Saturday 1st XI wrapped up a victory at home against newly promoted Chobham CC with some superb fielding and, for the 9th wicket, a catch of the season contender! Finn Harris (46) opened assuredly and Asim Jaffri 4-20 off 9 overs was the pick of the bowlers. It was a good team performance to pick up all the wickets as at the break Chobham were in high spirits having restricted MCC to 117, to pick them up for only 57 was a real victory.
2nd XI bowled first restricting Horsley & Send CC on a good wicket. To chase the runs after a great fielding display shows the season has real promise. Finn Wilsher (21) showed composure at the crease opening the batting against the new ball and a few players chipped in with runs notably Lithon (52) and Dan Barlow (32). The task now for the batsman is to convert these good starts in the 20s when set, to higher scores. Bowling the wickets Lithon put in a great all rounders performance picking up 3 wickets alongside Luke (3wkts) and Bobby Sharp, Imran Aslam, Finn W and Ferg all picking up 1 wkt each showing the real bowling strength in the group.
