Despite the sun earlier in the week, the rain has struck back, and the ground at Quality Street is still too wet and slippery to be used this week without risking damage to the wicket or personal injury.

Unfortunately, this means cancelling tonights Junior training and the home games due both tomorrow and Sunday.

Merstham Cricket Club is holding a quiz evening and barbecue on Friday, 4th May from 4.30pm.

There will be no training for juniors this Friday, or games for adults this weekend, at Merstham Cricket Club, because the ground remains extremely wet.   However, should anyone be available to help with work at the ground which still needs doing ahead of the season, groundsman Bernard Feist will be at the ground from noon and club captain Richard Feist will be there from 2.45pm.   After the cancellation of the second half of NatWest Cricket Force recently there are still several jobs to do, such as preparing the nets. All help is welcome.

For those who missed out on today's chance to join in with the NatWest Cricket Force weekend activities at Merstham Cricket Club, there will be another chance next Saturday.

  That is because tomorrow's (Sunday's) activities have been postponed because of the weather forecast. The holes have been filled on Quality Street's driveway - and the Ring has been given a clean. But there are still plenty of things to do. So come armed with gloves, sturdy shoes, brooms, clippers and other gardening equipment from 10am next Saturday!       

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Serious Cricket Limited (part of the Serious Sport Group) our new official provider of club teamwear.

Serious Sport is a Hampshire-based company, founded in 2005, born of a love of sport and the vision to deliver specialist sportswear and equipment in very short lead times. They provide teamwear through dedicated online stores to over 1000 clubs nationwide.

Ask not what your club can do for you, but what you can do for your club! This is the message behind the ECB's annual NatWest Cricket Force weekend, which takes place on Saturday April 7 and Sunday April 8, 2018.

We have received the following message from the ECB, linking to videos which explain the law changes to cricket that came into place last October and how they apply to adult levels of cricket that have official umpires, players taking turns umpiring and revisions to junior regulations, too.

Please watch the video and see the new laws for no balls - which has changed to allowing only one bounce only before the popping crease - and other changes. There is also an online tool to explain "unfair play" and "player conduct" laws.

EVENT POSTPONED UNTIL DURING THE SEASON.
