The Magics, Merstham's disability side, took part in the Essex League tournament at the county ground in Chelmsford, playing matches against sides from Harold Wood and Chelmsford & Basildon.

They set to the task with huge enthusiasm and took the honours in both their games, winning the first eight-over pairs match by seven runs and the second by a massive 58 runs.

Merstham's first team took a vital win to keep alive their chances of staying in the Surrey Championship, by defeating the only team below them - Weybridge Vandals.

WIth the season drawing slowly to a close, it's time to think about celebrating our successes by attending the annual dinner dance - our formal end to the year. It is our formal end of season event, bringing all members of the club and other halves together - junior, senior and parents - together. The events consist of a three-course meal and dancing at £35 per head. Arrive 7.15pm to sit down to eat at 8pm. The event runs until midnight. To book a place or a table, please contact Richard Feist on 07896 114068 or via the email address on the poster.

The Cricket Playing Survey is ECB's number one opportunity to listen to the views of players.

We have tickets available for the following two matches:

Tickets are free to all members (including juniors and parents) and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Defeat at Kempton, who are pushing for promotion, leaves second-bottom Merstham's first team perilously positioned in the Surrey Championship Division Five.

Merstham slipped to a defeat at Horsley & Send, which leaves them precariously balanced in the Surrey Championship Division Five.

Through our affiliation with Surrey County Cricket Club, we have 50 tickets for the Surrey vs Somerset T20 match on Tuesday 27th August. Play starts at 6:30pm at The Oval.

The tickets are free and will be allocated, on a first come, first served, basis to any member who has registered and paid their membership subs, and are limited to 2 per member.

Merstham Cricket Club has been presented with a certificate to show that it received a grant from the ECB for the Cricket World Cup Fund.

With England hosting the World Cup this year, clubs were able to apply for grants to improve their facilities by way of celebration. The club applied for a grant to spend on a glass washer for the bar, which we are sure you will agree has been a great success - especially if you have served behind the bar! We thank the ECB for its continued support during this summer, one in which England brought home the World Cup Trophy after a dramatic final at Lord's.

Merstham Cricket Club has achieved Clubmark status yet again, after much hard work by club officials led by Bernard Feist.
