2 Section 1 – Important Information SPONSOR’S MESSAGE - Q&A WITH THEO

Theo Paphitis answers some questions... Why have Ryman decided to get involved in cricket? Ryman have sponsored the Ryman Football League – the old Isthmian League – for 100,000 years now I think! That has been really successful and I stand to be corrected but I think this has been one of the longest sponsorships in UK Sport. We’ve been very supportive of that League and have done well from it and it’s a natural progression to move into cricket – especially in Surrey and areas of South London which are very much part of our core base geographically. What do Ryman gain from sponsoring the Championship? Well brand awareness is the one that immediately comes to mind but business to business custom is important for us as well. It’s not just a question of us giving money for the sake of it – we expect a little business back! Are the clubs that play in the Surrey Championship a good demographic for you? Absolutely. They’re not a million miles from football clubs in the Ryman League. It’s not just the point of brand awareness though, as I said, they really help drive business to our local shops. How much cricket do you get to see? Sadly I actually get to see very little these days. I do like the game – particularly limited overs. I used to be a great Test Match fan when I was a kid because that’s what my brother and I used to spend our summers doing - fishing and listening to cricket on the radio! Theo was Chairman of Millwall FC for eight years, taking the club out of administration, into the Championship (to the FA Cup Final opposite Manchester United) and into Europe. He’s revived the fortunes of such notable retail brands as La Senza, Contessa Lingerie, Ryman, Partners the Stationers and Stationery Box. He sold his interest in the La Senza UK and Contessa in 2006. In 2008, he combined the stationery businesses to form a new chain, Ryman the Stationer where he is now Chairman. The company sponsors the Isthmian football league, called the Ryman Football League, and our own Surrey Championship. He also owns Red Letter Days with fellow Dragon, Peter Jones, which he salvaged out of administration, and is an investor in Smarta, the business support and advice network for small business owners and entrepreneurs. Theo launched the highly innovative new lingerie and nightwear brand, Boux Avenue in spring 2011. There are 17 UK stores, three international ones and an interactive website (www.bouxavenue.com). The company continues to expand rapidly. In July 2012, the 96-store homewares specialist chain, Robert Dyas joined Theo's retail portfolio. This means that across Ryman, Boux Avenue and Robert Dyas, the combined group comprises 349 stores and 3,600 employees who serve over 28 million customers a year. 3 Section 1 – Important Information

5 Section 1 – Important Information Surrey Championship Umpires’ Panel The Umpires Panel of The Championship goes from strength to strength, with a considerable increase in the matches officiated and new umpires coming on stream. 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. Last season, the Umpires Panel almost managed to meet its target of providing two qualified and independently appointed umpires for every 1st XI match from Premier Division to Division 4, having previously gone down only to Division 3. We continue to see a steady flow of umpires wishing to join the Panel each season, and this is vital as the Panel is also seeing a rise in retirements, particularly from our most experienced Premier umpires. 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 If every club were to have a target of getting one of their members each season to attend the Level 1 Umpiring Course, pass the associated exam and stand for one of their club’s teams, 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. Despite the very wet summer in 2012, the use of Duckworth-Lewis in interrupted limited overs matches was rare. The lessons learned where it was applied, were that it is very straightforward, provided that the scorers have been trained in its use and that they have access to the software and a computer and printer at the ground. In addition some thought needs to be given as to where on the scoreboard the running D-L par score can be displayed. We are developing a new Umpires Panel Strategy to address the key challenges we all face, and we will be communicating this during the year, for all clubs to further contribute to.

Jack Prosser – An appreciation from the Executive Committee. Jack joined the Executive Committee in 1987 taking over as Editor from Graham Brown. In his time as Editor he produced 26 Year Books and worked hard ensuring that it continued to be a publication of which we can be proud and was the envy of many a League. His task was not easy as he had no technology to help him. Jack’s long knowledge and association with the Surrey Championship both as a player and administrator meant that he was able to bring this to bear on many a discussion at Executive Committee meetings and his input was invaluable. Jack Prosser completed the 2012 Year Book and then stood down as Editor. The Executive and the clubs owe him a big thank you for all of his work and he has left a lasting legacy of which he can be proud. We therefore take this opportunity to officially thank Jack for all of his work and input. At the 2013 AGM a unanimous vote of thanks to Jack was approved in recognition of his long service and hard work for The Championship.

8 Section 1 – Important Information CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Crispin Lyden-Cowan. Chairman of The Surrey Championship. This year book is dedicated to the memory of David Edwards who sadly passed away during the winter. David was The Surrey Championship and cricket was his life. Our League is a sadder place without him. I ask everyone to remember him as we take the field this year and smile that we brought him so much pleasure, and he brought us moments of calm on a Saturday afternoon, in our hectic lives It’s been a year now, since I was elected and what a year! We are the proud League that boasts a National Champion – congratulations to Wimbledon for winning the ECB T20 title under the floodlights at Edgbaston, the first Surrey Club to achieve this. We also had the wettest year ever, and we have radically challenged the status quo; the executive is continuing to re-shape itself for the modern challenges that present themselves. My personal thanks go to Jack Prosser who has tirelessly undertaken such valiant service for us as Editor since 1987. My personal thanks also go to Graham Bullock and Paul Barford, who are standing down from the Executive this year. I would like to pass on my appreciation to all the Executive members, not least the ubiquitous and hardest worker of all, Virginia Edwards. All members of the Executive undertake a huge amount of work behind the scenes, all sitting on various committees dealing with the mundane, but essential workings of our league. This year has seen the inauguration of the new Cricket Committee, chaired by Olly Roland-Jones. We will be hearing more and more from Olly and his cricketers, as they influence the governance of our league. Please support them with ideas for improvements both on and off the field. As you will have seen we have radically improved both our Year Book and a series of new Rules and Playing Conditions Books. These have been designed to make it easy for all of us to reference the Rules and Playing Conditions, when required. If you have any further ideas on how we can improve the format of these publications, please let me know. Quite perversely, the printing of the new Year book and the new Rules books have saved ourselves a considerable amount in printing costs, and my thanks go to our editor, Chris Evans for such success in his first of many years in post. We are also, shortly introducing a new website, modelled on the Pitchero system. We have reviewed many League web sites, obtained a substantial number of quotes and specifications, and sought references from a variety of sources. We came down in favour of Pitchero because they offer flexibility, evolution, club linkage and are of a size that gives us confidence. Whilst the new web site will offer everything we currently require, it will evolve over time, giving us opportunities for more electronic submissions in a lot of respects (reports, information sheets, results etc). If you have any ideas to help us evolve the site please drop me a note. I will take this opportunity to ask clubs to carefully consider the use of technology, as it can sometimes catch us unawares. Putting comments on Facebook, Twitter, Play-Cricket can sometimes be mis-read or taken in the wrong spirit. I wish all clubs the very best of luck for 2013, a dry season and some cracking cricket.

The team immediately impressed, defeating Cuckney of the Nottinghamshire Premier League by six wickets in the semi- final. Batting first, Wimbledon notched up 161 for 4 with Graham Grace scoring 68 and Gerry Penford 61 before Cuckney could only make 144 all out, with Seb Franke-Matthecka taking an excellent 4 for 19 as the south-west Londoners won by 17 runs. This gave Wimbledon the right to play Northern CC in the final, which turned out to be a far less competitive game. After winning the toss and batting, Northern lost wickets throughout the game, only three players making double figures. Wimbledon shared the wickets around with three for Darren Hooey, two for Will Leith, two for Neil Turk and one for Andrew Loubser as Northern were dismissed in just 19.1 overs for only 90 runs. Wimbledon wasted little time chasing the runs down, Turk once again leading from the front as he opened the batting and scored 30 before Graham Grace replicated his superb form from the first match, anchoring the response with 32*. Chairman of Wimbledon CC, Simon Robins, said: “This tops off our League winning season superbly and makes for a vintage year. I am deeply proud of Neil and the whole team who have played through many rounds to get us here. Crispin Lyden-Cowan, Chairman of the Ryman Surrey Championship, added: “The Ryman Surrey Championship would like to congratulate Wimbledon CC for carrying the county flag all the way. “The current Wimbledon side must go down as one the greatest sides to have played in Surrey and we on the Executive are hugely proud of them.” Wimbledon also won the Ryman Surrey Championship Premier Division for the second consecutive year.

Surrey Senior Cricketers Association Would you like to play County Cricket? Are you 49 years or older? Are you a keen cricketer still playing regular club cricket? Are you still fit(ish)? Would you like to play cricket the way it used to be played and socialise with the opposition after a game? Providing you can answer “yes” to some of these questions, we have just the answer for you. Why not join the growing trend of mature cricketers and take up competitive Over 50s cricket and represent your County? You will be playing with players of your own age, similar ability and like mobility. There will be no hostile fast bowling and sledging is unheard of.

Requirements of Clubs regarding Grounds and Facilities Clubs are required to advise: The Secretary of any proposed merger with another club. The Grounds & Facilities Sub-Committee of: Any plans to build a new, or upgrade, current Club House and changing rooms. This should be undertaken at the start of any considerations. Nothing should be undertaken or committed to, until the Grounds & Facilities Sub-Committee have been consulted and have approved the plans. Change of ground. Providing details of why the change is being made, where the new ground will be and include details of the facilities. No agreement must be signed with other clubs for shared use of the ground until the Grounds & Facilities Sub- Committee has been advised of the proposals and the effect this change would have on all XIs of the Surrey Championship club. 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. Editor

The club made the decision to invest in the youth at their disposal rather than an overseas player with six members sent for specialist coaching to develop their skills. The team lost pivotal all rounder Richard Johnson, who emigrated to Australia, but welcomed back left arm seamer Adnan Saleem. After a washout in the first game the As 1st XI’s lack of match practice showed as they made no impression against Staines & Laleham. The next two games saw the As get rid of their scuba suits and put in good performances against Woking & Horsell (Poulton 107*) and Old Emanuel to record back to back victories and get the campaign back on track after a slow start. The As inconsistency in batting then came to the fore, as poor performances against Cranleigh and Epsom saw heavy defeats. Good bowling performances against Old Wimbledonians and Bank of England secured victories but inconsistency with the bat cost the As victories throughout the season eventually finishing a creditable 4th with an entertaining win in the last game of the season against Epsom. Generally the As performances were inconsistent with the bat, which realistically cost the fight for promotion. Cranleigh and Chessington were run away performers in the league, and congratulations must go to them. The inconsistent season must not overshadow the great partnership Adnan and Chris have formed opening the bowling. Without them the team would surely have been in a worse position. Andrew Poulton’s performance with the bat was also exceptional, leading from the front, showing aggression at the top of the order and setting a good platform for the team. Lastly, it is with regret that Andrew Poulton has decided to step down as club and 1st team captain. He and Mike have transformed the As from the Fullers League into a solid Surrey Championship team. Andrew has carried out the role of captaincy with distinction; gaining 3 successive promotions and cup honours. Ashley Worrall took on 2nd XI captaincy this season, but after scoring 100* against Woking, he was promoted to the 1s before ending his season due to injury. Barry Lineker took over the duties and got off to a great start with a win against Warlingham, followed by four more wins against Streatham, Cobham, Egham and Ashford before rain intervened to halt their good form. At this stage the 2s were firmly in second place, a position they held for the rest of the season, thanks to another fine run of wins. There were some noticeable performances this season, Chris Hurrion was top run scorer with 394 at 49.25, including four 50s and Dan Lineker came of age with the bat making his maiden 50 against Cobham, where David Roche also hit his first 50 of the season. Ryan Polly found some form with a great 69* against Sinjuns while Adi Dhond also hit his first 50 against Streatham. Due to the damp pitches, the games this season were dominated by the bowlers, leading the way was skipper Barry Lineker with 44 wickets at 6.84, including five 5 fors, he was pushed all the way by 17 year old spinner Charlie Nash who finished with 32 wickets at 8.88, this could have been even better if injury had not finished his season early. Grant Braganza chipped in with 25 wickets at 15.04 including an unbelievable spell in the win at Egham, where he took 6-31, including a hat trick, to win the game in a tight promotion decider. Ex-pro Rupesh Amin also had a few games in the 2s to find his form, which he did with 5-23 at home against Egham, before moving back to the 1s. The fielding was strong with Craig Stevens behind the stumps taking 5 stumpings and 10 catches; Antony Starnes and Lewis Noble both took 11 catches. Promotion was claimed with three games to go with the win against Warlingham. Having been so close over the last four years it was a relief to finally get over the line, making this the first promotion for the 2s in 15 years! The side had some really good games against a number of teams this season, well done to Woking & Horsell on their title win; they were by far the best side in this division. Thanks to Ron Burton and Steve Hasler for umpiring, to Ray Munn and Lai Burton for scoring, Pam for the teas, Steve for the bar and also to ALL the oppositions’ umpires that stood at both ends when the 2nd XI was unable to supply an umpire. Lastly the help and support the whole club has given the 2s this season, without them, promotion would not have been possible! Well done boys, bring on 2013!! With no game until the end of May due to the weather, an under prepared 3rd XI began with defeats to Esher and Streatham & Marlborough, on both occasions only having 10 players, which also happened on a

33 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports few other occasions this season. A victory over Guildford City began a streak of 5 wins with an average opposition score of just 68, the pick being against Thames Ditton who were skittled out for just 27 having being set a modest 93. During this period the pick of the bowlers were opening pair Clinton Smith and Tristan Dennis who bagged 31 wickets between them. A disappointing defeat to Purley was followed by a hard fought winning draw with Sinjuns and a win over Sanderstead. With three games remaining a chance of promotion was realistic but the team had to win them all. A 2-run defeat at Kingstonian ended the valiant effort. Two comprehensive wins against Worcester Park and Farnham ensured the side finished in a best ever 4th place. While the batting did not fire this year, it was the fielding and bowling which dominated games. Top run scorer was Aman Dhanapal with 235. There were some excellent individual batting displays from Ashley Snaddon, Lewis Noble, Mo Zubbar, Aniket Chhatre and Dhanapal. Leading wicket taker was vice-captain James Luffingham who bagged 26 wickets at 21.42, only playing half the games. This included three 5+ wicket hauls with the pick being his 7-44 against Sanderstead. Dennis and Smith bagged 21 and 18 wickets respectively, with the latter being lost to the 2nd XI soon after. A very good season for the 3rd XI and thanks go to all who were involved and hope that the 2013 season takes the team that one step further. Congratulations to the 2nd XI on finally gaining promotion to Div 2. Shame the side just missed out on a double celebration for the club. Aside from 2 defeats where the team was not competitive, it was a very satisfying season for the 4th XI. The 2 winning draws should both have been wins had the captain not got excited at winning the toss and batting; hindsight is a wonderful thing. Special mention must go to Daniel Mears, who took 21 wickets and finished second leading wicket taker in the league; Clive Worral, who hit a superb 128, the highest individual score in the league against Beddington and Chris Nott, who played just 4 games and scored 252 runs, being dismissed only once, this was the best average in any league. The end of season league stats also show that Addiscombe 4th XI had 4 of the top 10 individual run scorers. 4th XI cricket is a stepping stone for colts moving up to the longer form of the game but it was not until the last 4 games that this really happened. The captain was able to play a mixture of U14s/U13s in these games achieving 3 wins and a winning draw. 68 overs were bowled by the colts, yielding a combined 7 for 192 including 20 maidens. U14 Akhil Dua’s 10 overs, 7 maidens, 1 for 7 in 2 spells was a tremendous effort. U14 leg spinner Ed Nott took 6 wickets in his 4 games at a cost of just 13. U14s Ashwin Gomes and Will Honeyman both bowled economically without any luck. Indeed Ashwin had 3 catches put down off his bowling. U13 Fin Peronious bowled a great spell at the death in his first game in adult cricket. Batting - because of Chris Nott’s outstanding form the colts did not get much of a chance but U13 Jack Stone was confident enough to open and a special mention should go to Will Honeyman. His 14* including the winning hook for 4 in the last game against Trinity was a quality cameo.

