1 Section 1 – Important Information SPONSOR’S MESSAGE

I am absolutely delighted that Ryman are continuing to sponsor the Ryman Surrey Championship through the 2014 season. As the Championship goes from strength to strength it continues to very much be a part of the fabric of sporting life in Surrey. The sponsorship complements our backing of the Ryman Football League. These two partnerships work together seamlessly to provide Ryman with brand awareness - and indeed business - in an important area of the country across all four seasons of the year. Or should I say across the two seasons of the year for those of us who divide our calendar into the football season and the cricket season rather than the weather! Speaking of the weather it was a great shame the gods conspired against Wimbledon Cricket Club to prevent any play during last season’s National Twenty20 Finals Day. However congratulations to our near neighbours who secured victory via an indoor ‘bowl out’ in front of the Sky Sports cameras. It is a magnificent advert for the Ryman Surrey Championship that we are the home of the national champions. This leaves me to say that, as the covers come off for this new season, I wish all clubs the very best of luck for the year ahead and hope you all have a great summer.

For all stationery and business supplies please visit one of Ryman’s 236 stores nationwide or go online at www.ryman.co.uk

2 Section 1 – Important Information CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Crispin Lyden-Cowan. Chairman of The Surrey Championship.

We enter the 2014 season, mopping up from the winter storms, floods, gales and biblical torrents that were deluged upon us. We all feel for the clubs that have suffered unduly, and seemingly unfairly and it is our hope that each of these clubs can recover, to play great cricket this season. Your local communities, sponsors and members have, in many instances rallied around. And so have Surrey, and the ECB. We have, on the Championship Executive also provided much needed funds to help clubs get back on their feet, and will continue to support you all in the most practical ways possible. My personal thanks go to everyone who has rallied around and supported our sport these taxing few months. During this summer, I will be asking our cricket committee to conduct some consultations with each of the leagues in our Championship, via Captains’ meetings, hopefully on match days at . We feel this will be the best way of eliciting the views and thoughts of our playing community, so that we can jointly agree the most sensible format of rules for future seasons. I am keen that we reduce the burden of our complex and especially long set of rules, but only with our players and clubs contributing to that ideal. I will urge all captains to attend their respective captains meetings so that the debates and discussions can be as fully informed and representative as possible. I would like to pass on my thanks to Virginia Edwards for her tireless work as Secretary. She has been our stalwart – nothing has been too much trouble for her. Virginia remains with us as Registration Secretary. I would like also to pass on my thanks to John Smith (Dulwich) for his help on the Executive, and Chris Bullen for his help on the Executive and Grounds Committee. From henceforth we will be using Mark Babb as our administrator. All inquiries and correspondence should, in the first instance go to him. Without our umpires, so well organised by our Umpires committee, we would not have the quality of cricket that we enjoy. Long may that continue and a special thanks go to them. I am pleased that Ryman have agreed to remain our sponsors and our gratitude goes to Theo and his team. Congratulations to Wimbledon CC – the first ever club to win the National T20 title twice, on the back of winning the ECB Premier 1st XI title three times back-to-back. And my congratulations to all winners in 2013. I hope the 2014 season is successful for everyone both on the field and recovering from our worst winter ever.

5 Section 1 – Important Information Surrey Championship Umpires Panel I offer a very warm welcome to the new umpires joining our Panel this season, and hope very much that they enjoy their first season with us in the Surrey Championship. The Panel operates in the 1st XI League from Premier Division down to Division 4 only. I would also like to express the thanks of the Panel umpires for the warmth of the hospitality that so many clubs offer our members over the summer months. We continue to see a steady flow of younger umpires wishing to join the Panel each season, and this is vital as the Panel has been seeing a rise in retirements, particularly from some of our most experienced Premier umpires, in recent years. It should be noted that just as the Surrey Championship is a pathway for talented young players to progress towards the professional game, the same is true for umpires. The ECB has established a clear route for the very best umpires in the Championship to progress to Minor Counties or County 2nd XI matches. To find out more about becoming an umpire please visit the Umpires section of the Championship website or http://www.surreycricketofficials.org.uk/index.htm . The Championship now offers subsidies to clubs who send their members on the Level 1 Umpires Training Course, pass the exam, and who then go into to stand as umpires in at least two Championship matches at any level. The subsidy will offset the cost of the course. It should be noted that Level 1 Training courses are held from January to March each year at four centres around Surrey – details available from the link above. If every club were to have a target of getting one of their members each season through the Course, the exam and some practical experience, not only would it be of great benefit to the club, and cricket in Surrey more generally, but it would also provide a greater pool of potential umpires for the Panel to choose from and meet its long term target of covering all Surrey Championship 1st XI matches down to Division 5. There are only three changes to the Playing Conditions this year in Panel-umpired matches. The use of the old ball at the beginning of the second innings is no longer permitted, there are no bonus points now available in Divisions 2, 3 and 4 when the limited overs formula is used to adjust the first innings score when matches have been interrupted, and the adjusted score of the side first will now ignore any fractions of a run, so making a tie a possible match result in such a situation.

Surrey Championship Ground and Facilities Grant Scheme Every year, the Championship receives funding from the England Cricket Board (ECB) in recognition of its status as a Premier League. Traditionally ECB have earmarked most of the money for distribution to clubs with 1st XIs playing Premier Division cricket. However, from 2013 Leagues were given discretion as to its use in the best interests of league cricket within its area. The Executive Committee decided to retain a partial distribution to Premier clubs but to use the rest of the money (up to £5k) to experiment with a pilot programme of grants for clubs needing some help with improvements to their grounds and/or playing facilities. This was advertised to Clubs in February 2013. A number of Clubs responded and a small sub-committee of the Executive Committee, including the League Chairman, Treasurer and Chair of Grounds and Facilities adjudicated on the bids. In the event not all applicant clubs were able to proceed with their projects, but the following grants were made on presentation of proof of expenditure: Beddington New sightscreen £500 East Molesey New sightscreen and other works £1,000 Reigate Priory rope £500 Walton Water sopper £250 Warlingham Improvement to practice facilities £500 Worcester Park New sightscreen £500 A further round of the scheme was announced in November and the results of that will be announced in the course of 2014.

The eighth Twenty20 Finals Day was played at Old Whitgiftians CC on 28 July 2013. This was another good day with the weather keeping fine and the matches being played in good spirit. Camberley, Sunbury, Sutton and Wimbledon made it through to the finals. The umpires were Roy Collins, Phil Matthews and Janet Rogers. Semi-Final 1: Camberley 89-10 lost to Wimbledon 90.-6 by 4 . Semi-Final 2: Sunbury 119 -4 beat Sutton 115-10 by 6 wickets. The Final: Sunbury 125-10 in 20 overs lost to Wimbledon 128-4 in 18.3 overs by 6 wickets. Many thanks go to Old Whitgiftians for hosting a day of good cricket which was enjoyed by all, helped along by the provision of a well prepared ground and a PA system that kept everybody informed. Having won the Surrey Championship T20, Wimbledon went on to represent the Surrey Championship in the Area Finals of the ECB National T20 Competition where they were joined by Blackheath (Kent League), Horsham (Sussex League) and South Wilts CC (Southern Premier League). ECB National Area Results: Semi-Final 1 - Blackheath (Kent League) beat Horsham (Sussex Cricket League) Semi-Final 2 - Wimbledon 160-5 in 20 overs beat South Wilts CC (Southern Premier Cricket League) 125-9 in 20 overs. O Alsop 56. Area Final - Blackheath 120-8 in 20 overs lost to Wimbledon 122-5 in 18.3 ECB National Regional Finals Wimbledon 176-10 in 20 overs beat Frocester 136-6 in 20 overs by 40 runs. Banbury beat Peterborough. Chester le Street beat Pudsey Congs. Ormskirk beat Hyde ECB National Finals Day held at the Kia Oval on 13 September 2013 Semi-Final 1 - Wimbledon beat Banbury 3 -1 on a bowl out. Semi-Final 2 - Ormskirk beat Chester le Street 3 - 2 on a bowl out. Final - Wimbledon beat Ormskirk 5 - 1 on a bowl out. This was a disappointing day weather wise. All of the clubs had played hard to get to the finals day and the very wet weather meant that all matches were decided by a bowl out. This is not how any of the clubs wished to have the competition decided. However, congratulations go to Wimbledon in winning the ECB National Competition for the 2nd year running. Hopefully the 2014 Finals Day will be better and will allow for all matches to be played and won or lost on performance.

Your Photographs In The Year Book Conventional photography with negatives allows the print to be enlarged to almost any size, provided that the negative is of reasonable quality. With digital images the size is pre-determined by the resolution, i.e. the number of pixels per inch (ppi) that make up the image. If these are enlarged, then the pixels can start to show. For the technically inclined, images viewed on a monitor, or output to a digital printer, are equivalent to 72ppi at same size (100%). Images reproduced in this Year Book are at 300ppi, i.e. nearly four times larger. This means that images viewed 100% at 72ppi will reproduce at only ¼ of the size when printed in the Year Book. So, always shoot important pictures on your digital camera (not mobile phone) at the highest resolution it will allow, and save to disc. They can always be re-sampled smaller, or compressed, later but they cannot be enlarged without loss of quality. The bigger, the better! One last request: When supplying photos for inclusion in the Year Book do I.D. all shown; and, please ensure that you have obtained the relevant permission to print the picture and the name of any young person under 18 involved. Sad, but necessary these days I am afraid. If you would like an opinion about the suitability of a photograph taken during the season, please send it to [email protected]. Editor

Playing solid cricket all season they were just unable to find their top gear. Benham led from the front with the bat (483 runs @ 34.5), finishing the season with a superb maiden hundred for the team. New recruit Mark Halse (390 @ 39) and the promising Dan Lineker (342 @ 31.09) backed up the captain and scored big runs at various points during the season. Highlight of the season with the bat was the mammoth first wicket stand of 201 against Staines & Laleham between Benham and Halse. The bowling led by the evergreen Adnan Saleem (33 wickets @ 15.73) often put sides on the back foot and had the ability to take wickets throughout an innings. With Saleem and Chris Jones (21 @ 17.19) developing their new ball partnership, Sudesh Karunanayake (24 @ 17.75) and the ever improving Jason Moore (20 @ 14.55) coming on in the middle overs; Addiscombe had one of the most balanced attacks in the whole league. Bowling highlight was Moore’s spell at Churt where he picked up 6 wickets for 3 runs in just 19 balls with a spell of bowling that blew the opposition off the park. Thanks must go to scorer Lin Poulton, to Roger Hurrion for umpiring at square leg when required and all the Addiscombe faithful who continue to turn up and support the club both at home and away. If this team stays together and keeps on improving then another promotion push next season is of the question. Having gained promotion to Division 2 the 2nd XI had high hopes for the new season. Despite starting with a loss the team then won 3 of the next 4 games and was always in the top 3 pushing for consecutive promotions. However the pressure told at the end of the season, with an abandoned game followed by 2 losses meaning that the side finished a very creditable 3rd. There were contributions from the whole team. On the batting front Barry Lineker scored 335 @ 28, Sam Dennis 300 @ 21, Adi Dhond 264 @ 29, Dan Jones 298 @ 30, Dave Roche 410 @ 24 and Pete Cowlin 366 @ 30. The main bowling contribution came from Barry Lineker with 39 @ 15, James Ramsey 20 @ 25, Anthony Starnes 17 @ 29 and Charlie Nash 16 @ 21. Thanks to Ray Munn for scoring. After just missing out on promotion last year, there were high hopes for the 3rd XI in 2013. Sadly this was not to be; the 3s were relegated to the Fullers League. Availability was a big issue for the whole club which was seen dramatically in the lower XIs. On one occasion, against Chertsey, 9 players managed to post 275-4 but were unable to bowl them out. Accumulating enough runs and bowling sides out was a struggle generally; the latter being achieved only 3 times. A win and two winning draws from the first five matches was not a bad start but it was followed by 7 consecutive defeats including an embarrassing 25 a/o against Ashtead and a disappointing 1 run loss to Staines & Laleham after restricting them to 116. With 3 matches to go, nothing but wins would do. A great win over 4th placed S&M was followed by a complete washout for all. With 6 points separating the 3s from safety a win had to be achieved whilst relying on other results. A great victory over West End Esher saw a glimmer of hope but this was dashed as Kingstonian won in the worst possible way, a concession. Top run-scorer was skipper, Robbie Naraine, with 263 but he needed more from his team as no one else got over 200 runs. Well done to Ashish Tandon on his first ton for the club against Sinjuns and to Shiraz Hussain for his unbeaten 87 against S&M. Leading wicket-taker was Guarav Mahajan, albeit only playing in 3 games, bagging 13 wickets with a best of 8 for 20. A top effort from bowling duo Dan Mears and Rob Maguire, who led the attack in most games and fielded exceptionally well. Thanks to Graham Jones and Dave Knight for getting the home ground in shape and to all the players for their efforts. Special thanks to Philly Naraine and daughter Stefanie for the excellent teas. The 4th XI had high hopes after winning 3 of the first 4 games and sitting top of the table. However 3 consecutive losses during July, when the holiday period affected availability, meant that this momentum could not be maintained, and despite only losing one of the last 6 games the team finished a creditable 4th.

However, defeats in the first four games put paid to promotion and it looked as though a relegation fight would be on the cards. A gritty losing draw in the fifth game at home, with Kingstonian, proved to be a catalyst and with only three more defeats for the rest of the season meant relegation was never actually a possibility, with the team finishing in a very creditable fourth position. Standout overall performers were Dan Goodwin (373 runs @ 41.44 and 28 wickets @ 23.79), Tom Eadon (381 @ 42.33 with back to back 100s), Will Murday (288 @ 36 including a ), Ryan Foley (26 wickets @ 21.88) and Will Bevan (21 @ 28.71). The best innings came from Will Murday (121 vs. Old Hamptonians), Tom Eadon (108 vs. Maori Oxshott and 105 vs. Kingstonian) and best bowling from Ryan Foley (7-23 vs. Old Emanuel, and 5-8 vs. Old Ruts), Will Bevan (6-23 vs. Met Police) and Dan Goodwin (6-27 vs. Old Emanuel and 5-19 vs. Maori Oxshott). Ben Precious (5-19 vs. Old Hamptonians) was outstanding in the field and consistent with the ball. Jim Bridgeman took 13 catches both with the gloves and without. With the right preparation the 2014 season will bring real success for this young and exciting team. More results like the 149 run victory over 2nd place Old Ruts and the 6 wicket win over Oxted will be the norm. A season of two halves for the 2nd XI would be no understatement, as the team registered five wins out of 8 in the limited over format but only one further win in the remaining 9 time games. The season started well with early wins over contenders Stoke D’Abernon and Chertsey but tailed off mid-season with availability; the only victory registered at Warlingham. The run-in proved fruitful as the team showed great character as the relegation spots loomed with victories in three out of the last four games. The batting was held together by vice-captain Ben Yeo whose 521 runs included 6 fifties with a top score of 73. Only 3 others managed two hundred runs; Gavin van der Merwe 366 including a splendid 94 against Cobham Avorians, Greg Mclean a hard hitting 224 in only 6 knocks including 82 and 88 against Chessington and the skipper Russell Clayton mustering 258. Other performances of note included Chris Foster’s dogged 62* at Hampton Wick, Dan Westinghouse’s hard hitting 53 at Stoke and Phil Gay’s 58 in the return fixture. On the bowling front the skipper was leading wicket taker with 20 wickets @ 15, supported in the spin department by Nigel Walker (18 @ 16) and Sean van der Merwe (15 @ 22). The seam department was, as ever, reliant on the accuracy of Alistair Reeves (15 @ 29), ably assisted by recruit Mark Streather (17 @ 18). The fielding was variable, with the ‘blinders’ caught and easy catches dropped more often than not. Special mention must go to the youngsters who broke into the side towards the end of the season; both Harry Millett and Max Tidmarsh showing maturity beyond their years. The side look to having them around regularly next season. Thanks, as ever, to clubmen Ray Tucker for umpiring and Colin Gay for keeping an immaculate book. Thanks also to tea ladies Bernie and Maria. The 3rd XI repeated its performance of the previous campaign – a promising start results-wise, good individual performances across the board but ultimate disappointment as commitment fizzled out and the team was expelled from the League following its third scratched fixture. Captain Mati Haidar led the team with aplomb all through the season whilst contributing with both bat and ball. Indeed Mati took the batsman of the season award for his consistency and application. Bowler of the season honours went to Anurag Verma who finished as leading wicket taker despite not always getting the just rewards that his nagging and disciplined line and length deserved. The evergreen Dave Owen was fielder of the season and was the perfect team man as usual. It was disappointing that early wins against East Molesey and Chessington did not translate into consistent success or even the ability to finish a full league programme. It seems that the team reflects the modern cricketing economic situation and the committee have much work to do to ensure that the 3rd XI can be an on-going concern. With the help of the members and the admirable core players of the 3rd XI the side believe that this can happen.

The team recorded only 3 wins and 2 draws from 17 matches, amassing 38 points to finish bottom of Division 2. Relegation is often a reflection of a disunited team, but that was singularly not the case at Ashford. This was the most together squad for some years. The decision was made to cease to offer selected players inducements to play, the result being that every member of the team knew he was playing with 10 other guys who were turning out because they cared about the Club not because they were receiving an inducement. The positive effect on team spirit, despite the generally adverse results, was tangible. The strength of the squad was understandably weakened by the change in policy, but hopes had been high that the team could perform and hold their Division 2 status. The loss of last year’s leading run scorer Dan Rose to work commitments was an unforeseen setback, and was undoubtedly a significant element of the team’s main shortcoming this year; a lack of runs. Only two batsmen totalled more than 250 runs and not once did the team pass 200. Low totals gave the bowlers little opportunity to influence results. Only four bowlers passed 10 wickets, although all ran in valiantly to the last ball in often hopeless circumstances. Was it the right decision to remove inducements? Time will tell, but it is in many ways a sad reflection of modern club cricket that the side even needs to ask the question. Despite the lack of prize money, increasing numbers of clubs seem to think it is a necessity to purchase talent, often just to hold their position in a non- Premier Division. This cannot be a sustainable model in the long term either financially or in terms of bringing youngsters through for the club, county and national sides of the future. This year’s 2nd XI season was seen as successful. The side maintained its place in the league and relegation was never a threat. The team started with a point from a rained off game. Although not the ideal start, it got the side off the mark and a good streak of wins at the start of the 100 over games left the team in a good position with a possible chance of promotion. Unfortunately, the side once again showed on its day it could beat anyone but when it was not its day it could collapse with ease. A solid mid table position is a fair representation of the season. This season saw limited availability for some members of the team, who when they did play made vital contributions, but it is pleasing to report that when these players were unavailable the team stepped up and performed with distinction. Leading the way with bat in this year’s league campaign were Gareth Evans with 258 runs @ an average of 51.6, Chris Davies with 255 runs @ 36.43, and Ben Simper who played a crucial opening role and was nothing if not consistent getting the team off to a good start most weeks, with 254 @ 23.09. The main bowlers this year were: Graham Doggett with 23 wickets @ 16.13 from 101.5 overs; the returning Zain Hussain made a good contribution after an absence from the club with 16 @ 17.69 with figures of 6-86 against Sinjungrammarians; and Paul Wilson whose tight lines definitely accounted for more than his 15 wickets. A mention to Ian Doggett as well who floated between 1st and 2nd XIs this year with a contribution of 12 wickets with the ball including a 22 over spell taking 5-60. Thank you to Rob Ford for standing in when the captain was not available. A season with some highs and lows ended with Ashford 3rd XI finishing a respectable 5th. Overall this position was a fair reflection of the season with players often showing good qualities, but sometimes without consistency from week to week. As in previous seasons the team spirit won many games; the players gave their all every week. Three players scored over 200 runs with Hasib Butt again topping the 3rd XI totals with 238 @ 59.5. Chris White scored 231 @ 25.67; and Paul Cousens scored 215 @ 19.55. Players scoring over 100 runs in the season included: Gareth Evans with 164 runs in 4 games before playing the rest of the season in the 2nd XI; Daniel Simper with 151 @ 25.17 (who missed half the season through injury), Christopher Lunn with 140 @ 35; Zafir Dar with 105 @ 17.5 and Tahir Malik with 115 @ 19.17. Bowling for the 3rd XI was led by Taimoor Anwar with 15 wickets. He bowled with great consistency throughout the whole season. Young Jamie Tilt took 11 wickets and is surely one for the future. Excellent backup was found in Patrick Daye (10 wickets), Iffy Anwar and Craig Simpson. Hafeez Khan, Tahir Malik, Molla Islam, Kevin Antonio, Zafir Dar and Liju Lazar also took wickets. Wicket keeping was shared by Daniel Simper, who snared 5 catches, and Chris Lunn with 5 catches and 1 stumping. Both kept very solidly behind the stumps. Daniel constantly saved possible byes from bad balls and made a real positive difference to the team.

37 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports A personal thank you to Vice Captain, Chris White, who kept me sane throughout the season! Thanks are due yet again to the groundsman for preparing the pitch, which really is one of the best. Teas, produced by Nevin and Amber, were greatly appreciated by the team and opposition throughout the season. The 4th XI earned a fifth place finish in the Western Division. Leading an Ashford side for the first time, Qaisar Sheikh captained a 4th XI with a typical blend of youth and experience based around a core of Short Lane stalwarts - Jasdev Rehncy, Safdar Butt and wicket-keeper Keith Pryke (until he dislocated his finger). The team continued to provide a vital opportunity to introduce colts to longer-format cricket, and hopefully those that have played have enjoyed their experiences and the team will see more of them playing next year in the 4th XI and higher elevens. Farhan Boota (28 wickets @ 15.14) led the attack picking up 5 or more wickets on three separate occasions, supported by all-rounder Fahad Bhatti (18 @ 13.56) picking up two five wicket hauls and the return of Sean Culley is good news for the Club. Other notable bowling performances came from Zeeshan Hussain (6 for 10 against Egham) and Zafir Dar (5 for 25 against East Molesey). The batting was led by Fahad Bhatti (336 runs @ 112) with contributions made by others during the season with three individuals scoring 50 or more in a game: Qaisar Sheikh (65 & 61), Liam Manning (57), and Safdar Butt (63) Although the season had its ups and downs, to finish fifth in what was a difficult season with varied availability is very respectable. Everyone that played this season gave 100% and the two outstanding players were Fahad Bhatti and Farhan Boota. Thanks to all the players; without whom there would be no team. Everyone’s contribution to the team is important whether that was in the field, batting or bowling. Thanks are due to Nev and Amber for producing the teas, which were greatly appreciated by everyone and to the groundsman, Andy Goulding, for preparing the pitches throughout the season.

After an encouraging win at Farnham in the first week, the prospects looked bright. A lack of consistency resulted in a string of defeats which proved to be the defining feature of the season. There were some encouraging signs, notably beating Dulwich twice and the eventual league winners Leatherhead. Losing can become a difficult pattern to break, but the efforts shown by the entire squad leave very encouraging signs for the forthcoming season. Fred Davies (448 runs) was a standout performer and was justifiably rewarded with a few Surrey 2nd XI games towards the end of the season. Fred, a former Ashtead colt, is certainly a name for the future. This season also saw the emergence of left arm spinner Tom Homes (10 wickets). At just 15 years of age, he is a real prospect! Little Tom Deighton (29 wickets @ 41) was, once again, very reliable but with no other bowler managing 20 wickets, it was no wonder that bowling sides out was a major challenge. After a slow start, Stewart Cameron (409 runs) found form, including a blistering 87 at Cheam, only to be outshone by Danny Miller's 70 ball century for the opposition. Dom Sibley contributed massively with both bat and ball; all the Club were delighted to see his progression into the Surrey 1st XI and the history books. The side was once again led by the ever reliable John Vaughan-Davies, a man small in stature but big in heart. He leads from the front and had a commendable year with the bat (429 runs @ 29). With a wealth of talent in the ranks, the 1st XI aims to bounce back into Division 1 next season. Having gained promotion to the Premier Division of the 2nd XI league, the Ashtead 2nd team set out to consolidate their position in the highest form of 2nd team cricket in the County. However, just as was the case in 2010, the Stags found the jump in standard from Div 1 to Premier 2nd team cricket too high a barrier. There were a number of strong individual performances and indeed some good team victories, but very unfortunately for the Stags, the place in Premier League which had been fought for so hard was lost and the side found itself relegated to Division 1. The side was very well led by the experienced Steve Tyson who managed to work with a young side, which bodes well for the future. The skipper was more than ably supported by the experienced Gary Martin, who contributed 594 runs at an average of 54, with two centuries and four half centuries. George Tyson also scored his maiden century in averaging over 30 across the season. Young Sam Homes, was not far behind him, scoring over 300 runs at an average of 28 and with young players such as Tom Dunn, Hayden Storey,

38 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Seb Stewart-Taylor and many others coming through, there is room for optimism. The bowling was led by off-spinner Sam Homes who picked up 20 wickets at an average of 29 and Tom Dunn with 18 wickets at an average of 23. Plenty of other young bowlers showed signs of promise and it is hoped that all players in the squad will have benefitted from the experience of Premier League cricket and will come back all the stronger next season. After a slow start losing the first four games, things looked bleak for the 3rd XI with no points on the board. The very young squad, with no one performing consistently, were under no illusion how tough a season it was going to be but it was to give everyone a chance to perform with the bat, the ball or both. A close one wicket loss away to Dulwich when defending 230 gave the side some confidence to turn things around and a convincing victory against Guildford and a valiant losing draw against Spencer followed. The use of a young squad invariably means results improve once schools and universities have broken up and so it was to be with the Ashtead 3s. Better availability from June meant victories against Beddington, Weybridge, Sutton and Guildford and a close fought 2 wicket loss to the eventual league leaders Wimbledon. The upshot was that Ashtead retained their position in the 3rd team Premier League. In a very young attack, top wicket takers were Nick Williams, Connor Caprano-Wint, Aaron Rose and Marcus Caprano-Wint, all of whom are still at school. The batting was lead by Charlie Poutney with 314 runs and young Hayden Storey, who made his way into the 2nd team eventually and also was the Club's leading run scorer with 1100 runs in all forms of cricket. The 4th XI were the first of the Ashtead XIs to have attained Premier League status, it was very disappointing to say "goodbye" to Premier League cricket, albeit, hopefully, temporarily. Premier League cricket is a hard school, whatever level it is played at and the 4th team is no exception. As is the case throughout the Club, the 4s rely heavily on school boys and students so the early part of the season is always a battle. Getting sides out in the early days of the season was hard work and all credit goes to skipper Peter Suddell and Andy Storey for the hours they put in in this regard. Consistency of availability was also an issue, with the Club using a staggering 57 players in its fourth team! There were some bright moments, notably the development of Sam Gale who scored 174 runs at an average of 43 and the introduction of young Ben Sidwell who scored a maiden unbeaten league half century. Veterans Gyan Vishnoi, David Whiteley and Paul Williams undertook the brunt of the bowling, but again there were promising signs of youth in Patrick Murray, Connor Caprano-Wint and Ollie Cooper. The main challenge for next season is better availability. If this can be tackled over the winter, there is every reason to hope the Club can come back strongly next season.

However, new arrivals strengthened the club and a reinvigorated team spirit, training ethic and increased competition for places led to a moderately successful season and a well deserved 4th place finish. After losing to the eventual promoted sides in 2 of the first 4 games, the side never looked like catching them. All rounders Janil Ramesh (256 runs @ 32; 17 wkts @ 26) and James Woodroof (398 runs @ 39.8; 16 wkts @ 25) were very consistent performers and will continue to be mainstays of the side. Jack O'Brien (31 wkts @ 24) had a breakthrough year with the ball, consistently removing quality bats early doors (even on the Bank track). Pranab Samanta (20 wkts @ 20) was his usual consistent self, meaning the bowling often gave a good account of itself. The batting was more of a struggle, with most of the specialists unable to find consistency. Walpole managed one brutal 145 against Churt, and Woodroof, Ridgway, Dickson and Williams all passed fifty twice, but more consistency was required from all with the bat to mount a serious promotion challenge. Harpo did a good job opening the batting and keeping, standing up to almost every bowler. All in all the season has marked something of a changing of the guard with 6 players making 1st XI debuts this year. With an additional player or two, the side has potential to go much further next year. Congratulations must go to Epsom for their remarkable season and Chipstead for being promoted. Thanks to the Bank staff for the superb playing area. The pre-season optimism and verve demonstrated by new 2nd XI skipper Walder was unfortunately eroded by the manner of early season defeats. The team became stuck in a rut, with the batting consistently poor, and the side ended up going into the last 4 games needing 3 wins to be guaranteed survival. Although Woking were dispatched by 10 wickets, a rain cancellation meant 2 wins were required from 2.

39 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports A victory over Wimbledonians at the Bank set up a grandstand finish against the league winners, Spencer. The match proved to be a microcosm of the season itself. The Bank bowled superbly, bowling Spencer out for 119 on a decent batting surface. Despite a solid start, a spectacular Bank collapse saw a fall to 110-9, but wicketkeeper Williams and no. 11 Smeeton saw the team over the line. Victory, by a single wicket; relegation avoided, by a single point. The attack was led by 4 bowlers taking 20 wickets or more; Brandon, Crane, Smeeton and Walder. O’Gorman was superb when not in the 1s, whilst there were useful contributions from Howsam and Pugh. The batting ranged from alarmingly inconsistent to utterly clueless, with the exception of Yogi Patel (421 runs @ 30). Others averaged over 30 but not playing regularly, borne out by the fact that although 13 players managed a score of 50 or more, only two batters passed 250 runs for the season. Taylor, Hoolahan, Shyam Patel and Howsam all had their moments. The squad of players that played for the 2nd XI should have finished much higher and had the team spirit and belief produced in the final 3 games run throughout the season, that would have been the case. Better availability and focus will be required next year if a repeat is to be avoided.

The season started extremely well with a tight win against Weybridge followed by wins in the next two games in the 50 over format. The last 50 over game against Reigate Priory was lost in a low scoring thriller with Reigate just getting over the line 9 down. The timed games were started in good shape and having a great win against Sunbury chasing down 283 with Richard Bedbrook hitting 23 off 12 balls to win in the last over. After wins against Guilford and Sunbury the side struggled to put out a consistent XI and as a result form declined. It meant the side had to field some talented youngsters; all gaining from playing Premier League cricket. Satbir Mann (16) and Darshan Chohan (17) both showed a lot of ability with the ball taking 5 wickets a piece and bowling with good discipline. James Smith (17) and Billy Yeats (18) showed they will be good Premier League batsman scoring 50s against Sunbury in the 50 overs. The last four games of the season were all lost but the team can take a lot from the final performance away to the League Champions Wimbledon. A brilliant start, with 100 from Daniel Newton, was the foundation for a decent score but Wimbledon managed to sneak over the line in the last over, 9 down. Overall the side can be satisfied with the year and will now look to push on so that it can challenge the top of the table. The Player of the Season was Daniel Newton (617 runs @ 41) scoring two fine hundreds both against Wimbledon. Lastly, thanks must go to Harsha the overseas player and to Chairman Richard Condie for their help during the season. Over the winter the 2nd XI were much talked about as a lot of regular players from the previous season were not going to be playing. Captain Liam Burns broke his thumb badly playing rugby even before the season had got underway. Clive Offer led the first four games and managed one win before he also had to pull out through injury. Fergus O'Connell then captained a very tight win against Guildford (where he scored a very quick 80) but then wedding planning (congratulations) took him away for the rest of the season. Michael Condie then took over a very new and inexperienced side with the average age rarely creeping above 21. The team managed to pull off a few big wins against Wimbledon, Ashtead and Epsom and secure the team’s position in the Premiership by the 15th game. The batting throughout relied on a variety of players who made important runs where needed, standing out were George Chesser 410 @ 34.17, Devon Seaton 353 @ 62.33 and Robbie Joyce 299 @ 29.9. But other players put in game winning performances including Billy Yeats, Stef Wood and Michael Condie. Bowling performances varied but with only one player bowling more than 100 overs, Michael Condie 22 wickets @ 23.05, it lacked consistency, often relying on unusual bowling choices. The bowlers full of potential this year were, yet again, Darshan Chohan taking a best of 5/34 against Malden and Satbir Mann 5/21 against Wimbledon. New ball specialist James Mann demonstrated good skill, Tyler Meyer showed great maturity and potential and Connor Cody bowled very well in pressure situations. Josh Gillam is a welcome addition this year with the ball; bowling important middle innings overs. A big thank you goes to all the late call ups on a Friday afternoon and umpire Keith Ebdon and the selection of scorers. Having suffered relegation in 2012, the 3rd XI’s primary objective for 2013 was to gain promotion back to the Premiership – a feat just managed (thanks to some help from Valley End, who beat the side’s closest rivals in the last game of the season). Ian Thorley (391 runs @ 33), Jamie Stainer (371 @ 34) and Jack

Meanwhile, the bowling was led by Marc Cogliatti (46 wickets @ 13) ably supported by Omar Swaby (22 @ 15) and Matt Brightwell (17 @ 21). Looking back, it was encouraging to see last year’s youth policy paying dividends (both in the 3rd XI and higher up in the club) and the team looks forward to seeing more of the emerging talents of Kiran Beri and Liam Head in the years to come. Special thanks go to the ever present Max Stainer for his efforts with the scorebook all season. Banstead had a highly successful first season in the 4th XI Championship, finishing 2nd to worthy winners Oxted & Limpsfield. 10 out of the 15 games played were won, 3 drawn, and beating every other side at least once proved that the side deserved 2nd spot. It soon became evident that winning the toss was essential as a run of losing the toss resulted in drawing 3 out of the first 5 games. However, a change in luck with the coin prompted a similar change in fortunes as 8 out of the next 9 games were won. Early season runs flowed with 200 being scored in 4 consecutive games. Later on, the bowlers came into their own and Banstead bowled sides out with a combination of great bowling and excellent fielding - Sutton being bowled out for 39, Epsom for 60 and Trinity Mid-Whits for 79. Dave Sowe started the season scoring 2 centuries and 3 fifties in his first 6 innings, finishing with nearly 500 runs at 54.33. Mayank Vakharia combined confidence with consistency and finished with 288 runs at 32 and Ian Estall chipped in with valuable runs when needed. Leading bowler was the evergreen Alan Lester (18 wickets @ 11.17) including 6-47 against Sanderstead and 5-24 against Sutton. He was ably supported by the whole-hearted bowling of Alex Wood with 12 wickets, and spinners Liam Head and Richard Condie who took 11 wickets. 13 year old Callum Estall showed great bowling promise and fielded excellently all season. Although 35 players turned out during the season there was an excellent nucleus of 7 or 8 players and thanks to all of them for making 2013 such an enjoyable and successful season. There is confidence that Banstead can, and will, go one better and win this league in 2014. Finally thanks to Cheryl Estall for scoring so proficiently during the season.

