, a net score of -8. Our next pair of Oli M and Hugo B managed to survive their 4 overs without loss, adding 11 as we broke even. Lucy M and Matthew K added a further 10 for the loss of 1 wicket, and Casper D and Flynn RP continued the mini revival adding net 7 with some imaginative running. Our net score was just 15 from 16 overs, going onto the final pair. Thomas B and Yousaf S showed good intent against Salfords' final pair of bowlers adding 24 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. Merstham finished on 79-9, a net score of just 34.

The Under 8s had their first matches on Saturday 16th May, with a home fixture against Epsom and an away fixture at Oxted. Whilst we came second in both matches, there was some great batting and bowling and the children were all brilliant. Thanks to all the parents who helped umpire, score and organise the matches. We have a great (and full) squad this year, so hopefully we have many more great matches to come!