Vastly improved administration, organisation and communication meant that the 1st XI moved on from the off-the-field problems which beset previous seasons. The club functioned really well, thanks to the tireless work of its officers, not least Kato Blake, who retired as Chairman after 18 seasons at the club. On the field, though, the side anticipated some struggles and the aim was for the 1st XI to stay in Div 4. This was achieved thanks to late-summer wins against Kenley and Rutlishians. Tom Eadon’s 114 was the reason for the former, and Josh Lawrence’s 71 ensured the latter. An extraordinary win against Egham, in which the team defended a meagre 80 thanks to Dan Goodwin’s 6 for 10, ensured the side’s survival. Lawrence’s 287 runs were the most for the team, followed by Jim Bridgeman’s 253. It was the first season that he did not score a half-century for the club. The captain, Will Bevan, proved highly adept at motivation and man-management in spite of having to field weaker teams than he had hoped, and he led from the front with 248 runs and 17 wickets. The season began brightly for the 2nd XI, but as player availability and team strength dwindled, the slight possibility of relegation loomed. The captain, Russell Clayton, managed to forge a team that was greater than the sum of its parts, utilising bit-part players to good effect. Alastair Reeves was the stand-out bowler

34 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports and was eventually called up to the 1st XI, and continued to bowl well. Clayton’s 241 runs were eclipsed only by 288 from Masood Arman. Sean van der Merwe made 231 runs, including a blistering 90 in the knockout cup. Ben Yeo batted soundly and one cannot help but feel he is a captain-in-the-making. The most positive aspect of the 3rd XI this year was that it enabled us to sponsor players as part of the Refugee Cricket Project (run by Cricket for Change). The central player was Matiullah Haidar, who acted as recruiter, organiser and even translator for the many young Afghan players. The whole club was so proud when he won – from a list of hundreds of nominees – the Beyond Sport Award, gaining national press coverage when he collected the trophy from Muhammad Ali and David Beckham. Behind the scenes in this success story was Antonia Cohen, who was the driving force in the charitable initiative. In spite of all the club’s efforts, poor player availability wreaked havoc on the 3rd XI on several occasions and with great embarrassment the side let several teams down by conceding at short notice. The Club is doing everything it can to run a reliable 3rd XI next year.

The 1st XI season started with much hope and optimism, but that soon started to fade away with a few early losses, not helped by losing a few players. Ashford, however, recovered well and were in the top half of the table for the first half of the season, recording excellent wins over Walton, Cobham and Pyford in a row. This gave the squad belief but, unfortunately, there were some disappointing performances in the next few games. Consistency and timekeeping has been a stumbling block, but with a young team developing all the time, this will be addressed in the future. The batting was led well by young Dan Rose and the experienced head of Paul Frost, supported by the rest. Good knocks from Riaz Khan and Naeem Iqbal lower down the order often gave scores added respectability. Just a pity the bowling did not match up to the batting. Having just one opening bowler for more than half a season will not win the league. This needs to be addressed in the future if Ashford are going to compete at the highest level. The slow bowling stocks are looking good, with the new arrival of young spinner Mars, backed up by Andrew Tippell. The highlight of the season was beating Leatherhead away, with these two young spinners out-bowing an ex England test match spinner. Thanks go to all who have played for the side this season. It has not been easy, but with extra backing Ashford can go a long way. Many thanks also go out to the groundsman for producing one of the best cricket squares in the league, Nev for the most amazing teas and to Jack Frost for scoring, and his continuous support to the first Team. A strong finish elevated Ashford's 2nd XI to a deserved third place finish in a keenly contested Div 3 league. Jim Berressem returned as captain and the players worked hard to develop a strong team spirit and togetherness. There were mixed results, initially only two wins in the first five games. The seventh game of the campaign proved pivotal. Ashford were cruising to victory against eventual champions Woking & Horsell. The departure of Trefor Evans for a well-crafted 99 initiated a four-wicket collapse for as many runs as Ashford snatched defeat. The team responded positively, approaching each subsequent game with a renewed maturity and application, exemplified by the five wins achieved batting second. The team's nine wins included excellent all-round performances against Warlingham, Cobham Avorians and Egham. The lower-order showed composure in nail-biters against Pyrford and Thames Ditton, while a satisfying return win against the champions exorcised any lingering demons from the previous encounter. Skipper Berressem led with the bat (347 at 31) while Chris Davies (265 at 29) and Trefor Evans (220 runs at 24) offered good support. Naveed Khan returned 22 wickets at a miserly 14 and two five wicket hauls. Ian Doggett (17 wickets at 22.4) cemented his role in the opening pairing with the consistent Ali Syed. The mercurial Graham Doggett (17 wickets at 14.6) took his chance with the ball towards the end of the season. Tearaway quicks Lee Cousens and Ashley Armel-Close impressed early on, each claiming a five-for, but unavailability deprived the side of both these young talents for much of the summer. The fielders followed the high standard set by Trefor Evans, who snared a few exceptional catches. The four wicket-keepers employed each worked tirelessly. In all, 34 players featured in the 2012 squad; they

35 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports imbued the side with many favourable traits: talent, ambition, discipline and fun. If they can start the 2013 campaign in similar form and confidence as they finished 2012, expect more success. Losing the final game of the season meant Ashford 3rd XI missed out on promotion. The batting stars were Ben Simper (381 at 37) and Hasib Butt (402 at 45). Hasib showed what a great batsmen he is scoring 127 against Staines & Laleham. A special mention for Chris White who scored 147 runs in 7 games before injury. Also Naveed Khan (97 in 3 games) before being promoted to the 2s and Rob Ford (80 runs) in his customary 1 game before the 2s called him back! Ciaran Lewis scored 47 at Thames Ditton; he also bowls and excels in the field. If Ciaran continues to improve, he will become a 2s regular. Gurpret Hundal scored a classy 74 against Kingstonian but the side is unlikely to keep hold of Gurpret in the 3s next year! Bowling was led by Ben Simper and Taimoor Anwar. Excellent backup was found in Iffy Anwar and Paul Wilson. Naveed Khan took 12 wickets in 3 games. Good support came from Mohammed Usman, Chris Lunn, Trevor Langworth, Imtiaz Khan and Bilal Mohammed. Bilal, an interesting leg spinner with a superb attitude will be useful to the club as he matures. Iffy Anwar took 15 wickets, Paul Wilson had best figures of 4 for 32 and earned his call up to the 2s and Taimoor Anwar took 20 wickets with a best of 5 for 16 against Staines & Laleham. Ben Simper took 3 wickets in the same game and ended the season with 25 wickets; with his runs and excellent fielding he was a natural for the Manager’s Player of the Year. Dan Simper kept solidly behind the stumps making a real difference to the team. Personal thanks to Chris White and Ben Simper who helped to run the team. Thanks to the groundsman for preparing one of the best pitches. Teas, produced by Nevin and Amber, were greatly received by all. The 4th XI earned a respectable finish in the Western Division league. Highlights of the season included four good wins and a couple of tight losses – a four-run defeat to the league runners-up Staines & Laleham and another, by just six runs, to the eventual champions Guildford. The low-points of the campaign were heavy defeats to Guildford and Valley End. Leading an Ashford side for the first time, Tahir Malik captained with a typical blend of youth and experience based around a core of stalwarts - Steve Adams, Jasdev Rehncy, Safdar Butt and wicketkeeper Keith Pryke - and new members Asif Raja and Naseer Hussain. The team provides a vital opportunity to introduce colts to longer-format cricket. The athleticism and enthusiasm in the field of Liam Manning, James Magli, Jamie Tilt and Kieran Axten proved vital when married with the savvy field settings proffered by senior team members. The team's innings relied heavily on the middle-order pairing of Naseer Hussain (364 at 45) and captain Tahir Malik (363 at 45), hitting three 50s each with identical top-scores of 74. Asif Raja (168 at 28) offered good support with the bat. Worthy of mention is Arif's only innings of 127* in the final win over Egham. Ashford legend Steve Adams led the bowling attack with 15 wickets at 14 – his slight of hand often proved the undoing of inexperienced batsmen. Ifnan Anwar provided a cutting-edge to the attack in the early stages of the campaign, taking 5 for 27 to skittle Hampton Wick Royal for 57 in defence of the team’s meagre 93. However, such performances were recognised with promotion to the 3rd XI. This left captain Malik, Naseer Hussain, Zafir Dar and Liju Lazar to shoulder most of the bowling duties. Importantly, promising performances by younger bowlers James Magli and Jamie Tilt auger well for the future.

After the 1st XI’s bitter disappointment of being relegated from the Surrey Premiership in 2011, missing out on promotion by just a single point was very hard to take. The introduction of new player/coach Stuart Cope saw a rejuvenated set up within club and a steady pre-season laid a solid foundation for what proved to be a bitter sweet season for the 1st XI. Succumbing to the ever unpredictable weather on four occasions, and two defeats by just one run, only deepened the agony of falling short of re-gaining promotion. Notwithstanding the outcome, there were some standout performances that will ensure the side will be better equipped for 2013. Among several high points were the two victories against Cheam (A) and Old Whits (A) both in the penultimate over of the match; the 197 run partnership between Zac Elkin (103*) and

36 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Stewart Cameron (112*) against Cheam (H); the outstanding figures of 7-32 against Dulwich from the ever reliable Tom Deighton; and the match winning 103 from Elkin against Valley End. The team was once again very well led by John Vaughn Davies, who continues to fight the aches and pains of being the elderly statesman of the side, and once again proved to be as reliable as ever. The departure of the two opening bowlers from 2011 opened the door for some very promising club juniors to step up. Tom Williams showed early glimpses of the depth that is starting to emerge from within the club with some solid performances in his first appearances in 1st XI cricket. There is a lot to look forward to in 2013. Special mention must be made of young Dominic Sibley who has been handed a two year professional summer contract with Surrey and also to young Tom Williams, who has been selected for the Alec Bedser Legacy, Fast Bowler initiative. On the back of the 2nd XI’s poor first season in the Premier Division, which saw the side demoted back to Div 1, the objective was to blood younger talent from within the club and look to the future. If that meant a season or two of consolidation in Div 1, then so be it. To gain promotion back up to the Premier with a young side was therefore a massive achievement! With the very successful Simon Feeney stepping down as captain, Steve Tyson was appointed for his first stint as a skipper at ACC. Having lost the two opening fixtures, the concerns were that life in Div 1 was going to be as challenging as in Premier. However, up stepped the young guns of Ashtead and with the guidance of a couple of experienced players, performances improved dramatically and so did the win ratio. The achievements of the bowling attack emphasised just what Ashtead is trying to achieve. Tom Homes topped the bowling (31wkts at 14.61) at just 14 years of age and was more than ably supported by brother Sam Homes (26 at 17.92) aged just 16. These two spun the Stags to many a victory and with the medium pace accuracy of Henry Elburn (15 at 17) opposition sides were bowled out cheaply, or put under pressure. With the batting headed by the evergreen and hugely experienced Gary Martin (420) at an average 84 supported by the explosive young Michael Sanderson (355) the Stags were regularly off to a good start and with the middle order firing most weeks, targets were set or chased down with ease. The league title was won at home with victory against local rivals Leatherhead. This was an amazing year for the 2s and the experience gained by the younger players will hopefully hold them in good stead for the future. Many thanks must go to Angus Nicholls for umpiring and for Sue Griffiths and Sue Williams for scoring. It was a season of two halves again for the 3rd XI. Initially it proved difficult, with varied availability from the more senior members of the club, to put out competitive sides. Availability improved in the second half of the season, evidencing the quality of the junior section. When the young players became available, the side showed that it could compete with the best in the league. However, sitting at the bottom of the table with 4 games left was fairly daunting. The team then went on a 4 game winning streak to ensure Premier League safety for the 2013 season. There were some fantastic performances throughout the year including two first time senior hundreds for Tom Culhane and Seb Stewart-Taylor in the last game of the season. Tom Culhane ended top of the averages and made a real difference in helping secure an invaluable winning run. Many of the senior stalwarts such as Rob Wint, Nick Gavin-Brown and Tim Leonard delivered with the bat at important times of the season. Finally young Connor Caprano-Wint offered much promise with the ball and produced some excellent spells of bowling. This was a challenging but enjoyable season and a good way for the current skipper to hand over the reigns to fresh blood and some new ideas. A mid-table finish on 96 points for the 4th XI was a highly creditable effort from a side which has a very healthy blend of youth and experience. Early season availability issues were inevitable, given the reliance placed by the club on its junior players. At times the side went from the sublime to the ridiculous, for example in half term week, when 20 additional players became available! Useful batting contributions from senior players, Tom Reed, Peter Suddell and especially David Whiteley, helped enormously with the creation of a platform around which the young players could develop. David Whiteley, batting lower down the order, helped shore up the side on many an occasion. Within the many talented youngsters, there are a number that are showing real promise and it is great to see players like the Homes brothers and Fred Davies, who started life in the 4s, now competing in the 2s. Of the current crop of youngsters, Jordan Nicholls, Sam Gale, Hayden Storey, Chris Roberts and a number of others, all finished the season with highly creditable averages in the mid-teens. The experience of Paul Williams and David Whiteley, who between them took 34 wickets, helped greatly with the bowling but, again, there were plenty of valuable contributions from the youngsters. Harry Williams, Connor Caprano-Wint and Jordan Nicholls made valuable contributions and show signs of rising through the ranks. Another highly enjoyable season comes to a close with much to look forward to for next season.

The 1st XI’s early season form looked promising, with 3 wins and a narrow defeat from the first four games showing that the Bank could indeed play when the weather was wet, topping the league. Ultimately it could not be sustained and a season of disappointment beckoned. The timed games (often the team’s weak suit) coincided with injury, unavailability and loss of form to dismantle any momentum the side had gathered. Come the final 5 games, relegation loomed. Two impressive victories were offset by rival teams’ wins, and then the rain denied a great chance of a win at Epsom. Still, a win from either of the last two games would guarantee safety. A rollercoaster defeat meant it was down to the last week, with the loser of the battle with Old Emanuel going down to Div 4. It was an impressive Bank performance, Karl Thorns’ unbeaten ton seeing the Bank to 260, and OE never looked like getting it, going down to 96 all out, securing the Bank’s Div 3 future for a year. Results also went the right way on the last day, meaning the team hopped up to 6th – never in doubt! A topsy turvy season has its plusses, as several youngsters were given longer runs in the team. Walpole (465 at 66) came of age, smashing a hundred against Cranleigh in their only defeat all year. Harry O’Brien’s (328 at 27) ton against Chessington won the game, and his fielding was deeply impressive. With the ball, Joe Markowski (11 at 33) bowled consistently well, and senior pro Samanta kept it tight and weighed in with 22 wickets. Karl Thorns showed flashes of form (365 at 26; 24 wkts at 23), and ended as top wicket taker. Recruitment for better strength in depth and more consistent availability will be needed to mount a promotion bid next year – and maybe winning the toss more than twice. Despite Bank 2nd XI finishing in the doldrums of a league where the standard of cricket was consistently high across all teams, it was another enjoyable season. Perhaps if the side had been a little better and forced home a couple of close finishes, then the elusive promotion may have been within grasp. Aaron Crane (22 wkts at 16) once again performed admirably with the ball in all situations, and valuable contributions were seen with the bat from Tim Hoolahan (210 at 42, including a maiden century), the ever consistent David Pugh (303 at 101) and, Jon Relleen (251 at 31). The youth still deliver, with Nikul Ramesh, Charlie O’Brien, Harry Snow and Will Serocold remaining exciting prospects for the club. As ever, extended thanks go to the Bank of England Sports Club staff for the superb facilities they prepare every week, to umpire Mr Paul Bartlett, Richard Down for his patience and to stand-in-captain for a bit more of the season than anticipated, Aaron Walder, particularly for the last three weeks where no-doubt the club went from strength-to-strength socially. Roll on next season already!