Overseas pro James McAuliffe led the way with the bat scoring 500 runs @ 31, providing stability and dependability at the top order once he found his feet on British soil. Tom Bevan provided strong support with both bat and ball, backing up his impressive 2012 season, delivering 432 runs @ 28 and taking 15 wickets @ 40 in 2013 as well as Simon Lewis (396 @ 23) and new comer Tom Caines (350 @ 23). With the ball, Cummins (28 wickets @ 22), Lack (25 @ 35) and Caines (24 @ 25) were the main stays of the attack providing both control and wickets throughout the year. Highlights of the year were; firstly the two tied matches versus Old Whits, with the return fixture providing Tom Bevan the opportunity to score his maiden century for Beddington with a blistering knock which nearly single-handedly won Beddington the game chasing 212. Secondly David Lester’s hat-trick versus Camberley removing three of the top four and leaving the home side reeling at 2 for 3. This strong start led to a fine team victory as Beddington knocked off 142 in a tight game with Caines and Lack taking the team over the line with a partnership of 80 for the 6th wicket. As usual the team dynamic was strong with home grown players forming the backbone of the side, which 49 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports was well supported by recent acquisitions who have fitted in well with the club and its ethos. Thanks must go to the sterling work of Chris Burton who kept an immaculate book and provided much comedy throughout the year and particularly Mike Lewis who continues to drive the club forward throughout the sides. The 2nd XI started the season with high hopes given the potential in the side. However, with limited availability soon becoming apparent, it ended up a challenging year. Relegation was avoided quite comfortably in the end but it was, nevertheless, a disappointing final position. With a number of senior players missing the door was opened for some of the youth players to make the most of their opportunities. The first two matches started brightly for Sam Owen (263 runs @ 21) and although his form slipped, his keeping was generally tidy. He should become a second team regular. Arun Butler batted in almost every position this year finally finding his place at the top of the order, scoring 301 @ 23 and also taking 19 wickets @ 26, bowling some excellent spells at times and is expected to be a first team regular in the near future. Callan Smith stepped in as opening bowler this season and he kept running in whenever he was asked and he took 13 wickets at 36. Alex Basson bowled consistently well throughout the season taking 18 wickets @ 33. Shaun Lewis (332 @ 30) took 18 wickets @ 26; Fawad Bajwa (300 @ 25) plus 15 wickets @ 25. There was an excellent 92no against Trinity Mid-Whitgiftians from Gareth Williams as he amassed 223 runs @ 41. Scott Dance scored 191 @ 31; Antony Down scored 251 runs @ 41 and Nathan Pearson 245 @ 18. So with a different side most weeks it was hard to play consistent cricket and make a real impact on the division. However, with the youngsters coming through including Jack Hargreaves, Seb Chmielinski and Louis Cooper-Stewart, combined with the return of a couple of senior players, there is a side that can contend at the other end of the table next year. Thanks to Tango for his scoring and especially Robbo for umpiring and his overall assistance. A real struggle for the 3rd XI this season that ended with relegation on the last day of the season, a lack of depth in the batting meant that totals of less than 100 were all too common place; it is a credit to the side that they fought until the final day of the season before relegation was confirmed. All 4 wins were achieved in the 50 over format, winning a couple of the closer timed games would have made all the difference. The batting was led by Adam Trigwell with 402 runs at an average of 50 from 9 games, Chris Austin was next with 231 from 11 games, Seb Chmeilinski performed well with the bat with 203 runs in six games and stood in as wicketkeeper on occasions and did an excellent job. Leading wicket taker were Sam Bartram with 17, skipper Kevin Horkan 14 and John Young 11 from his 7 games. A regular keeper for 2014 is a must as the team starts life in Division 1, as is a regular umpire. Lastly thanks go to Graham, Peter and Ian for umpiring when available.

Playing in a 4th team league puts the side at a disadvantage and the amount of cry offs meant each week half the selected team was lost, but all those who played did so with an enthusiasm that was infectious. The team managed four wins and should have had two or three more. There were outstanding efforts from Martin Richards, David Floyd and Graham Parker from the old guard and great promise from James Baxter, Janeel Shah, Harry Weil, Harry Richards and Matt Isaacs. To conclude, the team had a very enjoyable year and thanks are due to all who played and all the parents that gave up their time to support. The side looks forward to more success next year.

Camberley had a new look 1st XI in 2013 after a high turnover of players from the previous two seasons. After a disappointing 2012 the main aim was to consolidate and promote young players from within the club. The return of Harry Stephens and additions of Ali Cheyne and Tim Burns were a boost to the small squad of first XI players. After a tough start, winning 1 out of the first 4 games, the side turned the corner winning the next 7. To finish as high as the team did was a credit to the hard work and team spirit that was in abundance. Notable performances with the bat included Todd Hutcheson scoring over 700 runs and Tim Burns scoring 600 plus runs. With the ball spin dominated, with Daniel Burns taking 53 wickets and Harry Stephens 46. The club also recorded its highest finish in the Twenty20 knock-out, reaching finals day on the back of some remarkable batting performances. The captain thanks everyone involved in the Championship who have helped run the league and those involved in Camberley who have made this season so enjoyable. 2013 was a tough but promising year for CCC 2nd XI. After the first four games the team knew it was going to be a tough year, in which the very young looking second team showed a lot of promise, passion and fight. There were some great performances throughout the season, such as Dom Peter, George Crowdy and Gary Udal scoring fantastic hundreds. The youth of Camberley CC can go in to the 2014 season with their heads held high after surviving a relegation battle that went down to the final day. The experience gained from the 2013 season will be very worthwhile going into a very strong 2014.

Spirits were high, recruitment had improved the team and pre-season was productive. However, after a bright start, Cheam's propensity for shooting itself in the foot, meant early promise faded as the summer drew on. A perfect start of four wins from four games, led by Bradley Scriven's fantastic feat of scoring three consecutive hundreds, gave the side the belief that a serious push for promotion was a realistic goal. However, a long-standing inability to adapt its game to the longer format and a poor record against direct rivals, contributed to the side’s ultimate downfall. Just three wins and importantly four defeats from nine 120 over games was hugely disappointing, as was the team's reluctance to learn from mistakes that were made. Despite a late run of wins, the season effectively ended with an abandoned fixture against Normandy and a defeat to Old Whits in consecutive weeks. The last day loss at Leatherhead with a weakened side was irrelevant in terms of promotion, but cost Cheam a higher placed finish. The season was not without exceptional performances. The stand out individuals were the aforementioned Scriven, whose 800 runs @ 57 including five centuries was an awesome return. Michael Burgess with an Australian winter behind him and batting at three throughout the season, responded with 783 runs @ 49 with two hundreds. On the bowling front, Jordy Thomas, an 18 year old Australian, was superb throughout the season: 29 wickets @ 22 does not do his skill and consistency full justice. The overwhelming feeling at the end of the season was disappointment. Fifth was a massive underachievement for a side with these talents at its disposal. The fact that the problems and mistakes made over the season were almost entirely of the side’s own making, make it even harder to accept. The 2014 season will pose many more challenges for Cheam Cricket Club. With the 1st XI looking strong there were high hopes for the 2nd XI at the start of the 2013 season. The return of Dan Johnson from a self-imposed exodus would add great strength with the bat, and with Michael Burgess playing each week MOD would provide some solidarity behind the stumps. The early season dreams were soon put into perspective with 3 defeats in the first 4 limited overs games (which should have been the preferred format!). After stumbling through the middle part of the season, with 5 games left, relegation was a serious possibility. A 160 run stand between Kevin Brown and Max Gardner against Beddington meant only the rain could prevent a win. 51 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Back to back victories against fellow strugglers Sanderstead and Mid Whits ensured safety for another year. Kevin Brown finished top run scorer with 402 run from 9 innings, with an average of 80. Paul Warbiss proved to be an excellent addition to the side with his 13 wickets coming at an average of 35. The most promising aspect of the season was the emergence of 17 year old James Fenwick. Having played last year in the 3/4s, this year he made himself one of the first names on the team sheet. His 13 wickets came at an average of 25, including 6/38 vs. Beddington. When he wasn't taking wickets, he bowled with great control; a youngster to watch closely next year. An allocation of 420 words, but it could be summed up in just three; “What a year!” A mix of up-and- coming talented youngsters and some senior 3rd XI stalwarts (plus a couple of jokers masquerading as captain that fit in to neither category!) have somehow managed to come top of the pile and take the side back to the Premier Division for the first time in many, many moons. Winning 11 of the 18 league games has been a true team effort; the consistency of the side has paid dividends and has made the notoriously tough issue of selection a no-brainer for the majority of the season (no complaints here!). On the bowling front, new signing Dean Carter led the way with 20 wickets (at an average just over 10; better will be expected next season!) with Alexander Kington in hot pursuit on 18. There were also another 5 bowlers (Tom Horwood, Daniel Archer, Edward Stovell, Arjun Amin and James Fenwick) all claiming over 10 wickets apiece. All of whom were backed up by some amazing efforts in the field, Jonny Cowlard claiming 17 victims although the entire side can be congratulated on a truly professional effort in the field all season long. Batting has been a little more erratic, although there have been some standout performers. Toby Aiston has become an immovable object (ironically his running between the wickets is quite ok), irritating bowling attacks with his wall-like defence, resolute back-foot drive and determined mind set, as well as amusing us all with his pained attempts at six hitting! He finished the season with a remarkable average of 95. Dave Henry has also been getting his punishment in, scoring over 300 runs in his regular swashbuckling manner with strike rate to coincide, and Alexander Kington must surely win all-rounder of the year with his batting average of 42 to go with the aforementioned wickets. The least consistent aspect of the side has been the captaincy... James Caddy (Team Administrator) and Tom Horwood have both rotated the helm over the course of the year and owe a great debt to Dan Archer for his role as Chief Motivator; couldn’t have done it without that! Finally, it’s only appropriate to thank everyone who’s played for the 3s this year; it’s been a wonderful season played in a great spirit with a tremendous group of lads (and terrible, terrible banter). Here’s to the Premier League!! DOLPHINS!! In 2012, Cheam 4th XI saw it all; from ‘not quite disaster’ to ‘complete disaster’ and from ‘bottom of the Premier league’ to ‘not even in the Premier league!’ So surely, now they were back where they belong, things could only get better this season… Things did not start well, with 10-man Cheam taking on Streatham & Marlborough who decided it was sensible to field their 3rd XI, who didn’t have a game. Cheam responded as though they were on a mission to kill cricket, batting out 50 overs for just 95 runs to gain a draw. There’s a moral to that story somewhere! A disappointing loss against Wimbledon followed before Cheam finally secured a win against Old Wimbledonians. However this was followed by a heavy loss to Sinjungrammarians. Cheam’s season got going in earnest as the side won 6 out of the next 7. Shenal Abeywardena took season’s best figures of 6-42; skipper Paul Fisher recorded a 5 wicket haul (5-30) and followed it up two matches later with a century against Beddington (104). Not to be outdone, Joss Rickard shone with 5-20 against Worcester Park and his maiden century (103) in the return match against Sinjuns, which prompted the campest century celebration in the history of cricket. After that however, came 4 losses on the trot, before bouncing back against Old Ruts meaning that the team finished in the obscurity of mid-table. There were moments of complete farce, most notably in the away match to Crockham Hill, when two players entered the wrong postcode in their satnav and did not realise their mistake until surrounded by sheep in Ashford Forest. There were also the usual cricketing mishaps, which are too numerous and indeed too daft to mention. All in all, a good season, with plenty of close games and many laughs along the way.

In the three campaigns that they’ve contested 18 Division 4 matches (2012’s compliment was cut short by opposition sides folding) Phil Boast’s team have enjoyed a year-on-year increase in the points tally. 2013’s haul of 103 bettered the previous

52 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports record of 94 and ensured a second fourth place finish in three years. Three games of differing fortunes came and went before dreams of promotion became a realistic proposition, as the side won four games on the spin. However a run of two defeats, to eventual top-two Dorking and Stoke D’Abernon scuppered those chances while a points penalty against Alleyn Honor Oak put paid to the idea altogether. Undeterred, the side continued to play with authority, winning four of the next five games, to end a very satisfying season. Winning cricket and strong individual performances go hand in hand and that was no different here. With the willow, no less than nine squad members passed fifty, with middle-order aggressor Jake Taylor and opening stroke-maker James Richards both enjoying coming-of-age seasons. Taylor led the side with 339 runs @ 48.43. His top score of exactly 100 came in a memorable partnership with Richards (289 runs @ 26.27), who contributed 81, as the pair helped chase down 260 against Chessington. Boast and Tim Beer scored 258 and 236 runs respectively to make up the rest of the batting's main contributors. Meanwhile with the ball, Boast led from the front with 31 victims at an average of 16.8 and his best return of 5-25 helped set up the six wicket victory over Cobham Avorians. He was closely supported, as ever, by Mark Nuti who spun his way to 22 wickets @ 25.14, while the emergence of Jamie Chapman (20 wickets) as a new ball threat means the side will take a strong nucleus of players on to next season’s promotion push. Usually reliant on their consistency with the ball, the 3rd XI enjoyed renewed collective batting form to ensure they will be playing third division cricket for another year. The 3rd XI had four batsman pass the double-ton threshold for the season; the first time since 2006 the team had more than two players score over 200 runs,. What will please new skipper Dennis Perks most is that two of the three men to achieve the feat were new to the team. Kevin O’Flynn paced the side from first drop in his debut season, scoring his 238 runs aggressively and at an average of 29.75, with two half centuries. Falling one run behind O’Flynn was Sam Salt (237 @ 29.63), who spent much of his previous time with the club as a bowler in the Sunday and 4th XIs. His transformation into a capable top-order batsman was complete with his match winning knock of 75* against Esher, chasing 160 to win. The third member of the 200-club was the ever-dependable Martin Allen, who showed his class once again with a haul of 222 @ 22 while Richard Ley (166) and another newcomer, Phil Cork (121), also chipped in. The bowling department, somewhat surprisingly given the side’s historical strength in this area, failed to contribute an individual five wicket haul this season, but still thrived thanks to its collective power. Last year’s skipper Mark Pulling led the way with 22 scalps at 11.45 while a trio of youngsters gave him ample backing. John Bailey (13 wickets at 11.15) and Josh Jackman (13 at 23.46) impressed many with their consistent line and length, while Jamie Anthony claimed 11 wickets at a 10.18 average Ebenezer Scrooge would have been proud of had he ever donned whites. Those performances, along with many others, helped the side to a 12th placed finish and promise much for a higher finish in 2014.

The 1st Xl had high expectations so finishing 3rd was good reward for the guys’ hard work throughout the year. New recruits Karl Thorns and Wendall Sebastian plus James Binney (overseas) all fitted into the side and club superbly. The Club is looking forward to welcoming James back and pushing for higher honours next season. 9 wins and only 4 defeats showed the consistency of the side and the attacking cricket played. Highlights were chasing down 238 against Walton when 9 down, still needing 32 and 9 off the last over plus comfortably chasing Purley’s 242. Bowling first in 10 of the 16 games played, there were always early wickets and all bowlers came to the fore when needed; regardless of the scenario. Binney led the wickets with 34 @ 18 and was well backed up by skipper Dan Yarnley (30 @ 17), Dhillon Woutersz (27 @ 18), Andy Robson (17 @ 18) and Richard Singleton (16 @ 23). Batting was shared around for most of the season; 7 players made over 200 runs without 1 player making 500. Matt Alldis (452 @ 35) really stood up this year and his positive approach produced good numbers. His keeping is also going from strength to strength and he will be an integral cog in the side. Matt was backed up by Dan Yarnley (376 @ 32); Wendall Sebastian (252 @ 28) and the other 200 scorers were Niall Stewart, Ben Smith, Paul Willis and James Binney. There are youngsters coming through for 2014; Ruckshan Rujamanthri, Colin Watson, Jack Strange and Adam Lawrence all tasted 1st Xl experience and will be big players for the club. Congratulations to both Cranleigh and Esher on their deserved promotions; thanks to the Brian Whittle and his grounds team who produce excellent facilities every week, the tea ladies for the best spread in the league, John Yarnley for scoring every week and finally the bar staff.

53 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports 2013 was a season of 2 halves. The first 9 games saw the 2nd XI perilously close to the relegation zone, whereas the last 9 games saw a very good upturn in form and results, meaning a respectable 5th place in the table by the end. It did, however, feel like a missed opportunity. Highlights of the season were very good wins against Cobham Avorians (home & away), Alleyn & Honor Oak, Horsley & Send and promoted Stoke D’Abernon. The win against Avorians away, where a declaration was made after just 30 overs, leaving Avorians 70 overs to chase 232 and being bowled out according to plan, gave the team great belief and satisfaction and started the run of good form for the rest of the season. Big positives were the youngsters who played a major part all season; Jack Strange, Tayler Young, Tim Kendall, Ruckshan Rujamanthri, Luke Viney et al. They certainly held their own and have provided great competition for places for this and next season! There were solid performances throughout the season from the more experienced players too i.e. Stewart Hill, Kevin Dillon, Daniel Mckay, Matthew Robinson, Andy White and Andy Fletcher which helped the youngsters no end. No less than 10 batsman scored 150 runs or more during 2013 which was great, yet it was Colin Watson’s performances with bat and ball that made him the standout player for the 2nd XI in 2013. No doubt he’s destined for bigger and better things. Many thanks must go to Umpire Jeff Keene for his excellent judgement and high standards, as well as to all the ground staff and tea ladies. Their help was and is, as always, much appreciated. Roll on 2014 They say consistency is the key to success and sadly the 3rd XI was slightly lacking some. A regularly changing side did not help but neither did the batting collapses as the team often found itself 3 or 4 down for not many and it is always a struggle to win games from that position. The side enjoyed playing the two formats and pleasingly most games were played at nice grounds and on good pitches with the games played in the right spirit. Despite the inconsistency the team played its part in some cracking games, falling 15 short of Woking & Horsell’s 240 when well set to win, beating Egham by 5 runs in a nail biter and chasing down 225 to beat eventual league winners Old Ruts in the last over. The runs were shared around with newcomer Chris Cooke scoring 310 @ 34, Burge 269 and Eustace 261 also making good contributions. The mercurial Dave Wisden belied his years with his bowling, if not with his fielding...and he was the league’s joint leading wicket taker with 31 victims @ 21. Thanks go to the tea ladies around the league, to umpire John Oakley, a consistent performer, and scorer Megan Eustace.

2013 was another successful season for the Chipstead, Coulsdon & Old Walcountian’s 1st XI who maintained momentum from a championship winning 2012 campaign to once again secure promotion. The side was strengthened by the arrival of several new faces at the High Road in the shape of Ben Sandhu, Henry Haslam and Steve Capron. This depth, coupled with the continued progression of the club’s younger statesmen meant the side was able to deliver some outstanding performances despite long-term injuries to two senior players. Most notable of Chipstead’s youngsters was Nathan Heal who bowled with accuracy and discipline in his debut season. With the bat Ben Sandhu and Salil Oberoi led from the front, ably supported by an evergreen David Ward and the explosive Malinda Thotiwilage. With the ball, Chipstead’s attack remains well balanced, coupling the raw pace of Leigh Padfield with the swing and experience of Elliot Noble. Michael Bradley’s development was curtailed by a nasty injury in the opening weeks of the season, however, a winter of hard work and rehabilitation will see him fit to help spearhead the attack in 2014. As a club, 2014 will again be an exciting season as the side looks to maintain the progress and compete with stronger sides in a higher division. The current squad is more than capable of competing at this level and the fresh challenges next year will provide are eagerly awaited. Chipstead has made some important strides over the last 5 years, both on and off the field, showing delightful progress. Ensuring this is not only maintained but sustainable in the long-term are key priorities for the club and something to look forward to achieving. In 2012 CCWCC 2nd XI was able to blood a number of promising youngsters; some talented young players with good futures ahead of them. By 2013 they had more experience and a more defined role in the side. The club had also acquired some new players to reinforce the side. It was an exciting opportunity and a season with real potential.

54 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Through the course of the year there were some outstanding performances. Some of them were fantastic team efforts others were virtuoso efforts from individuals putting in match winning contributions. Jay Patel laid down an early marker with his fantastic 6 for 25 against Hampton Wick Royal. He was at it again against Chertsey bowling 24 overs straight, taking 6 for 51. Alan Clark made a brilliant 137 at Hampton Wick Royal. Unfortunately these brilliant performances were undermined by some galling defeats. An enthralling game but a home defeat to Stoke D’Abernon was the final nail in the promotion coffin with a couple of games to go. Earlier in the year narrow losses to Horsley & Send and Cobham Avorians had meant an uphill battle. Despite the disappointment there were lots of positives. Evergreen Greg Barber topped the batting stats with 337 runs and picked up 25 wickets. With a bit more luck Greg could have easily had 30 plus wickets. Jay Patel had a great year as leading wicket taker with 30 and chipping in with 206 runs. Ross Moody continued to provide control in the middle overs taking 21 wickets. The return of John Bristow also saw the seasoned glove man pick up 150 runs in the last few games of the year while looking good behind the sticks. The young players continued to show signs of development. Alex and Ben Dombrandt both look increasingly comfortable at 2nd XI cricket while Alex Boosey continued to show promise as a fast bowler. Bring on 2014! An ultimately disappointing, but nonetheless enjoyable 3rd XI season initially promised a great deal but fell away badly in the latter stages. Lack of regular availability and numerous call ups from higher sides meant that the team changed considerably from week to week, which made it difficult to gain any form or consistency, such are the vagaries of 3rd XI cricket! Of those regularly available, Mark Bradley was consistent with the bat, often playing important innings in differing circumstances, sadly he lacked regular support, and too often the side was unable to post sufficient totals. Having said that, two innings which were the highlight of the season were Ammar Gujral’s magnificent 120* vs. Kingstonian and Kris Sterling’s undefeated ton against Esher. Mention must also be made of Paul Huitson’s fantastic undefeated 80 odd at Malden Wanderers, where, after a generous declaration from the home skipper, CCWCC needed 4 from the last ball with the last pair at the crease and came up just short in the game of the season, having to settle for a draw 2 runs short of an unlikely victory. The bowling suffered from a lack of strike bowlers from last year’s successful side and despite everyone’s best efforts the side was unable to pick up wickets regularly enough to maintain pressure and to acheive results. Hopefully things will improve in 2014.

2013 was a hugely disappointing season for Churt 1st XI. The omens were there from the start, losing skipper and premier wicket taker Scott Power to Richmond CC. His quality, and the loss, was emphasised when he finished leading wicket taker for the Middlesex club. With 3 or 4 other players either retired or moving on to pastures new, skipper Jon Palmer looked as if he had received a hospital pass very early on. 38 players were used throughout the season, which was a reflection of both poor availability and forced inconsistencies in selection. Much of the time, recruitment was made from the 3rd XI and the difference in standard was simply too vast. On occasions when the batting did extend beyond 5 or 6, things were more competitive. All too often though, there was a reliance on 2 or 3 players to win games alone. To his credit, OP Kris Colley gave a great account of himself through a difficult year and was a key figure in all 3 victories attained. The Australian finished with 775 @ 48 from his 16 appearances. David Thomas chipped in with 386 @ 25, a feat of consistency given he failed to pass the 50 mark once. Rowley Marshall accumulated 302 @ 25 but there was little else for the statisticians to muse over. On the bowling front, the portly Thomas continued to lead the attack with his metronomic bustle. 29 @ 28 was a decent haul given the trappings of age, whilst Marshall claimed 16 @ 25. All in all, the bowling was desperately short of consistency and heaped pressure on an already creaking batting line up. Congratulations to Epsom as champions and CC&OW who really were a different league this year. Thanks must go to JP for skippering the side through difficult times and as ever to Steve for scoring and making sure the ship stayed afloat.

After a lot of soul searching from the previous seasons' misfortunes the As 1st XI started the season very upbeat. With a number of new additions the side looked very competitive and the As were targeting their first win in 3 years. The side's 37 game ended in the 2nd game of the season with a win away against Churt. This much needed win buoyed the team and a 3 game winning streak propelled the side to 4th in the table. Unfortunately this was as good as it was going to get as a 7 game losing streak followed, which saw the As return to the, all too familiar, dog fight at the bottom of the table. A win against Streatham & Marlborough in the penultimate game kept hopes alive but it came down to the last game against Woking & Horsell where the As needed a win to avoid relegation, unfortunately it was not to be and the Avorians suffered a 4th successive relegation. Although deflated, there was much cause for optimism for the future of the 1st team as there were a number of stand out performers. Sanjaya Rodrigo was the pick of the batsmen scoring 585 runs at 36.52 including a fantastic match winning knock of 102*, also chipping in with 17 wickets at 22.57. Daniel Stevenson was the pick of the bowlers with 32 wickets at 15.75, a best performance of 7-18 against Old Wimbledonians. Other notable performances were Mark Barrow's match winning knock of 70* against Streatham; in the same game Johnny Gray took 5-59 in a fiery display of bowling. Dilan Wimalasena and Venkat Parthasarathy also contributed half centuries during the season. With a new younger looking side there is a positive outlook for the seasons ahead and the change in momentum is beginning to show; promotion will be the target for the 2014 season. Despite conceding 306 runs in a heavy opening day defeat at Chessington the As 2nd XI had some cause for optimism. Several new names appeared and the side had a good mixture of old and not so old heads. The optimism was backed up by 3 straight wins, which saw the As briefly enjoy 2nd place in the table following wins against eventual runners up Stoke D'Abernon, Warlingham and Chipstead. A narrow 2 wicket defeat to eventual run away champions Dorking followed and then the wheels rather fell off. Mark Barrow who had scored 175 runs @ 29 from 6 innings was promoted to the 1st team and with him the As lost a calm head and dependable bat at the top of the order. Only 2 more wins followed, both away, at Warlingham and then Horsley & Send on the final day of the season. Lack of availability and promotion to the 1st team meant that the As used 40 players during the season (an improvement on the 56 used during the previous season!). Despite successive relegations the As do have some reasons for optimism. 17 year old Ben Miller came of age and was the pick of the bowlers taking 16 wickets at 16.31 including 5 for 7 at Warlingham. New recruit Sanjeev Kanaan generated good pace and was rewarded with 11 wickets at 22. Amongst the batters, Raghu Rama with 252 runs was as near to an ever present as the As had and Ravi Sarathi with 205 runs had a blistering start to the season. Keith Millett with 149 runs added some much needed backbone to the side during the latter part of the season and ensured that the As were never easy to beat. Youngsters George Frise, Yusef and Matthew Richardson at just 14 years of age made useful contributions when called upon and are all likely to figure heavily during the 2014 season.

The 1st XI achieved their 3rd promotion in 3 years by winning the 2nd Division trophy on the final day of the season. The team achieved 11 wins, the highlight being the 9 wicket win over fellow promoted club Esher, to secure promotion. There were many standout performers in 2013; the batting being a particular highlight with 7 centuries in total. Mark Wagh, Tom Crump, Seren Waters and Jack Scriven led the charge, all averaging over 50 runs per innings. Captain Matt Crump led the bowling taking 31 victims, ably supported by a spin heavy attack of Wagh, Waters and Chant. Max Barson weighed in with 19 wickets and was a constant threat to opening batsmen with his aggressive bowling. Praise must go to Harry Schofield who in his debut season for the club kept 56 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports admirably, claiming 23 dismissals. The 1st XI move into Division 1 with high hopes; looking to continue their rise up the Championship ladder and with the team staying together plus a couple more additions, there are high hopes for the team. The 2nd XI achieved their 1st promotion since being relegated to Division 5 in 2007, winning all but two of their games in 2013. There were outstanding performances with the bat from Jason Launder with two centuries and Euan Johnston with his first century for the 2nd XI and constant contributions from Luke Palmer scoring 347 runs @ 49.57 and Marc Cashman scoring 252 @ 50.4. The ball is where the 2nd XI really excelled in 2013, with 9 players taking 5 wickets or more but the three stand out performers from 2013 have to be Jonno Carter with 14 wickets @ 16.36, Marc Cashman with 21 @ 16.19 and the ever impressive Jay Harman taking a whopping 31 @ 9.61. The 2nd XI move into Division 4 looking to emulate the 1st XI and continue their move up the ranks of the Surrey Championship ladder.

A bad start where DCC lost three from the first four was endemic of a season; seven times in winnable positions the team failed to capitalise. They fought back admirably and showed how dominant they could be by crushing all comers for the last five games, but the damage was done earlier on. Some great individual performances to reflect on; Nick Lee’s 1,000 runs, including five centuries, was a fantastic achievement by a fine batsman. Chris Ward picked up 25 wickets in his first season of opening the bowling in first-team cricket while Ben Overton hit back-to-back tons in his last two innings at the club and claimed the only five-wicket haul of the season. Chris Thurgood hit a fine maiden hundred at Stoke and Tim Johnson did the league double with 20 wickets and 284 runs. Enough promise exists for an exciting future. Remaining unbeaten for the season was always going to be a recipe for success. DCC 2nd XI continued momentum from Division 5 with a heavy despatching of Horsley & Send; Lane claiming a season's best of 4- 14 while 50s came from A Homewood, Rogers and Horton. A thrilling last-over victory at home to Chessington ensued, when seemingly out of it, courtesy of a brilliant 50 from no.7 Lane. Wins against Hampton Wick and Alleyn HO, involving innings of 104 and 81* from Horton, saw DCC unscathed at the start of the time format. Cobham and Stoke were then brushed aside in low scoring affairs as Thurgood’s only 57 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports appearance of the season saw a brutal 79. DCC’s first draw against Chipstead saw a hundred for skipper Chisman and 68 from M Homewood and were two wickets shy of the win. Crushing wins in both fixtures against Warlingham saw Quinn’s season best of 5-6 and A Homewood’s of 5-19; M Homewood 126 and Chadwick 102 also becoming two of five centurions. Riding high at the start of July saw the start of some thrilling fixtures as DCC narrowly beat Chertsey as 122 played 102. A last-over victory in the searing heat at Hampton saw 50s for Chisman and Horton as Gregg bowled to victory in a season-best 5-41. A youthful side disposed of Alleyn as the emergence of Smith and Huggett shone but it was the experienced A Homewood who sealed it with a fine 105*. A further draw at Chessington (with them 9 down) and the hammering of Cobham saw the run continue as the depth of the club’s talent was used. The crucial top-of-the-table clash at Stoke showed DCC’s true desire and spirit as from 40-6 the irreplaceable Horton and 15-year-old Kinsey set a decent total. In reply DCC showed nerve with Quinn providing another match winning performance. A final day win against Chertsey saw the team remain unbeaten with more runs from Chadwick completing a quite incredible feat. Having the division’s leading run scorer Horton (676 @ 48) and second leading wicket taker Quinn (32 @ 14) always helps the cause, however there were individual performances of the highest level across the whole season; M Homewood scored 364 @ 40, A Homewood 330 @ 33, Chisman 303 @ 20, Rogers 265 @ 33 and Chadwick 234 @ 33. Gregg took 26 wkys @ 10, A Homewood 24 @ 14 and Rogers 18 @ 12. Massive thanks go to P Creasey, C Burn, D Murton, C Pike and A Pavey for scoring, umpiring and tea duties across the season.

