U9 Hawks in action at The Ring

We are looking for a fixtures secretary for the 2016 season because the current holder of the post will be moving away shortly.
The majority of the work arranging Sunday fixtures - and some Saturday ones - for next season will be done over the winter. The job then involves keeping up with fixture changes during the summer. Full training and advice will be given. We have also been without a vice chairman this season. Any club member who would be interested in either post should contact the chairman Graeme Attridge either by email or via the telephone number on the contacts page.Fuller’s League Division One Merstham 263-9dec

Merstham Eagles, one of two U9 sides, produced their performance of the season so far in overpowering Salfords, scoring 335-6 before Salfords replied with 269-8.
Luke Hirchfield opening up set the tone with a classy 25. Solid batting from the next two pairs including 14 from Ben Wright merely laid the platform for a blaze of power hitting from Will John Cox who hit 39 off 13 balls with four sixes and three fours.