2012 started with high hopes that the 1st XI could win the premiership title. Preparations had been good however a campaign that saw 5 matches abandoned meant winning the league was impossible. There were a number of highlights; Rory Burns scored 503 at 83.83 before a deserved and successful call up to the County. It is immense credit to Rory that when not required by the county he continued to turn out for Banstead. Tom Lancefield 380, Jak Martin 361, Alistair Turner 309 and Matt Spriegel 265, all contributed steadily and produced match winning or saving innings at vital times. The first 5 matches were all won with a few jitters on the way. Reigate Priory were held at bay by Rory

38 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Burns 82 out of 166, put under pressure by superb bowling from Jonnie Speller and finished off by the spinners Tom Lancefield, Dan Gale and Matt Spriegel. Wimbledon were bowled out for 253 when a total of 300 was on the cards, then blown away by Rory Burns 131* and Tom Lancefield 77 in a partnership of 214. It took a captain’s innings of substance (Jak Martin 82*) to get past the post against Camberley with newcomers to the side, Robbie Joyce and Billy Yeats completing the win with 18 off 10 balls with 5 balls to spare. The bowlers performed well; they kept pressure on the batsman throughout and brought situations back under control when they looked as if they might become dangerous. Wickets were shared almost equally, Anthony Caddy 19 at 23.95, Dan Gale 18 at 25.95, Tom Lancefield 16 at 16.06, Jonnie Speller 14 at 21.50 and Richard Bedbrook 13 at 27.69. Useful contributions were also provided by Freddie van den Berg and Aman Shinwari. Thanks to captain Jak Martin who is now standing down; he has captained the side excellently throughout his tenure. Also to the scorer Vicki Howard whose attention to detail is exemplary. The 2012 season was successful for the 2nd XI. Although disappointed not to have won the league after an exceptional start in the limited over matches, the 2nd XI secured promotion back to the Premiership with two games to go. Once again Clive Offer led the batting averages with 517 runs at 43.08; he was supported well by James Pearce 309 at 28.09 as well as Dan Sutton and Greg Dann when they were available. The bowling charge was led by slow bowling duo Phil Reeves, 24 wickets at 12.13, and captain Liam Burns, 20 wickets at 16.45. Mike Condie had a good season with the new ball returning 17 wickets at 23.18, Mike also had a breakthrough season with the bat supplying some very useful performances in the lower middle order, and adding some genuine all-round worth to the side. The most impressive trait of the bowling unit was the ability to build collective pressure with four of the main bowlers all going for less than 3.5 runs per over across the season. Other mentions go to 16 year old Darshan Chohan who stepped up to open the batting very nicely this season, showing good temperament and technique, while also delivering his left arm spin economically, and Robbie Joyce who at times showed good potential with the bat. Thanks also to Matthew Adamson and Keith Ebdon who have supported the team with their respective scoring and umpiring roles. The 2nd XI has laid solid foundations for a return to Premiership cricket and are very much looking forward to the challenge next season has in store. Despite playing some good cricket throughout the season, the 3rd XI found themselves second best on too many occasions, resulting in relegation. Jack Fowler led the batting with 352 runs at 25 including a solid 85 against Sutton. However, too often, the side failed to post a winning total (passing only 200 twice) and despite some credible bowling performances, fell agonisingly short in a number of games. Ben Flook continued to show promise with the ball, finishing top of the averages with 17 wickets at 8 apiece, backed up by James Mann (14 at 23) and Chris Reeves (11 at 10). With a young side full of talent, the squad looks forward to bouncing back strongly next year and regaining a place in the Premiership. Thanks go to Ron Outridge (umpire) and Mark Chesser (scorer) for their hard work all season.

The 1st XI season had its highs and lows but ultimately the mid-table finish reflected the consistency of the team’s performance throughout the season. 2012 started with a bang with impressive results (when weather permitted) in the one day form of the game, most notably well fought victories against Ashtead and Cheam and a clinical performance vs. Brook. After the first third of the season the team felt in a strong position, amongst the other sides at the top of the division, however the transition into the middle third brought inconsistent performances. This occurred due to a lack of cricket (missing four weeks on the trot throughout July) and as a result the lack of momentum required to convert the strong start into a challenging position. Individual performances never really got going so as to provide the consistency and the results required to properly compete. New comer Tom Bevan was the nearest thing to consistent scoring, 358 runs at 36 and taking 15 wickets at 15. He was supported by the ever green Antony Down (227 at 25) and overseas

39 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports pro Craig McElligott (238 runs at 20 and 13 wickets at 30). On the bowling front, as per the previous year, Ryan Cummins and Daniel Lewis did the bulk of the bowling providing a decent return and often setting games up for potential winning opportunities. 2013 looks promising as the predominantly home grown side continues to mature, showing glimpses of a competent cricket side which can deliver in both forms of the game. This has been further strengthened with a couple of additions from around the county as well as the inclusion of some very promising youngsters. Thanks must go to Adam Knight and Chris Burton for keeping an immaculate book/laptop and in particular to Mike Lewis for orchestrating the team and the club in general throughout the season. This was a strange season for the 2nd XI as the weather played a huge part in making it an interesting end to the season with more games rained out than anyone else in the division. Despite this, there were a number of good performances; more with the ball than the bat. Josh Gilliam led the way with 27 wickets at 12.04, his best performance coming against East Molesey with figures of 5/42. Tom Lewis was also a key performer with 17 wickets at 15.35 with his best figures of 6/44 against Banstead. There were also good cameo performances from Kevin Horkan with a highlight of 5/36 at Leatherhead. With the bat, Ian Messom had a good year averaging over 30 with his best knocks coming against Trinity 66 and Spencer 73. Apart from that the team relied on a good end of the season from Mahesan Nadarajah with a best of 52 at East Molesey and a couple of good performances from a young Jack Hargreave with his best of 55. It is now time to rest up this winter and hope for a better summer in 2013. The 3rd XI enjoyed an improved season ending 5th in the table winning 6 and drawing 2. Wins over Wimbledon and Sutton, led by Will Brown whilst Chris Austin was away, started the season well. Creditable performances throughout the season saw Arun Butler taking 4-24 against Wimbledon, Adam Trigwell scoring 106 away at Sutton as well as Sam Bartram taking 4-53, Matt Ashton scoring 69 in one of the double wins over Sunbury and against Spencer in a home win, Ryan Pepperell and John Young taking 5 a piece. Other notable performances included Gareth Williams 54 and Arun Butler 5-41 in a win against Malden Wanderers. A win against Sutton at home saw Dan Lewis taking 5-9! A home loss to Dulwich followed with Arun Butler scoring 53 but Alan Carol and Chris Austin registered fifties against Sunbury. The side used 46 players throughout the season which has its own problems but the weather may have levelled many performances. Arun Butler was the Player of the Season with 24 wickets at an economy rate of 2.86 and scoring close to 200 runs. A thank you must go to Ian Williams for umpiring for the majority of games and Micky Lewis for his continued support. Beddington 5th XI enjoyed an improved if curtailed season of fourth eleven cricket. An improved seventh place and 42 points was the team’s reward for more consistent performances with the bat and some good individual performances with the ball. The highlight was certainly the league win against Merstham away where a hard hitting 99 from Nial Sheridan and 43 from Paul Baker set up a declaration, which was followed up by 6-30 from Nick Farley. Two friendly victories (including one with nine men) were also testament to the spirit showed by the team this year. Team scores were generally of a higher order this year with three men scoring over a hundred runs. Kumar Kumaramaratan led the way in the league with 149 runs and James Sheridan scored 160 spread over just two innings. Availability issues meant the team could not field a consistent bowling attack, with Nick Farley the leading wicket taker with 11. Other notable bowling performances included 6-41 by Noorani Chagai against Trinity Mid Whits and 5-48 by John Kenward against Merstham. Thanks as always to the players, umpires and scorers who made the season an enjoyable one (when it was not raining!).

After the 1st XI’s excitement of promotion to the Premier League in 2011 it was going to be a tough job to match it in 2012. Excuses could be found, but ultimately not enough runs were scored meaning the bowlers did not have much to bowl at. It was a disappointing season and one that could have been different if only for the odd thing here and there; frustratingly the team just could not get over the line far too often. The player of the season was Dan Burns with his aggressive, yet controlled, left arm spin producing 33 wickets at an impressive 19.42. Tom Ortiz opened the bowling with his tall seamers and fighting spirit and returned 29 wickets at 22.38; a decent return in his first season in England. Luke Douglas picked up 18 at 34.72 with his steady left arm spin and competitive attitude and was a great help to the others around him.

Steven Hirst offered great variety and control when conditions suited; he picked up 10 wickets at 38.1 but tied up an end allowing pressure to be built. Will Sabey also offered balance, complimenting his top order batting with more than useful seam bowling, adding 9 wickets to his 5 scores of 50 or more. Runs proved hard to come by especially in the first half of the year. Lance Rodrigues constructed a brilliant hundred against Guildford which was his first for the club and at premiership level. He was the top run scorer with 471 at 27.21. Other contributions came from Will Sabey (468 at 33.4) and Pete Young (452 at 32.29) with useful contributions from Steven Hirst, Max Shoveller, Mark Dawes, Todd Hutcheson and Dom Peter. Many thanks go to Paul Abraham for his assistance both on and off the field and to Geoff Clamp for scoring throughout the season. Hopefully 2013 brings a bit more joy as well as a bit more sun. After an impressive start for Camberley 2nd XI, with wins not hard to find in the limited overs matches, it proved to be a difficult season which ultimately ended in relegation. There were many highlights along the way with this young team showing great potential throughout the year. There were half centuries from James Parrott, Tom Green and Mac Sayed along with 5-wicket-hauls from Julian Hagger and Sam Holmes. The season started with promise as the side won three of the first five games. With the declaration games ahead Camberley 2nd XI was looking for a strong mid table finish, what was to occur was not predicted with no wins from these games. With the limited overs games back into play for the last five matches the squad knew it had to pull something special off to stay away from relegation. With results going well after the first two games, one of which was won, the weather had its way with the away game at Bank of England. This left Camberley needing to win two from the last two games and rely on other results. Whilst the penultimate match was won, other results meant that unfortunately the team was relegated. However, with the team being so young, it was encouraging to see the potential of the side. With the upcoming season Camberley is looking forward positively, with an extra years’ experience there will be a better side and it will be looking to bounce straight back up to Div 2.

Following the relegation of the 1st XI from the Premier Division and the loss of a number of key players, Cheam entered 2012 with considerable uncertainty. With pre-season a total washout, a last over loss to East Molesey and a narrow victory the following week against Brook the team got away to a tentative start. The next weekend saw the return of an opening partnership from a bygone era - Miller and Phillips. Danny Phillip's return from three years down under came at just the right time. Danny retained the opening berth for the rest of the season, providing consistently good and fast starts. After May 19th Cheam won just one game in almost two months. Three abandoned fixtures during this time, including an horrific afternoon at Spencer, put the team in a precarious position. With players returning from school and university, the team finished with five wins from the last six games including a sensational 314 run chase at Ashtead. The following week saw the team dominate champions Spencer despite sore heads and bodies incurred at the captain's wedding the previous day. Any last ditch hopes of promotion were scuppered when Cheam rediscovered its dislike of catching against Valley End in the season's penultimate game. The outstanding batsmen were Adrian Jones (487 at 54), Bradley Scriven in his seven games (429 at 72), including two, brilliant, match-winning hundreds against Ashtead and Spencer, and Danny Miller also playing seven games (377 at 94 including two centuries). Of the bowlers Tim Scott (20 wickets) and Leigh Harrison (19 wickets) led the way. However, no bowler could argue they managed a consistent run of form during the season, which is something that must be improved next year. Given the winter upheaval, a lack of pre-season matches, and three abandoned games, a fifth placed finish, just nine points adrift of promotion, was above satisfactory. However, in 2013 there will be confidence that this can be significantly improved upon. With several key players promoted to the 1st XI, 2012 was never going to be easy for Cheam 2nd XI. New captain Marcus Jones was to rely on the rapid promotion of colts to maintain the side. Jones with 401 runs at 36, Rob Hendry with 331 at 35 and Dylan Durasigham 401 at 36 gave strength to the batting. The

49 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports bowling was less consistent. Niall McManus - U17, Joe Bracher - U16 and Fionn McManus - U14 progressed and impressed with the 1st XI squad later in the season. A final position of 6th was a considerable achievement and one that gives encouragement for the future. The 3rd XI had a successful start to the 2012 season, winning 7 of the first 9 games played. For a long period it looked as though Cheam were headed for promotion. New captain James Caddy led from the front with 438 runs at 49. Consistently strong performances from Tom Horwood 269 at 41 and Ed Stovell 27 wickets at 18 enabled the team to keep sustained pressure on Guildford at the top of the pile. However, when it came to the climax of the season, a lack of availability of players led to stuttering performances, in particular a loss to Epsom, ending hopes of promotion. Having said that, the team performed extremely well over the season and look good to challenge again next season, with promising colts such as Ollie Robertson bound to lead the charge. With the 4th XI success in 2011, promotion to the Premier Division was always going to lead to a tough season in 2012. Unsurprisingly the team won only one game. Considerable credit is due to captain Paul Fisher who led an invariably cheerful side who tried until the last game.

Three wins and a winning draw was enough to secure the 2nd XI their Surrey Championship Div 4 status for another year, they finished a respectable fifth just nine points clear of relegation. The team revolved around the experienced bowling duo of Mark Nuti and Phil Boast who both finished in the top ten in the league for wickets taken. Spinner Nuti finished third with his 27 victims during the year, claiming them at a measly 15.41 runs apiece. Boast, on the other hand, was seventh on the league’s wicket taking list with 18 at 15.28. Support with the ball came in the form of Ben Hanger (13 wickets at 13) and Craig Whiley (12 at 15.75). With the bat, Hanger was clearly the outstanding performer. His position in the lower order often required him to come in and counter-attack, something he did superbly in amassing 294 runs at an average of 42 with two 50s. Hanger aside, responsibility with the willow was spread around the team with six other players scoring over 100 runs. The future of the side looks bright with a number of key contributions coming from younger players, including the four wickets of U12 player Tommy Duffy. However, the blend between youth and experience could be seen quite clearly in the ages of the five other players to score half centuries during the season, ranging from Surrey Over 50s player Martin Allen to 15 year-old Cade Skelton, whose 52* on the final day of the season showed maturity and gave a window into his immense potential. Under the direction of Boast and with a squad full of players that compliment each other perfectly, the 2s can look forward to another solid season next year. Mark Pulling’s 3rd XI ended the season a slightly disappointing 14th but battled well to stave off relegation, given the horrendous weather during the season and the usual availability issues. The side recorded three wins and two winning draws, with opening batsman Martin Allen topping the batting charts with 151 runs including 65* against Sinjuns. There were also useful contributions from Chris Smith, Gordon Whiley and Craig Skelton but the captain will surely be looking for more from his younger players next season. Simon Smith was not as readily available as he has been in previous seasons, but the tall opening bowler still made his presence felt during the year. He led the way once again, taking 29 wickets from just eight games at an astonishing average of 11.17. He finished second in the league for wickets taken and must have the bowling award wrapped up for another season. Spinners Pulling (14 wickets at 19.64) and Bruce Raeside (11 at 21.45) chipped in with young left-armer Jamie Anthony also contributing.

New 1st XI skipper Daniel Yarnley had high optimism after a strong finish in 2011. The squad had excellent preparation for the season; nets were the best attended for years, everyone’s hopes were high, ready for the practice games, then the weather hit. The side got off to a flyer winning the first 4 games, opening up a gap at the top of the league by the time the side played eventual champions Cranleigh. Although the team battled hard, Cranleigh ran out deserved winners. The next 6 games saw 5 wins and an abandoned game (surprisingly only 3 games were lost to rain). A winning draw against Woking & Horsell meant that the tight win against Churt ensured promotion with 4 games to play. The final 4 games were spent catching Cranleigh at the top but 2 losses, an abandoned game and a solitary victory meant it was not to be. A fantastic season was provided by the batters where 3 players made around the 400 mark. Skipper D. Yarnley led the runs with 405 at 34, C. Young (392 at 30 including the team’s only 100 against Addiscombe) and B. Smith (378 at 32) both contributing consistently. Valuable contributions were made by Matt Alldis who also kept exceptionally well, even though he may not have wanted to do the job! New recruit Jon Ackhurst played some quality innings as did stalwarts White and Willis. The success of the season was built around a quality, well varied bowling attack. Six sides were bowled out for under 120 and only 3 sides were not bowled out by this formidable attack. Dylan Woutersz in his second season was the star of the attack; he bowled with real accuracy, pace and aggression to take 31 at 10 (including two 6 wicket hauls). He was well backed up by overseas player Ben Holt (possibly the quickest in the division) who picked up 22 wickets at 15 before going home after promotion. Spinners R. Singleton and D. Yarnley also bowled well with 27 at 12 and 25 at 12 respectively. Mention must also go to 16 year old Ollie Robinson in his first season in the 1s with 7 wickets before football commitments ended his season and the ever reliable medium pacers Robson and Ackhurst. The team managed to blood Adam Lawrence (14) and Ruckshan Rajamanthri (15) who both performed really well and means the future looks bright for the club. Div 2 will be an excellent test for the 1st XI and with a good, young side starting to take shape the club can be optimistic for another successful season. Thanks to scorer J. Yarnley who was ever present, Brian and his team for getting the ground ready in tough conditions and Pam and helpers for keeping the boys full. With the 4th Division only consisting of 8 teams and weather causing all pre-season friendlies to be cancelled, Chessington 2nd XI got off to a slow start losing the first two games. Form was as temperamental as the weather with wins being followed by a loss. With the freedom of no relegation, the side managed to give opportunities to colts including Tayler Young (10 wkts at 23). This was backed up by the experience of leading wicket taker Kevin Dillon (13 at 13.5). The batting was the weaker discipline with only 1 century and four 50s; Richard Cook (252 at 28.2) and Hoos Shaboodien (242 at 24.2). Thanks as always to Brian and his team for the excellent work on the ground and Pam and the ladies for the best spread in the league. This was a difficult season for the 3rd XI. Season long unavailability of key players coupled with sporadic availability of several 2s/3s players led to the team being under strength for most games. A number of inexperienced colts made commendable efforts to fill the gaps but, in the end, this was not enough to avoid defeat in the majority of games. With the top and bottom half of the table splitting and forming a new Div 1 and 2 for the 2013 season it was always going to be a massive task to avoid the “drop” to Div 2 and this proved to be the case with the team finishing 3rd from bottom. Runs were always at a premium throughout the season with only skipper Jon Mayhew (287 runs at 24 apiece) and Tim Kendall (208 runs at 23) scoring over 200 runs. They were also the principal contributors (83 and 63 respectively) in arguably the best victory of the season – a successful run chase of 238 against Old Ruts early in the season. Veteran Dave Wisden, with 26 wickets at 16 including 2 five wicket hauls, was once again the leading wicket taker and Tim Kendal, demonstrating his all round skills with 13 at just under 20 apiece, had some good performances with his off-spin. Best individual performance went to Dan “mad dog” Mckay with 7-39 in one of his only two appearances for the 3rd team. 15 year old Rukshan Rajamanthi showed distinct promise with his medium pace in-swingers taking 8 wickets at less than 10 apiece.