Dulwich 1st XI had one of their toughest seasons of recent years and were relegated to Division 2. The opening match epitomised the campaign ahead for the players. Having been bowled out for just 105, Dulwich managed to take Old Whitgiftians down to the wire. With two runs required and only one wicket left, Old Whitgiftians made it past the post thanks to a dropped catch at third man. Had that catch been taken the season could have been very different. Many of the players showed resilience and strength of character in the face of great adversity. Anil Mahey managed to compile the highest runs total (463 @ 27) and Chris Lester included two five-wicket hauls amongst his 20 wickets. The highlight of the season was the great effort of the players in the two games against Farnham. Having travelled for what always seems a life-time, the team managed to produce a fine bowling performance away from home, reducing Farnham to 181, helped by a superb spell of off- from Salaar Waqar (18-5- 36-5). Following Nick Hudson’s lead with 68, the total was chased down, albeit with a few hiccups along the way. The return fixture (the final game of the season) was equally successful and the team’s only other victory. Excellent bowling from Naeem Iqbal (9-1-26-3) and Levi Olver (10-5-16-3) saw Farnham dismissed for 131 before Anil Mahey (43), Jonathan Lewis (28) and Gareth Cornick (28*) led a solid run chase. Although a season to forget, that win in the last match helped restore a little confidence and acted as a basis upon which to build the team’s campaign for 2014. Sincere thanks to John Lewis for his first-class scoring and unfailing support. The 2nd XI had a reasonably successful season and finished fifth in Division 1. A run of five wins and just one defeat in eight games midway through the summer gave the team a real chance of reclaiming their Premier Division spot at the first attempt, but a crucial defeat at the hands of promotion rivals East Molesey on 17th August put paid to their hopes. A more settled side would undoubtedly have done better, but availability was mixed and as a result the team was constantly chopping and changing. One of the more regular players, Stuart Ferguson was the leading run scorer with 315 @ 28.6. Skipper Gareth Cornick (264 @ 44) batted really well early on before being promoted to bolster the 1st XI batting; Ed Kemp hit three half-centuries in just seven innings, totalling 220 @ 44, whilst Nick Hudson made 251 @ 35.9, which included an excellent 124, the team’s only century, in the home win over Valley End. Tom Gatenby led the bowling department with 17 wickets @ 13.8, and there were match-winning returns from spinners Alex Gledhill (7-25 vs. Sanderstead), Daniel Anthony (6-29 vs. Cheam) and medium pacer Kieran Reeves (6-41 vs. Trinity Mid-Whitgiftians). Many thanks go to regular umpire Mel Stevens. The 3rd XI also showed many changes during the season but still managed ten victories and finished in

58 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports fourth position. A highlight was defeating eventual champions Wimbledon both home and away. Euan Johnson showed increasing maturity and scored most runs, 278 @ 34.8, whilst Raj Tulsiani (262 @ 29.1) and Andy Bailey (210 @ 26.3), who shared the captaincy, were the other batsmen to exceed 200 runs. Richard Beckett bowled steadily throughout with 16 wickets @ 16.8, but the only other player to take ten or more wickets was late recruit Seb Ullah who also recorded 163 runs @ 40.8 with some explosive batting in the middle order. A number of promising youngsters were given chances in the latter half of the season and most acquitted themselves well, in particular 16-year-old Chris Stone, who made 68 against Reigate Priory, and Patrick George with his left-arm spinners. Thanks go to umpire Alan Edwards. After back-to-back triumphs, the 4th XI was hunting a hat-trick of Premier Division titles. Despite losing to old rivals Wimbledon in the second game of the season, a string of impressive victories saw the team top the table in mid-June, when they managed to win at Normandy on a day that saw many fixtures abandoned due to persistent rain. A mixture of wins and winning draws saw the team in second place when Wimbledon visited Dulwich in early August. As with the first meeting of the sides, Wimbledon proved the better team and won by four wickets, the loss all but ended the hat-trick dream for Dulwich. The title may have eluded the side and a final day loss at Reigate Priory meant being nudged into third place by Sunbury, but it was a season full of fine performances. Ten different batsmen passed fifty, with Kamran Munawar making a century at Guildford with some breath-taking batting. Obafemi Shokoya chipped in with two half-centuries on his way to 180 runs for the team and, most pleasing of all, three of the Club’s younger players, Greg Bond, Sam Ellison and Chris Stone each scored fifties. With the ball, it was medium pacers Rezaul Haque (18 wickets @ 12.2) and captain Simon Bailey (16 @ 14.6) who led the way, with Mangal Nasiri also making a considerable contribution to an ever-reliable attack. A season containing 11 wins and just three losses will certainly go down as a success and the team will be looking to come back in 2014 to mount a serious challenge for the title again. A big thank you to regular umpire Chris Reardon.

The side was strengthened by the arrival of Tom Scollay and Tim Handle alongside the return of opening bowler Henry Jones and former captain Sam Burge. Confidence in maintaining Premier League status grew after a narrow 13 run defeat in the opening game against Wimbledon which saw the team compete well throughout. Unfortunately, this was a theme which continued throughout the season with a slight lack of experience contributing to the team not being able to press home the advantage in match winning positions. Nevertheless, memorable victories were managed against Sutton, Malden Wanderers, Reigate Priory and Guildford, the latter two being thanks to match winning bowling performances from Henry Jones (18-7-31-3) and Ross Paxton (10.2-3-16-5) respectively. Notable performances came from Sam Burge (604 runs), Tom Scollay (483 runs and 24 wickets), Henry Jones (21 wkts) and Ross Paxton (20 wkts). Despite finishing 9 points adrift of safety the season was an enjoyable learning curve for a young side, the majority of whom have been developed through the club’s thriving colts section. The experience gained will stand the side in good stead in future years as the long term ambition of playing Premier League cricket continues to be worked towards. 2013 has obviously been a successful 2nd XI season and is a product of many years of hard work from a lot of people within the club. There is no doubt that the 2nd XI are about to embark on a standard of cricket that is long overdue, and thoroughly deserved! Batting wise: there was some excellent dealing in the January transfer window and EMCC managed to secure the free transfer of Toby Green from Woking & Horsell. Toby scored well over 300 runs for the 2s before getting the call up to the 1s where he then went on to score 95* against one of the best sides in the league, Weybridge. Other notable contributions with the bat came from Nick Stevens who scored 367 runs, and took 16 wickets behind the stumps. Neil Campbell again chipped in with 312 runs. Bowling wise: this year the side was very much blessed with having too many options, which is always a great position to be in when captaining. Most teams were subject to a very hostile opening burst from Gavin McMillian (36 wkts) and Nuno Bernades (19 wkts), and tended to be followed up with the usual guile from Ben Campbell (16 wkts), Henry Glynn (12 wkts), Jack Miller (26 wkts) and Nilesh Odehra (8 wkts).

59 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports There were quite a few highlights this season: batting wise the performance of the season was George Cairns remarkable 170* away at Valley End. Player of the year: It was a relatively easy decision and pretty unanimous, Gavin McMillian. His bowling has been superb this year, with some very hostile spells at 2nd XI level, taking 36 wickets. His batting has also been a serious asset, scoring >200 runs with the majority being scored in boundaries. Obviously next season is going to be tough, however it is definitely not beyond the realms of the team, and not beyond the realms for every team within this club; this is just a starting point, and will look to cement a place in the top division of 2nd XI cricket. Hopefully with the 2nd XI in the Premier league it will aid the 1st XI in its quest to regain Premier league status. Equally for those youngsters at the club, it will be a very good standard of cricket, and something to aspire to play in. It will require hard work from all involved, and there will be no room for complacency; the side looks forward to the challenges that await in the 2014 season! It was a 3rd XI season that brought back pride, the winning habit and self-belief to the Moles plus many positive outcomes which Moles will be taking to the 2014 summer. The promising young bunch of players such as Billy Dawson, Micky Strang and Senura Jayasinghe, the return of some of the experienced players such as Kevin Ingram, Chet Stringfield and Tom Whitehead and two veteran seam bowlers (Kevin Lawler and Pal Sarai) who claimed no. 2 and 3 spots in the leading wicket takers table in the league. In addition, there were improved performances in the batting department, in terms of averages and total individual scores. In summary, 2013 was one the best seasons for East Molesey 3rd XI cricket team for some years. However, now the side is challenged with a bigger task, competing on a higher level with more competitive and talented opponents. Thus, it is essential that Moles start planning and preparation for the season early and make sure the players are trained for the bigger challenges both mentally and physically. The 4th XI got off to a slow start losing the first three games but persevered with its youth policy and bounced back to finish mid table. At one time 9 under U16s took to the field in a season which saw over 25 U16s introduced to senior cricket. Notable batting performances came from Theo Talbot and Alistair Doughty with veteran Darius Burge chipping in with over 200 runs. Also pleasing was the development of spinners Jay Odedra and Josh Tomlinson who should be even more of a handful next season.

Where 2012 could have been said to be disappointing for the 1st XI, 2013 was anything but. From the first match the side set out to dominate and, with few exceptions, that was the tone for the whole season. The welcome return of Luke Reece with a record-breaking 1157 league runs at an average of 89.00 (not forgetting his 17 wickets) went a long way to seeing the team to match-winning totals and his return seemed to inject a new lease of life into Dave Risk who contributed a best-ever 611 runs @ 55.55, as well as 13 catches. Matt Main, James Tindall, Jamie Powell and Chris Douglas all contributed match-winning performances with the bat, always just when they were needed. The real depth of the batting was shown in the last game of the season when habitual no. 11 Doug Naylor took his chance to bat at no. 4 with 56*. The great team effort by the batsmen was backed up by the bowlers. The introduction of Marlon Cornelius (25 wickets @ 14.08) early in the season added a little more spice to an already good attack and he certainly had the opposition batsmen jumping around once he had found some match fitness. Spinner Dave Morris was the leading wicket taker with 31 @ 18.65, and these two were ably backed up by Doug Naylor (21 @ 24.81), Ryan Dennis (20 @ 22.85) and Gavin Sinclair (19 @ 28.32). Many thanks, as always, to Jan and family for the best teas in the league, and to Debbie for scoring, running round after the team and generally making things happen off the pitch. The turning point of the 2nd XI’s season was the game against Streatham & Marlborough. With four games of the season left it was imperative that the side win all its remaining matches to stand a chance of going up. Streatham batted particularly well to a total of 278 for 4. Egham were up against it but managed to chase it down with 4 overs to spare. The next big challenge was against Oxted & Limpsfield, who were in third place with a game to go and Egham fourth. Egham won the toss and batted to 228, with the help of a Bradley Staight hat-trick the side had enough on a wearing wicket. Due to Maori Oxshott being docked 20 points (after already being promoted) and losing the same weekend the team jumped from fourth to second. On the final league game of the season the side managed to overcome the new champions Old Whitgiftians to achieve its first promotion for five seasons. For the most part the team was excellent except for an

60 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports indifferent run at the start of the summer holidays, due to poor availability. Mention needs to be made to Wayne Johncock, Jamie Hamilton and James Sprackling all of whom scored over 400 league runs. As for the bowling Egham had four bowlers averaging 20 or below making it a particularly miserly bowling attack, especially on the slower paced wickets. Particular mention has to be made of Amod Pandit and Bradley Staight who performed well with the ball in hand. As for the all-rounders, two young lads Adam Dix and Harry Morris both scored invaluable runs and very useful wickets when the situation was most demanding. An outstanding season the team can barely wait for a new one to begin. It was a frustrating season for the 3rd XI with a nasty sting at the tail. The first half of the season was marked by limited availability and the fielding of understrength sides in comparison with recent seasons. The high point was a good win against Purley. Good, consistent batting performances were in limited supply in the first half of the season, the notable exceptions being Charlie Newton’s 97 at Chessington and Toby Prior’s 53* vs. Alleyn & HO. Chris Nash produced some superb knocks vs. Woking & H, Alleyn & HO and East Moseley at the front of the order in the later stages to good effect. There were some strong bowling performances across the season. Gavin Byrom (25 wickets @ 15) and Rohit Moudgil (22 @ 17) were excellent throughout and should take much credit. The club wishes Gavin well as he moves back to Merseyside. With 2 wins versus Leatherhead and Alleyn & HO pulling out of the league it was thought relegation had been avoided. Unfortunately an administrative error meant a 19 point deduction and consequently relegation, to much disappointment, at the season’s close. The 4th XI year started with light availability and quite rightly a number of last year’s side getting their chance to prove themselves as budding players for the 3rd XI. As normal the team turned to the colts for new talent. The team says a big thank you to all the colts’ coaches for doing such a good job during the closed season giving the 4th XI a nucleus of colts from which to rebuild the side. The colts provided a good selection of batsman and bowlers: Crawford Wilson, Cam Clark and Dan Telford all performed well and have matured throughout the season. The team was also lucky enough to find 2 new adults to bolster the team this year Tim Campbell and Danny Richardson who gave the 4th XI a little more rigidity in the batting and bowling areas. The season showed some real personal efforts with the bat and the ball as well as fielding: Ram Bala scored 272 @ 24.7, Crawford Wilson 146 @ 16.3 and Danny Richardson 148 @ 24.7. The bowlers were George Matthews with an average of 13.9, Crawford Wilson 10.3 and Michael Hawes 16.9. In the field a young man for whom it was his first year playing senior cricket ended up showing that in the field he had the heart of a lion, Cam Clark. If he continues to improve the way he has this year, who knows what lies ahead for him. Thanks must go to everyone who once again put so much into their cricket this year with bat, ball and fielding to make this season as enjoyable and special as ever. Also it was nice not to end up last in the league. Thanks also to everyone behind the scenes at Egham CC who make it possible to enjoy cricket every weekend during the season, without these people there would be no Egham CC.

An historic "perfect" season saw the 1st XI finish with 18 victories in 18 games, picking up every available point along the way. The batting was very strong throughout, with all the regular top order scoring heavily and a strong lower order always ready to provide the finishing touches. The team was only bowled out once, on a very wet wicket at Addiscombe, when recovering from 50-6 to set 186 they still went on to win by 100 runs. OP Godfrey Stevens was outstanding with 3 tons and 5 half centuries in his 961 runs. Lowe and Moore both scored centuries in their 528 and 497 respectively. Hudson and Batley picked up a couple of 50s each, with one each from Zeb and Edwards. Waters and Elbrow always contributed strongly, despite limited opportunities. Wicketkeeper Elbrow was outstanding at times picking up 25 victims with some fine glove work; strong support came from Lowe and Fairlie-Clark. The bowling was always powerful, a variety of options meant that someone was always able to make the breakthrough, reflected by the team taking 176 out of 180 possible wickets. Stevens led the way again with 54, from Secchi and Zeb with 21 wickets each. Honess, Haq-Jan and Somerford shared new ball duties and usually provided early inroads. All-rounders Hudson and Moore provided some crucial spells and important wickets. Anderson, Edwards and Rawoo offered further options and did well when called upon. Thanks to the tea ladies for their excellent work and Tony Edwards for scoring and help on match days.

61 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Over all a record breaking season was just reward for an exceptional group of players and a series of consistent, high quality performances. The Team would like to dedicate this season to the memory of Mike Taylor, who did so much for Epsom Cricket Club, both on the pitch and behind the scenes. A good friend greatly missed by everyone. 2013 was a challenging season for the 2nd XI that contained some great results and a few disappointing ones, but most importantly saw the team secure their place in the top flight of the 2nd XI league for another season. Five wins did not do justice, with a couple of the losses on the very last ball of exciting matches. There were some great batting performances through the season with Allan Fairlie-Clarke (135), Nasir Essa (78*), Andy Hewitson (60) and Rajeev Abeywickrama (72*) all contributing match winning innings. Fairlie-Clarke with 491 runs and Essa with 415 runs led the run scorers over the season. Additionally, Greg Hughes’s contributions at the top of the order throughout the season were very important in setting a solid base for the side to push on from and hopefully pushing on again next season. With the ball, Hughes was the top wicket taker just ahead of Rob Anderson, Stuart Brandon and Essa. Brandon was new to the club this year and impressed throughout including an 8 wicket haul against Reigate. Hughes also produced 2 five wicket hauls. In the first half of the season James Tuck impressed with his leg- spin, and then his younger brother Luke also with his in the second half of the season. Many of the team also contributed to the 1st XIs success last season at one point or another and it was great experience for all. My thanks go to Dave for umpiring all season and to all the tea ladies for their work. With an exciting crop of youngsters looking to push through next season and hopefully more senior players being available for more of the season, 2014 looks to be an interesting opportunity for the team. Having reflected on last year’s 3rd XI report written by dear friend and true clubman, Mike Taylor (RIP), the 2013 season has taken a backward step as the side was not as competitive as it had been in previous seasons. There was no chance of being able to field the same 11 players in consecutive weeks, as the team used over 30 players during the season. Having lost experienced players from the 2012 season, the experimental decision of entering a 5th XI into the central league diluted the best young players’ availability to play for the 3rd and 4th XIs. This experiment will be reviewed for 2014 to give the colts the opportunity to play adult competitive cricket in the 3rd XI and 4th XI rather than playing survival cricket from week to week and losing their enthusiasm and interest. Having lost the 2012 player of the season, Luke Tuck, to the 2nd XI, the side was lucky to have another colt as player of the season 2013, , who will no doubt be a regular for the 2nd XI in 2014. Useful contributions for the 3rd XI this season with the bat were Farooq Mangal, Ali Hassan Butt, Kris Nath, Matt Dunn and Andy McNab; with the ball were Matt Dunn, James Tuck, Jimmy Finch and Ali Hassan Butt. Ajay Alva also did well with both bat and ball. Thanks to umpire Dud and James Tuck with the stats. Special thanks to everyone who has made themselves available to play and to those who contribute behind the scenes to make it possible for a pleasant Epsom CC 3rd XI 2013 season. The newly promoted 4th XI suffered early in the season due to general lack of availability and struggled to recover as the season progressed, resulting in an unfortunate relegation back to the Central League. However, the team gelled well and put in excellent individual and team performances. The newcomers grasped the opportunities that arose and special praise goes to Nik Vidler, Matt Wilkinson, Abdul Salam, Mark Lassiter and Tom Gallagher who really helped strengthen the team. These were supported by excellent performances from veterans Kamal, Neil and Pete who contributed much needed stability in times of crisis. Sorely missed were those regular 4ths from last year whose exceptional performances saw them promoted to higher teams, particularly Sam Gowar, Ali Hussan-Butt and Andy McNab. Also missed was the enigmatic captaincy of Mark Honess, this year being replaced by the reliable but ageing Mahendra Patel. As always, special thanks to Christine who lifted spirits with her wonderful teas. No 4th’s report is ever complete without mention of Majid and his 5s without whom the 4ths could not exist. 2014 promises to be an exciting year full of opportunities when the team looks to stabilise, nurture and build upon the talents discovered this year.

After four seasons in Division 2, Esher 1st XI (led by new captain, Grant Meadows) secured a triumphant return to Division 1 by finishing runners-up. Esher’s successful campaign was founded upon excellent contributions from their top six batsmen. The

62 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports prolific openers Hopkinson (637) and Ahmed (538) produced an average partnership of 74. Mason (439) and Lowe (426) also scored heavily and several match winning innings were played by Mutucumarana (264) and Scott (227). The bowling was led, once again, by the excellent Irshad with 40 wickets. He was ably supported by Lowe (20), Scott (16), Mason (15), Lane (14) and Winder (13). Esher started the season in grand style with emphatic wins against Chessington and Trinity. The first set- back came in game three against Walton. At the start of June, back to back wins were completed against Worcester Park and Ashford. A superb 145 from Hopkinson helped to chase 264 for a thrilling last ball victory against Worcester Park. The timed matches did not start well; an abandonment against Pyrford and winning draws against Purley and Cranleigh. July saw Esher return to form with victory against Horsley & Send. Walton outplayed Esher again and it was left to the last pair of Winder and Meadows to bat for 25 overs to salvage a losing draw. On a bowler-friendly pitch, Esher posted a very decent total of 229 against Worcester Park, after being 122-8. Worcester Park were then shot out for 89. This started a run of 5 consecutive victories which took Esher to the top of the table. On another bowler-friendly pitch, Chessington were bowled out for 51 (Irshad 5- 13 and Lowe 5-28). After another comfortable win against Trinity, totals of 314-2 and 319-5 were too good for Ashford and Pyrford, respectively. With 2 games to go, Esher travelled to Cranleigh knowing that victory would secure promotion and the title. Esher batted first and were bowled out for an under-par score of 213. Cranleigh made light work of chasing down the total. However, promotion was secured as Chessington had lost! Esher faced Horsley & Send in the final match, knowing they had to better Cranleigh’s result to be champions. Esher secured a bonus point victory but news filtered through that Cranleigh had won by 5 wickets. So Esher had to settle for the runners-up spot. Congratulations to champions Cranleigh, who claimed their 3rd consecutive promotion! Esher are looking forward to the return of Division 1 cricket in 2014. Many thanks to scorer Gary Furness. Esher 2nd XI season promised a lot after a strong finish last season that saw the team push close for promotion. Disappointingly, this season was very different and, following a string of spilled catches, batting collapses and underperformance, the team was relegated. At times there were glimpses of the form of last summer, as Henry Witten and Joseph Gilhooly recorded centuries; there was the occasional fifty and some mid order power hitting. Generally speaking across the season the top order failed to score the runs required; it was not for a lack of ability or starts, but application. The bowling was solid throughout the season, with Ejaz Hussein and Jim Steven being notable performers. However, the old cliché that catches win matches rings true. Certainly holding more of them would have helped to stave off relegation. With a few exceptions (some flyers taken by Mesome Hussein and John Woollhead in the slips and by Henry Witten and Joe Gilhooly in the outfield), the catching was shambolic. This is an area that, along with application with the bat, needs to be addressed if this team is to bounce back next year. Fielding and catching in particular are an area that, across a season, a team has some control over through solid preparation, but this year Esher 2s regularly failed to prepare as they should. The season has finished and pride needs to be restored next year. Esher 2s had the talent and opportunities to build on last summer’s successes, often fielding stronger sides than had been possible for a while, but failed to do so. Next year let’s hope it is a different story. It was definitely a 3rd XI season of two halves. The club struggled at the start to raise a side but later in the season, with a settled side and emerging juniors, it picked up 5 victories to end up finishing 10th. The stand-out batsmen was Callum Allbrook, who at 16 developed promisingly from last season to be top run scorer (228 runs @ 32). His 86 not out against West End was a well-constructed match winning performance. Guy Simpkin (159 @ 27) and Chris Burton (131 @ 33) contributed well. Three more juniors, Ben Littlewood, Harry Alderson and William Tilston, showed tremendous application and technique, each scoring undefeated big fifties. However, to challenge for promotion next season, the batters will have to contribute more and bat with more patience. Bowling remains the strength, with plenty of variety and threat. The bowlers stayed positive, applying themselves well throughout the season. The stand-out bowler was Azhar; regardless of conditions or age of the ball, he moved it both ways, troubling every batsman, resulting in 3 “5 fers” and great economy. Richie Harrison put it on the spot from first to last, always troubling batmen with flight and spin. The stand-out game of the season was played in front of the biggest crowd, in the rain and dark, when the side lost by a narrow margin to the eventual league champions. The game ebbed and flowed and in the end the conditions proved to be harder to bowl and field in that to bat in. Throughout the season, the team played in fantastic spirit, umpired neutrally and respected the opposition: well done to all. This season 48 players represented the 3rd XI. Many thanks to all who played and supported, to Dimi for acting as vice-captain again with great enthusiasm and to Chris Burton and Imran Khan, who both filled in as captain when necessary.

Following last season’s poor performance, Farncombe 1st XI was looking to consolidate in Division 4 and provide a platform for the younger members of the playing XIs to develop from. The season had its ups and downs. Doing the double over Edward Alleyn was a high, yet being rolled for 57 at Emanuel a low. In general it was a poor season with the bat with only Matt Cussans offering much in the way of a reasonable season. The bowling as always was consistent, with Luke Edwards, Liam Edwards, Lee Hudson and Michael Barnes providing stern tests for the majority of the sides faced. One major positive from this season was the debuts of Rob Voller and Bradley Adams, who at the ages of 15 more than held their own on occasions and look to be bright prospects for the club. Ryan Luff also stepped up on occasions and the 18 year old will look to push on further next season. Overall, availability was poor, and on many occasions both the 1st and 2nd teams were struggling around for a side on Saturday mornings. If availability can be sorted, and everyone stays fit and healthy, Farncombe can look forward to a promising 2014 season.

Five home victories for the 1st XI against the top five sides in the league were eventually enough to stave off relegation in Farnham’s return to Division 1. The first half of the season was defined by missed opportunities and the side languished at the bottom of the table. Only 18 year-old George Dale shone with some fine ; 20 wickets in his début season make him a real prospect. He led the way amongst many young players who are securing first team places as the squad continues to rejuvenate. Mention too should be made of Joel Walker who showed class with the gloves before being promoted to the top of the order where he struck back-to-back fifties and Angus Boobbyer whose 143 versus Leatherhead was as good a knock as you will see. However, it was the old guard that came to the fore when the club needed them and it was the home game against Cheam that turned fortunes. Captain Guy Hicks (top run-scorer) led from the front with a gutsy hundred that allowed the rest of the top-order to express themselves on the way to 320-4 declared. This was the highest score at the Park for many years and testament to the improvements made by groundsman Rob Dale who also chipped in with 17 wickets. Farnham then bowled out a strong Cheam line-up for 171 thanks largely to the ever-beguiling spin of Tom Hicks. Tom was, once again, leader with the ball and his 23 wickets in only half a season were vital in claiming four of the five victories. After this victory, the side grew in confidence and Aaron Williams stood up to be counted with some stylish late-season innings. It was left to the Dorset pair of Williams and Hicks to steer the team to victory and safety in a crucial game against Camberley, ready to make a bigger impact on the league next term. The 2nd XI season never really ignited. Six wins and six losses with a final league position of 6th. Good positions were squandered too often and only a couple of games will be remembered from the season: almost beating the league champions Sunbury in a great run chase at the Park and the tied match away at Sanderstead when taking their last 3 wickets for only 1 run. There is enough talent in this side to challenge at the top but too often if one discipline succeeded the other failed in what ended up, ultimately, a very frustrating season. Of the batting, Toby Ward scored 363 runs at an average of 30 and Tom Grimes reached the 300 aggregate. Nathan Thorpe scored the only century and another half century in his limited appearances and, those apart, only Alec Goldsworthy would reach 200 runs. He, though, can look back on a successful all round season. He finished leading wicket-taker with his slows, taking 24 in total including the only 5-for, ahead of his brother Robbie who led the seamers with 17. Newcomer Jamie Jones bowled some impressive spells and there were other limited successes for skipper Ian Thorpe with 13 wickets and George Osborne with 11. Thanks as always to Mrs T (Mum) for another season on the book, to Dave Marshall, Dave Goldsworthy and Mr T (Dad) for umpiring throughout the season and to Carol for her excellent teas. 64 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports GODALMING www.godalmingcc.co.uk Main Ground Busbridge Lane, Godalming GU7 1QD 01483 417778 Power WiFi / S 1st XI 2nd XI 3rd XI 4th XI Colts Fixture Sec Harri Mayne John Milner N/A N/A Stephen Wahl Alasdair Brookman 07894 637157 07973 488692 07768 800650 07821 128041 Chairman Secretary Council Rep.

With an influx of new players over the winter Godalming 1st XI had a real buzz going into this season. The side welcomed Mike O’Day, Dale Bryant, Peter Shepherd, Ryan Elgar and Steve Horne as new faces. Horne had a great start but work got in the way and he was unavailable for many games in the end. It was a similar story for Bryant but he also exerted a positive influence on the team when he was playing. On the field, bowling options were not an issue, with the majority of the team able to turn their arm over. Derek Agge (despite bowling on one good leg all year) still managed 200 overs and bagged 38 wickets @ 17. O’Day bowled with enthusiasm and found his stride later in the year taking 15 @ 27. Elgar opened smartly taking 23 @ 22 while veterans Nigel Churaman and John Milner bowled fewer overs than they would have liked but still picked up 24 and 11 wickets respectively. Skipper Harri Mayne led from the front with the bat, scoring 538 runs @ 36, O’Day achieved 474 runs including a magnificent 141*, and Shepherd 445 with a top score of 156*, both highlights of the year. Strong middle order support came from Tom Hickey including a maiden century (115*). Starting with three wins from three and the tails were up but after a few games got away from the team it became a frustrating middle season and the side knew August was going to be the hardest month as most of both teams were on holiday or attending events. Position in the table mid year not so good! Finishing 4th this season therefore (our highest spot to date) came as a result of a great run at the end of the season and bodes well for 2014. Thanks to Helen Ross for scoring, John Milner for preparing more great wickets and umpires John Allen, Roger Cornelius and Simon Steel. The 2nd XI season ebbed and flowed also. The first game vs. Met Police was comfortably won. The second game was also a win, despite a frenetic Woodmansterne start with boundaries galore chasing 275. Good runs (53*) and bowling (3-31) from Torin Davis. George Dukes' maiden Championship wicket in the 3rd game converted into a 5-wicket haul no less, at Old Emanuel. After a sterling effort by Osborne (52) the Godalming feathers were unceremoniously ruffled at Old Hamptonians and the side ended up short. A decent start against Guildford City became a major collapse from 193-4 to 196 all out and the team unsurprisingly lost the game despite scores from Gary Sewell (69) and George Stow (54). Against Cranleigh on an amazing track the team “narrowly” fell short; definitely second that day. Mid season, with skipper James Fargus suffering from a forearm stress injury, the side had a spate of great wins. Mark Wright scored a dogged 61 against Kempton. Then followed a 2nd win against Ripley by 10 runs for stand in captain Charlie Haine (53). Dominic Coakley (43) and the flourishing Macgregor Cox (54) the other stand-outs. Having been set a steep chase by Old Emanuel (another 275), the team secured a tight win by 4 wickets; Haine reaching his maiden league century (116), ably supported by Nick Clarke (56). Haine’s run bonanza continued (82*) at Woodmansterne partnered by Stow (58). Against Old Hamptonians, one of the few rain affected games saw the side cross the line chasing a revised 203 but with two jug avoidances; Haine (46) and Fargus (95). A gargantuan bowling performance of 2013 was James Crowder (5-16) vs. Kempton. Last game of the season, with third place to play for, saw a last over nail biting finish with Ripley reaching the required 289 by 2 wickets. Only the pork sizzling on the BBQ topped that. A much enjoyed season and the team take confidence into next year. Thanks to Alan Stephenson for umpiring.

Winning the opening three matches against Malden Wanderers, Spencer and East Molelsey offered hope but a heavy defeat against Sunbury was then the start of a chastening run of results, 65 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports which brought one point in seven weeks. The lowest point began when Guildford bowled out East Molesley for 116 thanks to Tom Jewell's remarkable 9-49. A collapse from 73-2 to 99 all out left scars which lasted the rest of the summer despite the best efforts of captain-coach Jeremy Greaves. Ironically it was a victory over Sunbury one week later which gave Guildford their only win in the time format – repeating 2012’s poor form in these matches. Guildford's record in 50-over cricket was far better so when relegation seemed a real possibility, finishing the campaign seeing off Banstead, Sutton and Weybridge meant a rebound to seventh. The loss of key players from the previous year, irregular availability and asking too much of some of the youngsters at Premier level, were all negatives. Left-arm spinner Joe Pipkin's 30 wickets made him consistently the most reliable bowler although he lacked the support of Chris Coombs's off-breaks for much of the time due to injury and his finishing power at the end of an innings proved crucial. With many injuries and absences among the bowlers, Tom Collins and Phil Nicholls did a steady job with the new ball in the final weeks. Alex Senn was comfortably the most consistent batsman with 507 runs and will be much missed. No one scored a century all season. Chris Thompson's 58, 5-23, three catches and a run out in the crucial match at Sutton were vital in securing victory. Guildford must learn from the struggles of 2013, and become much better at the longer form of the game, to become a threat again. A difficult year for the 2nd XI ended in a relatively comfortable league position something which looked unlikely during the first half of the season. The season was split into 2 halves with the team really struggling until mid July when players released from school commitments ensured the club had improved availability. The batting during the 1st half of the season was the primary reason for the struggles. Apart from Julian Hare, no batsmen imposed themselves on games and made significant scores. The bowlers however performed very well and consistently dug the batsmen out of the hole and almost won numerous games. Phil Nichols, Chris Weill and James Ashton all led the bowling during this time backed up with good performances by Neil Harding and Tom Shrives. During the second half of the season the batting started to match the bowlers’ standards and performances and results improved, culminating in victories over Banstead, Reigate Priory and Sutton to ensure Premier league survival. Then Nick and Jon French scored big and important runs during the second half which, in conjunction with aggressive opening batting from Henry Straw, allowed platforms to be built for significant scores. Cameron Spence and Jon French added to the good bowling performances to show how a full second team could have challenged for honours. With good club recruitment over the winter the second team should be able to contest with the best teams of the league avoiding the drop zone. One benefit of the lack of availability this year has been the exposure of some of the younger players to regular 2nd team cricket and in Jon French, Freddie McMillan, Alex Sweet and Jonny Charles the side has found some quality juniors who will play an increasingly important role next year. Thanks to Ed Bailey for his scoring, Peter Twitchens for umpiring and Dave, Kev and Jane for the food. Having been promoted to the 3rd XI Premier following an undefeated season in 2012, the 2013 season could not have been more different. Due to a number of changes in personnel it was difficult to compete at the much stronger level offered by the Premier league. Guildford were able to win only two games but can take heart from the fact that they competed well early season without quite managing to get across the finishing line. Standout performances were few and far between. However, Josh Rix made excellent contributions with the bat from the lower order, with Neal Harding and Nick Armstrong making some devastating contributions with the ball. Tim Goodman put in enormous effort as skipper. Thanks go to Barry Williams for umpiring and Derek Morgan for scoring. Following a year in which Guildford won 10 and lost only two games on the way to winning the 4th XI West Division in 2012, 2013 was always going to be tough. Given the clear step-up in the standard of cricket, to win six out of eighteen and finish 6th in a league containing the strongest clubs in Surrey was a considerable achievement. Guildford struggled early in the season in the limited overs format, often getting into winning positions but lacking experienced heads to drive home the advantage. Signs of improvement showed throughout the season and the experience gained by the youngsters in dealing with pressure situations will stand them in great stead for the 2014 campaign. Once the longer form kicked in, the side fared better, with four wins. Initially the bowling was led by Andy Green (19 @ 7), whilst Mike Tilley (17 @ 8) and Mainul Hossain (7 @ 16) formed a formidable opening partnership towards the end of the season, keeping runs to a minimum. Although overall results show that the side struggled to build on these starts, there were real positives in the development of Bradley Eustace and Harrison Charles, who both bowled with good pace, taking regular wickets, whilst Will Jenner made some useful contributions and showed real improvement in his consistency. Lack of runs was an issue, reflected by the fact that only three players scored more than 100 runs or averaged more than 20, with only four 50s registered throughout the year. Plenty of players got starts, but these were rarely converted into match-winning innings. One notable exception was Philip Hodgson (228 @ 38), who, as captain for the first half of the season, led from the front with some vital knocks, including two match winning half centuries. Youngsters Benji Thomas and Nathan Tilley showed great potential with promising innings at important times – ones to watch in the future. 66 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports GUILDFORD CITY www.guildfordcitycc.co.uk Main Ground Sutherland Memorial Pk, Clay Lane, Burpham GU4 7JU Phone Captain Power 3rd XI Ground Old Guildfordians, London Road, Guildford GU1 1TU 01483 300752 1st XI 2nd XI 3rd XI 4th XI Colts Fixture Sec Chandra Asfand Khan Mohammed Ali N/A Stuart Brown Ibrar Afzal Mutucumarana 07961 656592 07957 610821 07796 268953 07831 296050 07748 592079 Chairman Secretary Council Rep.

