After being bowled out for 184 and defeated by six wickets, Nav Saeed’s men remain top with a 32-point lead over Chaldon, who also lost, at Wallington who climbed to fourth bottom.

Geoff Miller, who recently stepped down as chairman of selectors for England, will be the guest speaker for the club’s 150th anniversary dinner and dance, at Reigate Hill Golf Club on Friday August 15.

A right-handed all-rounder, Geoff Miller played 254 first-class games for Derbyshire from 1973-86 and 1990, when he returned after a spell with Essex.

The Sunday seconds earned a dramatic victory at Quality Street.

Skipper Bill Ash won the toss on a damp wicket and, gambling on early movement, put the visiting Salfords team into bat.

It was a bold move and thanks to 1950s dancehall levels of swing, the run rate stayed low and two wickets fell in the opening 19 overs, with the visitors 22-2 at one point.  In came the middle order and, as the track dried, settled in for a solid slogging effort. 

One man down and with a dry outfield, Merstham struggled to contain the scoring to under ten an over on a track that started to reward the batsmen even for sloppy shots - conditions echoed in the England v India Test at Trent Bridge.