51 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

All in all, a disappointing season for the 3s and it is hoped that one or two of the more senior players will return to the fold next year to support the many promising youngsters in the team. The 4th XI endured a frustrating and disappointing season as the side dropped out of the league half way through the season. With availability and weather being poor for the higher XIs it meant fielding a 4th side was getting harder and younger, eventually meaning the side would only have 7 or 8 on a Saturday morning with all bar one of them being 14 or 15. In the games that were played 15 year old Ruckshan Rajamanthri starred in his one game with 96* before the higher XIs came calling and an eventual 1st XI call up. Captain Cook and P Dillon also made some good contributions. Youngsters C Page, G Johnson, S Newsome and A Jenkins performed admirably. Better weather and availability will result in the 4th XI playing competitively again next season.

After the disappointment of finishing 3rd in 2011, a winter of hard work for the 1st XI both on and off the field ensured Chips were well prepared for a rather damp opening start to the season. A win at windswept Egham set the tone for a year in which Chipstead dominated from start to finish losing only one fixture in a close finish to fellow promotees Streatham & Marlborough. The batting line up, led ably by the dependable Salil Oberoi and boosted by the return of High Road legend David Ward and new recruit Malinda Thotiwilage, was simply too strong and too deep for most attacks. Match winning contributions were produced throughout the squad, an achievement that bodes well for 2013 where sterner tests will await. With the ball, the continued development of Leigh Padfield, under the close scrutiny of Chipstead’s overseas player Baden Wilton, was a joy to watch. At times devastating, his maturity into the spearhead of the side’s attack is something he, and those who have worked with him, should be very proud of. Forming a dynamic opening partnership with Michael Bradley and ably supported by the ruthless consistency of Malinda Thotiwilage and Elliott Noble, the side’s bowling options were the most balanced seen at High Road in recent years and one certainly capable of sending a message to many sides in Div 3. The evergreen genius of Daryl Hattingh behind the stumps is also worthy of individual recognition. His contribution to Chipstead during his time at the club has been phenomenal and as he bids farewell in 2013 to return to South Africa, his presence with both bat and gloves is one that will be sorely missed. However, for a side that achieved promotion with 5 games of the season remaining, the future remains incredibly bright. With a strong core of players and the growth of several talented youngsters into consistent match winners it is with great anticipation that the club looks forward to next summer. The 2nd XI season came in 3 parts. The first part was wet, and on the very occasional week when a game was possible, conditions were tough; a very young side struggled in these games of attrition against experienced teams. The second part saw the weather improve and availability deteriorate; in this period the side was resilient and hard to beat but failed to convert a number of winning positions. The final part saw both the weather and availability improve as the team went on a 6 game winning-streak, securing third spot in a very competitive league. Throughout the season a number of promising young colts were blooded, including Joe Percival, Alex Dombrant and Sam Blackburn, but it was the new ball duo of Nathan Heal and Alex Boosey that really impressed. The injection of youth, confidence and quality that these players added was essential to the success. As the year progressed they learned from the previous weeks’ experiences and their contributions became more noticeable. By the time summer arrived in August they spearheaded the winning sequence. The old campaigners also played their part, Alan Clark and Robbie Martin both had good seasons with the bat, but the outstanding contribution came from John Blackburn (441 runs). John’s calming influence at the top of the order was very important. Throughout the season CCWCC could always rely on the bowling consistency of Greg Barber, Ross Moody and Paul Huitson to back up the promising young quicks. All year the side bowled well as a unit and were difficult to score against.

52 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

For a young side starting out it exceeded all expectation, while the league finish represents a success story it does not paint the whole picture. The real win for CCWCC was the development of a group of very talented young players who have promising futures ahead of them. Hopefully this will help the team go a place or two better in 2013.

The 1st XI had a season of change at the club with the appointment of Scott Power as skipper and 5 regulars unavailable. After an initial wash out, the next two games against Epsom and Cranleigh illustrated the lack of depth in the squad as Churt were beaten heavily in both games. An improved performance in the defeat against Bank pointed to better things and Churt duly bagged its 1st win the following week, chasing 238 against Old Emanuel. A shortage of bowlers and a series of woeful batting performances meant Churt were soon in trouble again. A win at Addiscombe eased the pressure but at a cost, with injury to skipper Power restricting his bowling for the rest of the year. Churt defeated Bank but this was to be the only taste of success until the end of August when a win against Woking raised spirits but a defeat against fellow strugglers Old Emanuel in controversial circumstances made the spectre of relegation a real possibility. In an enjoyable ‘must win’ fixture against Staines & Laleham, Churt chased down 193 despite being 56 for 5 and looking buried and safety was confirmed. An unbeaten 72 from the portly Thomas typified his importance to the side throughout the season. Thompson (317 at 24) and Thomas (293 at 24) were the only batsmen to consistently perform. Thomas led the way with the ball (27 at 22) along with returning overseas player O’Leary (27 at 23). Power’s lack of overs significantly reduced the potency of Churt’s attack and his figures of 24 at 11 highlighted how much he was missed. Thanks go to overseas player Brendan O’Leary whose infectious enthusiasm has been a privilege to behold in the last 2 years. Above all though, thanks to Steve Leek, who scored all but the last handful of games whilst fighting illness. His presence was an inspiration to us all this year.

2012 was always going to be an immensely tough season for the 1st XI; stabilising and rebuilding. The committee worked hard pre-season to attract new players with some success and overseas Aussie Matt Sandery returned to skipper. There was some cause for pre-season optimism despite a number of the young products of the Avorians Academy, moving to greener pastures across the way. In the early games the batting line up looked frail with defeats to Farnham and Walton but worse was to follow at Pyrford. The As bowled the hosts out for 65, including an immense bowling spell from skipper Sandery of 7 for 26. Steve Maddocks’ spell at the other end, 10 overs 0 for 31, was certainly the best “none fer” seen for a while. The As then promptly failed to chase that meagre total. A massive body blow indeed! Sandery, 50 in a defeat at Mid-Whits, was followed by Joel Bailey showing what potential he has with the bat with a classy, composed innings at Worcester Park. Thereafter only James McLaughlin and Mike Bailey notched 50s. Rob Partridge bowled well and with threat in many spells but did not maintain discipline for long enough for it to be reflected with more wickets. Five matches into the season and 24 different players used, 11 of those being debutants, shows that the

53 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports hard work to find new players had some success; making up the numbers were the old guard, most of whom had previously retired from League 2s cricket! 41 players were used throughout the season in the side including a whole team of over 50s! Unsettled Aussie skipper returned home in early August and James McLaughlin took over the captaincy. The performances of 16 year olds Dom Worth and Ewan McTaggert shone out. With further acquisitions looking likely next season, there is renewed hope that the slide of As cricket is coming to an end. Things were no better for the 2nd XI. Disrupted by inconsistent availability, by the end of the season 55 different players had taken the field. Newcomers from Surrey University were a big bonus and there was a very welcome boost from the ever reliable ‘Staines Massive’ who regularly managed last minute recruits. At the end of the first half of the season the As romped to their first win, reaching an incredible 310 for 4 off 39 overs. Phil Huntley smashed a career best 163 at a strike rate of over 250! Fellow youngsters Steve Frise and Chris Harp also hit fine 50s, and the As duly bowled out Warlingham to take 13 points. There were few other high points of the season; Ben Miller continued to look like a good prospect taking 4 wickets on 2 occasions, and the returning Hugh Bailey was a constant threat. Abhi regularly contributed for both XIs with bat and ball and he was always a welcome name for either skipper to have on his team sheet. Steve Frise notched another 50 late in the season and both Aanand and Raghu also made regular decent scores with the bat and bowled well on a number of occasions. One noteworthy performance came at Streatham & Marlborough where the As were set an unrealistic 281. At 68 for 8 with nearly 40 overs remaining, salvaging a point seemed a forlorn hope. Prathip and Jeremy Cashman decided otherwise and batted for 2 hours for just 9 runs in a ‘Boycott-esq’ display of patience. Jez was out in the penultimate over but the job was done. With regular availability the strongest possible As side could have been a match for most teams in the division. With the forced vast turnover of players, defeat was usually inevitable. So the target for next year must be a more settled side that can develop and grow.

The 1st XI achieved its most successful season in the club’s recent history by winning 15 out of the possible 16 games and achieving back-to-back promotions. This included a 14 game winning streak to gain promotion by the end of July with the club achieving a staggering 174 points. This was a true team effort with players standing up to the challenges when needed most. Mark Wagh scored 481 runs and returned 35 wickets with his impressive off spin but more importantly he had a huge influence on the team off the field with his insightful and knowledgeable view of the game. Pick of the bowlers was left arm spinner Dan Chant taking 39 wickets in only 13 games, demonstrating that spin is the key to Cranleigh’s success and will continue to be in years to come. The team will look to carry on its recent success in 2013 and with a couple of new additions will look to do well in Div 2. The changing culture of cricket at CCC has made this a year of growth within the 2nd XI. The season started slowly with some poor performances against some strong opposition. With so many of the squad at university it was left up to the old guard to hold it together. Marius Henderson, ex-captain, bowled like he was 17 again, Stuart Martin batting like Atherton on day 1 of a test match, Luke Palmer putting in the usual century appearance before making some fantastic fielding displays and David Lane after 20 years of cricket as a batsman became a bowler taking a 7wicket haul. By mid season the team had put in some promising displays and with players back from university the side started to play the Cranleigh way. Superb individual performances from Chris Preece, Dan Chant, Paddy Harman, Josh Cummings, Leo Coldman, Jay Harman, Will Riply, Max Barson and Seren Walters all helped the Cranleigh cause and promotion was a real possibility. Sadly the British weather had the final say with two of the last five games called off.

Dorking 1st XI had a good but ultimately disappointing year in Div 5 finishing fourth with a total of 10 wins from 16 games completed. The early part of the season indicated that Dorking would be strong contenders for promotion but a mid-season stumble and some terrible interference from the weather saw the team’s chances go down the drain. Dorking had its normal star performers with Nick Lee hitting 653 runs at 59.36, Jordan Rollins scoring 447 at 37.25 and Rob Chave chipping in with 313 runs. With the ball Dorking were consistently strong; the bowling attack being led by Francis Chadwick who claimed a personal best of 40 wickets in a season at 13.45 and an economy rate of 2.65. Francis was the stand-out performer and during the season he was backed up with some brilliant fast bowling from Jordan Rollins and Kamau Leverock. Varun Sethi did a great job holding up one end for most of the season before returning home for the birth of his first child. Dorking look forward to 2013 with a strong, young team. Captain Ben Overton would like to thank everyone who played for the club. Following third-place in 2011 Dorking 2nd XI entered 2012 in high spirits and the majority of their impressive team intact. The team started with the second highest total of the season, 233 which saw off Old Emanuel with every player chipping in. From this point on Dorking were led by inspirational skipper Tom Chisman as Scott Kelsey was required in the 1st XI. The message in the front of everyone’s mind was promotion and a well earned winning draw at Staines & Laleham ensued as Dorking played the better cricket. This was followed by a fantastic victory over talented Cranleigh by 4 wickets. Dorking were looking at a large run chase before 15 year old Surrey prospect Will Perreira returned his best figures of the season of 4-40. Requiring 209, leading run scorer Chris Thurgood (301 at 43) contributed 52 and the ever improving Toby Blood 53. A further winning draw at Hampton Wick increased the unbeaten streak as the team did everything within its power to win the game, Thurgood claiming back-to-back fifties, this time three shy of a hundred. A wake-up call was then imposed by the bowling attack of Guildford City. Dismissing the visitors for 147, Dorking capitulated to 73 all out. July put the promotion drive back on course starting with an enthralling win over Woodmansterne. Godalming were soundly beaten as 165 played 58; leading wicket taker Chris Ward (21 wickets at 17) claiming 4-21 with Andy Homewood 4-0. Comfortable victories over Emanuel and Hamptonians followed and then a season’s best of 252 at Guildford City was followed by skittling them for 85 with second leading wicket taker Ian Gregg (20 wickets at 15) capturing 4-16. Hampton Wick travelled to Pixham in the searing heat as a magnificent six-wicket win was produced to go top; Andy Homewood closing down the game with 73*. Victory at Godalming would ensure the division championship. Ward, Homewood and Duncan Lane were the hosts’ nemeses as they made a meagre 58 once again. Dorking knocked this off in 15 overs and claimed the division with one game to spare. Only two defeats all season proved the squad worthy winners, with a blend of experience, youth and a fantastic team ethos. With the runs Thurgood led the way; Matt Homewood scored 254 at 18, skipper Chisman made 238 at 22, Andy Homewood 212 at 27 and Rob Wycherley 183 at 37. Ian Gregg and Chris Ward went neck and neck all season for leading wicket taker, Andy Homewood claimed 16 at 12, Steve Quinn 10 at 13 and David Young along with Duncan Lane returned eight apiece. Special thanks to Colin Burn, Steve Kreuchen, Peter Jeall, Alison Pavey and the Brookers.

The 1st XI struggled all summer; only a final-day win over Purley prevented a swift return to Div 2. The season got off to a damp start with the first match rained off followed by ominous defeats at the hands of Old Whitgiftians and Spencer but then came a purple patch with three successive victories which briefly lifted morale. Richard Farrow’s unbeaten 105 and South African overseas player James Price’s all- round contribution of 59 and 4-19 were the highlights of an exciting run chase against Cheam. Brook were defeated and a week later Purley put to the sword. Price took 6-29 as Purley were dismissed for a mere 54 and the runs knocked off quickly without loss. This was as good as it got though. Apart from a close draw with Valley End, when Farrow struck an excellent 157, and a narrow three-run loss at home to East Molesey, the team gave a number of indifferent performances and suffered a run of defeats. To make matters worse, the points gained from the victory over Brook were subtracted. Then, the penultimate game against Beddington ended in a deflating one- wicket defeat when the opposition were awarded six penalty runs due to Dulwich’s slow over-rate. Fortunately, the team found some form for the crunch match with Purley. A more disciplined bowling display restricted the visitors to 196-8 and safety was ensured with a comfortable 5-wicket victory. Farrow was the Player of the Season with an impressive run tally of 538 at 53. Otherwise, the batting was disappointing and often brittle. Price (285 at 21) reached 200 runs. Of the bowlers, Price (28 wickets at 20) and the much-improved Chris Lester (21 at 18) were the most successful. If Dulwich are to improve in 2013 and further maintain their Div 1 status, the squad must show a better attitude and practise more regularly. Special thanks to John Lewis for his immaculate scoring and support. Having flirted with relegation the year before, the 2nd XI experienced another difficult season and this time there was no escaping the drop. Rain forced the cancellation of the first two fixtures and when the team finally got into action they made a disastrous start, bundled out by Malden Wanderers for a paltry 40 to lose by nine wickets. Two more heavy defeats followed and the writing was on the wall. The batting was misfiring badly and only at home to Weybridge was a total approaching 200 attained, but a badly needed victory eluded them as the opposition’s last pair held out for a draw. Skipper Zakir Rostami stood down in mid-season and under replacement captain Gareth Cornick the performances and results eventually improved. But the improvement came too late to stave off relegation and victories in two of the last four completed games against Sunbury and Weybridge were in vain. There were few individual performances to write home about. One exception was Cornick’s aggregate of 362 runs at 45. He was by far the most consistent batsman, although James Bridgland recorded some useful scores lower down the order as well as capturing 18 wickets. Arshad ‘Bobby’ Iftikhar (21 at 19) was the leading wicket-taker. The team hope that the spell in Div 1 will be a short one and a recharging of the batteries will lead to a serious promotion challenge in 2013. In contrast to the club’s two senior sides, the 3rd XI enjoyed a very successful 2012 and ran Wimbledon a close second for the Premier Division title. After losing to the eventual champions at the beginning of June, they were always playing catch-up and congratulations go to Wimbledon on a well-deserved triumph. The team were dominant in the limited over format, winning eight out of nine games (the vital return fixture with Wimbledon at the end of August being halted by the weather before tea). Success proved harder to come by in the timed matches, only three of which were won and as many lost. Nevertheless these provided a couple of memorable finishes, losing to Sutton by two runs and beating Malden Wanderers by an identical margin. No centuries were recorded (the highest individual score being Sam Adcock’s 94 against Sutton) but most of the batsmen scored freely with Oliver Steward (333 at 37) and Ed Matten (246 at 61) leading the way. Several fine bowling figures were recorded with Richard Linfield (8-20 vs. Banstead) and Rupert Hartley (7-44 vs. Beddington) producing the best of them. 18 year-old Ram Rethinasamy spearheaded the attack. He was ever present and took 19 wickets in total.