After promotion from the Fullers League as Champions, there was justified optimism in the 1st XI’s chances of winning Division 5 with some good recruitment. Two of the young talented players left to join Premiership Clubs and two others left for family reasons. Mohammed Qaiser took over the gloves and also the vice captaincy role. The side was rebuilt, and the new recruits for the 2013 season did exceptionally well. Zafar Khan took his opportunity having come through the colts and lower elevens. Amila Peris brought his ‘all rounder’ abilities, sometimes opening both batting and bowling. The Deniptiyage brothers brought further all round capabilities to a side now brimming with batsman and bowling opportunities. Kamran Abassi, at just 19, consistently took wickets with his late in-swing. As a whole the fielding side improved dramatically for 2013. Usually with a team of all rounders, not everyone gets a full game. However there were no complaints and a fantastic team spirit emerged. The fielding and catching reached new heights as the season went on. With four seamers, and six genuine spinners in the side there were options that were a luxury to captain Chandra Mutucumarana who, again, encouraged an attacking and expansive game with bat and ball with his side. Of the seamers, Abdul Hai, Kamran Abassi, Abid Ahmed and Amila Peris all took wickets consistently. Abdul led the attack with his metronomic accuracy. With his late movement either way, he took wickets and was very hard to score off. His experience as a first class cricketer and as a young man was evident to everyone. Kamran, Amila and Abid backed him up superbly all taking plenty of wickets at miserly averages. With three off-spinners, two left arm spinners and a leg break bowler in the side, Chandra had a very strong bowling attack at his disposal. In reality the team often used just two spinners, as Ishara Dilshan, and Sajith Dissanayakka quite often ripped out the middle order between them. Sajith and Abid scored heavily for the 1s throughout the season, with a notable 200 partnership at Stoke D’Abernon. With everyone able to bat, notable innings from individuals flourished throughout the season to either set up, or secure wins. Everyone chipped in. The most pleasing aspect was to see players prepared to sacrifice wickets for the team, in an attempt to score quickly and get totals on the board. A very good all round team performance and the side deserved promotion as Division Winners. The 2nd XI was looking to get promotion to Division 4 after missing out in 2012. The season started off very slowly as the team was missing some players and had to bring in players from the 3rd XI. This resulted in two early defeats. Once the side managed to get the full squad back, it went back to winning ways which resulted in being unbeaten for the remainder of the season. The team had a very good balance with both the bat and ball. The opening bowlers were Faraquat Hussain, who bowled with good pace and aggression, and Asfand Khan, who bowled very economically with his line and length. Khan deserves a special mention of his figures of 10-8-3-5 in the last game to win the league. In addition the team had three consistent spinners in Omar Hussain, Mohammed Ali and Zia ul Hasan who all contributed with the wickets. In the batting department Ali Shah scored 565 runs with six 50s and Sajjad Mohammed scored 437. Both contributed regularly; scoring vital runs, notably, in their 167 run partnership which led to a one wicket win away to Cranleigh. Mohammed Ali also scored 417 runs. Sami Khan, Halim Mohammed and Abdullah Shah all scored important runs at important times. The side also improved in the fielding department as a team and this was vital to winning the league. Sajjad was also brilliant behind the stumps which included 9 stumpings. A special mention to Mohammed Ali who took over the team and duties as captain from Ibrar Afzal in July as the captain sustained an eye injury. Overall this was a really impressive season for the 2nd XI as the side all worked hard on and off the pitch. This was the 3rd XI’s third season in the championship. Considering the difficulties always experienced by an XI subject to losing players at the last minute, this team performed well finishing 6th in the league. This year saw a lot of younger players come in to the team, which took time to adjust but overall performed at a very good level. Asif Hussain bowled consistently well with the ball and also made his maiden century with the bat. Yousaf Kaleem performed consistently with the bat with an average of 53. Azeem Mohammed was the all rounder and performed well in his first season. A special thanks to Amir Mohammed who captained and ensured the side had a good team spirit and good respect for the opposition.

A total of 28 players were used in the 1s this year which is testimony to the strength and depth of the club and bodes well for the future. However a lot of hard work went into making this achievement possible. During the hottest summer for many years and on mainly very good tracks, the 1s found themselves bowling first on 14 occasions out of 17 played (1 abandoned). The effort that goes into bowling first, sometimes for a full 55 overs and not letting an opposition’s get on top of you, cannot be underestimated. The tactic of bowling first paid off well as the side managed to win 6 out of 9 of the crucial timed games mid-season, which formed the backbone for the promotion push. Bowling well is one thing, however you need to be able to chase and hold your nerve when entering tight periods late on in games. The Wick managed to hold their nerve to secure close victories. 3 games come to mind; chasing down 233 at home to Dorking and single wicket wins at Old Paulines and Guildford City were crucial to the team’s success Despite this promotion being a team effort, two players stood out and must be mentioned. Nomaan Ali, another great year, 660 runs @ 55, and 34 wickets @ 17 make him the most valuable player in the league. The commitment of Iain Tong, with 25 wickets @ 22, has been fantastic. The responsibility he has shown in opening the bowling as a strike bowler and then bowling leg spin later on in the innings when needing a spin option was crucial in giving the team balance to the bowling attack. He also contributed 279 runs @ 20 whilst other useful contributions were made by Imran Rashid with 274 runs and 16 wickets, Matt Davies 261 runs and skipper Graeme Tong with 22 wickets. The side looks forward to commencing battle with some familiar and some new teams in Div 4. Having been promoted in 2012 it was always going to be a challenging 2nd XI season. Might the team gain back to back promotions? Or would the side find the standard too tough? The team ended up 7th, which would have been taken at the start. Imran Rashid last year’s skipper was promoted to the 1st XI, just a few weeks before the start of the season, and coming out of semi-retirement Ben Stephens captained. As with many 2nd XIs there was a mixture of up and coming talent, stonewall 2nd XI players, and last minute replacements, using a total of 46 players in the 18 games. Some brilliant individual performances won a few games, but some collective poor performances resulted in a few games being lost when they were there for the taking e.g. Dorking at home. The most memorable game of the season was at Horsley & Send where two players Matt Goldborn, with a broken jaw (don’t hook bouncers without a lid) and Naveendra Weerakoon, with a dislocated shoulder, met at Guildford A&E Despite these injuries and a brilliant hundred from Zohaak Tughral the team ended up just short of a daunting total of 271. The side had excellent team spirit and all enjoyed the season. With a little more stability in the team and application with the bat, promotion is not an unrealistic target for next season. Some of the highlights included a 16 ball 46 to finish a game off before the rain set in by Zohaak Tughral at Warlingham and Fahad Tanveer’s 2 spells of 25 overs of genuinely quick bowling in the July heat will be long remembered. Zohaak starred with the bat, 302 runs @ 43 whilst Fahad Tanveer with 28 wickets @ 16 was well supported by Aqeel Ilyas 18 @ 22 and Ed Charlton 15 @ 16. For the 3rd XI, an ultimately unsuccessful campaign with relegation confirmed with a washout; a collective lack of runs costing the side. The most telling stat was that on only two occasions did the side pass 200. Amongst the batting wreckage, Ian Collier stood out, scoring 393 runs @ 44 and almost twice as many as any other contributor. Matt Goulborn made a defiant 100 against Old Wimbledonians on the opening day but after that only Tom Simcock, Paul Sayce, Nick Clark and Rob Sayce accompanied Collier in passing 50. For all of the defeats, the side had many memorable moments with plenty of bright spots and signs of promise. The side turned the form book on its head three times, finishing the season with consecutive victories over champions Cheam, by 5 wickets, and completing the double over fellow promoted side, Banstead on the last weekend in a low-scoring thriller with a 7 run victory. The side was competitive in most games, clutching defeat from the jaws of victory at Malden Wanderers when falling 9 runs short of the target and losing by one wicket at Epsom On an individual basis, Ian Collier’s runs and keeping stood out while the bowling attack on most weeks stood up to the challenge, Old Wimbledonians 325 on the opening day excepted. The swing bowling of

68 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports youngsters Jack Smith, 13 wickets @ 29 and Dan Kemp, 10 wickets @ 15, took wickets at an economical rate; higher XIs next summer. Schalk van Vuuren 15 wickets @ 19 had many top orders in difficulty with his opening bursts while Alex Dare continued to show his ability to find prodigious turn and cause problems for many good batsmen without getting the reward he deserved. The Wick is looking to bounce back in 2014 and despite the trials of 2013 there is plenty of optimism. Hampton Wick Royal 4th XI entered only its second year in existence, yet it gave true testament to the health of the club, winning the league by 46 points. Throughout the season, no less than 43 players were called upon; from the wily, experienced club members to the raw talent of youth. This perhaps says more about the difficulty facing a 4th XI captain in fielding a side each week, but none the less, with a record of 12 wins, 3 losses and 1 winning draw, it is clear that there is a wealth of talent from which to call upon at the club. The season highlights include a club record innings of 180* by Mark Mackie against East Molesey, a nine -man victory at Egham by chasing down 190 in the last over with one wicket remaining and the all-round clinical display at Ashford, whereby dominance with the bat (278 for 3 off 32) was matched with an equally clinical performance with the ball, bowling out Ashford for 75. Phil Linter led from the front with both bat, 186 runs @ 37, and ball, 28 wickets @ 13. Support came from Nick Clark and Mark Mackie with the bat and Tom Donnelly with the ball. Perhaps most notably of all though were the performances of the numerous and very talented colts who represent a very bright and exciting future for the club.

The 1st XI, led by Jamal Khan, believes that it is better to try and win games rather than accept a draw. This can backfire, but it was their intention to try to win at all costs. By the half way point in the season, this plan had worked and the 1st XI were top of the table, albeit by only one point, having won 5 out of the 8 games. This situation was almost beyond their dreams, and was largely due to the batting of Asmat Ullah (641 runs) and the opening bowling of Randy Gayle and Shahid Khan. Unfortunately, injuries and poor availability marred the 1st XI progress and did not allow them to pursue their dream into the second half of the season. A big thank you goes to the 1st XI scorers Veronica Parr and John Wood and to the groundsman Mike Catt who produced some superb cricket wickets. A slightly disappointing but, nevertheless, encouraging 2nd XI season overall. The side was ably organised and skippered by wicket-keeper Mohammed "Kapi" Kapadia despite suffering since the first friendly of the season from a badly damaged finger. Spirit in the side was good and the first game of the season proved the only debacle. Vikram Singh finished 4th in the league batting averages with 376 runs from 12 knocks at an average of 42. Nigel Angus (7th) scored 342 from 10 innings and Nick Freeman 245 from 9. Rob Micklewright showed class when he played. Richard Bottomly started the season far too late to add any real benefit. Bowling-wise the side was good with Mohsin Bashir, Ben Hook and Abid Hussain's consistency resulting in them all appearing in the league's top 24 performers. Bilal Hussain, although the league’s swiftest, was disappointingly erratic. Sheraz Ahmed was ever-present and ever-reliable. A blend of improving youth with the experience of some of the older guys is the recipe for promotion next year. The pitches were excellent and made for good cricket; thank you Catto. 69 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports KEMPTON www.kemptoncc.play-cricket.com Main Ground Kempton Avenue, Sunbury TW16 5NG 01932 785237 Power 3rd XI Ground As Main Ground 4th XI Ground As Main Ground 1st XI 2nd XI 3rd XI 4th XI Colts Fixture Sec N/A Richard Warne Nick Peters Dylan Richards Peter Slaney Trevor Warne 07545 333752 07904 588989 07906 135998 07973 187172 07795 681099 Chairman Secretary Council Rep.

This was the 2nd XI’s first season back in the Surrey Championship and it can best be described as a season of two halves. The first seven weeks brought seven victories and gave the side a real sense that back to back promotions could be on the cards. Of those seven, by far the most outstanding, was the defeat of eventual league winners, Guildford City, where Dan Loveridge took 7–12 in skittling the oppo for well under the 130 set by us. Unfortunately week 8 saw a washout against the other, until then, perfect team (Cranleigh) and from there all momentum was lost. Defeats of the bottom two sides were interrupted by a defeat at the hands of Godalming and confidence within the team clearly waned as the second half of the season arrived. Further losses followed as the team was ravaged by unavailability and it became clear that you need strong teams to compete in this league. The final position in mid-table did not do justice to the early season form but in the words of almost every league winning manager; “the league table does not lie”. On its day the side proved capable of beating the very best teams in the league, but in this higher division, you cannot afford to go with under-strength XIs. Massive thanks must go to Roy Beard the ever consistent (and unfailingly fair) umpire, and also the tea ladies for their support. A creditable first season back in the championship, so roll on 2014 and hopefully more consistent availability! A promising season for the 3rd XI ultimately ended in disappointment with a third place finish. While this is a fantastic achievement considering the mid-table mediocrity of recent seasons, the poor home form (lost two and one losing draw) did not match up to the perfect away form. Highlights from the season are not hard to find, with the batting frequently hitting over 200 runs and several instances of bowling teams out for less than 100, including the eventual league winners, Worcester Park. One of the most impressive features of this team was the ability to get results when it mattered, most notably at Thames Ditton where the side fell to 70– 6 before eventually putting up a match winning total of 227. This strength in depth was the greatest difference between this year’s team and previous seasons. A great deal of positive cricket was played by all sides in the division, and the low number of drawn games suggests concerns over negative attitudes in timed games may be overstated. If it had not been for the fact the team suffered more weather affected games than any other team in the league, including one match rained off when the side was in a winning position, the season could have ended on a much happier note. This is a Kempton team that will rightly feel that it can get over that promotion finish line next season. The 4th XI’s 2013 season consisted of some great highs and lows. After two losses, the team gained an initial win followed by the first ever winning draw at Staines & Laleham. The next five games brought two wins, two losses and another winning draw, interspersed with the odd rain abandoned game. The team then got into its stride with an awesome run of five wins, including the first ever home win (over S&L) and completing the double over Hampton Wick Royal, who won the league by a big margin. Finishing runners-up in the division was the conclusion to an amazing season. The side’s progress can be seen from 2012’s 18 points (P16: W1, L10, 2LD, 3A) to 2013’s 114 points (P18: W8, L4, 2WD, 2A). All credit to the players and their commitment, what a season. Highlights were fifties from James Hennessy, Rohan Scott, Sukh Singh, Harry Lee, Jay Dhillon, Luca Seneviratne and Simon Pipe and five or more wicket hauls from Trevor Warne (6–40, 5–9 and 5–40) and Stephen Crossley (7–28). As ever the team looks forward to the next amazing season.

In the case of the 1st XI it was certainly worth waiting for, with a 58-run win over champions, and at that point undefeated, Egham. Ks led the way with 319 all out and were delighted to restrict their opponents to 261-4. The win secured a satisfactory fifth place in the table after promotion the previous season. However, it summed up the nature of the team, capable of being good enough to beat the best and equally capable of being beaten by teams way below them in the table. This was reflected in statistics that read seven wins and seven defeats with just two draws and two games falling foul of the weather. It was a more than decent effort in their first season in Division 4, and one that gives cause for optimism going forward. Imran Khalid took the individual honours with the bat, but even 443 runs @ 31 with three 50s probably does not really reflect the ability of the most destructive batsman in the club who is capable of changing the course of most matches. Sajjad Ali also chipped in with 413 runs at nearly 28. Raza Sikander topped the bowling list with 20 wickets at just over 18.5, followed by Hamid Malik with 15 @ 15, but that is an area that clearly needs strengthening if the team is to challenge for promotion. The 2014 season will be the first time all three of the club's league teams have competed in the Championship at the same time and everybody at Windsor Avenue is looking forward to the challenge. The 3rd XI season was a transitional one with many old players leaving or moving into the 2nd XI which gave league opportunities to new players. The first three games were a tough start for the team with defeats to Chertsey, Addiscombe and Kempton. The team bounced back with consecutive wins against Ashford and Chipstead who were already near the top, thanks to significant contributions from Imtiaz Khan. With a core group beginning to emerge, the bowling was always strong with the batting performances slowly improving. Andy Berg's magnificent 104 against Worcester Park nearly bought a positive result. Vice captain 's 118* was a mammoth effort in a losing game against Sanderstead and set the tone for his consistency for the remainder of the season yielding 224 runs. Taha Siddique's conversion to an opener was fruitful and bodes well for next season ending just behind on 219 runs. Tom Sanger (6 wickets), Jim McEvoy (8), Rupert Sutton (9) and Shaha Riadh (11) were learning with every match and producing strong performances especially with Rupert's 4-46 against SinjunGrammarians and Shaha's overall economy rate of 3.77. Hossain Malik joined midway through the season and his memorable 8-22 against West End Esher grabbed a deserved win for the team and he finished as the leading wicket taker (16 wickets). Rain then forced a cancellation against Merstham which led to the final fixture against Staines being pivotal. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the opposition had to pull out which resulted in avoiding relegation. This is the least the team deserved after building on performances and being competitive in a tough league. The team learnt a lot this season in batting out overs when needed, preserving wickets and being tight in the field when defending a small total. Team morale was ever improving and with each cricketing department being fine tuned and the core group a year wiser, next season holds a lot of promise.

With a young and improving side, the club began the campaign in a positive fashion, enjoying the experience of playing at a higher level. Early season wins against Normandy and Dulwich set the team off on the right foot before a minor slip up away to Farnham halted progress. What followed was a run of form that put the side in an imperious position going into the last third of the season. The run extended to 8 wins in a row and 71 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports put the side comfortably on top of the table and exceeding all expectations in their debut campaign. With promotion in their grasp, a slip up away to Normandy meant the side had to wait for the following week where promotion was secured with a resounding victory at home to Dulwich and the final league position saw Leatherhead a staggering 29 points clear at the top of the table. Results were exceptional throughout the season and the commitment shown by a number of individuals made selection consistent and made for a thoroughly enjoyable season. The strength and versatility of the batting line up played an important part in the success of the side with a number of successful run chases. Nicol (454 @ 28), Kritzinger (417 @ 32), Joblin (392 @ 30), Dyson (353 @ 25), Peak (314 @ 31) and Laidman (299 @ 27) led the way with the bat and were well supported by some exceptional lower order innings from all rounders Udal and Roberts. The bowling was equally shared around with Dyson (34 wickets @ 10) leading the way with some exceptional displays of left arm spin. He was well supported by seamer Tribe (28 @ 17) and fellow spinners Udal (26 @ 20) and Nicol (20 @ 20). Farrant (10 @ 30) and Baker (16 @ 18) rounded off a fantastic season by all of the bowlers; Baker’s economy rate of 2.6 providing exceptional control throughout the season. A well balanced, young and improving side the club will relish the opportunity of playing in the Premiership for the first time in the club’s history. The 2nd XI had an exceptional year and performed at a consistent level with a strong player group for a good part of the year. A strong promotion push was hampered by a loss of players at crucial times and a negative outlook to the way timed cricket was played. On a positive note individuals were able to provide solid support to the 1st XI when required on their way to securing Premiership cricket. Congratulations! Overall a third place finish for the team was a good effort. Key performers with the bat were D Baker (510 @ 39) and J Musgrave (471 @ 47) who ensured Leatherhead posted very competitive totals (apart from the odd blip!). Bowling was slightly under par this year with the exception of D Leach (25 wickets @ 14) and M Wakefield (23 @ 17.5) with the latter also contributing 344 runs @ 48 with the bat. Congratulations to Sunbury as Champions and East Molesey as runners up; it was well deserved. Thanks to all those umpires, scorers and providers of teas throughout the season, without your contributions Saturdays would become even more stressful! Leatherhead 3rd XI began the season full of promise under the new leadership of Metin Huseyin. The aims of the season were to stabilise the side in the division and to encourage and promote a nucleus of more senior colts. This was the biggest success of the season with the likes of Wes Hayes, Marcus Hutchinson, Alastair Walters and Oliver Rolton all performing admirably. Results wise it was a disappointing season; however the side just managed to avoid relegation and now have a platform to build on next year. A special mention must go to Joel Friend who, at age 11, performed extremely well with both bat and ball.

It was a challenging year for the Wanderers 1st XI in 2013 which started with much promise but never quite materialised into a strong enough challenge across the season. Several close games went the other way at Guildford and Wimbledon, and a failure to finish off games against Sutton, Sunbury (both 9 down), and Guildford (saved by the rain) proved costly. Wins against East Molesey and a rare double against Reigate were the only victories in a season littered with inconsistency across all three disciplines, ultimately resulting in relegation from the Premiership. Stand out performers with the bat were Alan Cope for his 564 runs @ 43 including two fine hundreds, Pete Young (437 @ 34), James Wackett (410 @ 29) and Will Sabey (302 @ 25). Wickets were shared around with Giles Puckle leading the way with 21 wickets, Simon Crampton 20, Tom Bartram and Sabey 16- a-piece and Michael Cottrell 11. Whilst this season proved it is hard to compete in this league, the development of young players in the teams below and notable debuts throughout the season shows there is a bright future ahead. No doubt the boys will regroup in the winter and look forward to mounting a challenge to return at the first attempt in 2014. It was another exciting season for Malden Wanderers 2nd Xl who started the campaign well putting together a string of victories. This was mainly due to an excellent team spirit and many of the team performing week in week out. The main strength during the season was the bowling; Neil Mander, Michael Cottrell and Khyyam Shakeel to name a few who could open the bowling. The batting on the other hand was slightly weaker but the team still had amazing performances from Adam Dicker, Sagar Patel, Alex Redmayne

72 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports & Cil Van Der Mer. These performances with bat and ball put the side at the top of the league with five games to go. Unfortunately, this is where the fairy tale ended with losses against Weybridge and Wimbledon in consecutive weeks seeing the team drop down the table and fall out of contention. Other positives during the season were seeing the youngsters coming up through the club and playing in the seconds and some moving up further to the first team. James Marks had an excellent end to the season playing his first 1st XI League game for Malden Wanderers and he will remember taking the wicket of Alex Tudor for many years! Thanks to all the players that played in the 2nd XI throughout the season and thanks to all the league for their hard work in arranging the fixtures. The 3rd XI missed promotion by 4 points in what was a largely frustrating season of such varying availability that 38 players were used. However, this meant more opportunities for the younger players and 11 players between U14 and U16 represented the side. Losing the 2nd, 3rd and 4th games having been in winning positions in each and being involved in the only abandoned game in the League in round 6 ultimately cost the side dear. Mike Jacobs showed his class scoring 521 runs @ 52 including two centuries, with Jake Lavender and 15 year old Joe Lavender each registering their maiden centuries in their totals of 365 and 243 with Matthew Marks (262) the only other batsman to score over 200 runs. The strength was normally in the bowling department with 22 wicket takers led by Joe Lavender (23), including a hat trick, and Matthew Marks (18) followed by U14s Rafeh Jafri (16) and Jack Morgan (13) who belied their youth. The side had eight different wicket keepers all of whom performed admirably and the fielding was generally good. With more consistent availability in 2014 and with the talent the side obviously has the team would certainly hope to challenge for promotion. Congratulations to Cheam and Banstead on their promotions. Many thanks to Andrew for providing a good pitch to play on, Liz for her teas and to the various umpires who stood during the season. Attempts to put together a regularly competitive 4th XI side are, to a great extent, determined by the movements of those in the teams above. A somewhat trying season in this respect was sweetened heavily with the emergence of some promising young talent, who revelled in the responsibility of showing the adults what they could do. An ever-revolving cast list of 40-plus players rose to the task admirably, with some outstanding showings with bat and ball by 14 year-old leggie Jack Morgan who ended the season as the club’s third-highest wicket-taker; 15 year-old James Murphy, both behind the stumps and opening the innings (hitting 70 at champions-elect Sinjungrammarians), and some devilish spells from teenage quicks Sam Hopkins, Sam Thomson and Abs Anthhakumar, who were all delights to play with. The highlights of a fourth-placed finish, ‘doubled’ just once by Wimbledon, were undoubtedly the hair’s- breadth failure to chase down 233 at worthy league winners Sinjun (failing in a losing draw by just eight runs) in a nailbiting finish, and a redoubtable last-wicket stand by Sam Hopkins and Shauriya Mathur, who took Old Ruts to the last over when 15 had remained when they came together. Special mention too, for old hands Rich Gould and James McKintosh, two players who showed an exemplary attitude in imparting their wisdom at key moments and all-rounder Ravi Hariharan, for his bludgeoning cameos in the middle-order and threatening pace and bounce. The 4th XI showed a great team ethic and a season to savour.

The season started brightly with a win against Old Hamptonians off the last ball of the match. This was followed by a tie against Old Emanuel. These were the last points the team managed for a long period of time! Poor availability and lack of players being put forward were major contributors for the downfall of the team. The first two games of the season saw the same team unchanged but from then on, it was a struggle to even get eleven players on to the pitch. On the batting front Grant Wood scored 552 runs @ 39.43 and captain Neil Driscoll 437 runs @ 33.62. These two were the only significant contributions and runs were very hard to come by; totals were very difficult to make and chase. The bowling was no better with Steve Saker the leading wicket taker with 15. There were opportunities to win games but due to the lack of fire power, and a large amount of important dropped catches, games that should have been won were lost! However, there were wins against Met Police and an end of season victory against Oxted & Limpsfield. The club needs to regroup and look to come back stronger next year. The season started with high spirits under the 2nd XI leadership of skipper Humayoon Nasir to keep the

73 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports winning streak from last season. Confidence was sky high to complete three in row promotions. The convincing win against Camberley, where they were bowled out for 69 runs as Ammar Tahir destroyed the batting line-up with figures of 6 for 21 including a hat trick; was just a glimpse of team performance for the season. This led to a run of convincing wins until the game against Whitgiftians, which was the first loss. Swashbuckling Mohammad Noman was the leading run scorer with 543 runs @ 38.79 with a ton and 2 fifties in just 14 games, and was second in Division 3. Ever consistent Haroon Nasir with 426 runs @ 35.5 with a ton and 3 fifties in just 12 games was the other consistent batsman. They were well supported by Naseer Raja (371 runs), Ammar Tahir (354) and Dinesh Parera (323). The bowling was headed by Ammar Tahir taking 30 wickets @ 4.25, including a hat trick, Asim Jafferi (27 wickets @ 3.98) and skipper Humayoon Nasir (22 @ 3.21) were the leading bowlers. Dinesh Parera was stand in wicket keeper but his performance behind the stumps was very impressive with a tally of 13 dismissals included 11 catches and 2 stumpings. Unfortunately a deduction of 20 points at the end of the season due to mismanagement and miscommunication consequently meant the 2nd XI had to pay a massive penalty; losing the championship title and making it 3 in a row promotions. This was an episode which has left an unforgettable mark. Special thanks to the ever supportive John Freitag who not only stood in all games as an umpire but was off the field a great mentor and a support whenever looked upon. What will the 2014 season bring?

Merrow CC 1st XI had a good season, whilst never really challenging for any honours. A decent start saw the team win 2 of the opening 50 over games and come very close against promoted Hampton Wick in a game the side had chances to win, however the season really came to light in the declaration cricket. 5 wins were recorded, as the team showed a real ability to post a score and bowl the opposition out, no more so than against champions Guildford City. Again it was a case of ‘what could have been’ as a dropped catch cost victory against a strong and unlucky not to be promoted Stoke D’Abernon. The batting was led by Matt Balch with 2 centuries, with useful contributions from Ben Brown, David Trendall, Jordyn Dyer and OP Hamish Teale. Always a couple of bowlers short, the bowling was led by Dan Taylor with 49 wickets, capably backed up by Rob Pigden, Phil Windus and Teale. With the various rule changes, some of the tactics will have to be re-thought, however the side goes into a new season excited by the prospects in an exciting league. Congratulations to Guildford City and Hampton Wick on promotion. Thanks also must go to Heather Dean for her scoring and unwavering support, as well as Mike Ingarfield for umpiring.

The 3rd XI saw some major changes with a new captain in James Lowe and a vice captain in Jez Gray. A total of 48 players represented the team, which reflects how the Club is developing in size and strength; the majority of these being younger players deserving of experience at this level. Reflecting on the League victories this season, notably beating Addiscombe with Jonathan Hogg getting a 5fer and Chris Clayson a 4fer with youngster Sam Woods seeing the team home with 45*. Next, Thames Ditton were seen off and another notable performance again from Hoggy. Guildford City were dismissed quite cheaply with Asim Ashraf getting a 4fer and Will Preston impressive with his 53* seeing the side home. The final win was against Esher with young Ben Carter achieving 22* and bowling well, taking 2 wickets. The team was very ably captained by James Lowe for the first time and many players at different times playing a part in what was a successful season at the new home, ‘The Ring.’ Merstham 4th XI finished 7th of 9 teams in the Central division. The side won 4 games (one a walkover) lost 10 and had one losing draw. From a results perspective it was a fairly disappointing season mainly due to the inability to score enough runs. The high point was the last game against Purley which was won with 8 74 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports overs to spare thanks to 88 not out from Gus Locke and 38 from Niall Dowds. In total 38 players were used with 10 players turning out on 8 or more occasions. Kashif Noon (174 runs), Rob Wood (174) and Will Prior (172) were the backbone of the batting. However the batsmen only recorded 5 scores in excess of 50 all season which prevented putting the opposition under any real pressure. This was underlined when the batsman did score well as evidenced by the 101 from Chris Hearns and 56 from Will Prior in the win over Epsom and the 88 from Gus Locke in the defeat of Purley. Tony Rickard was the mainstay of the bowling attack taking 14 wickets including match winning figures of 5-24 against Trinity. Tony also deserves a big thank you for stepping up to take over the mantle of team captain for the second half of the season. Ethan Speller (U14) also deserves a mention on the bowling front, he played 9 times bowling 52 overs and taking 5 wickets During the season 14 Colts played for the 4ths and there will be a need to encourage more to play to achieve greater success next season. Finally thanks are also due to Graham Attridge for securing the use of the Ring for home matches. While this is still a work in progress it is a great improvement on Godstone Green and gives the Club something to work on next season. METROPOLITAN POLICE www.metpolice.play-cricket.com

Absent from the 2012 season due to the London Olympics the 1st XI’s return to league action was always going to be a challenging one. Changes within the service meant that officers were for the most part working weekends and therefore unavailable for selection. To try and address this issue the club opened its doors for the first time in its history to new members. However, the side was unable to honour some fixtures and the team would like to take this opportunity to apologise but thank the Surrey Championship and all opposition sides for their support and understanding. The Club has withdrawn from the Championship and wish all clubs the very best for the future. It would be easy and, having read previous handbooks, traditional at this stage to list the season’s fixtures and their outcomes. The inescapable truth of the matter was the 2nd XI lost all of them with the exception of Old Emanuel which was rained off. The side rarely fielded a full team, those that did play invariably being drafted in as last minute replacements. It was not all doom and gloom and the team came within a whisker of recording a victory at Woodmansterne where, after registering a healthy 216, the home side managed to get over the line with a wicket to spare. This led to a week of ruminating over just how the team managed to lose the game having reduced the home side to 50 odd for 5. A number of players stood up and performed well. John Allen took over twenty wickets, including some 5 wicket hauls. Thanks to him and Dave Allen for making the 3 hour plus journey from East Anglia every week for very little reward. The oldest of statesmen Chris Phillips showed that he still has it, scoring runs with a freedom that seemed completely at odds with the rest of the side. In summary thanks to the guys who turned up for the 9 games completed. They never stopped trying despite being led by a very grumpy captain. If the 1st team had not been so depleted every week the side would have won a few games but it was not to be. It is sad to see a club with such a proud history finish in such shambolic fashion. Thanks go out to Chris Banks and Russell Bryan for their unstinting dedication and determination to keep the club running despite the many hurdles that were placed in front of them.

