Merstham will host the following Surrey games at Quality Street in the next few weeks.

Then on Wednesday August 14, Merstham will host the Surrey U12s with a 10am start.

Few teams can practise more often that the Merstham Magics, the club's disability team. Every week, winter and summer, they put in the effort under Dan Feist's careful guidance. So, when the chance of a match comes along, they are always ready and eager.

A great chance for Merstham to secure a victory in Surrey Championship Division Five fell apart at Byfleet on Saturday.

After a rain-delayed start, the Magics made a great start, having asked their hosts to bat.

Junior training has been cancelled this evening because of the wet weather, with Quality Street judged too slippery.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon!

The teenager put on 77 for the first wicket, off nine overs, with Robin Hardman as the visitors made 124 from their innings, Ris Bakrania also bagging 20.

Merstham returned to winning ways with a complete all-round performance against league leaders Old Emmanuel in Surrey Championship Division Five, with captain Laurie Nicholson scoring a century and bowler Asim Jafferi taking five wickets.

Merstham elected to bat on what looked to be a very good Quality Street surface.

Merstham U13s won the local derby by 10 runs against Reigate Priory Llamas last Sunday in the East Surrey Colts League , on a beautiful sunny late June morning at Quality Street. Priory won the toss and put the home team in to bat. Merstham made a good start reaching 18-1 off their first three overs, but were then pegged back and by the halfway stage had only made 35 runs. Realising that 3.5 an over wasn't enough, Merstham pushed forwards, helped by partnerships of 20 by Max Yates and Matt Gray and 29 by Yates and Dinuk Jayamanne. Man of the match Yates was unluckily not to retire (at 30) for the second week running when he was bowled at 26. Second top scorer was James Pieters with 12. This was the first time that Merstham had made less than 100 this season and the team knew that they needed to bowl and field tidily to successfully defend this total. They did this well, giving away 24 less in extras than in their previous match. Merstham got off to a great start with with Edward Jobling taking a wicket in the first over. Priory came back with with a second wicket partnership of 36 which was eventually broken by Connor Thorpe getting an lbw. A steady fall of wickets after this saw Priory ten runs short of their target at the end of their 20 overs. Bowlers of the day were Jake Dean (2-0-2-7) and Yates (3-0-1-7), with a wicket each for Jobling, Thorpe, Dinuk Jayamanne, Gray and Pieters. Catches were taken by Jayamanne, Pieters and Jobling. Great teamwork by Merstham resulted in their fourth league win out of five and puts them in contention for the title.

Merstham's first team were overtaken in Surrey Championship Division Five by SinjunGrammarians after their hosts set an imposing 280 total and went on to bowl out the Magics and take the win.

Merstham first team will hope for better luck tomorrow at SinjunGrammarians, a place below them in the Surrey Championship Division Five, than they had against Egham, now two places above, last week.

Set a modest total by their visitors, who chose to bat, the Magics ran out of batsmen as they tried to chase 151. The visitors ran up 65 for the first wicket, then lost two withing a run, with Ali Jaffri's 14 overs conceding a tight 27 runs, but reaping no reward of wickets. Lithon Tarofder (2-24) took two wickets and fifth bowler Mohsin Ali returned 5-12 in his nine overs as Merstham took seven wickets for the final 20 runs, Ammar Tahir and Humayoon Nazir also taking one too. Unfortunately Merstham's reply didn't start well. They lost George Chellis (11) at 15-1 and captain Laurie Nicholson (4) to a run out on 19, while Simon Rivers departed a run later. Four wickets were down when opener Ed Dawson (10) was bowled on 34 as Stefan Kaltner struck the first of his 3-20. Merstham put on another 55, between Robin Hardman (34) and Will Preston (35) before the first of them was triggered leg before by Dave Morris, who had Preston caught 10 runs later. The hosts nudged on until Harry Morris (4-36) struck again on 121-7, having Mohsin Ali caught. The final three wickets fell within another eight runs as Merstham were all out for 129. The second team lost the toss and were asked to bat at Purley, where Nav Saeed (18) and Manish Patel (25) started well enough. Jack Letts contributed 15 batting three, but it was down to Arham Ali (52 not out) to help muster the total of 140 in 50.5 overs. In reply, Merstham dismissed three of the top order cheaply, Safyam Aslam taking 2-28 from 14 overs. Zeeshan Murtaza struck twice as well (2-30 off 6.4) while Fergus Carrick (1-19 off six) and Imran Islam also took a wicket each as Merstham took six wickets on their opponents' way to a four-wicket win. The thirds had far better success, bowling Old Emanuel out for 40 in 17.2 overs and knocking off the runs for the loss of one wicket. It all started with Afsar Khan's two early wickets in a run of 5-8 from six overs. None of his victims scored a single run. George Corrie did much of the rest to finish off their opponents with 3-2 off 2.2 overs, Callum Letts and James Lowe taking the others. In reply, Ashar Syed notched 22 and Struan Clark struck 14 as the target was reached in 10.5 overs. The early overs of the fourth team's match didn't go their way, being 8-4 through a combination of a 13-year-old bowling outswingers and poor shots. Oh and a run out from a direct hit from the boundary when Glen Mollan called a third. Opener Kashif Noon scored 31 and was ninth man out after a 55 partnership with Alex Reeves, whose no pressure cameo of 35. Their total of 107 could have been worse, but always looked an unlikely one to defend. Nevertheless, they did their best to keep things tight and took four wickets in persuading Wimbledon to bat until the 24th over. Reeves took one wicket while Brennan Calafato took 2-27 while Reeves' bowling also produced the chance for a run out.