56 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Having finished fourth and second in successive years, Simon Leather’s 3rd XI will be aiming to go one better in 2013, although Wimbledon may have other ideas! The 4th XI showed they were in no mood to relinquish their status as Premier Division champions. A storming first half of the season saw them back in pole position and, after a blip at Spencer when they were dismissed for only 41 and well beaten, the team soon regained top form. August brought four straight wins and the last of these at old rivals Wimbledon, on a day when it appeared to rain just about everywhere else, clinched the title for the second year in a row. The last two games were lost, but this was probably a case of ‘after the Lord Mayor’s Show’. New captain Simon Bailey’s squad was strong in all departments. Raj Tulsiani’s 291 runs at 48 included an awesome knock of 154 at Ashtead, and Charlie Kemp, Paul McGowan and Julian Dean were the other main run getters. Evergreen medium pacer Kanak Patel displayed his usual control and guile taking the bowling honours with 16 wickets at 12, whilst David Begg, Prasanna Callaghan and Mangal Nasiri also made significant contributions to a formidable attack. A number of younger players showed promise during the latter part of the season and if they continue to develop the 4th XI could make it a hat-trick in 2013.

At the start of the season the main aim for the 1st XI was to try and stay in the First division; however with some solid cricket and winning the last four games with bonus points meant the team finished in second place and achieved promotion to the Premier Division. The season got off to a great start with a win over Cheam when all other games in the division were rained off and then followed it up with a win against Valley End. After a few average performances at the halfway stage the team knew a couple of good wins would mean a chance of promotion but a couple of bad losses would mean fighting at the bottom end of the table. There was a great win against Ashtead which put the team on the right track and then winning the last four games meant it was enough for promotion. The limited overs format turned out to be by far the strongest format for the team with 6 wins out of 7, which included winning the last 4 games. The team achieved promotion through having a great team spirit, different players contributing performances throughout the season and a gritty determination to set totals, chase totals and not to get beaten. There were three losing draws against Whitgiftians, Cheam and Valley End which highlighted the battling spirit of the team, when in the past the team would have been beaten easily. These three points turned out to be crucial; finishing level on points with Ashtead. There were fine contributions and performances from the team throughout, Glynn, Lawford, Barrett, Burge and Cairns all passing 280 runs, H Glynn's 100 against Whitgiftians was also a highlight. Glynn, Paxton, Campbell, Westphall, Bernardes all getting at least 16 wickets. N Stevens had a good season behind the stumps on his return with 16 dismissals. There was also real quality batting from overseas player Henry Nicholls who ended up with 425 runs. A big thanks to K Burge, Barrett and H Glynn for helping with some of the duties that made captaining a lot easier, also thanks to scorer Sam Jarvis. The Club is looking forward to 2013 in the Premier Division It was a tough season for EMCC 2nd XI, with availability and a jump in standard being the two main culprits. The season started well with solid performances in the 50 over cricket, with notable efforts from Adam Potter with the bat and Gavin McMillian with the ball. In previous seasons the 100 over cricket had been the 2’s strength; this season however this was not the case, with some very tight games going against the side, notably the losses vs. Banstead and Trinity. With a poor run of games the side found themselves in a relegation battle, and it was a game vs. Spencer away that changed the side’s fortunes. EMCC managed to defend a low total, thanks to the remarkable bowling performance from Trevor Brown (7-15). The back end of the season saw the side return to some of its early season form with good wins against Beddington and Ashtead, with excellent batting performances from Ben Duerden and Chris Haynes. Luke Vanoli Salmon and Adam Potter also shared a record stand of 230 in a game vs. Banstead. Without 57 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports question the player of the season was Adam Potter, topping the league batting stats, with 499 runs. In the end the 2s managed to stay up, and hopefully will be able to build upon this going into next season and emulate the performance of the 1st XI and join them in the Premier League. Lack of players was a hindrance at the start of the season which left the 3rd XI in the relegation zone until the last few games. With improvement in availability, performances picked up in the second half of the season leading to a 14th place finish out of 18. Thanks must be given to all the players who helped out during the season. The team was especially grateful to Dave Mistry, Elliot Goodman, Rangana de Silva, Pal Sarai and Darius Burge for playing in the majority of games. There were some good bowling performances by Billy Dawson and Pal Sarai who took 16 wickets each closely followed by Mickey Strang, 14 wickets and Alistair Doughty, 13 wickets. Alistair Doughty achieved his first 5 wicket haul in the game against Hampton Wick Royal. Runs came from Alistair Doughty (279), Darius Burge (252), Rangana de Silva (246) and Billy Dawson (222). Congratulations to Mark Collins on his first century in the game against Old Wimbledonians. Special mention must also be made of Billy Dawson, Elliot Goodman, Mickey Strang and Alistair Doughty, all young colts, who performed admirably. No 4th XI report was submitted.

The 1st XI ended the season in 5th place in Div 4, following a season of consolidation after two poor seasons. Led by new captain Jamie Powell, the team won 7 games out of 16 which was a huge improvement over the previous campaign. David Risk led the way with the bat, scoring 345 runs at an average of 28.75 and he was supported by Jamie Powell, Chris Douglas and the promising Matthew Main, all of whom contributed around 240 runs. On the bowling front honours were shared by newcomer Ryan Dennis and Doug Naylor, in his first full season of 1st team cricket. They took 23 wickets apiece, both at an average of 13.3. Stefan Kaltner also took 20 wickets at 17.25. Catching was, perhaps, the area where the team did not perform to the best of their abilities and failed to support some periods of excellent bowling. Apart from the ever-reliable Risk (13 catches) there were far too many memorable drops for comfort – something to work on for next season. Thanks to Debbie for scoring and also to Janet and the whole family for the wonderful teas, which are always much appreciated by players and umpires alike. The 2nd XI season did not really get started. The excuses of weather (one of the worst in memory), the Olympics for giving us a mid-season break and the usual issues surrounding availability are still relevant. The side had a reasonable season finishing fourth in the division, winning 8 of the 15 matches played, but without any consistency. Two vital fixtures lost were against Addiscombe, losing by one wicket in the first game and nine runs in the second. If these two games had been won promotion was assured. Scoring runs was the main stumbling block to promotion and the top six really need to put their hands up with only J Hamilton (322) and James Sprackling (297) scoring runs of any note. The bowling was again useful without being spectacular, with any bowler showing promise swiftly getting promoted to the 1st XI. The pick of the bowling was J Hamilton (44) and Amod Pandit (22) picking up the majority of the victims. If, on occasions, the catching had been up to scratch more wickets would have fallen. Thanks go to all those players who consistently make themselves available for the club and indeed it was noticeable that the Player of the Year was Trevor Baldry who played for any side, home or away without audible complaint! Being one of the strongest sides in this division for two seasons the 2nd XI should really have gone up. Egham 3rd XI had a mixed year of results. The team won 4 out of the first 8 games, gaining 53 points at the halfway mark. Due to availability and the requirements of higher XIs, the team had a lean second half of the season. The 3s played with a positive spirit and had some excellent results, in particular very encouraging displays by youngsters, all good signs for the future of the Club. One of the best performances was against Old Whitgiftians. After winning the toss and batting, the team

58 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports were all out after 31 overs for a disappointing 131 runs. At 123-5 from 23 overs, Old Whitgiftians looked to be cruising to an easy victory, but enter Richard Lewis and Neil Herbert for some devastating overs. Old Whits were dismissed for 128 in 25.3 overs; Lewis returning figures of 9.3 overs, 5 for 32, and Herbert 6-0- 24-3. These two were ably supported in the attack by Ryan Anderson and Rohit Moudgil, and some excellent fielding. Top run scorers for the year were Herbert (204 runs at 22.67), Moudgil (203 at 25.38) and Chris Nash (192 at 24). Leading wicket takers were Lewis (6 wickets), Gavin Byrom (14) and Herbert (10). Harry Skinner (5) and Anderson (4) also impressed. Jamie Scudder showed how good he is with several excellent displays of glovework. The last game against Chessington was played at the main ground; Chessington were set a total of 242 off 50 overs. Fine batting displays from Mougil (66), Mark Watmore (20), Neil Herbert and Graeme Anderson scoring 53 runs each, meant Chessington would have to fight hard to stave off relegation. The game went to the very last ball and it took an astonishing catch in the gully from Anderson to seal the 55 run win. Sights such as the celebration at the end highlighted the team’s spirit. The team looks forward to 2013, reflecting on 2012 as a season that could have been better. 2012 started well with a 4th XI team similar to the previous year. Things then started to change and there were calls for players to move up to higher XIs. As the saying goes, ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ and once again the Club was able to tap into the fantastic colts division and give opportunities to those colts that were ready to make the step up to senior cricket. Batting highlights of the season were few but one person did shine, Ram Bala. The bowling was largely shared between Michael Hawes, Dane Gilmour, Phil Robson and Chloe Russell who all bowled well. As normal, due to demands from the higher XIs, the side called upon some up and coming colts and they were not let down with players like Dane Gilmour, Jake Pooley and Michael Hawes. All stood up to the task and proved themselves to be more than ready for senior cricket; all with a great future ahead of them. The 4th XI is very proud that 3 of last year’s colts have become key players in the 3rd XI this year; Harry Skinner, Toby Prior and Jamie Scudder. Special thanks to David Hawes who has become the unofficial 4th XI scorer and does such a great job. The batting highlights were Bala (280 runs at 16.47) and bowling Robson with an average of 13.86 and a best of 6 for 44, Hawes (average 10.3 – best 4 for 5) and Gilmour (average 16.88 – best 5 for 54). There were also 2 bowlers who deserve a mention for bowling their hearts out and also doing a fantastic job; Chloe Russell and Pooley. Thanks to everyone who made this season as enjoyable and as special as ever. Thanks to everyone behind the scenes at Egham CC who make it possible for the team to enjoy cricket every weekend during the season. Without these people there would be no Egham CC.

A finish of 7th place was a disappointing but fair reflection of an inconsistent season for the 1st XI. Top run scorer was ‘Pubs’ Chandresakara (329) with Will Moore (304) and Ben Hudson (283) close behind. Half centuries came from Phil Edwards (83), Andy Hewitson (50) and Mark Collin (58), with some good knocks from Messrs Lowe, Waters and Fairlie-Clark. Chandresakara (36 wkts for 390 runs) led the bowlers too, with strong support from strike bowlers Dayle Honess (20 for 475) and Collin (17 for 309). Veterans Moore and Zeb had some great spells and youngsters Somerford, Hughes, Haq-Jan and Abeywickrama looked ready for more at this level. Outfielding and catching was generally good and Fairlie-Clark did some fine glove work securing 15 victims. Thanks to Tony Edwards for scoring and for his support off the field. Many thanks also to the tea ladies for their fine food Finishing 7th reflected a mixed season for Epsom 2nd XI with Skipper Luke Hudson topping the batting but only with 230 runs, with contributions from Rob Anderson (185), Asim Zeb (181), Brian Cook (175), Jack Waters (174) and Raj Abywickrama (158). The bowling was more consistent with Aaron Somerford taking top spot with 25 wickets for 324 runs, followed by Anderson (20 for 479), Nasir Essa (20 for 458) and Fazal HaqJan (16 for 462). Not championship winning form, but then again staying in the Premier Division

59 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports for a fourth consecutive season, not a disaster. Thanks to Dave Dulam for offering his umpiring talents and the lovely tea ladies. Epsom 3rd XI had a great season but fell two places short of the promotion slots having lost one too many games during the season. Without being able to field the same 11 players on consecutive weeks, the balance was always going to be testing as Joey Burke used 37 players throughout the season! Farooq Mangal in his first season hit 370 runs, Zee Khan (214), Kamal Desai (208) with fourth best batsmen being Tim Morrison with only 150 runs. All-rounder Morrison also contributed well by claiming 29 wickets with the ball, as Jimmy Finch picked up 26. A sign of why so many games were lost is perhaps because the next highest wicket-taker was Pinky Tailor who took just 13. In the field, Mangal and Krish Nath managed to hold six catches apiece, with Morison and Khan each holding four. Burke took seven, plus five stumpings to show there is some magic left in them there gloves (not much). With an eye on the future, Luke Tuck bowled admirably, promoted from the 4s, but batsmen, Sam Gowar, Sam Chinn, Conor Bracken (when not shopping!), Matt Dunn and Sam Eccles all need to step up to the plate next season if they are going to be the future of the club. Special thanks to Dud our umpire, ‘Mr Stats’ scorer and report writer Mike T and especially Helen Brent and her tea ladies who adequately refreshed the lads! This was the 4th XIs third season in the league and the side gained promotion, in style, to the coveted Premier Division giving the club something to cheer about in an otherwise poor season. Since the 4th XI was grabbed by the scruff of the neck in 2010 by Mark Honess and Majid Azam, it has developed into a well-oiled machine, narrowly missing promotion behind Cheam in 2011. Despite losing Pinkesh Tailor, Jamie Finn and Sam Gowar to Joey Burke's 3rd XI, the team flourished....and how. In came Sam Chinn a promising ex-colt, Pete Callender from the 3s topping the bowling with 14 victims and the most successful addition to the side notably Ali Hasan-Butt who hit 480 runs (290 in 4th XI league) turning several games in favour of Epsom with his batting performances. He was assisted with notable innings from Sam Chinn (144 runs) and Paul Goodliffe (169 runs); with Athar Siddiqui (13 wickets) supporting the bowling line up. Mahendra Patel started behind the stumps but in the latter weeks took over the skippering from Mark Honess who had footballing commitments, so a new keeper, the ever excitable and dependable Mohit Vakharia took over the gloves. Andy Macnab (117 runs), always ‘Mr Calm’, opened with Mahendra providing solid partnerships throughout, with all the youngsters offering keen sharpness in their fielding during the season. Majid Azam made a mid season move to skipper a newly formed 5th XI which will hopefully enter the league next season as Epsom Woodcote, to continue success at Epsom in the Central Division, with a colt biased side eager to play adult cricket and develop into fine cricketers under his leadership.

