The first of two games for the U10s last weekend was a cup match against Sanderstead. Merstham batted first and posted a score of 273 losing 4 wickets in their 20 overs. Highest scoring pair was Luis Grainger and Samuel Solomons scoring 19 in their 4 overs. When taking the field Merstham completed a dominant performance restricting the opposition to 212 taking 14 wickets. Akif Sabir opened the bowling and conceded just 5 runs in his 2 overs. The fielding was excellent and special mention must go to Jasper Parsons for two sharp run-outs.