Sixteen year old Chris Jones (380 runs @ 25.33 and 17 wkts @ 25.76) stepped up to open the batting for much of the season alongside fellow Surrey Academy cricketer Oliver Batchellor, whilst Will Harris and Oskar Kolk also showed their ability at 1st XI level. The success of the team was largely built around its spin trio; Nathan Sowter a standout performer (54 wkts @ 14.41 and 467 runs @ 31.73) and Venkateswaran showing his class in his first year in the league with 33 wkts @ 13.42. Dan Miles impressed with both the new ball and with his “death” bowling in what was a breakthrough year and Sam Tunbridge, another young bowler to step up to this level in 2013, showed promise. Ian Prowse, once again, showed his quality with the bat scoring 335 runs @ 55.83 in only 8 games including an outstanding hundred against Beddington, while Huw Jones contributed in the middle order scoring 344 runs in his debut season for the club. Although a win at Dulwich, where rain intervened after the home side had been dismissed for 76, would have seen Normandy promoted there were other opportunities to seal Premier League status for 2014. 75 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Although this was not to be, it was an outstanding season for such a young side and the future looks bright at Hunts Hill Road. Howard Grice would like to thank all the players for their efforts and commitment throughout the season. Bill Clutterbuck and David Jones deserve special mention for the work they have done in developing the young players at the club whilst a huge thanks must go to Peter Scott, Jim Cox and all the club’s supporters for their work behind the scenes. The 2nd XI finished in 3rd place of the Premier League, having secured 4 wins in the 100 over games and 6 in the limited format. The season started with a nail-biting win over Wimbledon in a rain affected match; the margin of victory was less than 1 run. This was followed by strong wins over Reigate and Guildford before the reality check of being bowled out by Malden in 14 overs. June saw the team back on track with wins in the 100 over format against Ashtead, Sutton and Weybridge but in contrast, July yielded just 5 points with the team playing inconsistent cricket. The season finished with 4 wins out of the last six matches, the team finally learning the art of chasing down totals. This period included a loss to champions Weybridge; congratulations to them. The batting was led by senior players Ross Skidmore (420 runs @ 48 including 1 hundred) and Dave Jones (302 runs) with three 50s. New young players Will Harris and Vish Nair both scored 260+ runs with Will finishing the season with a magnificent 106* against Epsom and Vish contributing two stylish 50s. Other batters to score 50 included Simon Carter (2), Pete Wellings, Oskar Kolk, Andrew Hemingway, Jim Cox and Ben Frost. The wickets were shared around with the impressive Ben Heane (21 wickets) leading the seamers and Junior Simpson (18) leading the spin/slow bowlers. Outstanding performances with ball included Ben Heane taking 5 for 46 against Reigate, brother Chris Heane 6 for 27 against Malden, Sam Tunbridge 6 for 61 against Ashtead and Johnny Nolan 6 for 59 against Weybridge. Thanks to the team of umpires Dave Walter, Dave Iliffe, Mike Carter and Rob Woods – your skills, time and company are greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Thanks, as ever, go to the band of ever impressive tea ladies who once again have produced, voluntarily, fantastic feeds each week. After two successive relegations, new 3rd XI captain Michael Collins finally halted the slide with a return to mid-table mediocrity that the side had previously enjoyed for so long. Availability played a huge part in determining the side’s fortunes with over 40 players used in the year, and greater commitment from the core players would certainly help in future. There were highs and lows, the latter being two hidings at the hands of Old Ruts and the former victory over a sporting Woking side, who were vying for promotion, in a high scoring game that reminded all concerned just why we play this funny old game. Between family commitments Mikey Scott provided banter and most runs (314), while older brother Peter Scott ground out 225. Sean Cox’s mercurial talent contributed 153 in just 4 innings while the highlight was Ben Frost’s onslaught against Purley which brought an undefeated 69 in 48 balls to lead a victory. Michael Wicherek contributed with bat and ball and shows great promise and, on return from his travels, older brother Ben has matured into a very fine all round cricketer. The skipper led the bowling with his slow medium honesty grabbing 20 wickets while the old war horse Bowen snaffled 14. Leg spinner Chris Heane continues to improve and after returning from injury Cam Lyth proved to be an opening bowler who has progressed significantly since 2012. Hidden away behind the stumps for much of the year was Richard Burton and it is of testament to his excellent glove work that he was noticed more when he was unavailable than when he was there, and his impressive batting has enhanced his reputation as one to follow in the future. Thanks as ever to the admirable RJ Home for his continued impartiality as an all too rare umpire in 3rd team cricket and to Geoff Burton for his scoring. This was always going to be a difficult 4th XI season due to the lack of regular availability at all levels and the statistics tell the sorry tale, one win and two losing draws in sixteen completed games. Of the 36 batsmen only four managed to contribute more than a hundred runs all season; Mark Rosser (454 @ 30.27), Jerome Adams (155 @ 51.67), Yam Thapa (146 @ 20.86) and Tim Jones (126 @ 18). This had the knock-on effect that the bowlers rarely had a target to defend. Ram Thiruvathirai led the attack taking 22 wickets @ 12.45 ably supported by George Newton (21 @ 18.19) and Nick Cook (12 @ 27.92). Highlights were few and far between but included a fine team effort to defend 128 against Epsom, Ram Thiruvathirai and George Newton defying the Woking & Horsell bowlers for twelve overs to secure the draw and Jerome Adams’ 82 against Dulwich. However, these cold facts do not tell the whole story. The team played with tremendous spirit throughout the season. Each week every member of the team gave their all, seniors and colts alike. It was most gratifying to see the youngsters grow in stature as the season progressed, learning from the senior players and, on occasions, teaching them a thing or two. The spirit of the team never waned, whatever the situation. The experience of this year can only stand the team in good stead for the future. Next season the youngsters will be a year older, a year bigger and hopefully a year wiser and, if they show the same resolve, the team will be rewarded with a change of fortune. Heartfelt “thank yous”, as always, to all that helped with the running of the team, to the management, ground staff and the tea ladies and, on a personal note, to the bar staff. 76 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

A win and a tie signalled a bright start for the 1st XI season. This augured well, so the side thought, but beset by inconsistent availability and patchy form from all concerned, the team was soon spending much time looking over its shoulders in what proved to be a nail-biting ‘fight’ to avoid relegation. This was achieved on the last game of the season in what was to be one of the side’s better team showings. If only the commitment shown here had been present earlier! A return of 4 wins was way below expectations. Selection was problematical and it was never possible to field the same team or indeed anything close to a regular squad of players in consecutive weeks. The batting was a huge disappointment, with Arvind Maan’s 440 league runs leading but no one else reached 200 in the campaign. Arvind also shouldered much of the bowling burden, leading with 37 wickets, but he received good support from Shak Ahmed (23) Ata Malik with 16 and Mark Gibbons with 15, the latter not receiving his just return for invariably tight spells. Dave Debidin again held the fort behind the sticks, in what is likely to be his final season, after no less than 45 years in the championship, playing 44 consecutive seasons in the OE first team. The 2nd XI finished 8th. The weekly changes in personnel were most disruptive, and stand-in skipper Conan Hicks deserves huge plaudits for the unfailing efforts in throwing together a disparate ‘band of brothers’ who pulled together admirably, particularly in a late-season charge. Ibrar Malik was the outstanding player, with 484 @ 35, including 2 fine centuries against Woodmansterne (119*) and Staines & Laleham (128) and led also in the wickets column, often chipping in with crucial dismissals. As with the first team, no one else reached 200 but useful support often came from Steve Hyde, Grant Leroy and Harry Cronshaw.

The team followed with losses against Metropolitan Police, Egham, Old Rutlishians, Kingstonian and Oxted & Limpsfield and underperformed at times but were outplayed in games against the top two. It was the middle of July and the side was bottom of the table. As a unit, it knew that it had to start turning the table around to be safe from being relegated. Then came a game away to Kingstonians and a task of chasing down 247. Losing a wicket in the first over, Chinmay Mahadkar and Tom Williamson scored a 100 run partnership in 20 overs. After the departure of Tom Williamson (37) and Chinmay Mahadkar (75), Simon Morris (63*) finished the game with captain Richard Brown and it was the start of a 6 game winning streak. Good work with the bat was followed by equally good work with the ball; Nabeel Akhtar taking 7 wickets against Alleyn & Honor Oak while defending a mere total of 139. Raza Mughal's 26 wickets were huge as well as proving himself with the bat, hitting a "Liziesque" six away to Alleyns. Simon Morris proved his class on most occasions and hopeful he will be present more often next season. The Sheffield Uni band showed moments of exultation; Mark Samways’ batting was a revelation and Guy "Alan Knott" Baker's wicket keeping was more than reliable pre and post wedding. The paternity club in Kidson and Mahedo swashbuckled but that elusive ton still remains unfulfilled. The side’s position in the table was safe when it lost the last game of the season to Old Emanuel. Many ups and downs and reasons to look back on what could have been with a dominant start; with plans ahead, who knows what 2014 could hold! The 2013 season was always one of great fun and excellent performances from the 2nd XI squad. The club welcomed new and old faces to the OH and will be stronger with the likes of Will Legg, Johnny Donnelly and Piers ’Moley’ Ravenhill in the coming seasons. The season began with a bang, Simon Blair bowling the Metropolitan Police skipper with the first ball of the season. Simon was a constant threat and despite only a handful of performances was always to the fore in the team performances. With the team searching for a new ball bowler, step forward Captain Marvelous, Neil Lizieri. He was outstanding and with 50 league wickets at an average of just over 10, ranked fourth in

77 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports the whole of the Championship. He destroyed batting line-ups, most notably with 7-32 against Old Emanuel. Neel Sarna produced an OH career best 84 in a narrow defeat to Woodmansterne. Neel backed up this form against several other sides and will be missed by the club as he ventures forth to Asia! There was a single individual 100 made this year by senior pro Andy Evans in a fantastic team win away against Godalming. Dave Speakman led from the front with the bat and did a great job behind the stumps finishing the season with more catches than anyone else in the league. The standout batsman of the year was Ed Martin who took apart both Ripley and Kempton with consecutive scores of 98. Ed’s thunderous drives tormented equally both the league’s best bowlers and car owners around Dean Road. The team was also well supported throughout the season by Raja Khurana, Larry Perera, Jimmy Sudbury and Shah Khan. Jimmy somehow managed to play nearly a full season despite hurting his knee early in the season, a superhuman effort. In 2014 the team can look forward to building on this season’s successes in challenging for next year's top spots.

Having scaled euphoric heighs with a Cup win and then promotion for the 1st XI in the last couple of years, 2013’s goal was a more modest one of consolidation in the Surrey Championship. The team achieved this aim with something to spare, although it also left plenty behind, all too often falling short in games which should have been won. Most of the team was relatively inexperienced in the 50 over format of the game, and it showed. The side won but a single such game, the first one, on the back of 148* from skipper Alex Duncan. Weight of runs was the problem all year; regularly restricting teams to par totals but failing to chase. The bowling was solid all year, although all too often the team missed the flight and guile of newly qualified doctor David Newsome. He spun the side to victory with 6-47 against Dorking and 5-43 against SinjunGrammarians. There were lots of young seamers coming through, but Chris Berkett has moved out of that category and into ‘established player’. He led the wickets with 24, from David Newsome with 22 and Hasan Jafri with 15. It was an injury hit campaign, beginning with run out chaos that led to a broken collar bone in pre-season, and long term injuries for several other stalwarts compounded the traditional availability headaches and contributed to a poor record in 50/50. Nevertheless, the consensus was that everyone enjoyed the cricket immensely. Competing at the higher level was challenging, but when the side won, it knew it had played very well. offered more opportunity to more players and over time will improve their skills, especially running between the wickets and fielding. Thanks to all officials and scorers; Peter King, Alan Hague and Christopher Clayton for yet another year’s sterling service.

After coming fourth the previous season, the Ruts were hungry from the outset to go one better and secure promotion, for according to Winston Churchill ”success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm”. The 1st XI had reason to be enthusiastic. With a vibrant young Aussie gracing Merton Park, some esteemed Birmingham University alumni and a core young group (a proud product of the youth set-up) the resources were there to achieve the ambitions. Only a robust, determined attitude and plenty of hard-work ensured that by the end of the season everything was realised. The 1st XI kicked off the league campaign in style winning the opening four fixtures. A good start is always vital to any promotion push and it provided the foundations upon which the team constructed its second-place finish. There were some stand-out performances in those first few games that are worthy of mention. Dan Wood marked his league debut against Kingstonian with a classy century. 50s for Riches, 78 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Mohammed (x2) and Shackleton ensured the runs were flowing. On the wicket-front, the Ruts welcomed Alex Barnicott to the party who took wickets on regular occasions including a five-for against Old Emanuel – it was to be the first of four in a very impressive season for the thirty-year-old. Into the longer format and with wins more difficult to come by, there was no room for indolence or pusillanimity. The Ruts managed to accumulate plenty of wins throughout this period, only failing to secure victories against Oxted & Limpsfield (losing-draw), Egham (lots of rain) and Alleyns (a crushing defeat). The ability to secure wins in this format proved the difference come the end of the year. In the run-in, the 1st XI won the crucial game against Oxted which all but sealed promotion. James Shackleton was the stand-out performer with 5 wickets whilst Riches chipped in with another 50. Special mentions must go to Sal Mohammed (530 runs and 43 wickets), Dan Wood (560 runs), Alex Barnicott (42 wickets) and James Shackleton (30 wickets despite a broken finger). There is plenty of reason to be positive at the Ruts and with such a young side, including the likes of , Richard Woolland and Alex Fox, they will be hoping the season is not ‘sui generis’. 2013 brought around one of the most memorable and successful seasons for the Old Rutlishians Cricket Club; the 1st XI was promoted, the 3rd XI promoted as Champions and the Sunday 1st XI winning the Surrey Trust League for the second year in succession! Sadly, the 2nd XI could only manage a mid-table finish. The first few games appeared to be a tale of two halves with a bowling unit that could restrict the best sides to low totals and a batting unit short of confidence. A close drawn game against Walton, victory over Bank of England and a narrow defeat to Esher saw Ruts slip into the relegation zone. However, there then followed a fine close win against run-away leaders Spencer and within 7 games the 2nd XI went from relegation candidates to having a realistic chance of promotion following 4 wins out of the last 7 games. However, other results, a shock defeat against Woking and the weather contrived to produce a mid-table finish; a fine effort from all 30 players involved. There were some stand out performances with the bat and the ball. George Tidey scoring 437 runs @ 29 was ably supported by Nick Pryce (341 @ 26), Liam Flanagan (262 @ 22) and Jon Mapp (260 @ 29). The bowlers stood out even further with Daisy leading the way with 26 wickets at 22 and Kam Khan (20 @ 25) following. Other notable performances with the ball included Fawad Anis (16 @ 16), Dan De Leon (15 @ 16) and Evan Watson (11 @ 14). The future of the club is definitely a bright one with many of the current colts and colts graduates appearing this season. The Foxes, Errol Morre-Amadzie, Richie Woolland, Henry Peuble, Matt Vandepeer, Isaac Braithwaite, Eshen Patel, Ross Trimmings and Corey Nelson all played vital roles in the games they played and made a good account of themselves at this level. After falling the wrong side of the league split last year the 3rd XI had high hopes for 2013. A strong start to the season induced a sense of belief into a new and young team. Salim Yasin and Waseem Ahmad led the way. Yasin showed great responsibility with his tight bowling yielding 22 wickets at an average of just 9.86 and his batting resources largely untapped still averaged 31.33. Ahmad bagged a 5 wicket haul at Normandy and scored half-centuries at Purley and Leatherhead. His all-round potency reflected by 12 wickets @ 12.58 and 187 runs @ 46.75. A strong side was made stronger by additional young players coming into the fold in July. However, it was the experience of Daman Chugh that stood out, scoring two superb centuries: 122* against Leatherhead and 124 against Normandy. Daman finished the season with outstanding figures of 400 runs @ 66.67. Overall the 3s had one of its best ever seasons being crowned champions and promoted to Division 1. The talent, unity and desire of the side were pleasing to see and ambitions remain high for the team in 2014. The 4th XI season started with a bang amid the April showers; a vicious assault by G Padgett consigned Sinjuns to a one wicket defeat! Ultimately, the side managed to finish 3rd in an extremely competitive league demonstrating the club’s future is in rude health. Throughout the season, the side had a wonderful bowling attack, led by the ever present Tony Green and the metronomic M Lever. There was some exciting young bowling talent in M Basit, W Duffy, H Khan, C Holden, H Hamad, S Oswald and H Crocker; their emergence will stand the club in good stead for the future. M Basit proved to be exceptional at wrapping up tail enders, helping to win several games in the process. Batting proved to be somewhat problematic, quite often managing to get off to a good start before collapsing. There have been several notable performances with the bat this season, S Corbey’s ton against Old Wimbledonians, G Padgett’s 50 against Sinjun’s in the first game of the season, I Braithwaite’s assault at Oxted, a couple of classy fifties from R Lever and K Yamin against Streatham & Marlborough and a classy knock from M Vandepeer against Worcester Park. Special mention must go to a fantastic rearguard action by M Lever and T Green, defying Sinjun’s bowlers in the darkness and rain for nearly 20 overs to earn a losing draw in Wandsworth. Cameos have also been provided by A Chandler, I Beardwell, E Patel, S Atkins, M Condron, W Duffy, M Basit and T Green at several points throughout the season which have helped chase down scores or set respectable totals. The side only lost 2 games at Nursery Road all season, but away performances proved less than fruitful and was the only real negative this season. Although the side put up some valiant efforts, the only away win came against Banstead in a low scoring affair.

Old Whitgiftians 1st XI improved by one place on the 2012 campaign to finish 6th with 6 wins. The season was memorable for the 2 extraordinary tied matches against the same opposition, local rivals Beddington; perhaps a world record! In the limited over game at Beddington Park in May, OW had 7 balls to get the one run required for victory with 3 wickets in hand before losing 3 wickets in 3 balls! At Croham Road in August, Beddington were 210-7 chasing 212 with plenty of overs left as the game ended in heart stopping fashion to finish 212 all out! The lack of a promotion challenge was a disappointment but the side were one quality batsman short of being able to push the better teams in the division. This was borne out by 5 of the 6 wins being against sides in the bottom 3, the exception being the excellent win against Cheam in the penultimate match. Individually, 17 year old Matt Stiddard made great strides to top the batting stats with 429 runs, including his well deserved maiden hundred at Dulwich, together with 27 dismissals behind the stumps. David Burton made 409 with 2 fifties; Murti Hussain 329, Mo Raza 328, skipper Ali Raja 294 and Adam Clarke with 278 were the other main contributors. Hussain topped the bowling averages for the 4th season running with 42@18 and Burton would have returned more than 31 without the back injury which stopped him bowling in 5 matches. Young Aussie left armer Brendan Taylor opened the bowling with Burton and took 16 wickets in addition to being a first rate team member who kept morale high at all times, whilst vice skipper Luke Fisher took 14 and always gave 100%. Congratulations to the promoted sides Leatherhead and Valley End, many thanks to the umpires’ panel and finally to the excellent scorer David Hagger and his impressive command of DL. Old Whitgiftian 2nd XI had a great season, winning 10 out of 18 games. The season got off to a great start, winning 3 out of the first 4 games. Capitalising on other teams putting out weaker teams during this period was key to the success. June was crucial to keep up the momentum; other teams started to strengthen as players came back from school and university. This was a massive boost, as the team’s dynamics completely changed from old and experienced to young and fiery. The first real test was a great win against Maori Oxshott with a fine 79 from Harshil Shah. The following week morale was high against Pyrford, who were contained to 197, before Pardeep Chatwal made 105 runs winning the game for Old Whitgiftians. In July and August the side was very consistent, dominating most games. The bowling partnership of Shaz Rana (age 15) and Joe Murtagh (age 17) seemed to be too much for most teams. Another massive factor for Old Whitgiftians winning this season was the improved batsman/keeper Vishal Khetia who hit just under 300 runs at number 7 with his audacious stroke making and taking 15 catches behind the wicket. The penultimate game was at Ashford knowing that a win would guarantee promotion. Ashford were dismissed for 156 with brute pace and bounce from Daniel Kenton and tight lines from Shaz Rana picking up 3 wickets each. The batsmen were over confident in chasing this total and the side ended up needing 14 runs with 1 wicket remaining in 20 overs. Brothers Amar and Shamil Patel held their nerve and showed the top order how to bat with a cool head. The final week could not be scripted any better. The top 4 teams played each other with Egham, Maori Oxshott and Oxted & Limpsfield all fighting for a place for promotion. If Egham beat Old Whitgiftians they would go up, however if Whits beat Egham then the match between Maori and Limpsfield would turn into a sudden death. Whits batted first and had a great start thanks to opener Sujit Dadar (49). Everyone chipped in with runs and built a good first innings score of 209. Egham came out fighting; they needed a win. Opener Wayne Johncock hit a great 88; the anchor for other batsmen to bat around him to knock off the total. Overall a fantastic season with a great bunch of young stars who all should be pushing to play 1st team cricket in the coming years. The 3rd XI had a much better season than last year, despite losing a number of players to the 2nd XI during the campaign. It finished fifth in a strong league, winning eight games and drawing four. The team also adapted well to the change in format from previous seasons, winning five of eight limited overs games. On the batting front, James Earl led from the front scoring 269 runs, followed by Sean McGurn 242 and Jon Weller 232. Good performances with the bat included hundreds from Dinesh Yogananthan, Arun Ramamurthy and Pratik Khetia while Victor Mendon, Mus Ahmad, Shoaib Khalid, Aamir Raza, Ali Anderson, Simon Yousaf, Will Timms and Stephen Mann all played some good knocks for the team. Slow bowlers led the bowling for the OWs; James Earl took 26 wickets while young Aamir Raza, who only

Had the overseas player, CP Singh, been around all season the side would have challenged for league honours. He scored 740 runs including 4 centuries averaging 67.27. Adrian Dawson was the pick of the strike bowlers in the league with 36 wkts @ 18.69 and backed-up well by the solitary spinner Eugene Berger, 29 wkts @ 18.52. Some new faces appeared in the 1s, Neilsen and ‘never too old to play’ Gibson performed well along with the aged keepers Dreissens and Atherstone. There were some solid performances from Haw, Deg and van Zyl during the season including a maiden 50 at home by Louw. OWs can look forward to an exciting 2014 season with some talent. In a very competitive division, a difficult start to the season left the OWs 2nd XI playing catch up. The side had to wait until the 4th game before registering its first points of the campaign. An inconsistent season, on reflection, left the 2s battling hard to maintain their Div 2 status. However four vital wins between the end of July and mid August boosted its chances and in the end with one game to go the team’s safety had been confirmed. It was testament to the competitiveness of the league that the 2s still had the chance of finishing anywhere from 3rd bottom to 4th depending on the results of the last games of the season. In the end it had to settle for 3rd bottom, although the goal of maintaining its Div 2 status was always the most important to the side. A great team spirit and effort enabled the 2s to achieve this and on a number of occasions when seemingly down and out it managed to pull together and make the unthinkable happen. This was most evident in tight victories against Addiscombe and Worcester Park. 2s player of the year was Neilsen who finished with an impressive 23 wickets at an economy of 3.96 including two 5 wicket hauls and 198 valuable runs in the lower middle order with the bat. He was well supported by Redelinghuys (16), Seneviratne (17) and van Zyl (13) wickets respectively. With the bat White top scored with 270 at an average of just over 20 whilst Seneviratne chipped in with 204 runs. Evans was again a rock behind the stumps claiming 16 catches and 1 stumping. The 2s will be keen to bring more consistency to the game next year and hopefully start challenging for a higher position in the table. An up and down season for the 3rd XI this year with an improvement on 2012 as far as league standings is concerned. The side had some notable performances with Bernard Bubb scoring 221 runs at an impressive average of 55, Dan Enslin scoring 421 runs and Craig Walker 372, who was also top of league behind the stumps with 18 catches. Bowling honours were shared between Will Markham 17 wickets @ 19.76 and Andy Parker who had his season cut short with an horrific shoulder injury ending what was going to be a promising year taking 15 wickets @ 8.93. The team progressed well with the inclusion of some promising colts and it looks forward to next season The club entered a 4th XI into the Surrey Championship with youth development the key objective of the season. Results overall were disappointing although the team was competitive in more than half its matches. More than 11 Colts, drawn mainly from the U15s age group, played regularly and the aim to involve 5 or more Colts in each game was broadly achieved. To score over 2500 runs at an average of 160 per match and to take 103 wickets at an average of 6.5 per game demonstrates the huge strides the club has made in developing youth talent. Three Colts players took five wicket hauls with C. Hearty getting 2 “michelles” and four players managed maiden 50s with J Thomas scoring three 50s and a magnificent 103 against Cheam. The other teams in this league were very sporting and hospitable and it was the right environment for the Colts to flourish. The team looks forward to welcoming a new wave of young talent into next year’s 4th XI and providing more challenges to those who want to progress their cricket in the higher leagues.

The pre-season was excellent, winning many more games than were lost and developing and blooding several of the club’s younger talents. Had the side won the three drawn games (all of which should have been won) this report would be about a promotion. The undoubted highlight was the form of the overseas Simon Jackson. He scored just over a third of all the runs, amassing 1,032 @ 86…a club record, and so very nearly a league record. He scored 10 of the top 12 individual scores, including seven 50’s and three 100’s. Add his near faultless slip fielding where he took the majority of his 17 catches (only one less than the wicketkeeper) and you understand how grateful the side was of his services. The other major success was the development of the youngsters. Adam Ranson and Ross Powell both made mature and composed contributions, and it was great to see Brooks, Starling, Lloyd and Knight all further develop their skills. The club has invested a lot of time and effort into developing the younger talents and is looking forward to seeing their continuing progress. Of the more established players, Gordon Boxshall led the wicket takers with 32 and backed that up with a solid season with the bat. Lee McIlwraith and Daryl King both bowled fantastic spells, backed up by Ian Barney until injury wrecked his season. Of the batters, aside from Simon and Gordon, only Stuart Fletcher registered a reasonable return with 442 runs. Finally, Michael Wood had a decent season behind the sticks. The 2013 season can be labelled ‘nearly but not quite’. The performances in the second half of the season lacked the required consistency. So much work to do, but the side can reflect on a good showing from the first year in the division and hopefully it can go one better next year. So nearly back to back promotions but the 2nd XI’s first defeat in 32 games to eventual second placed Egham ultimately proved to be the difference between a good 3rd place finish and the promotion to Division 2 it hoped for. The Os 2nd XI started well, winning all 3 limited overs games after the first game was rained off. It also finished well winning 3 of the 4 completed limited overs games in the run in and took the outcome of its season to the last game for the 7th year in 8. However it was the middle of the season and too many draws that really cost the chance of 2nd place, or even the title. There were 3 wins but missed opportunities saw points dropped in 2 winning draws and 2 losing draws. There were 2 more losing draws but in both the Os were out played by eventual Champions Old Whits and 4th placed Maori Oxshott although they showed enough character to obtain something from the timed game. Overall, though, a good season for the Os and they will return with renewed enthusiasm for another crack at promotion in 2014. The batting was led by the skipper, Michael Adamson with 491 @ 30 and Joe Kourea with 425 @ 35 (4 x 50s), whilst both Adam Ranson and Alex Pizzey scored the team’s only 100s as the side posted 340 against Old Whits in the limited over game. The bowling was also topped by the skipper with 38 @ 11, including 2 six wicket hauls, while David Staines took 20 @ 26. There were also one or two magical moments in the field, the highlight being a superb one handed catch from Andrew Davis running round the fine leg boundary. Thanks as always go to the ever present umpire David Adamson and scorer Jack Oliver. This was a decent season in the 1st Division with the 3rd XI narrowly missing out on promotion to the Premier league. Overall 4th place was a good outcome, especially as the pre season objective had been a top 6 finish. That said, the team should and could have secured promotion with two games remaining; a win in the penultimate game against promotion rivals Banstead would have been enough. Having scored 223 the side had the opposition at 160-9 with the last pair scoring 63 to win. Even a victory in the last game against Valley End would have secured promotion as Banstead, surprisingly, lost to demoted Hampton Wick. The team played 17, won 9 with 3 draws and 5 defeats. Over the course of the season the side used 35 players with a hardcore of 8 playing more than half the games. There was good use of junior players with the likes of Toby Thomas, Ed Thomas, George Miles and Ed Knight benefiting from competitive games. In summary it was a fun and competitive season against strong oppositions with the club benefiting from playing at 1st Division standard. The runs were led by Bharath Rangarajan with 437 @ 29 and Guy Goodwin 363 @ 36 including 105 against TMW. The wicket taking was led by Nick Emmins and Eddie Knight who both took 16, although both only played half a season in the 3rd XI. O&L 3rd XI looks forward to next season and a focus on promotion, then hopefully to challenge in the Premier league in 2015. Finally!!! At the third attempt, after two very near misses, the mighty 4th XI of OLCC gained its place in

90 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports the Premiership as champions of the Central Division. The team finished with 12 wins from 15 matches, losing only the last game when the title was already secured. Starting impressively, with consecutive 9-wicket victories against Merstham, Trinity and Purley, the bowling attack dismantled the opposition cheaply, with Nigel Pearce (including a 5-fer 2), Jay Mastin and Toby Thomas doing the damage. The batters took their turn against Epsom, President Bob Dalziel and Mastin scoring undefeated centuries in a 190-run win. Opener Dalziel was not out until his fifth game of the season, at which point his average was 224! A winning draw with a depleted attack against Sutton and a 7-wicket win over Sanderstead set up the head-to-head against main rivals, Banstead. From 88 for 5 the side gritted out a total of 201 (59* from young ‘keeper George Miles), before an excellent 5-22 from Dave Paisey sealed a 69 run victory. With a game in hand and a comfortable points cushion it was then a question of not slipping up; easier said than done! Good wins followed against Addiscombe and Trinity, including a club record opening stand of 271 from Bob Dalziel and Greg Miller and a 5-fer 13 for Toby Greenwood. A tense fighting draw away to Purley and one-sided contests against Merstham and Epsom (Toby Thomas 5-25), and a satisfying 184 run chase for 3 vs. Sutton, meant the team only needed to avoid defeat to Banstead in the penultimate fixture. Ben Fullard (5-21) teed up an 8 wicket win in an excellent team fielding performance, and the title was won! The 4s benefited from a spine of seasoned stalwarts; Bob Dalziel (541 runs), Alan Schmidt (241) Greg Miller (316), the excellent Pearce (33 wickets @ 10.7), James Harrison, Rhys Buckley and Paul Greenwood. Most encouragingly, this season also witnessed the development of U16s Greenwood and Thomas as a genuine opening partnership (41 wickets), and the blooding of many other colts from U12-U16. Another great season for the 4s; now bring on the Premier Division!!

Winter 2012 saw big change at Purley CC 1st XI both in personnel and club objectives. Following the disappointment of relegation the previous season the 1st XI saw the exit of several senior and paid players. Rather than dwell on the negatives of this situation a positive attitude was taken by all to grasp this fresh start. The role of 1st XI skipper was given to James Scott who took charge of a relatively untested and youthful side boosted by the late inclusion of overseas player Savion Lara. Purley kicked off their season with two convincing friendly wins under the interim captaincy of Andy Macdonald. Unfortunately it could not carry that momentum forward into the first league game and lost a close, rain affected game to Walton. The season did not really get off the ground until the 3rd game in when an all-round display from Purley led to a crushing win over Pyrford. Purley scored 298 from 50 overs with runs from S.Patel (82) and S.Lara (70). Pyrford were spun out for 128 with 6 wickets for Macdonald and Khan. Nonetheless consistency in results was elusive and good performances were offset by poor ones like the team dismissal for 55 to Worcester Park at home. Ultimately unease about relegation was avoided by a strong finish to the season with wins over Trinity Mid Whits and Ashford. Savion Lara ended up with 669 runs @ 51.46 with a top score of 129*, whilst Shane Patel in his first full season opening scored 460 runs @ 30.67. Razi Khan led the bowling attack with his ever reliable capturing 29 wickets over the season. There were also notable performances from Kapilan Bala, Harry Hanford and Tishan Wanigaratne, whilst new 1st team players like J. Sugarman, A. Kelly and J. Johnson showed great promise. A new lease of life to team spirit and club morale bodes well for 2014! It has been a good year for Purley 2nd XI finishing 4th in the table and only 18 points away from promotion. The season started with a loss away to Walton although 3 wins in a row thereafter helped kick start the season, setting a good foundation. However inconsistency led to some poor performances throughout the season which hindered any promotion chances. There was some very good cricket played with great team spirit which especially showed in the game against Old Wimbledonians which was won by 102 runs. There were good performances throughout the season with both bat and ball and especially pleasing was the way some of the younger cricketers like Jack Johnson, Jack Sugarman and Harry Handford have all shown great progress. Gurpaul Singh shone with the ball, finishing with 30 wickets including 9-78 against Walton on Thames. He received good support from Asif Ali (13), Sunny Bowry (12) and Assad Naeem (12). The batting this year was dominated by Sunny Bowry who scored 486 runs in 13 innings and finished the highest run scorer in the 2nd XI Division 2. He was closely followed by Kapilan Bala who scored 402 runs in

91 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports just 9 innings including 129* against Addiscombe. They were followed by Assad Naeem (285), Asif Ali (280) and Tauseef Mehdi (246). The side is getting stronger each year especially thanks to some good young cricketers stepping up to the mark and great team spirit, this will enable the team to fight even harder next year towards promotion. With the 3rd XI’s successful promotion of the 2012 season, the main goal for the 2013 season was to secure its position within the new division. With a very young team at the beginning of the season, this looked like it would prove to be more challenging than initially anticipated. However, with key performances from Jack Johnson, Gohar Khan, Harry Short and Mike Short throughout the course of the season, the team achieved its goal of staying up with a handful of games to spare. Mention has to be made of other youngsters such as Alex Yee and Lateef Hassan who, when called upon, proved their worth in the senior team. The side will build on the foundation of this year with an even larger solid core of players, including those returning from university. Next year the goal will be promotion and hopefully it will achieve this with the current crop of youngsters mixed with experience. Purley 4th XI’s season can be summed up as being a successful season both personally for individual players but also as a side. This is highlighted by the fact that it spent most of the season challenging two other sides for promotion. Unfortunately it fell just short of the mark of promotion but this was largely due to not being able to field a constant eleven week in week out because of players’ availability which most likely cost promotion and meant finishing in 3rd position. The side should be proud of the fact that they had four batters, four bowlers and a wicket keeper occupying positions within the top ten performance statistics of each trade respectively. Overall each player within the side performed at various stages throughout the season but the notable performances of the season were Michael Thake taking 8 wickets for 19 runs against Epsom and Adam Bayley scoring 101* against Epsom. Hopefully next season the team will be in a position to field a consistent eleven, week in week out, and maintain the challenge and ultimately gain promotion.

2013 was a tough year with the 1st XI suffering relegation from Division 2. Whilst it showed capabilities in some games; scoring over 300 at Walton, chasing 280 at Purley, and taking the league winners, Cranleigh, to the final over in each game, the lack of consistency in between these highlights ultimately cost too many points and the side can have no complaints about where it finished in the league. Notable performances included a 7 wicket haul for James Hammond against Trinity and Eric Weirich’s hundred at Walton but leading players of the season were Ben Hunt with 27 wickets and Sys Meyer with over 600 runs. Sadly there was not enough support from the rest of the team to turn these contributions into points and this will be something to correct for next season. A huge thank you to anyone who contributed to the team this year, be that in playing, supporting, doing teas, scoring etc. The support is hugely appreciated and the team is looking forward to next season already with some exciting new recruits. A hard fought 2nd XI campaign saw a decent seventh place finish, with strong wins against Thames Ditton, Sinjuns, Maori Oxshott and Camberley providing the high points. Struggles with availability forced a number of changes to personnel every week which made it difficult to have the consistency needed to get over the line against some of the better teams. Overall, however, it was pleasing to see that the team remained competitive and battled hard, with everyone who played making a contribution and enjoying themselves. Thanks to all those who supported the side on and off the field, with particular mention to regular umpire Bob Woodward. The bowling effort was ably led by Benedict Kenney and Bedanta Goswami, who took 23 and 17 wickets respectively, including the team’s two 5 fors. Cam Aughterson, Martin Jones, Josh Harrower and Matt Prince all provided key support across the season. Keeping duties were shared well between Richard Slatford and Andy Walsh. Dave Jones (298 runs) and James Lipscombe (242) proved to be the mainstays in the batting line-up, together with ‘Most Improved Player’ Matthew Dickenson who scored 199 in 7 innings. Stephen Cowburn had another strong season, opening the batting, amassing 543 runs at an average of just under 39. Congratulations to Old Whits and Egham on their promotions and the team looks forward to building on this season in 2014.