The 1st XI just missed out on promotion, losing dramatically at home to Trinity by 5 runs when a win would have secured 2nd place. An 8th wicket partnership of 93 between skipper Derek Lane (82) and strike bowler Khurram Irshad (38*) was not quite enough to drag Esher over the line but from a position of 140-7 chasing 245 it was a fine effort and took the promotion places literally down to the last ball of the season; Esher failing to get the six needed to win promotion! Two close defeats in August to Worcester Park and Leatherhead are where the league title was lost. Great fighting spirit was shown in trying to defend low scores in both these games but with a bit more application with the bat not just second place but the title was there for the taking. Stand out performers were the consistent Khurram Irshad (league top wicket taker) with 55 wickets at 11.5 leading the attack and overseas player Sohail Ahmed (league top run scorer) with 786 runs at 49 and 15 wickets at 24. Derek Lane had a solid all round season (381 runs at 35 and 25 wickets at 15). New arrival Mark Hopkinson also made consistent contributions opening the batting (376 at 25). Gary Butcher (238 at 29.75) and Paul Harrison (196 at 28) joined the team full time half way through the season and they gave an exciting look to the top six. Finally, Grant Meadows had another good season behind the stumps, taking 24 more dismissals including 20 catches. This takes him to 290 catches in the Surrey Championship and puts him into 2nd place

60 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports in the all time list overtaking Esher’s own Peter Clare-Hunt who took 285. The club will be hoping that the experience of being in and around the promotion places for most of the season will stand them in good stead in 2013 for another tilt at promotion. Esher 2nd XI had a successful season racking up 103 points and finished 4th in Div 2. Half way through the season such a finish seemed a long way off as the batsmen failed to deliver in tough conditions. With some mid season application and the return of younger members of the squad from education, the team were able to back up the bowlers and the performances went from strength to strength. There were a number of memorable moments in the season; Neil Miller’s single handed destruction of Old Wimbledonians with 7 for 39, Tom McClean’s faultless 108* against Purley and Ejaz Hussein’s blazing 100* in a galling defeat to Bank of England. Mesome Hussein came into the team as a talented opening batsman and the 16 year old notched up an impressive 365 runs at 24.3 in a bowler friendly season. Everyone will be hoping that he can deliver on his potential next season with bat and ball. For successive seasons Jim Steven provided the ballast for a stuttering batting line up with 257 runs at 28.5. Led by Charlie Foster, Neil Miller and Ejaz Hussein the team bowled and fielded well all season. Charlie brought some much needed pace to the side and coupled with Neil and Ejaz’s controlled movement they have proven to be a handful for all comers this season. Nick Winder and Mesome Hussein are talented young spinners and with ‘golden arm’ Neil Fletcher, Andy Hayward and Henry Witten providing extra overs and Nick Woollhead snaffling victims behind the stumps the team is well balanced. With improved availability as the season went on, the team settled in to a winning habit and are well placed to build on the momentum of the summer and push for promotion next season. Huge thanks to Gary Furness for umpiring all season and to Sam Ryder for scoring at home for both 1st and 2nd XI. The 3rd XI recorded its highest percentage of wins in a season, 46%, since Esher started competing in the extended league format in 2006. Four of six victories came against teams that finished higher up the league with two victories being earned when 9 wickets were down! The side lost 3 games to the rain, as many as in the previous 6 seasons combined. The slow, low wickets and often sluggish outfields did not lend themselves to high team or individual scores, only three individual scores over 50 were recorded; Andy Wales with 142 (highest individual score in the league!), Guy Simpkin 78* and Callum Allbrook 68. Alex Burgess batted consistently all season at No. 3 whilst Dimitri Balasuriyar and Dave Schirn had invaluable knocks that won matches in tight finishes. The bowling remained the strength with wickets spread around; Dave Schirn (11 wickets), Mohammed Awais and Richard Harrison (10 each), Rashid (9) and Ahmed (8). Rashid and Matt McGuiness were the only bowlers with 5 wickets in a game, Rashid with figures of 5 for 4 and Matt, in his one match with 5 for 20! In total 28 players bowled, with the wickets not lending themselves to spin all season the seamers enjoyed the conditions most. The team finished 10th in the league securing a place in Div 2 of the 3rd XI league for 2013. During the season 44 players represented the 3rd XI compared to 50 in 2011. Whilst a smaller pool of players made selection a bit precarious, 17 players played only one match. The team benefited from a strong core of players whose commitment to the club is greatly appreciated. Many thanks go to all who played and supported and to Dimi acting as vice-captain with great enthusiasm and skill. Ideally the team will be in a position to nurture the more promising juniors to ensure another competitive and enjoyable season in 2013.

The 2012 season was a tough campaign for the 1st XI. Very poor availability, combined with the loss of a couple of players, and the captain’s inability to win a toss, proved very difficult to win, or at least draw games. The season began with promise; 2 wins, and couple of very narrow defeats to Old Hamptonians and Old Rutlishians, showed the ability of a young first team, however the rest of the season ended up a damp squib in more ways than one. Outplayed on more than one occasion, the team was always second best when it counted, and failing to post scores over 150 regularly hampered progress. Overall 25 players were used, which shows just how availability hampered the season. As usual Michael Barnes showed his class, scoring freely most weeks. Captain Luke Edwards, bowling consistently well all season, and Matt Jaggard, battling with conditions at the top of the order, were unable to win games on

61 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports their own. Next season will mean others have to step up to the plate and show their true ability. This season saw debuts for 2 promising youngsters. Seamer Tom Johanson and batsman Ryan Luf will both be looking to earn regular 1st team spots next season. A special mention has to go to Kevin Holcombe who at the ripe old age of 43, made his first team league debut on the last weekend away at Egham. As a whole Farncombe need to learn from this season, reflect, and come back stronger, both individually and as a team if they are to succeed in the 2013 season. Thanks go to all the tea ladies throughout the season and to Rosie Holcombe for scoring at most home games.

On the final day of the season Farnham 1st XI travelled to Pyrford, having all but abandoned any hope of promotion after a crushing defeat to Worcester Park the previous week left them trailing in fourth place. It was with great surprise and elation when, having scraped through to a 3-run victory, news arrived that both Park and Esher had lost to allow Farnham to be promoted back to Div 1. It has been some road to recovery for Farnham after successive relegations in 2007 and 2008 when the bulk of the team built up at the start of the millennium all moved on. The past few years have seen a period of consolidation during which the club has invested in both its ground and local talent as a new squad has emerged. While the Hicks brothers and Tom Caines remain from the Premier Division days, this experience is now bolstered by players who live locally and have come through the youth system. Far from relying on a few players – and without an overseas player this term – this year’s success has been founded on a full squad ethic and the team pulling together when needed. No one player has stood out but on most occasions enough has been done to get over the line. Of course, if success is to be had in Div 1 then individuals will need to find better form. In a difficult season for all, only Ciaran Rooney performed above expectation to claim the batting award while all the bowlers except for Tom Hicks came away with fewer wickets than in recent years. The sense of team spirit truly was the key to the promotion run and, if this is the case, then perhaps the epitome of this, wicketkeeper Matthew Godden, stands out for special mention: his fine glove-work and endless effervescence often made the difference. Eventually Farnham managed to claim seven victories in the timed format with another four in the limited overs matches. They remained unbeaten at home with only Walton managing a tie in one of the best games seen at the Park in recent years. The key wins came in rain-affected clashes with Leatherhead and Worcester Park; both low-scoring affairs where Farnham showed their selflessness and willingness to fight through in grim circumstances. This same camaraderie and desire to get on the field of play to win will be required more than ever next year but with a blossoming squad of young players and strong competition for places, there is much optimism at Farnham Park. Early season it was the senior players who held the 2nd XI in the middle of the division with a win and a tie. When timed cricket arrived, a draw with Molesey was followed by two crushing defeats before Walton’s total was surpassed. This was followed by a great all-round team performance at Beddington in an excellent 7-wicket win. Banstead were then beaten but pressure returned with defeat to bottom club Walton. It came as a timely reminder of the need to focus. Trinity were comfortably defeated and then came a crucial match against relegation threatened Spencer when victory and safety were secured in the final over. A last day win over champions Ashtead meant the XI had won seven games and incredibly finished 3rd in the division having played a relegation decider the week before! Runs were hard to come by; Alan Thorpe top scored with 240 at an average of 60 but no other batsmen made 200 runs in total. However, many made vital contributions: Toby Raper scored the only century and three other players made 50+, Christian Jason, Nathan Thorpe and Tom Grimes. Ian Thorpe again finished as leading wicket-taker with his slows, although only 19 suicidal victims this year! Special mention should go to the “spinners” Grimes and Alec Goldsworthy. Will O’Meara led the seamers and bowled superbly all season taking 17 wickets at an average of 14, the returning Cameron had best figures of 7-48 and George Osborne also deserves a mention. Thanks go to Malcolm Kirkland for turning out at short notice and claiming two sets of 5-21. The fielding was usually of a high standard and peaked in the final few weeks with keeper Joel Walker leading by example; 9 catches plus 10 stumpings. Finally, special thanks to Mrs T (Mum) for another season on the book, to Dave Marshall, Dave

62 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Goldsworthy and Mr T (Dad) for umpiring and to Carol for her excellent teas. Availability again blighted the 3rd XI’s quest to remain in the Championship. The batting performances in the first half of the season and failure to bat through the allotted overs were to prove the side’s undoing. There were two centuries in the season, from George Hellyer when ill and Dan Matthews (134) but not enough consistency from others. The mainstay of the bowling was Dominic Lloyd; who bowled consistently well and was rewarded with 20 wickets at an average of 10 and was ably supported by Tom Blackburn, Dave Goldsworthy and Dan Jones. The future for the 3rd XI is bright with the young talent emerging. Special mention goes to keepers Russell Golding and Ollie Godden both who have played regularly throughout a difficult season. Geoff Thorpe would like to thank all those who played for and supported the side and especially the tea ladies and will look forward to cricket, albeit in the Fullers league, for 2013.

2012 was a tough season for Godalming 1st XI and for new captain Harri Mayne. The retirement of the prolific Harry Hall, the loss of opening bowler Sam Tunbridge to Normandy along with some truly shocking availability, left Mayne with a serious challenge. However, at no point did he allow it to affect his batting and he remains one of the best in the division: 596 runs at almost 40 including 137* vs. Mitcham plus three other 50s showed his quality. Unfortunately he had little support with only Derek Agge (352 at 23) getting past 250 runs. Wicket-keeper James Clarke showed some promise with two 50s, his first at 1st team level and Nigel Churaman rolled back the years with an undefeated 100 against Kingstonians As with all cricket, the small things make a big difference. Very tight games against Kingstonians twice, Sinjuns and then Oxted in a rain affected game, were all opportunities lost. Seam bowling remained a problem all year, veterans John Milner and Churaman doing most of the work. Milner collected 25 at 15, including five wicket hauls against the promoted sides; 5-63 vs. Oxted and 5-42 vs. Kingstonians. Then, with Milner injured in the latter part of the season, young all-rounder George Stow stepped up with some sensible batting and four wicket hauls against Dorking and Hampton. Godalming can boast more spinners than most but they all found wickets hard to come by in what proved to be one of the wettest seasons anyone could remember! Many thanks go to the umpires Alan Stephenson and John Allen along with scorer Helen Ross for their hard work. Also thanks to the tea ladies, in particular Sonia Tinseau, and groundsman John Milner. Here's looking forward to some sun next year. The 2nd XI season started as poorly as can be remembered when the 2s found themselves 8-5 chasing 157 at Staines & Laleham. Despite reaching a more respectable 109 by the close, the early batting collapse set the tone. The first victory came in the next match, away at Old Emanuel, thanks mainly to the left arm swing of Richie Linegar who took 6-21. A couple of defeats to Hamptonians and Cranleigh followed, before a home win against Woodmansterne thanks to strong performances with the ball from the evergreen pair of Linegar (5-21) and Simon Steel (4-26). A run of games against the top three teams resulted in three heavy defeats as good bowling displays were again undermined by poor batting. The 2s finally got back to winning ways against Hamptonians after a promising innings from youngster George Dukes (38) helped set a target of 161. Steel was again instrumental in the reply, taking 6-50. That was to be the final success - four of the last five games were lost and the other was abandoned due to weather. Further batting collapses compounded a forgettable season for Godalming’s batsmen. However, Dukes shows real promise and should kick on with some big runs next season. Godalming’s Richie Linegar was the team’s star performer, leading the way in the bowling and batting averages. His ability to swing the ball both ways delivered 23 wickets at 20 and, in a telling statistic, was the only batsman to pass 200 runs, ending with 265 at 24. Off-spinner Simon Steel was effective despite unfavourable conditions, taking 21 at 21. Carsten Horne bowled economically, and seamer Christian Hale took 8 at 16 in between bouts of back pain. Thanks go to John Allen and Alan Stephenson for umpiring, Ali Brookman and Nick Horne for scoring, Sonia Tinseau for producing the best teas in the league and John Milner for producing a wicket worthy of the County Championship.

Guildford 1st XI enjoyed their most successful season for 6 years to finish fifth. New captain-coach Jeremy Greaves brought energy and organisation to the team, starting with 4 victories. The timed games proved a tougher challenge and Guildford soon slipped below halfway. Two late victories ensured the first top half finish since 2006. Six of the shorter matches were won but only 1 timed game, although that was a cracker as Chris Thompson's unbeaten century ensured victory at Reigate. Thompson's return to Guildford saw him finish with 392 runs while he bowled as quickly as anyone at times, not least in the stygian gloom at Sutton. Top scorers were newcomer Alex Senn (481) and opening partner Harry Stephens (481), whose remarkable 147 nearly fashioned a dramatic victory over Camberley chasing 372. The side lacked consistency and needed someone who could make 600-700 runs. The most consistent performer was hard-hitting Matt Teale, whose four 50s were all as entertaining as they were important, although he lost his way with the ball in mid-summer. Wicketkeeper Alex Nash (322) and Rob Jones (322) both played some valuable knocks while Nick French and youngster Ben Walter showed it will take a lot to keep them out of the side in 2013. Surrey all- rounder Tom Jewell contributed in all departments and the side was always stronger for his presence while wholehearted Tom Collins' figures did him less than justice. Guildford lacked a stock bowling seamer, which left spinners Joe Pipkin and Chris Coombs having to apply the brakes as well as taking wickets, they finished with 23 and 25 wickets. Stephens proved a threat as the second off-spinner in the second half of the summer. Greaves was unselfish in his own role and led by example in the field. Nash again showed his sublime glovework and his departure to become a pilot was a sad moment in a season which, despite all the rain, had much to recommend it. After struggling through an ultimately successful promotion campaign in 2011, the 2nd XI was expecting a tough challenge in the Premier League this year. So to finish 4th in a year when the team saw more games lost to weather than most was a terrific achievement. The basis of Guildford's early season form was the ability to bowl sides out or heavily restrict their scoring opportunities. Phil Nichols (23 at 17) led a young, inexperienced seam attack with purpose all season, often bowling at the death to great effect. Another veteran, Richie Bowers, (20 at 20) showed his quality in the spin bowling department in a year where pitches were generally unhelpful for spin. He was ably backed up by Tom Shrives and young Jon French who regularly showed his potential. The batting was again dominated by two older players, Henry Straw (414 at 37) and Tom Bancroft (363 at 51) provided the backbone of most innings, with Bancroft really coming to the fore in the latter part of the season. Youngsters Tom Tremewan (261 at 23), Jack Cunningham (254 at 23) and Ben Walter (229 at 22) all showed glimpses of their potential during the season but will need to become more consistent. Another season in the top half of the league beckons for a talented side, however small mistakes need to be reduced and concentration maintained from the first to last game. As ever thanks go to Ed Bailey for his scoring and Peter Twitchen for his umpiring in 2012. The 3rd XI began their championship winning season away to Oxted & Limpsfield in very wet conditions, which became typical for the remainder of the season. A last over thriller ended in Guildford securing the winning runs, set up by a destructive 56 from Jack Cunningham and sealed by the returning Chad Murrin, scoring 33* to guide the side home. Throughout the season the strength of the Guildford bowling attack was unmatched by any opposition. Chris Weill was outstanding with 41 wickets at 9.3 and Dan Jones, effective as ever, collecting 22 scalps. There was also the promising acquisition of Dean Stenning with height and raw pace allowing him to finish with 15 wickets and a best of 6-18. Special mention should go to Kabir Pahar, who continues his promising development and was rewarded for accurate, hostile bowling with figures of 4-11 vs. runners up Weybridge. On the batting front Tim Walter displayed his class and experience finishing with 374 runs at 37.4 including an unbeaten 92 which helped to secure the only losing draw Guildford had all season. Whilst

64 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports some more seasoned onlookers complained over the strike rate it was undoubtedly key in ensuring Guildford remained on course to finish as champions. Brett Hosking was a standout batsman scoring 332 at 41 and his top score of 75* was vital in ensuring a winning draw against Walton. Tim Goodman also enjoyed the extra responsibility of captaincy in returning 213 runs for the year. On the fielding front, the 3rd XI was excellent all season with great energy in the field, even from the ageing limbs of Tim Walter. This was helped by the wicket keeping of 15 year old Harry Jones, who was excellent behind the stumps all year and had a top score of 44 vs. Weybridge. With their domination in Division 1 in the 2012 season, the 3rd XI look forward to the 2013 season in the Premier with great anticipation. This was a pleasing season for the 4th XI, as promotion was finally achieved after finishing runners up in their previous two attempts. Since joining the league the aim of the 4th XI has been to introduce colts to adult cricket. This aim was achieved with the club playing at least four players under the age of 16 each week. A number have been involved since the first season and it is with pride that the club has witnessed their growing maturity, particularly with the bat, and watched them as they move on to play at higher levels. With 3 more wins than last year and 2 nail biting defeats against Egham and Hampton Wick Royal the team aimed to push hard for a result in every game. The side had luck this year, playing some games when others were rained off, but overall the team were deserving winners of the league with 3 more wins than the nearest rivals. The batting was dominated this season by Grant Russell (411 at 58). With three U15s averaging 30 or over, the batting department looks to have potential to score runs, whilst Andy Green and Philip Hodgson continue to provide the runs when needed. With Mike Tilley (21 wickets at 7.62) being supported by the father/son combination of Alex (14 at 19.57) and Andy Green (16 at 12.88) the side rarely struggled to take wickets. Wickets were evenly distributed amongst the bowlers this season, a huge team effort. It was the team ethic this season that was most noticeable; each week when in a spot of bother one of the players stood up, scoring runs or taking wickets. The side moves on to the Premier League with eager anticipation as this will be a far sterner test. If the improvement shown over the last two years continues there is no reason why the team should not be able to hold its own.

