We as a club community are sad to announce today, on what would have been her birthday, the death of another club stalwart, Barbara Ryder.

While cricket activity - playing and practising - remains suspended after last night's announcement by the Government, we will be holiding a second Covid-19 Cricket Tea with a Difference, to support local charities.

We had fantastic support from members and the local community on May 2, for our Covid-19 Cricket Tea with a Difference - so we are holding another this Saturday, May 16 from 2-5pm.

Hundreds of items were collected at Merstham Cricket Club by members and the community for two food banks and the Stripey Stork charity on Saturday.

A Covid-19 cricket tea (with a difference) on Saturday 2nd May 2020, 1pm to 5pm.

Dear Members,

Merstham Cricket Club is applying to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for consent under section 38 of the Commons Act 2006 to carry out restricted works on Earlswood Common. The Planning Inspectorate will decide the application on behalf of the Secretary of State.

The proposed works are: For a rear extension to the cricket pavilion, to provide equipment storage.

Merstham Cricket Club continues to be guided by the England and Wales Cricket Board regarding health and safety and the coronavirus.

We have now been told by the ECB that all forms of cricket activity - from indoor training to matches and social gatherings - must be suspended. Therefore there will be no further sessions at St Bede's (adults and junior boys) or the Royal Alexandra and Albert School (girls). The indoor cricket leagues have also now closed.

As Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to dominate the headlines, at Merstham Cricket Club we want to share with you the latest set of guidelines that the ECB, via Sport England, has advised us to follow.

We are sure that many of your work places, too, will have adopted and shared the Government's advice.

With a question mark hanging over this year's cricket season, Merstham had to take every opportunity they were offered and for the U15s, who got off to a flying start with victory in their Friendly Indoor Cricket competition on Sunday March 8.

Registration for the 2020 season is now open. We require ALL members to register every year to ensure we have up-to-date details in our records and for insurance purposes.

Please note, at the AGM on the 19th January, an increase in membership fees was agreed, you can view the new fee structure on this page.

Our winter nets at St Bede's School, Redhill, will run for 10 weeks, from Saturday and Sunday February 1 and 2 - and it will soon be time to be thinking about Cricket Force and preparing our grounds for the season.