Losing home and away to Wimbledon and Sunbury, and at home to Weybridge (the away fixture was abandoned), Reigate Priory 1st XI was never going to challenge for the division leadership. Given that, to finish in 4th spot, “best of the rest”, was a highly creditable performance under new skipper Neil Saker. Last year’s handbook made mention of “a team in transition” and this state continued particularly as player losses at the end of 2012 weakened the batting still further. For all of that, Chris Murtagh (576 @ 48.00) had his fifth year in a row scoring over 500 runs in the league, with an aggregate since 2009 of 3,031 runs @ 49.69. In 2013 he scored one century and had four scores between 72* and 88. Priory’s overseas player Andy Delmont (531 @ 37.93) had three 60s in his first four innings to get the Priory’s season off to a good start. Henry Tye, one of several 2nd XI players to be tried out in the firsts, cemented the number four batting spot as his own with an impressive debut season of 301 runs @ 27.36, and a top score of 90. (234 @ 58.50), played four games including a magnificent 124 at Guildford made in a 3rd wicket partnership of 197 with Murtagh (72*). Reigate’s strength was its bowling. The captaincy seemed to inspire Saker and he finished joint top wicket taker with 29 wickets at an average 23.93 with a best bowling of 4-26 against Banstead including a hat trick. New recruit Luke Beaven, a slow left-armer, had a standout season with 29 wickets @ 19.93 and an economy rate of 3.16. Will Hodson, last year’s top wicket-taker in the league, nabbed 27 wickets (including two fifers) @ 22.44. Both Steven Hirst (14 @ 21.21) and Richard Stevens (14 @ 32.93) contributed to this strong attack. The 2nd XI had a mixed year; unlike the seasons before, the side started very well beating a strong Wimbledon side in the process. However, it was not meant to be and unfortunately it was once again the batting department which let the side down. Regular poor starts from the top 5 cost Priory on many occasions, leaving too much work for the middle order and tail enders. The senior batsmen, Loft, Gale, Mirza, Halton and Macdonald all averaged above 30 (special mention to Ben Donovan averaging 37), but poor availability and a lack of support from the younger players really showed, as the side posted weak totals on a regular basis. It was however a different story with the bowlers and in the field. The bowlers were fantastic all year and the regular attack of Cross, Donovan, Harmer, Briggs and Newbold (Mirza proved very useful too) would keep the 2nd XI in the game, whatever the situation. Harmer took top spot with 30 wickets at an economy of 2.96 per over. Cross was fantastic and unlucky not to have more scalps to his name and it was particularly exciting to see Newbold and Donovan develop as the season went on. Both these youngsters will be a real threat in the league next year and will push for a 1st XI spot. Finally the fielding was one of the side’s key strengths and special mention goes to Jordan Bunyan, who was superb behind the stumps all year; another youngster who has deserved his spot in the side and keeps improving both with the bat and the gloves. Despite the disappointing 4th place finish, the future does look bright, as the club is currently developing some great youth players across all the sides. It is now up to these players to drive towards the 1st XI, which is very realistic for a number of these talented lads. A much strengthened batting line-up made the 3rd XI a formidable opposition for the first two thirds of the season, and wins against Wimbledon, where the side chased 270 and a comprehensive victory over Sunbury were the two highlights of the season. A loss of form in the last six games, including crushing defeats at the hands of Sunbury and Sutton saw the team drop from first to third. Despite the disappointing end, there were many positives to be taken from the season, especially the increasing consistency of performances from the younger players. Consistency was a problem for the 4th XI with 56 different players fielded, while losing key tosses meant that few points were taken from the declaration games. However, the limited overs games were more successful, with points taken from 6 of the 8 games played. Several young players made their senior debuts, and key contributions were made by Wilbur Tiley, George Elliston, Rory Haughton and Sam Hall, all of whom are U15. Of the seniors, Manoj Rajarethinam scored most runs including a brutal 114* on debut, and Geoff Chay gave Priory some good starts with runs at the top of the order. Skipper Justin Dempsey topped the bowling stats with 26 wickets during the campaign. A win on the final day against Dulwich meant that Priory avoided relegation, and for a 5th XI to compete and survive in a 4th XI Premier League while giving full playing roles to its emerging youngsters, the season may perhaps be considered a successful one.

After finishing as champions last season this was the 2nd XI’s first crack in the championship and a debut for the captain, taking over the reins from the successful Jeremy Russell. The team set out with two main aims; firstly not to get relegated and secondly, make sure it competed in every game played. The side completed both these targets which was pleasing. Only on two occasions was the team out played, to Guildford City, who finished the season as champions and to Cranleigh, who finished as runners up. Apart from these games the side gave a good account of itself. A couple of major highlights came with the bat. The first was a huge ton from Tim Russell, 172*, against Met Police. As Met dropped out the league his score has been wiped from the records, which is a shame. The second massive ton was courtesy of Tom Christiansen; this came in the last game of the season against Godalming. Godalming batted first and scored 289 from 50 overs but Ripley chased the total down with 10 balls to spare thanks to a superb 162 from Tom. There were 4 batsmen in the top 25 leading run scorers in the league, S Hoggett (308 runs), T Christiansen (306), Y Arif (275) and H Jamil (219). On the bowling front Matt Cliff again continued to be the top man with the ball taking 25 wickets. That total would have been a lot more had he not played the last 4 games of the season in the 1st team! H Jamil did well again with ball chipping in with 17 wickets. There is no doubt that with better player availability and some hard work this team will continue to improve and make real progress next season.

Sanderstead 1st XI had an average season in 2013. With high hopes during winter preseason Sanderstead believed it would be able to push for one of the promotion places. However, player injuries and poor availability meant that mid way during the season Sanderstead found themselves in the bottom half of the table. Availability was so poor this season that in many games the 1s had several 3s players and on occasions even could not put an 11 out. In the second half of the season things got better on the availability front and when Sanderstead were able to put a proper 1s side out, it did well. Here's looking forward to a better 2014. Dan Udel was 1st XI Captain. Sanderstead CC 2nd XI had a very tough season. After a number of back to back promotions the team found themselves in the highest league any team in the club’s history have played. This proved too much for the team to sustain and although being competitive in most matches, wins proved very hard to come by. The situation became even harder when the club’s 1st team came calling for players half way through the season. This left a small core of the 2nd team to combine with players from lower elevens to fight relegation. Again the team remained competitive, and an amazing performance by ten men away to a very strong Valley End team fighting for promotion nearly provided the win that could have instilled much needed confidence for the run in to the end of the season. In the end the team’s second win of the whole season against Trinity Mid Whitgiftians preceeded by an amazing tie against Farnham in the last two fixtures came just too late to save the team from relegation. All those who played in the second half of the season should take great encouragement from the performances against the odds into next season. Playing in Division 3 of the 3rd XI league, the side had a fantastic season, finishing second and achieving promotion. It was fantastic to see such a young team this year, all of whom have grown up playing at Sanderstead, enjoying themselves and playing some really good cricket too. The key reason for success this year was the improvement in the batting. Chasing big totals was always something that had eluded the 3rd XI but this year the side was chasing scores of 200 with ease. Mainly thanks to Tom Ottewill, Ollie Knight, Jack Sadler and Harrison Weaver whose average of 116 is something unlikely to be seen again at this level. 94 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Weaver’s century against Kingstonian in the 195 partnership he shared with Tom Ottewill was by far and away the highlight of the season. The bowlers should not go without praise however. The way the side defended a score of 110 at Chertsey was an especially good achievement. James Allen and Ollie Horner contributed some real pace and the reliable old hands of Paul Funnell and Dan Allen chipped in with plenty of wickets and good economy rates. Finally a mention of gratitude to Patrick Sherlock and David Sadler who provided the team with an umpire and scorer this season, a real rarity at this level. Overall, a fantastic season played in good spirit by all teams; the whole side looks forward to the challenge of next year. The 4th XI finished a creditable 6th out of 9 in the Eastern Division. It was great to have a proper summer weather-wise this year and some really exciting games, the highlight being the draw with Sutton which went down to the last over with all 4 results possible. The team kept up the winning streak against local foes Trinity Mid-Whitgiftians and the run of draws against Addiscombe continued including the revenge for last year’s epic! Congratulations to all the other teams in the league in playing to the spirit of the league this year. The 4s achieved its aim of giving a new batch of promising colts their first taste of senior competitive cricket. Hopefully with another year playing next season the club will have some more stars of the future. The colts were, as ever, ably supported by the more senior members of the team. On the batting front there were good innings from Dave Young, Lance Harris, Johnny Lock, Matt Walton and Shaz Tariq. Congratulations to Korky Bull on getting a maiden 50 and Lindsay Walters for getting his highest ever score, batting through the innings against Banstead. On the bowling front Lance Harris was the top wicket taker. Stand out performances came from Dan Allen 6 for 25, Keith Haynes 5 for 11 and Lance Harris 5 for 41. Ken Ekem was his regular unlucky self but came good in an end of season friendly when he took 5 for 5. The side is blessed with one of the most reliable wicket keepers in the league in Hugh Duncan and it is great to have a regular umpire in Ken George, who volunteered to do both ends most weeks. Finally a special mention for Richard Carey, the under 15s manager, who supported the team; rounding up young players at short notice, taking the book and even umpiring when Ken was not available.

After narrowly avoiding relegation last year, SG’s 1st XI could no longer defer the effects of losing the entire first team at the end of the 2011 season and, with huge regret, drops out of the Surrey Championship. Once again the team competed in spells, pushing even the top teams close; losing by 1 wicket against the champions Guildford City and only 2 wickets against runners up Hampton Wick. However occasional and short-lived hot streaks in the field can never compensate for consistent poor performances with the bat. An inexperienced team with talented stroke makers and obdurate blockers could not develop the game plan and strategy to build scores in the manner of a 1st XI Surrey Championship team. This was so often seen by opposition batting line-ups that seemed to find a way to put an innings together even when put under immense pressure during periods of the game. The team hopes to say ‘Au revoir’ as opposed to goodbye to the Surrey Championship. In parallel to the first team, the 2nd XI also saw relegation after a 2 year stint in Division 3. The damage was done early season where on 5 occasions it failed to defend scores around the 200 mark. On early season wickets the team might expect to win at least 2 of these games, but performances as a unit in the field did not create the necessary pressure to force a victory. Vital wins against Thames Ditton and Camberley, in which Adil Latif’s figures of 7 for 41 and 5 for 26 respectively set-up victory, gave hope. However despite Rashid Latif’s 27 wickets for the season, time and matches ran out for SGs and Division 4 beckons for 2014. Early promise for SG’s 3rd XI team, including a rolling over of Mertsham’s batting line-up for only 20 runs, failed to materialise into a substantive promotion run. After skipper Ollie Williams had to resign due to work commitments, Indi Dhalivaal stepped ‘unto the breach’ only to find stiff competition against increasingly impressive sides playing at 3rd XI level. After some early losses during his captaincy, once firmly at the wheel, Indi steered the team forward to mid-table respectability with some solid wins and laid a platform to tackle season 2014 with renewed vigour. The success story for SGs was a new look 4th XI that ran away with the league title and promotion to the 4th XI Premier where new challenges await. Skipper Carl Holding, in his first season, shaped consistent personnel into a strong unit with an excellent team spirit. Added to that, strong individual performances from Jeet Basak with 27 wickets and Johan Raaths with

95 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports 396 runs including a fine century ensured the league was wrapped up with matches to spare. Also of note, a mighty 173* from Ettienne Massyn stood out as a fine innings. The introduction of Afrikaan cooking and brandy into the club was also a welcome addition.

It was an ultimately disappointing showing from SRK 1st XI in the Surrey Championship this season. However, the withdrawal of Met Police has given the team a lifeline and allowed it to stay in the Division to better the record next year. It is felt within the club that the league position does not do justice to the talent in the team and too often it was lack of availability that led to disjointed team performances. On the few occasions the side was at ‘full-strength’ it was a match for most teams and collected most of its points on these occasions. As a team blooding lots of youngsters the side will have a group of players returning next season older, stronger and more experienced which will stand it in good stead. In truth though, many other clubs suffer with poor availability and the like, and next year the team will need much stronger individual performances to enable it to win games. The batting was led well by the opening pair of Adam Pryor and Tommy Smith. Jason Wilds and Smiten Patel chipped in with crucial 50s which turned potential defeats into winning draws and victories whilst the two Joes (Medland and Prior) often contributed with a quick 20 or 30 down the order. The bowling was opened well by a combination of Dan Pearce, Joe Prior and Sid Manns but a lack of wickets early on allowed oppositions to build foundations. Mark Kearsey, Tommy Smith and Smiten Patel were left with the task of picking up wickets in the middle overs. The side really lacked a consistently reliable (or available!) 5th bowler, especially in the limited overs games. Definitely room for improvement next year, but a season the side has learnt from and it will be determined not to let next season be a repeat performance.

The season started with tight losses to Reigate and Guildford before a miraculous win at Weybridge, Spencer only mustered 133 before Weybridge, cruising on 79/1, were bundled out for 119. Sutton were then blown away for 37 by Edwards and Tudor, and the runs then knocked off without loss as feet were found in the Premier League. The longer games were more of a challenge. East Molesey and Banstead were both 9 down, but a 10th wicket could not be found. Humbling defeats to Sunbury and Wimbledon, before a trip to Malden Wanderers where Carberry’s 5 for and 124 supported by a maiden 50 for Hugo Darby secured an 8 wicket win. Defeats at home to Weybridge and away at Sutton meant the side was still in a relegation battle. Carberry produced a master class to score 117* against Reigate securing 4 points. The final long game was a trip to Guildford and after posting 250, Danny O’Shea’s 6 wickets secured a valuable win. East Molesey visited for the return to limited overs and was crushed by 8 wickets thanks to an opening stand of 193 between Batty (106) and Darby (79). A professional win at Banstead secured Premier League Cricket with three games remaining. A tough loss to an excellent Wimbledon attack followed, before a victory against an already relegated Malden Wanderers meant Spencer finished 5th. Darby 469 runs @ 33.5, Batty 364 @ 40.44 and Baumann 335 @ 37.2 were the mainstays of the batting supported by Carberry’s two hundreds. O’Shea led the bowling attack with 45 wickets @ 17.76; Edwards 12 @ 12 when allowed out to play plus strong mentions for Turk, Speller and Lewis. Thanks to Chris Lowe for scoring and the Browns for teas. The 2nd XI having faced relegation from Div 1 in 2012 had a new look and feel for the 2013 campaign. With the appointment of new skipper Samad Lone there were early signs of what was to come by some early 96 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports preseason victories. The final tally was a total of 11 victories, 2 WD, 1 LD, 3 losses and a washout against Worcester Park (which ironically resulted in confirming champion’s status). Promotion was gained with 5 games remaining which is a testament to the team’s domination and professionalism through the campaign. The batting honours were shared by a number of players. Prasit Ghosh 351 runs (master class 85 vs. Walton) and James Smith 341 runs provided a solid opening partnership and some fine 50s from both players set up good targets and run chases. The middle order was always strengthened by old campaigners Khawar Saleem 340 runs and Samad Lone 310. Saleem’s brutal performances against Walton, home and away, cemented the team’s credentials as winners by ensuring the eventual runners up never got within sight. Other performances were 199 runs total by Luke Billingham (83 vs. Woking) and a fine 150 not out by Chris Baumann. Kiyo Jason and youngster Calvin Williams kept superbly through the season and Calvin’s contribution with the bat averaging over 50 proved a stabilising ingredient late season. There must also be mention of Jamie Blackwell and Mohsin Jafri for some valuable contributions. Aqib Sindhu was superb with the ball taking 40 wickets at an average of 10, and a wicket every 3 overs. He took 4 wickets or more 6 times including an incredible 8-48 vs. BoE in a low scoring game. His control and ability to move the ball proved too good for many teams. Mohsin Jafri’s leg spin took 26 wickets and proved invaluable to the overall team achievement. Julian Hodges and Samad Lone contributed well through the season and with the arrival of new comer colt Babar Hussain the future is bright. Gus Grant was beaten to the top catcher status by the skipper primarily from first slip. Sorry Gus! Jamie Blackwell and Saqib Malik were excellent in the field. There is great hope for next year and with the other 3 club teams reconfirming their status in their respective Premier Leagues the team already has a clear objective in sight for 2014. Thanks go to Hugo De Mel for umpiring, Ian Brown for scoring and Louis McGuire for preparing the strips. The 3rd XI ended up mid-table in 5th position. The bowling was generally the strength with the batting, appearing stronger on paper, struggling throughout the season. This is illustrated by the fact that Aymun Ali had the highest aggregate run score of 204 at 20.4. Aymun and Rehan Malik both scored a couple of fifties with 8 other batsmen scoring a fifty each. Even in a generally young side these figures are disappointing. The bowling was generally very strong. The strong pace battery headed up by Monty Sajdewa (17 wickets @ 10.88) who was outstanding every time he played for the threes, and two very promising colts who will play at a higher level, Wasim Malik and Babar Hussain. Rehan Malik, Peter Tilley and Ollie Williams all bowled well when called upon. The spin department was left short, especially when the 2nd eleven decided they needed 4 spinners. Shakir Farooqi was mostly the only spinner in the side and topped the league with 43 wickets. Overall the season could have been more successful with more application in the batting and more focus in the bowling. Some very good positives though. The side had several new faces that fitted in well, Ollie Williams, Chris Willmer (who substituted as captain very well), Adam Fradgley and Harry Bardon, though not new certainly added another dimension. The most rewarding aspect is watching youngsters get stronger and better each year. Alex Rackow went on to play in the first eleven, Wasim Malik and Babar Hussain are surely just passing through the threes, Archie MacPherson and Aymun Ali are both going to be pushing hard for a 2nd XI place and there were good debuts from Cyrus Azariah and Cameron Ponsonby. Thanks to Faizan Ahmed and Greig MacPherson for umpiring, Jay John for scoring, and of course the Browns for tea. Spencer 4th XI enjoyed an impressive season and although a league position of 4th was identical to that of 2012, the team was a useful year-on-year 17 points better this time. The season was not helped by the skipper's ineptitude with the toss, which played a key role in at least two defeats. However, it would be wrong to focus on the negatives, for they were comfortably out-weighed by some impressive performances. Hussain Jafri was solidity personified contributing 346 runs with two hard hit 70s. Omer Shad’s bowling got better as the season went on culminating in a standout 5-30. He was backed up by Waseem Qayyum's canniness and 16 wickets. However, it was the performances of Spencer's youngsters which really stood out. Babar Hussain was outstanding with his right arm fast. It was entirely deserved that Babar found himself in the 2s at the end of the season. Another real star with ball in hand was a post university Patrick Osborne and his bowling deserved far more than his 6 wickets. Cameron Ponsonby starred with both bat and ball; his leg breaks particularly early in the season wreaked havoc. His batting got better as the season went on and his 50* against Woking was excellent. Giles Poole made a big impression towards the end of the season largely with the ball but also a very sprightly 47* against Epsom. It was delightful to see so many of the U15s age group come through and begin to fulfil their promise. The batter of the year was Toby Harrison who was one of just three to score more than 200 runs in the season and ended it scoring 40+ in four of his last five innings. So, fourth, with a great second half of the season, including a bonus point win over the always strong Wimbledon. Lots to build on for 2014.

Staines and Laleham 1st XI made the decision in 2013 to try and give youth a chance. Whilst this was not always possible for various reasons, ultimately the team does believe that certain individuals benefitted from being given opportunities that they may not have been afforded in previous seasons. With both Epsom and Chipstead playing by far the best cricket, it was no surprise that they deservedly finished in the promotion places. For the 1st XI it was an inconsistent campaign and one that ultimately meant a mid-table finish. Very much the undoubted star was all-rounder Dilan Peris from New Zealand. After a slow start he became the king pin of the team around which many wins were built. He amassed over 600 runs along with 40 plus wickets employing both medium pace and leg spin! Behind Dilan came Sanjay Basnayake with over 400 league runs and important wickets plus possibly the safest hands in the Division! Before a freak injury cut his season short, Chris Bolton was more consistent than he had been in recent years with 300 league runs with both Ryan Ramdin and Adam Smith contributing 250 each. With the ball the side missed the edge afforded them by Tim Bloomfield whose appearances were few and far between. Once again Dilan was the star along with support from Sean Archer and Basnayake. On the whole is was a pleasing season, having started without key performers from recent years and it is hoped that with Dilan set to return in 2014 that the inclusion of further young talent can make for more consistency and a higher finish. The 2nd XI season started with Steve Weller taking over the captaincy. Mark Stevens had led the side through the Surrey County League and just missed out on promotion in 2012. This season was to be a period of change, mixing youth and experience and fielding 31 different players including over a dozen teenagers. After losing the first two games, there was an unbeaten run that lasted until mid-July. In the end the side finished 3rd, just behind the deserved top two Cranleigh and Guildford City. The backbone of the batting were openers Andy Cranston (483 runs @ 40.25, including 106 vs. Ripley) and the youthful Harvey Parsons (232 @ 21.09) who usually gave the side a great start. The middle order varied but there were notable contributions from Sam Barrett (175 @ 25.0), Ben Nannery (148 @ 18.5), Steve Weller (137 @ 22.83), Gary Turner (131 @ 18.7) and wicketkeeper Liam Harper (113 @ 18.83). Youngsters Ben Nannery (77) and Gordon Leeks (57*) made breakthrough innings. The bowling effort was spearheaded by seamer Gary Turner (29 wickets @ 18.41), veteran Alex Ardis (29 @ 14.24) and recruit Sunny Shariff (22 @ 15.27). Their ability to take wickets regularly was the basis of several victories, with all taking five wicket hauls during the season. Other useful contributions came from spinners Richard Coverdale and Peter Roberts plus seamers Steve Weller, Adam Fearn and Peter Gyves. The bowlers were supported by some great fielding, based around wicketkeepers Liam Harper and Sam Barrett. The athleticism of Harvey Parsons, Ben Nannery, Gary Turner and Majik Patel helped inspire the rest of the side and was crucial to the success. Thanks to Andy Cranston for his support as vice-captain and for acting as skipper when required. A big thank you to umpire Dickie Bowden, who was the only ever present throughout the year plus thanks to all the ladies who produced such great teas. The 3rd XI could have achieved so much more but with reduced availability, ultimately, the side was not as consistent as it needed to be to achieve a top two finish. Young Gordon Leeks was the revelation and contributed 253 league runs before being hauled into the 2nd XI where he recorded a half century score. Behind Gordon came stalwarts, veteran wicketkeeper Paul Barrett (215), skipper Paul Donlevy (174) and all- rounder John Nannery (162). With the ball it was Deepan Ayasamy’s 22 wickets that led the way with another all-rounder Chris Hunt (21) just behind. Many of the younger members, Nathan Hunt, Peter Gyves and David Robinson, to name just three, were often the match winners. Hopefully availability will improve for 2014 leading to a more concerted effort. This season proved a challenge for the 4th XI. Most of the colts who had been the backbone of the side in recent seasons had progressed to higher XIs, performing with distinction, thus proving that 4th XI cricket in its current form is an excellent way of developing younger players. With a vastly reduced colts’ contingent, it tended to be an aged side that took the field most weeks. Disappointingly, availability problems led to the side having to cancel two fixtures, something not done in previous seasons. With the make-up of the side changing, repeating last season’s second place finish was always going to be difficult. This proved to be the case with a sixth place finish and victories only coming against lower teams.

98 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports As usual there were some significant individual performances. A hundred for Irfan Ali Khan, fifties for Dave Lansdowne, Tim Evans, David Gyves, and Tom Howick, Mitchell Bonnick’s valiant rearguard action against Kempton which so nearly saved the game, Dave Lansdowne’s runs showing that hip replacements do not interfere with cricket and Tim Evans’ tactical awareness and consistent batting, despite dodgy knees. Five wicket hauls for David Gyves, Graham Cole and Tom Oades plus excellent bowling from Jay Pabari, without due reward. There was also fine fielding and batting from Duncan Bailey and it looks like the big score is just around the corner. Many thanks to all who played, especially those who dusted off their whites after several years and answered the Saturday morning panic phone call. As always a huge thank you to Steve Honey for the ground and Jane Walgate for her lovely teas!

Mixed emotions at the end of the season for the 1st XI and 2nd XI when stumps were drawn, but an overall sense of satisfaction at club level on what was achieved on and off the field. The loss of Ranji Trophy winner Hiken Shah and Premiership bound Tim Handel presented challenges for the new-look 1st XI, but the acquisition of new coach Jono Fowler, and new overseas Shahil Ramdin helped to produce excellent results. Sadly, despite the longest unbeaten run since the mid-1980s, two clumsy 50- over defeats in the closing weeks meant the team finished the wrong side of the dotted line. New captain Will Gudgeon led the way with the batting aggregates, (568 runs @ 47.33); and Ramdin put a high price on his wicket, averaging 61.33. Adrian Taylor was a welcome returnee to open; Billy Newman, a popular new recruit, steered the side to victory on home debut against Paulines. When schools and universities broke up, those youngsters took their chances. James Trower and Dan Douthwaite shared an opening stand of 139 at Paulines; Surrey EPP player Olly Trower, James Corbishley and Nico Spreeth, (5- for on debut vs. Paulines), all impressed and should score heavily and take many wickets in future seasons. With the ball, Fowler took 42 wickets at less than 15-a-piece and was destined to lead the league before injury curtailed his workload. Douthwaite took 22 wickets @ 14.50 including back to back 5-fors against Godalming and Hampton Wick; Alex Bond, (19 @ 11.74), was a reliable pace option in the middle overs, one of many to benefit from Fowler’s guidance. Jack Raimondo took a 5-for against Hampton Wick, consolation for a poor season with the bat. Adrian Mills, a 2nd XI stalwart for a decade, earned a 1st XI spot off the back of a good pre-season and was accurate and economical throughout; truly Mr. Consistency, even if the same couldn’t always be said of his hamstring. Occasionally the fielding was surprisingly erratic, although Ramdin’s keeping was first class. Gudgeon, Fowler and Matt Gottschalk stood out. If the players stay hungry, the side hopes to build on this season. A memorable season, exceeding all expectations, for the 2nd XI after a disappointing 2012 and the loss of the first two games of 2013. More players were coaxed out of hibernation and a better feed from the 1st XI led to improved results; one fourteen week period saw just two matches lost, a run of 100-over wins compensating for the early season defeats. Everyone who played can look back at one or more games where they contributed to a win. Two of Steve Wade’s three fifties anchored successful chases; Olly Trower (80 vs. Horsley & Send); Nick Lo & Dom Morley (61 & 62 respectively in the reverse fixture); Peter Phipps (62 vs. Chessington); and Alistair McMillan & James Corbishley (54 & 61 respectively at home vs. Chertsey), helped the team win games batting second. Keith Watson saw the side home against the Avorians. Last-over run chases at Hampton Wick and home to Chessington showed bottle; but the season- changing partnership came at Chertsey when Greg Routley (70 off 30) and Tom Gudgeon (56 off 58) rescued the team from 86-6 to get 244. The game was won by 119 and the side never looked back. Whenever the side was 5 or more down for less than 100, it still managed to score over 220; lower order runs in plentiful supply from Jase Earl and Gudgeon. Ever present vice-captain Malcolm Dickson made important scores at various positions in the order to glue innings together. Routley’s belligerence and whole- hearted approach to the game was a massive boost. Five-fors were at a premium, although Gary Harkett’s 7-49 against Hampton Wick and Andy Page’s 6-17 at Avorians stood out. Harkett and Ralph Coleman shared all ten Warlingham wickets, the latter taking his first ever hat-trick. Spreeth bagged five at Alleyn & Honor Oak before a 1st XI call-up. In any given week, all the bowlers shared wickets and made important breakthroughs. Earl bowled much better than his stats; Page, Watson, Will Thomson, Donovan Hall, Stephen Anderson, Lo and Baz Medlycott helped to win games that appeared lost.

99 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports The squad was bolstered by making full use of the youth system; Medlycott, Thomson, Morley, Spreeth, Giacomo Gray, Lian Meyer and Marcus Mahne all performed well. The end result – PROMOTION! – would not have been possible without the inspirational leadership of Andy Page. The spirit in which he saw games played stood out. Whilst the side never took itself too seriously, it played to win and have fun at the same time; the number of clubs who asked Stoke for a friendly in 2014 was endorsement of how the side went about its cricket.

Four players passed 250 runs. Dan Ellis (371 @ 29) was steady without playing a match winning innings; Jack Thomas (335 @ 37) was occasionally brutal on the opposition (as the bowlers and parked cars of Woking can testify). Youngster, Shareef Hassan (305 @ 22) grew into the season and finished with a fine knock against Wimbledonians in a crucial game and Zakir Rostami (277 @ 25) stepped up to open the innings and performed admirably. The team struggled to find consistency in the bowling with no one managing a five wicket haul. Andrew Mortimore consistently chipped in with wickets to top the averages with 29 wickets @ 19, Zakir Rostami (18 @ 28) bowled some great spells without much luck, Devon Carr (14 @ 28) bowled some unplayable stuff when not testing out the middle of the pitch and Shareef (13 @ 26) also enjoyed a strong finish to the season. It was crucial that the side backed up the promotion of 2012 with a year consolidating in Division 3 and it just managed to achieve that in the final game of the season. Many thanks to Natalie Hill for scoring, Roger Price for his fine pitches and Eileen De Ruyter for her wonderful teas. A 5th place finish for the 2nd XI was a fair reflection after a season that promised much but saw results unattainable at key times. After an opening day defeat to would-be champions Old Whits, the 2nd team went on a 9 match unbeaten run, tasting defeat only twice in the opening 13 matches. However the season- defining moments came with an inability to force results against Egham, despite a blistering M Thompson century, Oxted & Limpsfield and Thames Ditton; when the side was unable to convert dominant performances into 13 points. A return win against Old Whits, included an inspired spell of 5 for 40 from K Hassan, and an excellent chase in deteriorating conditions, left a glimmer of promotion hope alive. The following week versus Sinjuns gave the most comprehensive victory of the year, which resulted from the best bowling return of the season from A Sharif (6 for 9 from 8 overs). All promotion hopes were dashed in the next fixtures, against O&L and Egham. The Egham game being particularly punishing, after a K De Ruyter ton left Egham chasing 280, the side watched Egham fashion a 200 run unbeaten partnership. A solid chase against Maori Oxshott included another stand out performance from A Knott, with 5 catches and 71*. Another season in Div 3 beckons, but with the same squad and a little more cutting edge at key times, the 2014 season is one to look forward to. A good season for the 3rd XI began with defeat to eventual champions Worcester Park, then victory at Ashford. After a rain-affected preseason, the bowlers were taking wickets and the batting looked to be shaping up well, but there then followed consecutive defeats to Staines & Laleham, Chipstead Coulsdon & Walcountians and Sanderstead. The batting, which had looked good against Ashford, scored a combined total of 292 runs. Approaching July, the team was in the relegation zone and starting to think the unthinkable. However, against West End, the luck changed. The bowling fired (again) and the team chased down the runs and went on a run of seven straight wins that brought the side to the brink of promotion. However, the poor start caught up with the team and defeat in a great game of cricket to Addiscombe, and an abandonment against Sinjuns, ended all hopes. Victory in the final game at Esher secured fourth place, giving the team the feeling of a job well done, but wondering slightly what might have been. As the season was a solid effort by the whole team, no names will be mentioned but it was good to see the club growing and new members fully playing their part. Best of all, colts and young players put in key positions flourished and developed; it will be great to see how they progress in 2014. The 4th XI went into the season looking to bounce back from relegation the previous season. The plan for an instant return to the Premier Division was ultimately scuppered by a dominant Sinjuns side but was also undone by a regularly changing team and batting performances that failed to deliver. Hobbs was the top run scorer with 325 at an average of 54 in the eight games he played. Unfortunately he was only joined in the top 25 league run scorers by skipper Henderson (244 @ 27) and Rai (195 @ 65 from just three innings). On the

100 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports bowling front the ever reliable Gladstone led the team and the league in wickets taken with 26, Henderson took 20 and the never aging Hardy 11. Hughes took 10 wickets in his debut season for the side and with youth coming through the ranks in the form of Viren Patel (7 wickets) the future looks strong for a promotion push in 2014. Second in the table was a decent result although disappointing for a side confident of more.