This was a successful year for Guildford City as the 1st XI finally obtained promotion to the Ryman Surrey Championship after several years of missing promotion by a few points. The 2013 season is one to look forward to, especially if the weather is kinder than was the case in 2012. The 2nd XI obtained promotion a year earlier and consequently this was their first year playing at a higher level. The 2nd XI is primarily a young side. It had performed well in the Fullers League but there was some apprehension as to how it would perform in 2012. However they performed very well ending up in third place and missing promotion by only 2 points. This has demonstrated the potential of the side, many of whom will make the transition to the 1st XI in the near future. The team plays as a unit but particular mention should be made of the bowling attack of Mohammed Ali, Zia Ul Hassan, Asfand Khan and the brothers Sami and Zafar Khan. Ali Shah and Sajjad Mohammed performed well with the bat. Asfand Khan captained the side very competently; this side has only lost three matches in three years. This was the 3rd XI’s second 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 5th in the league. It was in contention for promotion for most of the season but slipped back as a result of player unavailability and the playing issues caused by Ramadan. Ahmed Iqbal performed consistently well with the bat and established the basis for most of the innings. Mention must also be made of Mohammed Hussain who performed well with both bat and ball and the effective bowling of Asif Hussain. Captaincy was shared between Amir Mohammed and Waheed Aktar who must be thanked for consistently providing eleven players often at extremely short notice.

HWRCC 1st XI had a rewarding season with drama and interest to the last. Newly promoted, new challenges did not seem to be a problem; a lack of focus in the early games cost the team matches that would have been won hands down last year – undone mainly by batting collapses and poor fielding. Eventually the relatively new-look side started to click, finishing with a run of 7 wins out of 8 which catapulted the team into promotion contention, only to fall at the penultimate hurdle to Oxted & Limpsfield. In truth, the 1s underperformed all season but somehow managed to finish 4th in what was a rollercoaster season with 6 very close results. Special mention to Kam Raza, whose miserly performances with the ball and numerous valuable innings proved why he is amongst the most valuable players in the league. Other performers with the bat included Alex Day, captain Matt Davies, young Finbar Murray (in a breakthrough year) and of course Nomaan Ali who - despite having a disappointing season by his high standards - still averaged 35. With the ball the team hunted in packs, the varied attack proving a real threat in varying conditions. At least one of the Tong's generally bowled well and Day, Ali and others took it in turn to stand out. Alex Dare deserves a mention for his 11 wickets at an economy rate of 3.8 – astonishing for a 14 year old spin bowler. As always, special mention to Keith Nicholls, Stephen Riley and Alison Whitcher who manfully (and womanfully) lent support throughout, and also to the balcony brigade who turned the Wick into a fortress just when that little bit extra was needed to get the side across the line. Best game - a last ball win away vs. Dorking. Best opposition - Dorking (in the same game!), but special mention to Oxted who outplayed us in the 'playoff' decider in the penultimate week. Hampton Wick Royal 2nd XI had a fantastic season under new captain Imran Rashid winning 10 games, suffering only 2 defeats and winning promotion to Div 4. Early on in the season a five game winning streak catapulted us to the top of the division; a position held until the match against Dorking, lost after a poor batting display. When the weather intervened the team had to wait for the last game to confirm promotion. The bowling attack was arguably the best in the division. Aqeel Ilyas and Fahad Tanveer took the new ball and shattered oppositions with pace and swing. Aqeel took 32 wickets at 10.41 including three 5 wickets hauls, and delivered his best analysis of the season taking 7-11 at Old Hamptonians. Fahad with his fiery pace was close behind with 24 wickets at 14.54 including one Michelle. There was also splendid support from Naveendra Weerakoon (10 Wickets), Ted Goodwin and Usman Junjua. Fielding as a team was an immense help to the bowling effort. There were some really good and significant contributions with the bat - captain Imran Rashid leading the way. Zohaak Tughral and Charlie High both are clean strikers of the cricket ball and scored brutal hundreds in crucial games and helped us to cross the finish line with ease. Robbie Oliver (solid technique) and Joe Hirsch (audacious) both stepped in with useful contributions when needed. The Guildford City encounter stood out. Bowled out for 122 in 32.5 overs on a very good batting track, team spirit, passion and self-belief took us to victory bowling them out for just 72 runs in 29 overs. Ed Charlton’s stunning slip catch epitomised the effort. So, overall, a very successful season with the team being well led by Imran Rashid and is now looking forward to the new challenges in 2013. The 3rd X1 had a positive start to its first season in Div 1, picking up 30 points from the opening 4 matches. Unfortunately it was not able to build on this largely due to injury and availability (44 players were used during the season). However, the side managed to battle through and, after a strong end to the season winning two of the last four games, was able to secure a respectable 10th place finish. The top performers were Charith Cabraal (24 wickets at 9.92) in his debut season for Hampton Wick and Nathan Singh, who accumulated 442 runs. There were encouraging performances from a number of colts especially the bowling of Jamie Craddock and Dan Kemp. Hopefully the team can build on this in 2013. The Wick’s debut season in 4th XI league cricket was such a great success, with demand for games so

66 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports high, that a 5th XI was created to soak up excess enthusiasm. The 4th XI in 2012 was a near perfect blend of promising colts, a handful of older players not quite ready for the golf course and players playing to prove fitness and ability before moving up the teams. It promises much for the future of the club. The young bowling attack led by the example of Phil Linter was at times unplayable, bowling five sides out for under 100 with Patrick McMullan, Oliver King, James Hoppe and Jack Smith, all young bowlers showing the potential to play 1st and 2nd XI cricket in the future. Batting was held together by the more experienced element of the team with Phil Miles and Marc Holland making contributions while talented youngsters James Dann and Cameron Bose shone when given their chance. The weight of runs came from elder statesman Nick Clark (335 at 55.82) giving the team a base to win thrilling encounters against Valley End and league winners Guildford in particular. As with all teams at this level it was the spirit of the team and the commitment of players that made the side so strong with the efforts of Mohit Bal, Charles Edmonds, Kirk Laight, Mike Collier, Dave Bendall and Phil Linter being of particular note. Skipper Adam Selves took on the difficult task of leading a diverse bunch of characters and talents with enthusiasm, quiet authority and no little success and bequeaths a strong ‘esprit de corps’ to his successor.

Having won promotion to Div 2 in 2011, the 1st XI was faced with a challenging task. The team, led by Jamal Khan for the third season, had a slow start, with the first two games rained off completely. Poor results and even poorer weather meant that it was the middle of the season before the side started to play to their potential, at one time winning four out of five matches. The highlight of the season came when Horsley defeated Leatherhead in an away fixture. Despite the interrupted season, opening bowler Shahid Khan (25 wickets) played consistently well and was ably supported by overseas player Riaz Kael who took 18 wickets and amassed 605 runs. Following last year’s promotion the team are content with a final mid table position, and look forward to consolidating their position next season. Thanks to scorers John Wood and Veronica Parr, to Mike Catt for preparing good pitches, and to the club for providing excellent facilities. The bad weather at the beginning of the 2012 season, and intermittent rain all summer affected the Horsley and Send 2nd XI’s attempt to be promoted to Div 3 after last year’s relegation. This ambition was not helped by the withdrawal of Carshalton before the start of the season, and that of Brook during the first half. With 11 possible games, Horsley and Send 2nd XI managed to win 4, draw 2 and lose 5 games and ended up a respectable fourth. Notable performances in bowling were from Ahmed Sheraz, Ahmed Anees, Hussain Abid and Kamaran Zahid., supported by valuable contributions in batting made by Vijay Bhaskar, Robert Micklewright, Nigel Angus and Nick Freeman. With this year’s balanced side, the 2nd XI looks forward to challenging for promotion in the 2013 season.

The 3rd XI season started in week three after two rain enforced cancellations. A heavy defeat at Purley despite 82 from Simon Arscott was followed by three further comprehensive losses and a change in

67 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports captaincy. A win at Esher after dismissing them for 46 on a good deck (Vishal Singh 5-22) kick started the campaign which was followed up with wins over Thames Ditton and Farnham with half centuries in each game for Tom Bovington. The rain returned to wipe out the next two games and kill the momentum with only a single point gained against Streatham (Nick Peters 6-56) and followed by thrashings against Sinjuns and Worcester Park where resources were stretched to the limit. The rain returned to force the abandonment of the penultimate game before the season concluded with a 10 wicket win at Staines & Laleham (Don Taylor 77, Wayne Morgan 55) which gives hope for better things in 2013. Wayne Morgan was the most productive batsman scoring 241 runs at 24, adapting well to his new role at the top of the order, whilst Trevor Warne 12 wickets at 11, Aaron Campbell 12 at 14 and Nick Peters 12 at 15 led the wicket takers. After a dreadful start the fielding steadily improved which certainly impacted on the improved results. With five games lost to the weather, the team was the worst affected in the league but the cricket played was enjoyable and played in a good spirit, maybe next season with better stability and improved availability an improvement on 12th place can be achieved. As ever, thanks go to groundsman Frank, tea ladies June, Jess and Daniella, a supportive and overworked Selection Committee and the sociable and sporting opponents. The 2012 season saw a new captain for the 4th XI and a new outlook. The season started with rain, of the first 6 games, 3 were abandoned to rain with 2 losses and a losing draw. The next month saw better weather and the only win of the season against East Mosley. Then it all went down hill and of the last 7 games the team had to concede 4 due to the lack of higher team availability but did manage a losing draw on the last game of the season. Highlights were fifties from Ben Osborn, Alfie Mekwan and Bavish Geentilal and five wicket hauls from Alfie Mekwan 6-56 and Malcolm Smith 5-46. As ever the team looks forward to next season.

Captain Amir Hussain learnt from last season’s shortcomings and led a consistent 1st XI which gelled and backed each other all the way. A belief was embedded into the side that resulted in them performing under pressure and coming through some testing times. The campaign started with 4 victories but progress suffered when the next 4 games resulted in one win against Sinjuns; defeats to Dorking, Oxted and then a losing draw to Stoke saw the side drop to fifth with half the season gone. A win against Hampton Wick and a convincing victory against unbeaten Sanderstead, initiated the fight back. The belief solidified further when, being in precarious positions against the weaker teams, Kings fought what many may have thought a losing cause and transformed almost certain defeats into victories through sheer resilience. The team defended 114 against Mitcham and won by 14 runs and being 69-8 against Godalming went on to score 145 and won by 46 runs. The team recorded their highest score of the season in the crucial game against Oxted, scoring a daunting 337 for 4 and defeating the eventual champions by a massive 165 runs. Next the side brushed aside Sinjuns, chasing down 212 in 32 overs. The win virtually confirmed promotion into Div 4 with one victory now required from three fixtures to confirm champion status. Unfortunately the next game against Dorking resulted in a wash out whilst Oxted played and gained valuable points. The next two games unfortunately saw the side deprived of some key players due to unforeseen circumstances. An 8 man Kings lost against Sanderstead leaving the final game requiring nothing but victory to confirm pole position. The side was again understrength and was unable to defend 239 against Stoke. The key batsmen were S Nazir (490 at 35) which included an annihilating 152 against Oxted, Tahir Khan (417 at 35) and Imran Khalid (386 at 24) and a century in the T20 cup. M Asif Khan contributed in his 8 matches scoring 230 at 30. Bowling was never a worry for the team with senior stalwart Hamid Malik coming to the fold with inspired bowling spells. He would have caused more havoc had he played more than 14 matches taking 32 wickets at 11.75. Nad Shan kept chipping away consistently and ended with a creditable 28 wkts at 22. The rest of the wickets were shared amongst S Nazir (12), T Khan (11), G Khan (8) and A Khan (7).

68 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Reaching finals day in the T20 cup, along with promotion, spelt a successful season. Congratulations to all those associated with the club. Special thanks go to sponsors, Henley Homes Plc, Reis Construct Ltd, Camelot College and Khan’s Solicitors, Ilford. Many thanks also to Graham, Roger and the ever present Geoff Phillips. Bring on Div 4! 2012 proved to be a difficult year for the 3rd XI after promotion from the Fullers. In 2011 nine sides were dismissed for less than 130 runs, only four games reached the last 15 overs and only four clubs had a 4th XI which did not provide enough challenge. In 2012 virtually all clubs had 4th XIs playing league cricket. The greater strength in depth showed, with only four oppositions bowled out and eight scoring over 150 runs. Highlights of positive cricket included Junaid Khan’s maiden league fifty against Thames Ditton, followed by 124 against Sinjuns, where only Zain Khan’s 33 at number 10 was also double figures. This was one of only six games where two or more batsmen reached 30. Nabeel Khan always scored quickly, with 63, 89 and 60* against Streatham & Marlborough, Sanderstead, and Ashford, respectively; while Sikander Khan’s 50 and Rizwan Khan’s 59 against Worcester Park were let down by other batsmen totalling 162 all out. Sikander also scored three other 40s. Bowling star was Zain with 28 wickets (plus a ‘five-for’ in the ultimately voided game against Old Emanuel). However, only Sikander (18) and Zoheb Khan (17) also reached ten wickets. These 63 wickets compare with their 71 in 2011, when two other bowlers also reached 10 wickets. Meanwhile, in the field, Zoheb Khan took eight catches, and made two run-outs. Although there were only three victories; against Streatham & Marlborough, Addiscombe, and Ashford, it shows what might have been achieved with more batting consistency. With Nabeel scoring 63 and Sikander 49 against Streatham & Marlborough, a struggling 164 for 8 wickets and victory shows the essence of the batting fragility. Captain Zoheb scored 51* with Sikander 44 against Kempton at the end of the season when rain had the last word. The key watchwords for 2013 must be more batting consistency and concentration, selling wickets more dearly, rather than cameos and a Twenty20 approach.

Leatherhead 1st XI won the penultimate match of the season by 89 runs and confirmed themselves champions of Div 2. After missing out on promotion in 2011, the side was determined to go one better. Over the winter, the side secured the services of experienced players Shaun Udal and Toby Raworth plus promising youngsters Harry Allen and Jonathan Tribe. A boisterous start to the 2012 campaign saw the side win their first 7 matches, with Esher, Farnham and Worcester Park in a chasing pack which would stay consistent for the rest of the season. Unfortunately Leatherhead could not capitalise on their strong start and in the blink of an eye, lost 3 straight games to put them back to fourth. Newly promoted Horsley & Send outplayed Leatherhead winning by 7 wickets. A disappointing defeat at home to Ashford followed when so close to victory, which marked a low point in the season. A hard fought contest away to form side Farnham completed the run and there was a feeling of 'now or never' if they were to achieve their aim of promotion. A gritty victory at home to top of the table Esher ended the run of defeats and gave the side immense confidence going into the final 5 games. Players returned to form, availability improved and along with it a feeling that this could be Leatherhead’s year. The season reached its climax on the penultimate match away to Ashford; Leatherhead ran away comfortable winners by 89 runs and confirmed their promotion as Div 2 champions. Victories were at times hard fought and individual performances were shared around. The strength in depth of the side was noticeable, as was their average age, often fielding as many as 5 teenagers. Batting was largely dominated by Michael Nicol (378 at 34) and Adam Dyson (355 in only 7 innings); well supported by important contributions from Peak, Udal, Joblin, Thompson, Brooks and Musgrave. The bowling attack was formidable all season; on only three occasions did an opposition score more than 200. The huge variety in the bowling attack was key to the team’s success. Udal was the stand out performer with 38 wickets at 9. He was brilliantly supported by Thompson (26 at 16), who was often asked to bowl in the power plays and Tribe (21 at 14) in his first season for the club. Baker was a consistent threat throughout the season and Farrant, Nicol and Allen all bowled well when called upon.

69 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

A fantastic team effort was the backbone for success; the club now play the highest level of cricket in its 163 year history. Congratulations to Farnham who finished in second place. After last year’s 2nd XI’s exceptional performance it was back to normal for 2012. The loss of a number of players from the club for various reasons, school commitments and inconsistent availability really hit hard. With teams often fielded well below strength so voids could be filled, the job of reaching last year’s heights was always going to be an up hill struggle and was proved, avoiding relegation by a single point. Performers with the bat were skipper Dave Baker who scored 331 at 23.64, Dan Leach scoring 223 at 14.87 and Dave Mercer 211 at 26.38; no other batsman throughout the year made more than 200 runs which was a major issue as to how the season unfolded. A mention should go to James Musgrave who made a fantastic 100 at Cheam. The bowling was a pleasant surprise this year with often the case too many bowlers to pick from! There were contributions from Jonny Lewis-Oliver (16 wickets), Dan Leach (15), Tom Gamble (14), Damon Robinson (13), Alex Watermman (13) and Marcus Dawes (10). All bowled with exceptional economy rates and showed that the club has a great depth in bowling and bearing in mind five of the six are U19 it shows there is a lot of promise for the future if they continue to learn and progress. Thanks to all those umpires, scorers and providers of teas throughout the season, without your efforts and gestures of good will, Saturdays would become even more stressful! Leatherhead 3rd XI started out under the captaincy of Lewis Higgs, holding together a team during difficult matches and strong opposition. Although narrowly losing a number of games to Egham, Alleyn & Honor Oak and Cheam, under his reign when the side failed to execute the winning runs there were some very good performances at the start of the season, particularly Tom Craydon (7 for 52 against Egham) and Tim Bowling (a good 71 against Walton). The latter half of the season was directed under Jonathan Burgess who finally came through and secured Leatherhead 3rd XI with their first win of the season against Old Wimbledonians, aided by Matt Fenton-Jones’ performance with the bat scoring 55 at a crucial time in the game and fully supported by a strong bowling attack. This was Leatherhead’s highlight of the season with Matt taking the spotlight. The special mentions for this year’s 3rd XI are for Tom Craydon who took a total of 41 wickets as the leading wicket taker, Matt Fenton-Jones who was superb with both bat and ball, Tim Bowling behind the stumps, Aydin Huseyin and Metin Huseyin who both bowled well whilst securing a number of colts players into the men’s team and Jonathan Burgess, the top run scorer for the team. Unfortunately, although relegated to Div 2 after a difficult season the club hold high hopes for success next season. With many colts progressing through to play adult cricket there is confidence in building a strong team and hopes of progressing back into Div 1 in the near future.

