Surrey County League Division One
Long Ditton 123
Merstham 127-5

 
 
 

Colts round-up: Merstham’s Under-9s Eagles have won two of their opening three matches, including the eagerly awaited match against their clubmates, the Under-9s Hawks.

Their only defeat has been to Reigate Priory, who have also defeated the club’s Under-10s in their first match of the season.

 
 
 

As part of our continued "Friends of Surrey Cricket" affiliation with Surrey County Cricket Club, we have been given 50 tickets to the Surrey vs Glamorgan T20 Blast match on Friday 15th May.

The tickets are in OCS Block 20, Lower Tier and are available to any registered club member. Play begins at 6:30pm.

 
 

Merstham's development team were outplayed by opponents Normandy in their first Trust League fixture of the season.

A strong Normandy team, who won the toss and elected to bat, saw off a decent start by Rory Crouch (10), whose wicket went to the pace of Mackenzie.

 
Junior members, particularly aged under-13 to under-16, are encouraged to put themselves forward for Sunday's 'inter-club' match where, nominally, the Sunday first team will face the Sunday second team. In reality this will be mix and match. The idea of the fixture is to integrate young (under-18) players into the senior ranks and introduce them to the 40+ over version of the game they will encounter when called up to adult senior games during the season.

The fixture is the brainchild of Bobby Sharp, our fixtures secretary who himself has benefited from playing senior cricket well before he was 18. Sunday seconds captain Bill Ash will be wearing a coloured armband in memory of Terry Garrett. Anyone who is available should contact Sunday seconds captain Jon White.