John Maunders was the team’s outstanding player with 666 runs, 10 wickets and 19 catches. His importance to the team clearly emphasised by the fact that the three games John missed due to coaching commitments (trips to Sutton, Guildford and Wimbledon) all resulted in losses, putting paid to any chance of winning the title. Adam London (519 @ 43), Stuart Poynter (388 @ 43) and Andrew Balbirnie (291 @ 41) all made excellent centuries, but equally would have hoped to have been more consistent in their contributions. Matthew Todd (41 wickets) was the leading wicket taker and at times the team was overly reliant on his wickets in the longer form of the game. That being said, the efforts of Smith (29), Granger (21) and Stanier (23), who took most of the seam bowling workload, were fantastic and all created wickets for each other through consistent pressure. Sunbury continues to be the benchmark in Surrey for producing home-grown players; Stuart Poynter has been awarded a 2 year deal at Durham, while for the most part at least 8 players on the pitch had come through Sunbury’s colts system. The continued development of Amar Verdi, Vishal Manro and Rhythm Bedi is further proof that the talent pool is strong and the future is bright. Flirtations with success continue to make the side stronger and this squad continues to enjoy each other’s company on and off the field and with each year that winning the league evades the team, the desire to win gets ever greater. A successful season for Sunbury 2nd XI, promoted as champions back to the Premiership. Wins in the first 4 limited overs matches established a healthy lead. The timed games presented more of a challenge due to the winning of only 1 toss; however 5 wins were attained keeping the side top going into the last 5 games. Here the side was dominant and secured the promotion with 3 games to go. Unbeaten until the last game, Sunbury fielded a strong team all season. The main contributors with the bat were Ross Wright 524 @ 52, Charlie Holcomb 472 @ 52, Elliot Shaw 424 @ 42, Sean Ventham 386 @ 32, Rhythm Bedi 310 @ 39, Max Hall 294 @ 98 (including 168*, league record) and Charlie Sayers 204 @ 41. The bowling was also consistent with Vishal Manro 34 wickets @ 8.50, Charlie Sayers 23 @ 18, Amar Verdi 18 @ 20, Ishi Sohi 14 @ 22, Salik Awan 17 @ 17, Ruari Crichard 10 @ 14, Sean Ventham 10 @ 14 and Rhythm Bedi 10 @ 19. Retaining the nucleus of this side for 2014 should result in a strong performance in the Premiership. The 3rd XI continues to go from strength to strength in the Premier Division, going one better than in 2012 finishing second behind Wimbledon by only 11 points. A total of over 30 different players were used, showing the strength in depth the club possess throughout all the XIs. A disappointing and difficult start to the season resulted in only 3 wins from the first 6 games, leaving an almost insurmountable gap behind the likes of Reigate and Wimbledon. Fortunes were to change as university and school students returned, which led to 7 wins and a winning draw in 8 games and closing the gap on Wimbledon at the top of the table. A hard fought game away at Wimbledon unfortunately resulted in defeat and effectively ended the title challenge for 2013. 2 wins in the last two games with two other players scoring centuries confirmed 2nd place above Reigate Priory. With the bat, Sam Burgess and Matt Nichols particularly impressed towards the back end of the season scoring 325 @ 36 and 312 @ 39 respectively, both scoring centuries. Matt Golding only batted 6 times due to injury at the start of the season but still managed to score 253 @ 50. While other centurions for the season were Gurvinder Bains, Alex and Robbie Hughes. Young batsmen Mike Smith, Harveer Mahajan and Rajan Soni all impressed and the team hopes they will progress further next year. With the ball, it was mainly down to Matt Nichols 22 @ 12 and Shirsh Bedi 21 @ 15 to take the majority of the wickets, but Saran Kalsi, Sam Burgess, James Birch and Alex Hughes picked up regular important

101 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports wickets. This young developing side will be even hungrier for success and to go one better in 2014. The 4th XI made vast improvements from the previous year and had a very strong season mainly due to the continued development of the younger players, a few wise old men and excellent availability. The side ended runners up to Wimbledon the eventual champions by 16 points. A total of over 40 different players were used showing the overall strength in depth in the club. After a heavy defeat to Dulwich and an exciting second game tied against Woking, the team went on a fantastic run of 8 wins in a row. Two matches were abandoned with adverse weather and the games that had an impact in terms of winning the league were the two against Dulwich resulting in a defeat and a losing draw plus a hard fought defeat against Wimbledon at home. The 4th XI Premier Division as a whole was dominated by Sunbury, Wimbledon and Dulwich and the competiveness of certain games was a concern. These 3 sides were very strong this year and developed a gap from the rest; hopefully the Premier Division will continue to improve and become more competitive. With the bat, contributions came from captain Manvinder Sehmi, Anoop Manro, Mark Ventham, Jack Southby, Karrar Abidi and Sunny Luthra all making valuable contributions. Jack Southby (106* vs. Guildford) and Mark Ventham (100 vs. Ashtead) both scored superb match winning hundreds this year. With the ball, Nobby Clarke was the outstanding performer and finished with 33 league wickets and ended the season as leading wicket taker in the Premier Division. Other main contributors were Bill Kincaid, James Birch, Steve Smith and Ranjit Gopi who all bowled very well and all picked up over 10 wickets. Overall the team played good, hard, competitive cricket in the right spirit and with the right balance between youth and experience the side will be even more determined to go one better next year and become champions.

At the bottom of the table, with 3 points from 6 games, could have led the 1st XI to some despondency but the squad remained positive, maintaining the belief that it was not far from turning the corner. A run of good results followed, taking the side as high as 5th at one stage as players worked hard and began to perform to their potential. There were some standout individual performances. In particular, during the win against Banstead, when Gary Outram batted superbly for a century that gave the team a defendable total and Matthew Cawood’s bowling figures of 6 for 53 resulted in a nail biting last over victory. These two contributions enabled the win which led to a month of very solid cricket from the team. Although the Banstead success triggered the start of a change in fortune for the side, the two draws secured against East Molesey and Malden Wanderers at home proved to be just as important. Both of these matches ended with the team batting out the final overs, which turned out to be the difference between remaining in the Premier Division and being relegated. Mention must be made of Matthew Cawood, Greg Betz and Callum Henshaw, all of whom were able to keep their nerve at crucial times in securing the draws. The match of the season was undoubtedly the win achieved against eventual champions Wimbledon, away from home. The side managed to post a total of 167 which included some good contributions on the batting front from Sam Woods, Dan Edwards, Arun Harinath and Garth Foote (who top scored). The team then pulled together and with a much improved fielding display, led by Josh Allen, along with some good spin bowling, it managed to bowl out Wimbledon for 105 to secure the win. Special thanks to Sarah and Chris for their culinary skills throughout the summer and to the magnificent scorer, Anne. A disappointing campaign for the 2nd XI ended in relegation from the Premier Division. The season started promisingly with a win against Epsom, but the team had to wait until August for the second victory away to Ashtead. Over 45 players were used and five captains tells its own story. At least five games were lost from winning positions due to a lack of experience and poor decision making. Unavailability was a problem throughout and the same XI never featured more than once. On a more positive note, experienced interim captain David Lewis led the way with 410 runs in 12 innings, Mark Rose 367 runs including a century against Banstead and a stunning 130 from 16 year old Sam Wright against a strong Wimbledon attack. The bowling was good at times with the highlights being Bhavin Vaghela 5-39 against Malden Wanderers, 14 year old Owen Kennett’s 5-43 at Weybridge, James Wright’s 6-50 against Guildford and the experienced Nick Clark's match winning 4-24 against Ashtead. A special mention also has to be made of 13 year old who scored an excellent 68 at Epsom in his only appearance. The 2013 season will be remembered for some major batting collapses, lack of continuity and also some inventive field settings by

102 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports David Lewis including a 9-0 offside field against Normandy. A mix of experience, youth and better availability will be needed for a swift return to the Premier Division. A big thank you to Brian Webb for his white coat skills and also to scorer Sam Griffin for his phenomenal ipad scoring. Having secured Premier League status on the final day of last season, the 2013 3rd XI campaign began with a cautious optimism that, if availability was good, the side could be a competitive force within the division. This was enhanced after winning 2 of the first 3 games. However, poor availability led to only 4 players appearing in 14 or more games. On the plus side, the performance of the youngsters was excellent and notable mentions must go to Rehan Ratna, Gus Leonard, Jon Eales and Matt Gardner for their discipline and commitment. They have all shown themselves, on a consistent basis, to be competent 3rd XI cricketers and the win at home to Guildford, where the team had 7 players under 16, was a particular highlight of the season. Of the more experienced players, Jamie Griffin and Manish Srivastava formed an effective opening partnership with Manish getting plenty of starts and Jamie batting consistently well all year, including a couple of vital 50s. However, the undoubted star of the show was the ever enthusiastic Simon Bliss, who in his 11 games scored 421 runs at an average of 61, including two 50s and a 100, statistics unrivalled in the division by anyone who played more than 5 games. Other 100s were scored by Sam Schofield (156 vs. Reigate) and Chris Moore (106* vs. Spencer). Special mentions also to Josh Blake (51* vs. Wimbledon) and Harry Neale-Smith (71* vs. Guildford) who both scored their first league 50s. Of the bowlers, Rob Griffin, Steve Hall and Nick Clark provided vital experience and plenty of wickets. So, in summary, it is pretty much as you were from last season. Premiership status was secured and the team has a promising platform to build on. Many thanks go to Dave F and all the other umpires, as well as Chris and Sarah for excellent teas. The 2013 season was an up and down affair for the 4th XI with inconsistent availability throughout the club taking its toll on the team at various points of the season. The mid-table finish was probably what the side deserved but there were performances during the season that showed this team has the potential to push for a higher league position next year. Standout games were at Addiscombe, where a spell of bowling from Rob Barnard (8/56) won the game after some great batting from Paul Eldridge (69) and a mature innings from Shanaal Nathan (44*). Also, at home to Merstham where, an opening stand of 153 between Sam Clarkson (128) and Dan Krayenbrink (59) led to a total of 257 which proved too many for the opposition as controlled bowling from Steve Hall (4/52) and accuracy from Robbie Quinton (3/5) saw Sutton home to victory. The end of season dead rubber against Sanderstead is also worthy of a mention. Captain Clarkson scored 117 and followed up with figures of 7 for 24 in a last-ball victory. The younger players in the side, notably Sai Patel, Shanaal Nathan, Achal Srivastav, Lekan Ogunlana and Gus Leonard, performed well throughout the season. Of the more experienced players, Dan Krayenbrink scored 274 runs at an average of 24.9 and Rob Barnard took 22 wickets at an average of 13.8. Thanks to Clive Quinton, Nathan Dhevarajah and Dennis Blake for umpiring and Simon Clarkson and Chris Clapham for scoring, not forgetting Helen for her wonderful teas.

It was a long season for the 2nd XI this year. Never has a team been so cut down by availability. The season did not get off to the best of news when 7 of last year’s squad, all of whom played over 13 matches each, said they were out for the season. The situation did not improve. In the opening weeks of the season, the side was short of batting despite taking wickets consistently. This was best seen when the team had Oxshott at 65-5 off 25 overs and they were able to rack up 290-odd before bowling Ditton out for under 200. However, mid-season the side finally had some availability and picked up points against Egham, Old Whits, Ashford, and Streatham & Marlborough. Though the availability did not improve, the team was able to take the relegation decision down to the last game of the season. The team lost, but it fought hard and it saved some of the best cricket for the end of the season. Stand out performers this year were Richie Spiler (leading run scorer and wicket taker), Chris Dixon and James Rutter. Thanks to Akash Kapoor, Amrik Natt, Warren Blumire, St John Farley and all the others who have helped over the captain’s first year in charge. Here’s to next year where the team hopes to send itself back to where it came from. The new season brought plenty of enthusiasm and the desire to succeed. Very quickly it appeared that availability was going to impact heavily on 3rd XI cricket not only at TD but with other clubs encountered, which made for an interesting and challenging season. The side lost several players to more senior teams which gave them great experience and the opportunity to compete at a higher level; they were all selected on merit. It is anticipated that they will continue to participate in more senior cricket in the future and the side

103 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports wishes them a very successful career. This gave a number of 4th XI players and colts the opportunity of improving their game and they all rose to the challenge. In what has already been identified as a challenging season, anyone who took the field in this team gave their all and shared in some magnificent achievements. Although the team finished in 11th place (the same as 2012), it played some very good cricket. The most rewarding and notable game was against Guildford City at their ground; the opposition opted to bat first and put on a magnificent display and even the most experienced bowlers were given a lesson. At 274 for 8 off of 43 overs the oppo declared. With a mammoth task ahead, the openers proceeded at a modest pace. Beyond my wildest dreams, Steve Wallace and Vasif Khan, regular first choice openers, put on almost 200 for the 1st wicket. With Jon Fairhurst 41* and Steve Wallace ending on 86*, Thames Ditton prevailed on 277 for 3 off 53 overs. Thank you to Amir and his team for the privilege of playing in such a fantastic game of cricket. It made the season and reminded everyone why they love the game. Unfortunately due to a lack of players, the 4th XI withdrew from the league after conceding eight matches and playing four.

So it proved, with an eighth-place finish probably a fair reflection of a difficult summer. However, the side showed enough positive signs to warrant its place at this level and can look forward to rebuilding next year and climbing the league. In the early matches, a comprehensive six-wicket win over Pyrford and a nail-biting victory over Cranleigh hinted at what might have been. However, a couple of costly dropped catches led to close defeats against Walton and Ashford, and the team then lost its way until the introduction of overseas player Abhishek Jhunjuhnwala, who immediately hit two successive centuries, which sparked a six-match unbeaten run in the middle of the season that ultimately ensured the side’s safety. Poor availability blighted much of the campaign, and with two of the last three games washed out the season stumbled to a disappointing close. There were, however, a number of positive performances. Matt Winter led the seam attack before injury struck in August and was well supported by Mark Roberts and Ben Ives, who showed much potential for the future. Raj Chatwal took 27 wickets with his left-arm spin, including 6-for at Walton, and with more consistency will no doubt pose more of an attacking threat next year. As usual, Mids’ batting failed to deliver with any regularity. Jhunjhunwala scored 403 runs to go with his 27 wickets, while Kunal Patel (366 runs @ 33) was the most noteworthy of the other three who scored 300+ runs, stepping up to perform consistently at this level for the first time. Will Page’s stunning hundred at Purley shows that he has the class to score big runs and will be the player to watch next summer. Well documented retention and availability issues were significantly compounded for the 2nd XI as they conducted their campaign without an elected captain. Thanks are due to Nick Bradwell, Stuart Clarke, Phil Mander, Robert Warne and James Wilson who filled the breach at various times. Ever present umpire James Gibson also deserves the thanks of the 44 players who represented the side. A paltry single victory and sole draw were perhaps scant reward for efforts that at times, although on far too few occasions, deserved greater return: high flying Leatherhead’s 29-run 10th wicket partnership in a total of 144-9 to win being a prime example. Fluctuations in personnel meant there was hardly a core of the same XI available 2 weeks in a row. Consequently, the side struggled in all departments. With the ball, only Bradwell (19) and Bob Cowlard (10) took more than 10 wickets and it is difficult to remember more than an occasional spell whereby you could assert that an end was contained. Clarke (346) and Wilson (289) both struck 3 half-centuries, the latter pleasingly stepping-up to score runs at this level for the first time. A regular captain is needed as is greater stability in selection, which means more consistent availability. Assuming off-season efforts to rectify some of these problems are successful then it is highly probable that a more competitive outfit will take the field next season. Inconsistent availability at the start and poor commitment towards the end thwarted any realistic hopes of the 3rd XI competing in Division 1. However, had Mids managed to win any of a number of close games they may have been fighting to stay up at the end of the season. The league was particularly competitive having been split into 2 for the first time. Overs cricket did not suit with the 5th and sometimes even the 4th bowler being a problem. Close finishes in limited over matches are

104 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports rare and not a format suited to this level of cricket, producing poorer games. Conversely, the timed format produced a number of thrilling finishes, the highlight being a tie against Banstead when their last man was run out going for a second run to win the game. Runaway winners Cheam were pushed all the way, whilst there were close finishes against Hampton Wick and Malden Wanderers. The one win of the season came in emphatic fashion at Wimbledonians, a target of 171 being chased down for 1 wicket in 25 overs. Hopes of this being the catalyst for a winning run were thwarted when 7 of this strong side were missing the following week. Only 4 players played over 10 games and a massive 53 played at some stage. The bowling continually let the side down with only Gary Revel-Chion, Mike Asbury and Nick Cook taking over 10 wickets. The batting was encouraging at times with scores around 200 being posted regularly until the final few games. The skipper led from the front with 442 runs; eleven 50s were scored by 7 different players. Youngsters Cameron Lagerberg and James Warburton showed promise with bat and ball; Angus Whitfield scored a first 50 at this level in the final game. Hopefully being able to compete in 2014 with more consistent availability will allow youngsters to progress in a more stable environment. It turned out to be a very difficult and tough 4th XI season as the lack of availability and unexpected absences were felt hardest lower down in the 4th XI. Finishing second from bottom in the Central Division was probably a fair result as the side threw away a handful of matches it probably should have won. For next season, the team will need to look at capitalising when in strong positions to win matches. This will be achieved with several younger players that performed consistently well throughout the season. A shaky start against Sanderstead was one of the matches in question having bowled the opposition out for 108 thanks to Ian Sutcliffe’s 6-for; a collapse saw the side all out for 75. The 4th XI picked up their first win in an exciting match against Sutton, successfully defending a target of 181. The only other wins were achieved against Woodcote Epsom and Merstham. The positives to take from the season were the performances of the younger players, including Aidan Barton, Michael Hughes, Bhavin Jethwa and Paul Morgan to name just a few. Another pleasing element was the commitment that this younger generation showed, an example that some senior players would do well to recognise. It is hoped that their enthusiasm will continue, will grow and spread to others and combine to help generate a more competitive squad for next year.

With only one change to the regular squad the side managed to get off to a flying start, winning the first four limited overs matches, all batting second and chasing scores from 120 to 290. The longer format, in which to be fair the team struggled the previous year, brought five more wins plus a winning draw. These 9 wins left the side in a very respectable 2nd place with a 21 point cushion over the rest of the division. Unfortunately, two losses and a rainy day allowed the chasing pack to close up to just a couple of points. The end of the season was to be a nail biting affair. A closely fought match with Beddington on the final day looked like going right down to the wire. Batting first the team moved from 12 for 2 to a very respectable 254 for 3. Beddington batted to their potential rather than their league position and were looking very good needing just 59 from 10 overs with 6 wickets left. The end came surprisingly quickly as the side finally wrapped the game up taking 6 wickets for 9 runs in just 3 overs. The 40 run margin does not really do justice to this exciting match. The bowling was led by Alex Mendis and Alex MacQueen, with Newbery, MacDougal and Harpley all making big contributions. Overseas Chris MacDougal topped the batting with 593 followed closely by Darren Redwood (567). These two both scored centuries on the last day to set up the winning score. Alex MacQueen (354), Ben Kingsnorth (341) and Paul Williams (350) all scored vital runs over the summer. Six promotions in 7 seasons is an amazing progression for a relatively young but very talented team of players, the majority of whom have grown up at the club. Added to this, the development of the new ground and facilities are due entirely to the collective efforts of a group of very hardworking people behind this club. Our thanks go to Steve Redwood who prepared the best pitches in the Division all summer, to John Williams for scoring and Fran Agar for preparing (officially) the very best teas. After being promoted for the third season in a row, the 2nd XI always knew that this year would be a

105 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports much bigger test with the likes of Sunbury and East Molesey in the league. The team continued its good run of form from previous seasons, by winning the first three league games which included an away win at East Molesey. The team then struggled due to club availability to put a consistent run of wins together throughout the remainder of the season. The side finished fourth in the league which was a good effort by all. Team stats for the season were: P18, W7, L6, D4 and 1 game being abandoned. Top performers with the bat for the 2nd XI this season were Justin Gray scoring 400 @ an average of 33.33 and Stuart Tomlinson scoring 394 @ 56.29. The top performers with the ball were Sam Reedman taking 25 wickets @ an average of 22.44 and Mark Tomlinson taking 20 @ 14.75. After a strong 3rd place finish last year the 3rd XI had high hopes for 2013. Unfortunately, as is often the case in lower XIs, injury and commitments higher up the club denied the team key players throughout the season. Even the skipper played all but two games in the 2nd XI. In these circumstances, that Steve Mitchell led a young side to mid-table security in the first season of a new format was a great effort and a reflection of the team spirit that was cultivated despite the disruption. The silver lining to the cloud of losing a number of players was the opportunity for the youngsters. U17 Dan Vernon continued to progress and became a key member of the 2nd XI squad. Also gaining 2nd XI experience was a pacey U16 bowler Jake Dunbar and wicket keeper Ryan Watt; whose development from the 4th XI last season saw him voted the 3rd XI player of the season. With other youths such as Ryan Adams, Jamie Chatfield and Ali Huse all contributing and surely not far from 2nd XI debuts, the envied Valley End production line driving the current 1st XI fairy-tale success shows no sign of slowing down! The senior players played their part. Ian Wordley had another renaissance year featuring in the two most memorable wins. He made 96* on the final day as promotion chasing Oxted were beaten by an incredible 10 wickets; having earlier taken 5-43 to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against Old Wimbledonians. Charlie Barkham, a 4th XI stalwart from seasons past, took his chance to cement a place in the 3rd XI by leading the team’s batting averages. Jason Coleman also played a significant hand keeping the youth in check! A 2nd XI regular for well over a decade, Jason took 11 wickets at an impressive average of 16. Playing at Windlesham Park with its ridiculously impressive pitch, access to the old VE pavilion, new kitchen and bar, the 4th XI could not really ask to have a better home. The pitch resulted in a torrent of runs on occasions, the kitchen great teas and the bar some genuine social after match entertainment. Unfortunately the on pitch results were generally not as good as the venue but in delivering its main aim of providing access to cricket with over 40 people representing the 4s this season from U13 to those who should really know better, the youth shows great future potential for the Club with the usual mix of ages proving the true Valley End spirit. The team finished disappointingly down the table and failed to fulfil 2 fixtures, something unheard of at VE and not to be repeated next season. To make amends for this, team building will start early in 2014, once the Club has brushed the snow off the synthetic pitch in the “cage”, and the side will be off to a flyer in 2014. Outstanding performances from seasoned performers Andy Monk, Wayne Gregory, Anil Chauhan, Steve Gould, Malcolm Lea and co. were ably assisted by the younger players in Ed Ames, Stuart Morgan, Ali Huse and the Barkham boys. The stand out performances, as usual, were from the fresh blood of the youth led by Jamie Chatfield, Andy Freeman, Percy Fagent, Dominic M-White, Tom Walker et all. And the Sun Shone!

The 1st XI had a really good 2013 season, finishing a solid 5th having pushed the top sides all the way and seen off the sides beneath. But for losing top players in Stu Houghton and Bilal Chohan to injury and falling agonisingly short in some close fixtures, it could have been a remarkable one. The season was a real coming of age for a number of the team who had something to prove. Sam Gorvin led the batting line up with some excellent stroke play along with Storm Green whose consecutive hundreds and 554 runs were a class above; Shaun Cox looked good for his average of 30, Paul Bainbridge scored well as ever and bowled some useful overs and skipper Matt Haddow scored some long overdue runs. The bowling was good throughout the season, Chris Williams shone as the new opening bowler working well with the consistently probing Jimmy Newell while Ben Monk emerged as a very useful off-spinner. As always Mark Bainbridge was the leading wicket taker and continues to bowl superbly, taking many weeks to concede a boundary and bowling 106 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports nine consecutive maidens in one spell; he also chipped in with valuable runs. Others also made important contributions when required; James Madoc-Jones showed some serious class, scoring a 50 on debut; both Rory and Frano Annandale showed they can cut it at first team level, while evergreen Iain Collis along with Jared De Jesus were excellent early in the season. Others still made selfless contributions to winning teams when selected. The side entered the season confident that it could compete but to have been within reaching distance of a win in 14 out of the 18 fixtures listed was a great effort and it is to be hoped the team can capitalise more on those positions next season in order to make that potential to fight for the league a reality. After the disappointment of 2012, the aim for the 2013 2nd XI season was to enjoy playing cricket again and return to winning ways. Jonny Stephens retook the reins, aiming for the right blend of youth and experience. Added to an existing plethora of young guns and solid experience were the returning Iain Turner and Jon Akhurst, as well as new faces Andrew Milnes, James Madoc-Jones and Rory Snowball. Normally when a side gains promotion you would expect to read tales of people scoring 600 runs in the season or taking 50 wickets, but the beauty of this campaign was that so many players made at least one match-winning contribution. The team’s never-say-die attitude was the reason why it gained promotion. Whether it was a tie at Woking & Horsell off the last ball or winning by one wicket at Old Ruts, matches were won as a team. The philosophy was to look to win every match and even when there were occasional defeats, the players’ resolve meant that it always bounced back the next week and won. There were outstanding individual displays throughout the year. Seamer Andy Milnes (19 @ 18) was excellent, confusing many a batsman and going at less than 3 an over throughout the season. James Madoc -Jones averaged over 50 before being promoted to the 1s. Arthur Vaughan finally beat his brother’s top score, falling just short of a hundred, while Tom Chappell stroked a classy hundred against Bank of England. There were other classy knocks from Nick Wright and Ian Turner, Alex Pindar when fit, Joe Button when available and skipper Stephens slogged a few here and there. One of the major pluses was the fielding, which was led every week by Jamie Mann. The fielding was exemplified by the home match against Woking, when 8 of the wickets were caught at keeper or first slip. Other bowling highlights included George Vaughan bowling out Woking and Iain Collis bowling out Old Wimbledonians, as well as tidy middle over performances from Hougasian, Snowball and Mann and canny spin from Stephens, Stanley, Button and Thom. Thanks go to everyone for putting in a real shift for the cause. Next year’s aim must be to ensure that the team stays in Division 1 and help ensure that the 1s and 3s can make it a full set. The season started with a lot of expectation for the 3rd XI, following the disappointment of being 'relegated' to Division 2 after the old Division 1 was split into two. The season got off to a bad start, with poor availability hitting the side hard on the first weekend of the season. However, that loss was the only blemish for a couple of months thereafter as it started a fantastic winning run. The turning point in the season was losing to East Molesey at the end of July, from a seemingly winning position. Even then, promotion was in Walton’s hands until another club was excluded from the league towards the end of the season, which distorted the table and left the side having to rely on other results. The players did all they could, playing some good cricket and winning the final matches, but unfortunately it was not meant to be and the team must play another season in Division 2. There were some very good individual and team performances throughout the season. In the batting department, the side found a very solid opening partnership in Max Saidman and Ian McAllan. Max made over 350 runs and Ian scored over 250 runs; expect to see more of the same next season. There were also good batting performances by Graham Neale when he was available. Bowling was again strong for the 3s with Cameron Allen and Jack Dominy bowling extremely well. Ed Hougasian did well with the ball too, as did the underrated Jon Greet. Ed Thom was ever reliable, when his shoulder let him. One of the other positives of this season was 15 year old Olly Davis who ended up being the leading catcher in the league with the gloves on and also scored his maiden senior fifty for the side. Onwards and hopefully, upwards next season. In its second season, the 4th XI again put its focus on youth, with the side often more than half colts. The eventual outcome of a 3rd place finish in the West Division was very pleasing. A few too many draws cost the team a shot at the title, but the courage shown by such a young side to turn countless matches in their favour was an inspiration. 11 of the 14 concluded fixtures ended with Walton in the ascendancy, with seven wins and four dominant winning draws, while the side dug deep to save the other three matches and finish the season unbeaten. Indeed, the team’s last defeat in any match came in June 2012. Adult stalwarts Chris Derham, Oli Clarke and Rob Clarkson were consistent with the bat, Derham top scoring with 222 runs. Two U15s shone all year, Will Hagger’s destructive shots at the top of the order bringing 155 runs @ 31, while George Sharpe’s compact strokeplay earned 122 runs @ 24 in a number of crucial partnerships. A vast array of youngsters from ages 13 to 18 including Joe Norton, Joe Sale, Matt Phillips, George Cates, Callum McLeod, Sid Ravishankar and Sean Derham all played important knocks when available. Toby Dabell, another U15, led the side in the field and also scored vital runs. Ever-present duo Ravi Tumuluri (35 @ 13) and Oli Clarke (22 @ 13) led the wicket taking but the finds of the season were two exciting young seamers. Paceman Cameron Allen (U15) quickly progressed to the 3rd XI, while even younger Sammy Davis (U13) was a revelation with his prodigiously accurate swing and seam, taking 9 wickets @ 18. Tommy Richards took 14 cheap wickets with his cultured left arm spin, while Rohan 107 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Wilde, Jack Bailoor and Joe Sale also provided reliable overs. A truly excellent season for the 4s, of which everyone involved can be very proud.

Warlingham 2nd XI repeated last year’s clean sweep of losses and did not even look like getting so much as a draw in the timed games. However, there was an improvement as the season progressed. Many new and young players were given the chance to play and eventually the best of these grew into a team that showed some ability and no little spirit, although they were clearly outplayed in every game. Skipper Waseem Sherwani did his best with meagre resources and scored the most runs while Ghufran Khalique took most wickets. The new nets, which will be available for the start of next season, should herald an upturn in the club’s fortunes as the team re-builds for the future.

After several seasons struggling to consistently compete in the Premier League, the 1st XI performed superbly to finish in second place, taking the title race down to the last day. With several new recruits, a fantastic overseas and a maturing core of young players, the side emerged as genuine title contenders. The batting was led by Sarel Erwee who topped the league batting stats with 974 runs @ 64.93. His run of four consecutive league hundreds broke the Surrey Championship record and was an incredible feat. Luc Durandt’s aggressive style brought him 597 runs @ 42.64 and often got the team off to a flying start. There were important contributions from Thushara Managei (284), Joel Pope (255), Adam Hose (251), Harry Cripps (248), as well as Jack Windslade, and Tom Winslade. The opening bowling attack of Henry Turner (23 @ 21.48) and Robbie Joseph (19 @ 27.21) were a constant threat and often deserved more reward than they got. Thushara Managei (23 @ 21.61) was a vital contributor and off spinners Phil Mann (20 @ 22.75) and Sarel Erwee (15 @ 31.27) bowled well throughout. There were also important spells from Tristan Caviet, Nick Kent, Tom Curran, Adam Hose, Jon Gonszor, Jack Winslade and Imran Lodhi. With a young side the fielding was excellent and a huge factor in the success. Joel Pope executed 27 dismissals, with Luc Durandt claiming 14 catches; 12 run outs highlighted the standards the side set. A disappointing opening three defeats ultimately cost the team but the potential of this side was unquestionably proven, not least by victories over champions Wimbledon both home and away. A host of superb run chases vindicated the attempt at a brand of aggressive, entertaining cricket. Many thanks to Val Gibbens, as always, for her continuing efforts with the scorebook and to Jon Molloy for all his contributions. After finishing 6th, 7th and 8th in the previous 3 years, a rejuvenated 2nd XI claimed the Premier League title in fine style in 2013. With a squad of 37 players aged between 15 and 47, the 2013 season proved to be a real team effort and highlighted the strength in depth this club possesses. A 2nd XI club record of 12 wins and just 2 defeats was a fantastic achievement. With disciplined bowling and aggressive batting, at times, it seemed the side could chase anything. The first half of the season saw the bowlers leading the way and the lower order dragging the team over the line time and again, highlighted by nerve jangling wins at Ashtead, Sutton and Guildford and at home to Reigate. The second half was dominated by the top order with brilliant run chases at title contenders Wimbledon and Malden, as well as a mammoth score of 334-9 at home to Sutton. Cameron MacDonald led the batting with 441 runs @ 49, ably supported by Jordan McKinlay (378), Tim Cross (353), Mike Arnot (342), Imran Lodi (246), Dan Mullins (232) and Phil West (198). Alongside these there were vital match winning knocks from , Oli Bennett, Rob Arthur, , Darren Livett, Tristan Caviet and Rob Taylor. The bowling, as always, was led by Tan Asghar, who topped the league bowling charts with 35 wickets. 108 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Jon Gonszor (20) and Darren Livett (12) backed him up throughout and 5 wicket hauls from Tristan Caviet and Nick Kent were highlights. There were also excellent contributions, especially in the limited over format, from Jack Barton, Mike Ferris, Imran Lodhi, Ben Rogers, Ben Curran and Dan Mullins. The fielding was, for the most part, superb with Mike Arnot claiming 18 dismissals and Tim Cross 12 catches. With a host of talented youngsters, alongside some experienced heads, this side has the potential to push on from these achievements and enjoy more success in the future. Many thanks go to John Harris for his sterling umpiring efforts and to Jo Gaydon for her magic with the scorebook. Thanks must also be extended to all those who supported the side throughout the year and made playing at the club so enjoyable. Finally, a special mention and thanks to Glynis Morrison and Jon Molloy for their fantastic work, without whom this great club would struggle to function. It was a pleasure to captain such a fantastic group of players and all should be extremely proud of this season’s achievements. For a first season back in the Premier sixth place could be considered a decent effort for the 3rd XI, but it eventually felt disappointing as a number of strong sides took the field. A mid-season run of four wins and a winning draw and then the straight forward task of chasing down 74 with 8 wickets and 18 overs in hand at Spencer should have taken the side into 4th. However, capitulation in that game seemed to take all the wind out of the sails. The final stats do not lie; of the eight wins achieved only two were gained from the nine completed games against the sides higher up the table. A fair reflection then, although it only felt as if the worthy champions were actually a stronger side. Bowling was the strength with new recruit, Masud Javaid leading the way with 22 wickets and an impressive economy rate of 2.5. Dan Unger bowled well in the games he played and Alex Tough, Ralph Day and Ben Rogers all produced pace and quality when available. Chris Smith and TMS trialist Jason Stocks supplied the spin, with decent success when they were able to exercise some control. All these guys would have had considerably better returns if the, at best average, fielding had matched their efforts and a concerted effort must be made to rectify this. The batting was solid if not spectacular and a collapse often seemed just around the corner. Highlights were hundreds from captain Andy Bell and vice Rob Taylor and nineties from Joe Griffiths and Fraser Aitken. Chris Smith had a great run of four consecutive fifties late in the season ending as top run scorer. Cameos from Toby Ashley Collins, Dan Unger, Andy Pope, Ralph Day and sailor Dave Wotherspoon bode well. This is a strong squad; with some tinkering and more belief in 2014, expect a serious challenge! As always the 4th XI evolved over the course of the season drawing from a diverse squad across nations and age groups. The finishing position of fourth accurately reflected the team's performance; not quite consistent enough for a top three, but showing promise for next season. The core of the team comprised of Paul Xiberras, Dave Curry, Pete Fraser-Brown, Andy Evans, Fraser Aitken (later to be called up to the 3rd eleven), Sheldon Cummings, Anthony Shawyer and Anthony Rourke. Valuable contributions were made by Toby Ashley-Collins with a debut hundred and a good seventy odd from young James MacDonald. Paul Xiberras was the team's stand out fielder at gully taking a host of important catches. Nick Lucena, Oli Selby, Charlie Behan and Patrick Kenney showed great promise on the bowling front and should be looking to gain promotion to more senior sides in the near future, whilst Anthony Shawyer and Anthony Rourke showed cunning and guile to winkle out many an unfortunate batsman. On the wicket keeping front Henry Lee did very well and also contributed well with the bat when he opened. Overall it was an enjoyable season and there was a good spirit within the team. This was impressive as well over 20 players took the field over the course of the season. A good balance of youth and experience helped in many ways from fielding and field position to batting tempo and general attitude. Next season promises to be a good one with a good pool of players from which to choose. The areas of improvement will be to train more regularly, especially in the fielding aspect, as a few more catches taken

would have made a difference of at least one place, if not two, in the final analysis.

This was the message written in the 1st XI changing room at the end of the 2012 season. Fast forward from the past to the present, and a new message is just as influential - ‘This team has created its own place in history’. This was a tough, competitive and close championship and it was with immense pride that the 1st XI won

109 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports its third title in three years. The depth of the squad was the primary factor in the team’s success, as this was the year when player resources were stretched to their limit across the club. Three wins out of four in the initial one day games put the team firmly near the top of the league. The seamers ran through Reigate and Sutton away, bowling both out for less than 90. Weybridge inflicted a first home defeat in two years when the side left too much to do in the last five overs. Across the league the results in the timed cricket were varied but by the time the side snuck a win away at East Moseley on an otherwise rained off day, Wimbledon were clear at the top of the league. This enabled the team to control its own destiny again in the 50 over shoot out at the end of the season. As ever Sunbury at home loomed large on the horizon but Chris Benham scored one of the best hundreds Church Road has seen and with runs on the board; the bowlers did the rest. It was now just Weybridge left to apply pressure. Going into the last match knowing a win would mean a hat trick of titles, Banstead were bowled out fairly cheaply but then Wimbledon faltered and were nine down with still 42 required. Young Ben Compton and Jack Snape incredibly won the game when they had no right. In one of the strangest ends to a season, all the players who were out knew the title was won by following the Weybridge score online but the two out in the middle had no idea, making their performance all the more remarkable. The league is the priority at Wimbledon and it always will be. However, the history making was not confined to the league. Winning the 2013 ECB National T20 Cup at the Oval meant Wimbledon became the first club to defend its National title and the side is rightly proud of this achievement. The 2013 season will live long in the memory. The 2nd XI experienced a disappointing season, losing games it should never have lost and eventually finishing runners up in the league. The classy Joe Lukens was the leading run scorer while 15 year old Tom Lace showed great promise for the future. Kristian Piolet, Nick Brothers and Hiran Marambe also contributed at various points in the season while retro wicketkeeper-batsman-retiring captain Tom Eaves played some flamboyant cameos! With the ball it was the slow(ish) bowlers Charlie Leonard, Johnno Gordon and Hiran Marambe who led the way. Thanks must go to scorers Alex Anderson and Bob Cairns and also to umpires Martin Conway and Crispin Lyden-Cowan for their dedication throughout the season. 2013 was another successful season for Wimbledon 3rd XI coming out on top of the table to do its part in another illustrious season for the club. A closer season than last year (4 weeks from the end of the season only 2 points separated the top 3 teams) the side managed to get its nose in front and held its nerve in a difficult run-in to clinch the title. Credit must go to Sunbury and Reigate Priory who pushed the team hard throughout the season. Due to erratic availability (36 players were used this season), it was hard to have a settled batting line-up, however the top of the order consistently fired, setting a great foundation for the team. Dave Wills topped the league runs chart with 510 @ 36.5 and found great support from Chris Nolan (392 @ 49) and James Reynard (268 @ 89). It was another strong season for the bowlers, with Harry Houlder (27 wickets @ 16) and Gavin Yell (25 @ 16.3) topping the team’s wicket tally. Special mention must go to the ever present David Lewis, whose umpiring put most international umpires to shame, and Jonathan Broad, the creator of the most colourful scoresheets in cricketing history. Finally, thanks go to all the players who gave up their time to help Wimbledon 3s once again become champions of Surrey. Roll on 2014… Thanks go to Dulwich and Spencer for making this year one of the most challenging years in the 4th XI Premier Division. The title for Wimbledon was all but secured with three games to spare. Only rain and Spencer (twice each) prevented the 4th XI recording a 100% record. Such a successful season was not based on stand-out individuals (no player took more than twenty wickets but seven took ten or more) but on match winning contributions from a wide range of sources, making winning the league all the more satisfying. Team spirit was strong throughout the season (despite the typically huge number of players used) and, most importantly for a 4th XI, the players enjoyed their cricket. Even Amjad Husain, the resident raconteur, was on fine form catching in the slips. Highlights were numerous, but particular instances stick in the memory: Naveen’s ‘unorthodox hitting’ at Dulwich (standing almost behind the stumps), Rufus Dennis catching everything at Guildford, Garey Howe claiming to have ‘found some rhythm’ in his 16th over, Ian Caskie and Kane Laurence both keeping lunchboxes at fine leg, Andrew Lewin trying to bounce out Sunbury and Neil Barnet’s Shrewsbury House Swansong, ‘its so slow, what do I do?’. Best of all, winning games all over Surrey. Now, do it again next year.

In the end the team survived in Division 3 and this is no less than a young and improving team deserves. The season started poorly with 5 straight loses. Confidence was gained with a draw against Bank and then a 220 run chase at Wimbledonians, led by ‘player of the season’ James Woods, gave the team a first win and a major boost. Consecutive wins against Cobham Avorians and Churt proved crucial but then Staines somehow recovered from 19 for 5 and 3rd placed Addiscombe nudged over the line with a narrow 2 wicket win chasing a low total. The following week the team arguably gave high flying Epsom their hardest test of an unbeaten campaign. A solid all round show left Epsom still requiring 50 with just 3 wickets left, but they showed they were worthy champions blasting the winning runs to leave the side very dejected. With many absences Woking turned to experience for the crucial game at Streatham, with club ‘batsman of the year’ Malcolm Eddington scoring a ‘run a ball’ 70. A superb all round bowling display then ensured a total of 250 was easily defended. The last game became a relegation decider and the hosts, Avorians, got off to a flier but a brilliant come back led by newly promoted Indi Fernando restricted the score. Woking were cruising in reply but after the inevitable collapse the 9th wicket pair of Fernando and Jack Allen heroically scrambled 21 runs to stay up. Tom Dunbar (334 runs @ 33) was the most consistent batsman and Damien Honey (25 wickets @ 17) led the bowling. Availability was awful in the 2nd half of the season but if this can improve and with maturing displays from many of the young players, next season promises much more. That old sporting cliché says the table doesn’t lie. In the end the 2nd XI’s final league position boiled down to losing key moments in games, but there is still plenty to be optimistic about. David French (31.43) returned to WHCC this year and became a key man, slowing the opposition scoring or leading the tail in pursuit of a good target, most notably with 87 at Bank of England when the team had been 11 for 3. Mark Worgan (308 runs @ 25.67) continued to lead the run scorers with another good season but indifferent middle order performances meant the side failed to capitalise to win more key games. This year the side was joined by Saul Allison and after a slow start he found form in the Purley game, scoring a solid 83. After good performances in the 3s Arun Aiyer joined the 2nds taking wickets at crucial times. Next season promises much for the younger generation; Abdul Zafar and Angus Hargan, who both demonstrated huge potential. Abdul has a golden arm and potential to make the tail wag as demonstrated at Addiscombe with a fine 58*. Angus showed promise at Worcester Park with a fine 65 and followed this up against Old Ruts with 30* in supporting Qais Nawas (61). Player of the season was Indi Fernando, playing with an outward joy for the game, always present at practice, the first to arrive at games and first to help with match day tasks. His performances earned a final round place in the 1st XI, where he took 5 wickets. In summary, the team was relegated and that is disappointing but the potential in this side is too great for this to be more than a blip. The team will have grown and learnt from this season. The spirit in the team could never be faulted and next season will see a return to better fortunes. After a successful championship winning season the 3rd XI found themselves in a competitive Division 2 in which the side would have to play good cricket, week in week out, to progress. The season started well with wins against promotion candidates Walton and Old Ruts. New recruit Mohammed Wasim bowled well with the new ball all season and took 20 wickets @ 15.5 to compliment his more experienced partner Mandar Khedekar (28 wickets @ 16.8). The bowling attack was in full flow with excellent all round contributions from Arun Aiyer, Stephen Jones and Matt Allan among others. The batting was expertly held together early season through important knocks by Malcolm Eddington (38.83) and Nick Tune (30.9) with others chipping in. The season took a turn for the worse at the half way point with disappointing losses to eventual winners East Molesey and Normandy, but there were plenty of spirited performances in the later season. Jonny Ayling had a pleasing summer taking 2 five wicket hauls and proving that he can be a big part of the team in the future. There were also good contributions by Qasim Asghar, Tom Harlow and the ever present Peter Grafton. One man stood out this season, Vaibhav Bhade finished as the league’s top scorer. 111 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports Bhade scored consecutive tons and finished 2 runs shy of 500 in the league, no mean feat. Overall a respectable fourth for the 3rd XI; the first year of limited overs cricket and promising young players gaining experience there is every reason to be optimistic in the future. Thanks to the opposition for a fantastic year’s cricket played in the right spirit and to the tea ladies who always provided a fantastic spread. Last but not least thanks to Ken Rapley and James Williams for their hard work behind the scenes with ground keeping and admin – very much appreciated. In the 4th XI’s third year in the Premiership the side achieved its highest finish of 5th. As in previous years the team started well, fell away in mid-summer and then came back strongly with two good wins against Normandy and Epsom to finish comfortably on 77 points. There were a number of close matches, most noticeably the tie at Sunbury where a fantastic 60 from Jack Mathews came so close to winning a match after being 97 for 8 chasing 186. Another highlight was a great team effort where the side scored 282 in 45 overs and then Tom Sharpless and Shahid Khan bagged 4 wickets apiece to beat Epsom by 202 runs. On the batting front; Sagar Nayyar (284 runs @ 20.3) top scored with other contributions coming from Stephen Wernberg (250 @ 19.3) and Tom Sharpless (21 @ 19.2) plus vital innings from Khayam Ali, Richard Thompson, Jamie McMahon and others. Imran Tehal and Tom Sharpless were leading wicket takers with 19 each plus Peter Smith and Sheri Khan not far behind taking 16 wickets. Other bowlers made excellent contributions. Sagar Nayyar excelled as wicketkeeper with 16 catches and 5 stumpings. A highlight was his 7 dismissals against Epsom in a huge victory. Stephen Wernberg weighed in with 10 catches and overall the fielding was much better than in previous years. Tom Sharpless (U17) was player of the year; he was joint leading wicket taker, made many valuable batting contributions, was third highest run scorer and took some fantastic catches. Tom also won the WHCC Young Player of the year award in recognition of his consistent performances with both bat and ball throughout the season. A big thank you goes to all the players and supporters for another enjoyable season. Thank you also to Ken Rapley for all his hard work in preparing the ground at Westfield and to cricket Chairman James Williams for all his support.

The club introduced the new 5th XI, known as Woodcote Epsom, to the 4th XI league. This was taken on by former 4th XI vice-captain Majid Azam who ably supported Mark Honess’ 4th XI side that was promoted in 2012. The 5th XI was a mixture of former 4th XI players and upcoming colts who wanted to get involved in adult cricket. This was a learning curve for the skipper as previously the team only played friendlies. New faces, comprised of Lewis Higgs, Paul Dolan and Harrison Williams, supported their skipper in the field in this new project for the club, but the real bonus was the introduction of new colts: Joe Scrivens, Kieran Page, Callum Birtwell-Jones (now left for sunny ) and Jake Bird who added real quality to the side and who will give the future of the club a real buzz. Others who have contributed to the side are Runu Muraleedharan who played nearly every game, also Peter Scrivens, Rachel Sunderland and many others who have contributed and made this project work. Also a very big thanks to Tony Edwards for assisting in recruiting players, Paul Dolan in umpiring at the start of the season, David Page in umpiring the second half of the season, Kristine Shepherd in preparing teas when the club decided on a change and she adapted perfectly!! Special mention and thanks go to the late Mike Taylor who helped start the 5th XI back in 2012 when the 5s were just a friendly side. WOODMANSTERNE www.woodsports.co.uk

2013 was a disappointing year in terms of results for the 2nd XI which ultimately ended with Woodmansterne finishing second bottom in Division 5 of the 2nd XI league and being relegated back to the Fuller’s league after 3 years in the Surrey Championship. The club has struggled with availability (only 5 players played over 10 games in the 2s) and thank you to everyone that has been committed and flexible over the season as sides were juggled. Pete Aldous led the way with 322 runs @ 26.86 and 10 wickets @ 44.8. The other notable performer was Neil Patel (106 runs @ 35.33 and 5 wickets @ 26.2). The team looks forward to fighting its way back.

A fourth place finish offered fair reflection of a solid, if unspectacular, 1st XI season. An opening day victory over Cranleigh should have given the perfect platform; instead the next 3 games were lost. The last of those defeats, off the final ball in a brilliantly paced run chase by Esher, meant promotion hopes were all but gone by the first day of June. However, now at full strength the team would only lose one more game all season, crucially again at Esher. The majority of the time games were dominated, although four consecutive winning draws in mid-season halted any possible charge. It took until the end of the season to gather momentum, all the final five games ending in victory, but the relentless performance of the top clubs meant they could not be caught. The batting fired consistently for the first time in a few seasons. It was led by oversees pro Sandeep Ganguly who, batting at his own pace, just went on and on; 652 runs @ 59 was a huge effort. Rob Hill returned to somewhere near his best in scoring 482 @ 48, including the team’s only century of the season away at Ashford. Joe Hill started strongly with four 50s in the first 7 games, but faded after for 416 @ 32. The bowling was dominated by two newcomers. Left arm spinner Grant Helm led the wickets with 28, and always contributed in victories. Scott Payton, arriving via Southern Railway & Kenley, took 19 wickets in limited appearances and also produced the finest all round performance of the season in scoring 64 and taking 4-35 in the final day victory over Walton. Eight bowlers reached double figures in what was a well varied attack, although the seamers will be looking to make a greater impact in 2014. Thanks to Barry and Adrian for producing an excellent wicket and Alan for scoring. The 2013 season was an improvement on the previous year for the 2nd XI and despite the top three sides rightly occupying those positions for the vast majority of the season, the feeling was that a consistent run of results would put promotion within reach. To therefore need one more win from the last two fixtures to guarantee survival was a disappointment. The three disciplines were rarely seen in form together and this inconsistency was telling. Points were gained against the top three, Spencer, Walton and Addiscombe, but four losses were recorded against Old Wimbledonians and Old Rutlishians. The batting was led by the talented Scott Kent who amassed 404 runs incuding a brilliant 122* vs. champions Spencer. Dom Fell recorded a season’s best 326 and Ben Davies, Travis Scott, Ian Burrows, Mark Turner and Dyan Sellayah all scored well. In total 12 players scored fifties for the team. The bowling was led by two experienced players, Chris Turner, released from First XI appearances, claiming 28 wickets and Dom Fell with 25. John Drake was always consistent for his 13 wickets but the surprise package was 15 year old Rayan Hafeal who captured 17 wickets included a maiden 5-for vs. Woking with his off-spin. Adam Powers with 9 and James Harrison with 8 wickets in his 3 games impressed and another youngster Tom Donegan showed real promise. Regularly fielding 6 players under 21, the potential is there for a challenge for honours in 2014. A very successful season for the 3rd XI winning Division 3, which ended up very tight but did not reflect a dominating performance from the side this season! Losing only one game away, at Kempton in testing conditions, the team regularly had strong performances, arriving back at Green Lane by 5pm most weeks. The start of the season saw Park take an early lead at the top of the table and they were never dismounted, winning 10 out of 13 games, with a notable win coming against Esher off the final ball in monsoon like conditions (credit to Esher for their positive attitude in playing on). Towards the end of the season it got a little bit closer as the first defeat, and bad weather, saw a stutter but the side managed to hold on with a comfortable victory over Chipstead on the final day to be crowned champions! Jonathan Mayhew led a talented batting line up scoring 326 runs @ 40. He was well supported by Stuart Bradshaw 284 runs @ 47 and Ricky Geale 255 @ 36. A young bowling attack performed well all season with spinner Tom Cronk being the leading wicket taker with 30 wickets. He was supported by the experienced Dave Daniell (20), Stewart Powers (19) and Matt Saunders (17). The aim for next season will be back to back promotions as this talented team has been playing well below their level for far too long. A big thank you must go to Adrian Barratt for all his help, both on matchday and during the week, and to Stuart Bradshaw, who stood in as captain at short notice and did an admirable job in leading the side to the championship. WPCC 4th XI had a most enjoyable but not outstanding season, finishing in the bottom half of the Division East table. The main task for the season was to provide the 3rd XI with a reasonable pool of

113 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports reserves in their push for promotion. In that, the side was extremely successful. For most of the season the numbers were tight and there was a noticeable lack of quality batsmen. Although several of the players had a good pedigree, they played so infrequently and did not net so that they only began to show their true potential as the season drew to a close. Apart from the captain only three of the players played in over 7 matches. The leading batsman with 210 runs was Ravi Deva at an average of 21. Andrew Botting was the only player to score a century before he disappeared upwards. The leading bowler was Chaminda Hewage with 13 wickets @ 11.46. New boy Paul Wearmouth was the only other bowler to take over 10 wickets. Dave King kept wicket immaculately, when work did not impede. Three or four youngsters, such as Steven Roberts, Harry King and Matt Browne, acquitted themselves well with bat and ball when not on duty with the 3rd XI. For a club with such a small pool of players it is often difficult to turn out 4 sides but the team only failed once to honour its fixture. An earlier start time next year could make it rather more difficult for players who work on Saturday mornings to play. The team therefore has to pray that there will be an influx of new players over the winter if it is still going to be able to turn out a competitive side.

OBITUARIES (Continued from page 119)

Michael Webb 1950 – 2014 It will come as a great shock to the local cricketing community to learn of the sudden death on 2nd March of Michael Webb, one of it’s best known and best loved characters. Michael was a delightful individual, an entertaining companion and a true cricket enthusiast. Prevented by haemophilia from playing the game he loved, he did the next best thing and became a scorer. And, unlike the vast majority of those involved in the game, Michael could surely claim to be amongst the very best in his chosen metier. His father, John, a talented batsman/wicket-keeper, first took Michael along to score for his club side, Warlingham, when he was just ten years old and for most of the next 53 seasons he continued to perform that task with great diligence, as well as later becoming the club’s official statistician and press officer. In later years he also frequently scored for both the Surrey over-50 and Surrey over-60 sides and the MCC. Invariably neat and accurate, his scoresheets were a mine of information. Always an innovator, he was one of the first club scorers to record the number of balls faced by each batsmen and even devised a system to show which bowler was responsible for each . In recent years he embraced a computerised scoring system in tandem with the traditional scorebook. He also did much work on the Warlingham and Surrey over 50s and over 60s websites. Michael was always much more than just a scorer though. His quick wit and impish sense of fun combined with his constant good humour made him a hugely popular figure wherever he went, with many friends throughout the club cricket community. He was also a devoted family man and will be much missed by his wife, mother, sisters, children and grandchildren.

Brian Ray 1940 – 2014 Brian Ray, a resolute opening batsman for Mitcham in the ’70s and ’80s, passed away on 26 February. Born in Sunderland, his team mates assumed he was from Yorkshire as he was a great supporter of Yorkshire CCC and Geoffrey Boycott. He moved to Scotland and made excellent progress as a cricketer making a name for himself with consistent displays for the West of Scotland CC. This brought him to the attention of the selectors and he was called up by Scotland for the twelve to play against New Zealand in 1969; disappointingly he was 12th man. At 30, a career move saw Brian coming south and making his debut in the Surrey Championship for Beddington. His form meant he was selected to represent the league against the champions Mitcham; he top scored with 82 against their full attack and was so impressed by their competitive approach, professionalism and team ethic (his words) that he joined the club in 1971. After four games in the 2nd eleven he was promoted to the premier side and proved to be an extremely consistent performer for nine years in two separate spells. He was proud to have been part of two Championship winning sides in 1971 and 1973 and formed a very successful opening combination with the stylish Peter Johnson. Among their highlights were two stands of over two hundred, both away at Sunbury; the first, 206 in 1972 with each scoring a hundred, the second was an undefeated 236 in 1981, Ray 135*. Each of these partnerships set league records at the time. In a long career Brian played for a variety of clubs. Brian often recalled that the years he spent in Mitcham colours were the most enjoyable and satisfying and remained uppermost in his mind.

Club Profile No. 42 LEATHERHEAD CRICKET CLUB by Matt Joblin Leatherhead is part of a rich history of cricket, with the earliest records dating back to 1730 and a reported fixture against Dorking Cricket Club. This fixture still exists today as the traditional curtain raiser at the beginning of a new season. The club is particularly fortunate to have preserved original scorebooks as far back as 1892 and an unbroken sequence of minute books from 1906 through to 1972. It has always been widely accepted that cricketing activity has been identified within the area from as early as 1730, but confirmation was not identified until recently that Leatherhead Cricket Club was actually officially formed in 1850. The first recorded match took place on Saturday 20th of July, 1850, against Ripley and was the first official loss for the club as Ripley completed a 3 wicket victory. In 1865 the club became 'Leatherhead United CC' and therefore merged the existing 'village' and 'amateur' teams. It was a big year for the club, with Leatherhead United CC moving to a new ground on the site later to become the London Transport bus station, adjoining the railway embankment. The club currently has residence at Fetcham Grove, where they moved to in 1875. Between the years 1865 and 1880 there were approximately 8 matches a year and regulars in the fixture list were Ripley, Ockley, Shalford, Guildford and Dorking. 1881 was a significant year in the club’s history as the 'United' was dropped, with the club seeking expansion from local residents and new members from further afield. More members created more fixtures and there were now approximately 30 matches in a season, although the expansion was met with mixed feelings, with some records documenting that the club had 'lost some of its local character'. ‘Cricket Week’ became a long standing fixture and the earliest records are from 1882 with all games being fully covered in national press reports from 'Cricket; A weekly record of the game'. As so many other clubs have found in the modern era, cricket week soon became too much of a burden to continue for a variety of reasons and it was decided in 2004 that the club would not continue this fashion with the majority of the membership favouring a commitment to competitive cricket - a trend which has not just seen the end of cricket weeks, but has also affected participation with Sunday cricket in more recent years. The 1890s saw further expansion in membership numbers and an impressive fixture list which now boasted Eton Ramblers, Old Wykehamists and the MCC & Ground. It also saw a record breaking effort in a fixture against Wimbledon where Leatherhead were bowled out for just 16, still the lowest score on Wimbledon’s ground. It was a record that was narrowly avoided in 2010 when the club’s 1st XI was bowled out for 19 in a league fixture against Farnham. Cricket seemed to thrive in the area at the turn of the century with, on occasions, no fewer than 6 Leatherhead sides playing. In 1905 a The imposing Frank Sturt significant ground redevelopment took place with local firm Buchanan & a prominent opening bowler around Curwen installing an electrical supply to the club house for the princely the end of the nineteenth century. sum of £2.50 - a small amount compared to the club’s current ambition to redevelop the changing rooms! As with the majority of recreational activities, the club suspended activities during the War years, with a brief 're-form' in between WW1 and WW2 under a new name 'Leatherhead & District Cricket Club'. In the club’s detailed history, the first mention of a junior section was in 1924 when Leatherhead & District ran a 'boys team'. The inclusion, promotion and engagement of younger cricketers has been championed by the club throughout its history and it has played an imperative part in the club’s recent success. It wasn't until October 1945, after the war, that cricket would be properly reinstated in the area. In 1949 the club’s committee unanimously voted against the introduction of any form of competitive cricket in Surrey, however this would change in the future. 1956 saw a Jim Laker XI play at Fetcham Grove as part of the legendary bowler’s benefit year and by mid afternoon there was a crowd of over 3,000 people. Although losing the game, Leatherhead gave a good account of themselves against a star studded team, but more importantly managed to raise over £350 for the benefit fund and this was the beginning of a strong relationship with the County which is still intact today. The 1970s will be best remembered for a very strong 1st XI, twice being beaten in the Decca Cup final (Surrey knockout competition) and led by John Waterman who later went on to play minor counties cricket for Wiltshire. A strong social scene has always been at the forefront of the club’s ethos and in 1982 the club went on tour to Devon. This was to become a famous event in the club’s calendar and remained a permanent fixture until 2006. Amidst the regular Devon tours, the club has a recent history of touring abroad. This started with a tour to Australia in 1999 when a mixed side unfortunately did not manage to win a game. 2003 saw the club tour the Caribbean Island of Barbados and this registered the club’s first ever 116 Section 4 – Extras international victory;, winning 2 of their 6 fixtures whilst also doing their upmost to drink the Island dry during their 2 week stay! Spain in 2005 was the last time the club toured abroad, again returning home without a victory to their name but a fantastic time had by all. In 1987 the club’s committee embarked on an enormous fundraising drive, with an attempt to raise enough funds to add a two storey changing facility to the original clubhouse structure. The main fundraising Leatherhead 1928 effort was a match against the AE Pattenden, JS Stevens, F Smith (scorer), H Turner (groundsman), H Burch, J Lord’s Taverners and the day Jeal, H Teasdale, J Tidy L Evans, J Richardson, MK Franks, HS Wrinch, F Smith was undoubtedly a great success RF Jackson, LN Robertson with the club making in excess of £12,000. The changing facilities are still in place today, with plans to improve them in the forthcoming years. A structured colts section was implemented in the mid 1980s, as with many clubs in Surrey, and this has been fundamental to the club’s successes. Derek Baker was instrumental in its growth, which at the time, boasted around 110 colts members. Today, the number is around the 160 mark and the section continues to thrive and generate a number of highly skilled senior players. With the club regularly fielding a well run Sunday team and a Surrey Trust League team, colts today have an exceptional platform to go on and progress into senior cricket. The start of the millennium initiated a period of sustained success at the club across all senior sides. The feat will undoubtedly go down as the club’s most successful period in its elaborate history. Built around a core of young players who had come up through the clubs youth system, the run began in 2004 when the 1st XI won promotion from the Fullers League. Successive promotions followed and in 2013 when the 1st XI won the Surrey Championship Division 1, this meant 6 promotions in 9 years and only the second club ever to move from the Fullers League to the Premier League. During the same period of time, the 2nd XI moved from the Fullers League to the Surrey Championship Division 1 and the 3rd XI won promotion to the Surrey Championship Premier Division before unfortunately being relegated and now lies in Division 2. A number of individuals (both on and off the field) have been instrumental during this period, far too many to name in this brief summary of the club’s history. It is far more important to note that the success has been built around nurturing home grown talent, engaging players within the whole club and not simply the specific team they play in, some influential sponsors (namely The Big Bus Company and Keith Michaels PLC) and a friendly, family atmosphere which welcomes people through its doors. The future for the club looks strong with colts numbers at a record high in 2013 and all three senior sides in strong leagues. The continuation of the Sunday friendly team and the environment that they have created is a testament to the club staying true to cricket’s traditions in an era when friendly cricket seems to be dying a death. 2014 will see the club’s first ever outing in the Premier League, the committee embarking on an enormous fundraising drive to build more modern changing 1983 Devon Tour rooms and the club welcomes A Mawdsley, M Abbot, C Huggins, A Castle, D Dodds, R Johnson back the summer tour with a first G Joblin, R Booker, D Watney, P McCullough, R Cripps ever tour to Somerset.

OBITUARIES John Lane 1947 – 2013 John "Lois, Grumpy Groundo" Lane sadly passed away on the 1st March 2013 after a brave battle against cancer. John was a member of Avorians CC for 55 years with brief spells at Ockham CC and B.A.C. John followed his grandfather Ernie Snr, father Ernie, uncles Harold and Cliff and cousin Malcolm as a proud Avorian member, and was followed by his son Daniel and in the future, grandson Ethan will become the 5th generation to follow on the Lane's proud association with the club. John started his playing career as a fast/medium bowler and dogged middle/ higher order batsman taking hundreds of wickets with his away swing and scoring numerous 100s and 50s; playing alongside Bob Willis MBE, Geoff Howarth and Graeme Labrooy, as well as club stalwarts Peter Smith, Tony Longman and Brian Gathercole and representing the league at different levels during his playing days. One of John's memorable days was when New Zealand brought a full touring XI to Convent Lane to play an Avorians Invitational XI and John took the notable scalp of the Kiwi captain, Martin Crowe. In the later part of his playing career, John successfully captained Avorians 2nd XI for several years, whilst slowly dropping down the order in search of yet another "red asterix". Another of John's passions saw him take over as groundsman in the 1990's, overseeing the rise of the 1st XI into the Premier Division of the Surrey Championship in 2003. John continued to spend every spare minute maturing and nurturing the ground receiving compliments from players and spectators for his outstanding work. Giving up was something John never did lightly but after two operations on his damaged shoulders he had no option. This gave him time to concentrate on another passion having qualified as a panel umpire for the Surrey Championship. John will be a sadly missed character at Cobham Avorians CC and around the Surrey Championship. An annual memorial match between a John Lane XI and an Avorians select XI will be held each September at Convent Lane in support of cancer charities (see www.avorianscc.co.uk for details). Please come along to show your support and meet old friends. Carol and Daniel thank everyone for their kind messages and support since John's passing.

Bruce Macdonald 1953 – 2013 Bruce started playing club cricket in 1968 aged 15, and was immediately identified as one of the most promising youngsters at Sunbury for years. To see him then, small and wearing framed glasses, he did not look a high quality cricketer in the making but appearances can be deceptive. Bruce had been well coached at the Alf Gover cricket school, had a good batting technique and a wide range of shots which would stand him in good stead for 1st XI cricket. 1000 runs scored in his second full season in the team proved the point. His fielding, however, was the source of frustration to Sunbury bowlers over the years! He opened the batting with Les Wood for more than 12 seasons, two left handers with contrasting styles. In 1974, in the National KO Final at Lords, the first ball Bruce received, bowled by a former Kent county cricketer, was dispatched past extra cover for 4 and in no time he had scored 24 to set Sunbury on the way to victory. This typified Bruce – sometimes a bit too cavalier but a real batting talent and an opposition nightmare when playing well. In the 1970s he played for Surrey 2nd X1, helped with coaching Sunbury colts, and in 1978 scored a club and 1st X1 record of 1530 runs in the season, which stood for many years. He played for Sunbury for more than 40 seasons, some 25 in the 1st X1, and more than 22000 of his 31000 runs were for the 1st X1 - a fantastic achievement. Bruce worked as a groundsman, including several years at Sunbury; his whole life was sport- related with hockey, and, later, hockey umpiring at a high level, being his winter activities. He played the game the right way, respected the traditions and spirit of the game and was a true ‘Clubman’. Unfortunately he was too ill to be at the Club’s 75th anniversary in October to be presented

Neville Marshall 1937 – 2013 It was with pride that Hampton Wick Royal Cricket Club woke up to the sight of Neville Marshall, in umpiring garb, festooned across the Oval gasometer for the 5th Ashes Test last year. There was no mistaking him, approximately 20 feet tall and unmistakably Neville! Somehow it was a fitting tribute to Neville, who died in May 2013, that he gazed down on a Test for five days and that his image was there to imbue the essence of fair play. Because, as the memorial service and the celebration afterwards showed, that summed him up to a T. Neville was one of those ‘once in a generation’ people that transform the cricket clubs they are part of. Not necessarily the heart and soul of the place, nor the charismatic leader, but they make sure the thing ticks. There is beer in the pipes, a wicket cut, fixtures to play and new folk rolling up. Nev was the Wick man of his generation from 1970 until the 2000s when his declining health told him it was time to hang up his umpire’s coat. Neville was born in Hull in 1937. He attended Kingston High School in Hull, excelling in cricket and football. His first job was as a Railway Clerk, the beginning of a lifelong addiction to cricket was through the Railway Clerks cricket team. He emigrated to Australia in the 1960s on the £10 assisted fare scheme and when he returned made his home in Twickenham and his second home with Hampton Wick Royal. Neville was diagnosed with diabetes in his 50s and had several illnesses and operations, including a heart by-pass, but until a decade ago was the lynchpin of the club. Neville’s passion was cricket, but he had other interests; rugby, jazz, country and western and classical music. He was described at his funeral by his closest friend as “the kindest and best friend I could ever have wished for – he spent his life helping other people but never bothering to care for himself”. Neville passed away two weeks before The Wick celebrated their 150th anniversary. Little did we know that later in the season his face would be prominent in front of thousands of cricket lovers at The Oval and millions more on TV.

Mike Taylor 1941 – 2013 Sport was a big part of Mike’s life, when he was very young he used to go with his family to watch Culvers Sports play cricket. As Mike grew up he began to play cricket and football for the club. Mike played representative football and cricket at county level and for several clubs. Cricket took him eventually to Epsom where he captained championship winning sides in 2nd and 3rd XIs. During his time with all these clubs, Mike realised that there was always more to be done than just turning up and playing each week, and always volunteered for roles like secretary, treasurer, or club representative at league meetings. Mike’s motto was ‘if you are going to do something do it right or don’t bother’. During his days playing football Mike was the type of forward defenders loved playing against because more often than not he was a gent. The only thing that concerned him was trying to score. He was never interested in the physical side of taking a piece of the defender, he had ‘a game over, have a beer, all friends’ attitude. When he packed up playing football he decided, having taken abuse from one of the dads on the side line during a game of kids’ football that he was refereeing purely to help out, that he would go on the course and become a qualified ref. Not only did he do this but he also became secretary of the local referees association; a job he ended up doing for 15 years. Mike had a brief sabbatical from sport when work took him and Maureen to Belgium for 2 and a half years. However, on his return, it was not long before he got the phone call, “fancy a game of cricket?” Within a couple of weeks he was back in the fold and playing for Epsom, a club he served admirably for 20 years as captain, secretary, social and fixture secretary, board rep, and colts head coach. Mike loved being involved, at times some may say too involved, but his contribution to this life and everyone who knew him was immense; all who met him were privileged to have known him.