Malden Wanderers 1st XI returned to the Premier League with new club captain Simon Crampton at the helm after long serving Giles Puckle stepped down, having successfully secured promotion back to the Premiership in 2011. With several new faces in the team, Malden quickly adjusted back to life in the top flight with a win at Weybridge and proved they have what it takes to compete with the best in the league with a tight win defending 118 at home against Sunbury. Wins against Normandy, Camberley, Wimbledon and Sutton, alongside dominant winning draws against Normandy, Sutton and Guildford meant a sixth place finish, which was a solid effort and gives plenty of reasons to be optimistic for 2013. Notable performers with the bat were Alan Cope with 503 runs at 34 and John Hess, 416 at 26, both scoring their maiden league hundreds for the club, 105 vs. Sutton and 156 vs. Camberley respectively. In a season dominated by low scores, the side was well supported by valuable contributions from Matthew Birrell 322 at 21 including three fifties, and 213 at 20 from James Wackett amongst others. With the ball, the familiar spin from Crampton and Puckle shared the spoils with 28 and 27 wickets respectively, with Neil Mander (21), Mark Ashcroft (20) and Michael Cottrell (14) providing nice balance to the attack. No doubt consistency will be the key for 2013 as the side look to build on this year’s success. Thanks to Mandy Linton for her world class scoring and the faithful supporters that patrol the boundaries around the grounds. It was a very exciting season for Malden Wanderers 2nd XI this year. The side challenged for the title for

70 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports the majority of the season but unfortunately fell short due to lack of availability at the business end of proceedings. The season was a low scoring affair due to the poor weather and pitch conditions, nevertheless consistent runs came from Paul Barford (354 at 25), Adam Dicker (272 at 30) and newcomer Sagar Patel (265 at 29). The outstanding players throughout the season were the bowlers with Tom Wightwick claiming 22 scalps and Spencer Stephens 20. A special mention must go to Khyyam Shakeel who finished with 50 league wickets including 43 at 12 in the 2nd XI which earned him a deserved place in the 1s for the latter stages of the season. All that being said, what was most impressive was the way the younger players stepped up and took their opportunities with Tom Long, Ali Edmonds, his younger brother Nick, and Will Clapp amongst others, all who are sure to feature heavily in the future as they push for regular first team honours. Whilst looking forward to the team growing and contending for the title next year, thanks must go to all the umpires and scorers from each club for their efforts during the season and congratulations to all the squad on their efforts throughout the year. After being away from the Premier League for eight seasons, the return of Malden 3rd XI to the top league was awaited with baited breath by all concerned - unfortunately the side won only four games through the season and inevitably was relegated on the final day, but they were only outclassed once in the season, away at Sunbury. All three areas of the side's performance were well down on the previous year. On two occasions, teenagers carried their bats, Nick Edmonds with 115* and Dan Hammond 58, both in losing causes. Of the other batters, skipper Michael Jacobs scored 352 at 27 followed by Phil Downey (263 at 24), newcomer Sharvi Thangathaurai (203 at 34), 17 year old Dan Hammond (198 at 28) and the returning Jake Lavender (184 at 20). On the bowling front, only 4 bowlers took over 10 wickets, 15 year old James Marks with 16 at 27, Jacobs with 14 at 19 , Joe Lavender aged 14 took 14 at 20 and the returning Tom Irons 11 at 22. There is good news in that games were again played by Malden with the spirit of the game firmly in mind and the bowling line up regularly consisted of 13, 14 and 15 year old seamers - the pick was Rafeh Jafri who bowled with good pace for a 13 year old, and batted without inhibitions - one to watch. The side did, however, suffer from a lack of availability with four senior bowlers not available all summer due to work and injury and two senior batters injured for most of the season. Many thanks to Liz for her teas, unfortunately ice lollies were only seen once in 2012 - hopefully 2013 will see these treats more regularly. Thanks also to Andrew for preparing the best wickets in the Premier League by some distance and Franzi for her unstinting help and guidance. Last year the 4th XI finished 7th in Premier Div 4, just above relegation but this year could not perform well enough to stay in the division. In a rain affected season the side still managed to play 14 matches but selection was a constant battle and frustration for many, which undoubtedly impacted on performance. Overall the main issue was getting a consistent, full side on a regular basis. Only three players played more than 5 matches out of 14. In the batting department, 95* by Sharvi Thangathurai in the only innings he played assured a win against Spencer and he was the highest scorer of the season for the 4s followed by Jake Lavender with 82 in 3 innings and 79 by Craig Daniel in 4 innings. In the bowling department, Jake Lavender, Ben Houghton and Rafeh Jafri took 5 wickets each. James Murphy did a great job with 3 dismissals behind the wicket and 4 in the field. Having a consistent team, week in, week out, and moving back up to the Premier Division will be the main priorities for the 2013 season.

After the 1st XI’s promotion in 2011 there were high hopes that the same result could be achieved in 2012. The season started well with three wins, one loss and a winning draw in the first five games. All could actually have been won if catches had been taken. Unfortunately these were to be the last points the team gained for a very long time. With poor availability came weakened teams and the good start could not be maintained. The batting was a major concern as runs became difficult. When you see that captain Neil Driscoll, who scored 321 runs at 40.13, and Fahad Butt, (437 at 33.62), were the leading run scorers and the next highest average was 16.22, you can see the team struggled to get a firm hold in a game due to lack of runs. The bowling was a little better with Steve Saker claiming 19 wkts at 23.22 and Janek Patel also claiming 19 wkts at 22.95. Tony Murphy was reliable

71 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports and his 16 wkts should have been higher had catches been taken. It became a disease throughout the season with many catches being dropped and is something the team must improve upon for next season. So the battle of relegation was a fight for the rest of the season. Fortunately two wins out of the last three games proved to be crucial. Strong teams were selected against both Farncombe and Old Hamptonians. The bowlers performed well, bowling Farncombe out for 120 and Old Hamptonians for 65. The batters did the rest and relegation was avoided finishing in a respectful 6th position. Thanks must go to all the players who performed for the team and to scorers George and Brian. There is much for the club to improve upon in the winter months, looking forward to next season with renewed vigour and hopefully giving the side a chance to challenge for the top places. A fantastic effort by the 2nd X1 under the leader ship of skipper Humayoon Nasir saw them win back-to- back promotions to the 3rd Division. Having two initial games washed out was the main reason for losing out on being Champions for a second year in succession by just one point, even though playing one less game than the team on top. The winning streak for the 2nd X1 continued from last season until the first loss came against Chipstead, Coulsdon & Walcountians. Losing a few players from last year who had either moved away or were promoted to the first eleven; the ever continuous effort from the skipper of bringing in new recruits continued with Mohammad Noman joining the club and showed what a great talent he is. Haroon Nasir spearheaded the batting and batted throughout the season with determination and responsibility, scoring 374 runs in just 11 games played. Mohammad Noman was the other leading scorer for the team who scored 312 runs in just 8 innings with a knock of 75* in last game against Chessington in which he totally destroyed the opponents’ bowlers. Naseer Raja was the other batsmen scoring 241 runs. There were some great individual knocks worth mentioning coming from Glen Mollan scoring a swashbuckling 90 runs against Stoke D’Abernon hitting eight 4s and five 6s, Zeeshan Khokar scoring 79 runs against Horsley & Send and Naseer Raja scoring 70* against Chipstead, Coulsdon & Walcountians The skipper Humayoon Nasir was leading wicket taker in the division with 29 wickets at an economy rate of 2.73 and was equally supported by ever-reliable Ammar Tahir who took 28 wickets with his fierce pace. Naseer Raja was the other stand out bowler with 18 wickets taking 7 for 11, including a hat trick. Much gratitude to the ever-committed John Freitag, who umpired throughout and was a great support.

2012 was a fantastic year for British sport, and it was no different for Merrow 1st XI. Despite the weather doing its best to spoil the season, Merrow played competitive cricket all season, challenging for the most part, after the first two games never made it past a Friday lunchtime inspection. A game later in the season was also lost without the team travelling. The side was bolstered by the recruitment of Scott Marra from Auckland as the overseas professional. Scott bought maturity, as well as runs, and a very reliable leg spin option. Had the weather been more favourable he would have taken double the number of wickets, and really scored heavily. As ever, for Merrow, the bowling was very strong. It was led by Rob Pigden, in his first full year of first team cricket, with 27 wickets, accompanied by Dan Taylor also with 27. Marra collected 25 wickets and Chris Hall, Mudasser Iqbal and Phil Windus all chipped in with double figures. Marra led the run scoring, however in only 5 games Gary Thomson smashed 300 runs to take the batting trophy; what would he have scored had he been more regularly available. Useful runs were also scored by Matt Balch, Jordyn Dyer and skipper Ben Brown. Special mention should go to Tom Johnson, who after scoring heavily in the 2nd XI, came into the 1s with confidence and recorded his first 1st XI 50. The side was well captained by Ben Brown, taking over from the departed Martin Bakker, and there is great confidence in the number of players throughout the club able to play 1st XI cricket. Hopefully 2013 will bring some decent weather and a decent Merrow charge towards promotion. Congratulations to Kingstonian and Oxted & Limpsfield on promotion.

The 2012 3rd XI season saw three captains - Saqib Khan, Chris Lowe and James Lowe and over 50 players used – it was a difficult year! Only three league matches were won and the side finished 16th in the table. At the recent Club dinner the Club captain highlighted the number of youngsters coming through and the Committee wants to build on this. On the field only Shakir Khan passed 100 runs (av 35.75) and he won the ‘Player of the Year’ award. On the bowling front Ian McGillavray earned 15 wickets at 10.4 while David Loader chipped in with 11 at 8.55. The appointment of an enthusiastic captain for 2013 is now the priority. Mike Wadsley announced this was his final year as 4th XI captain but again it proved a difficult season on the pitch with just three League wins as the team finished 6th out of eight sides. Nearly 40 players were used and only Rob Wood (av 14.75) and Russell Pellow (av 19.33) passed 100 runs (with Kashif Noon reaching 98!). Duncan Carter gained 10 wickets at 10.3 and Wadsley 9 at 17.78. A promising Gus Locke managed a 5 wicket haul (5-32) while the club says farewell to vice-captain Russell Pellow as he moves to Devon in the close season. He leaves with the ‘Player of the Year’ award!

MITCHAM www.mitcham.play-cricket.com

It was not the greatest season for the young Mitcham 1st XI; finishing last in the Surrey Championship is the last thing new captain Jack Rogerson wanted. However most teams in the league would agree that the league table does not tell the full story, the 1st XI battled hard throughout the season and was never totally out classed by any side in the league. Mitcham were patchy all season, there were glimpses of brilliance with bat and ball but the consistency was lacking. Although Mitcham struggled with the bat however, this season saw the rise of a very talented batsman, Dharam Vyas who was far and away the best player with the bat. Vyas sometimes put bowling attacks to shame with his own aggressive style, his 587 runs at an average of 35, set a great example for the youth of Mitcham. With the ball, Mitcham's Ahsan Khan showed how simplicity goes a long way in getting wickets and bogging down teams, his 27 wickets coming with an economy of just under 4. The Mitcham camp will see this season as a gathering of experience for this very young side, hopefully Mitcham can build in the Fullers and return to the Championship in years to come.

Please note: SCB affiliation fee will be added to the above figures for all 1st XIs. Twenty20 entry fee will also be added for clubs outside of the Premier Division who have applied to take part.

2012 was a disappointing campaign for the 1st XI that ended with relegation for Jim Clutterbuck's side in the penultimate game. After the previous year's 4th place, the side were optimistic of emulating this finish but, as often with young teams, inconsistency and lack of experience cost dearly on several occasions. Winning positions, that a more experienced side would have won, were not taken against Guildford, Sunbury and Malden and positions of strength and dominance were squandered against Wimbledon, Sunbury and Camberley - all 6 games ended in defeat! Had half these games been turned into positive results then safety would have been a near certainty. The team showed fight and character in the second half of the season to pick up enough points to have a chance of staying up. The challenge faded away and the poor start eventually proved too much to make up. There were plenty of positives to come out of the season not least in getting into so many good positions. Many young players acquitted themselves well at Premiership level, it bodes well for the future. Of particular note was Howard Grice who finished among the top run scorers in the league and Ian Prowse who improved in the second half to finish with 400 runs and 15 wickets. Matt Carter is a genuine all-rounder in the making and at only 18 a proven new ball operator, while Neal Prowse showed inventiveness and power in his batting, if not his knees. Of the even younger crop two 15 year olds, off spinner Chris Jones and batsman Ollie Batchelor (62 on debut), showed quality and great potential. The aim is to bounce straight back from Div 1! Massive thanks to ever present scorer Ros Carter, mad coach Bill Clutterbuck, Jill Scott and her tea ladies, groundsmen Jonny Nolan, Bill C and Phil Moss, cricket chairman Peter Scott plus the club committee for tireless work in running the club. The 2nd XI was delighted to finish runners up, given a sluggish start to the season. The last day saw a 10 wicket win over the Champions and showed how far a young group of players had developed. The seam bowling was consistently high quality and once the batting reached similar levels in the season, the team competed as a unit and were unbeaten in the last 9 fixtures. Newcomer Sam Tunbridge (23 wickets) led the attack and generally snared top order wickets, his 7 wicket haul on the last day was fair reward for consistent performance. He was ably supported by Paul King, Dan Miles, Jonny Nolan (8 for 46 vs. Weybridge), Leon Robinson, Ben Heane and Neal Prowse who were all economical. The spin bowling was shared between the experienced Rob Woods and younger protégées Chris Miles (16 wickets at 13) and Chris Jones (10 at 18) when 1st XI cricket allowed. The batting was a more mixed bag with some individual cameos (notably from Robinson) hiding an inability, in the first half of the year, to build partnerships. Only 8 individual scores of 50 were registered, remarkable for a team that finished second. The most exciting was from 15 year old Olly Batchelor (55 vs. Wimbledon and 70 vs. Sunbury) which earned him a spot at the top of the 1st XI order. Three 15 year olds (Batchelor, Jones and Kolk) came through to represent the 1st XI and a number of other young players enjoyed opportunities. Congratulations and apologies go to Wimbledon. Well done on winning the League but sorry that Normandy did not push you harder in the first half of the season. Thanks go to all opponents, and to those working tirelessly for the League for making the competition so enjoyable. Individual thanks to umpires Andy Martin, Dave Walter and Mike Carter and to all the tea ladies at Normandy and beyond for providing much needed insulation for the cold winter ahead! After the 3rd XI’s relegation from the Premier Division in 2011, Carl Bowen returned from the 4s to take over the reins and hopes were high of a successful season in Div 1. This optimism was short lived and a combination of terrible weather and under par performances meant Normandy finished in 14th place. The weather meant any chance of a reasonable league position was scuppered. The bowling was led by pacy Michael Collins (19 wkts at 18) and the leg spin of Chris Heane (19 wkts at 13), who took two 5 wicket hauls against East Molesey and Old Ruts. The only other notable performance was the veteran Peter Scott's off-spin hand grenades (13 wickets in just 3 outings) with a personal record

74 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports haul of 8-49 against Hampton Wick. On the batting front the experienced trio of Andrew McPherson and the Scott brothers, Michael and Peter, led the way. McPherson finished leading run scorer with 275 runs at 39 including two 50s. Michael Scott's explosive knocks at the top of the innings were entertaining and he made 267 quick fire runs at 33 including three 50s. Finally Peter Scott amassed 260 runs at 43 including a magnificent 139* against Weybridge, sharing in a record 3rd XI opening partnership of 254 with 14 year old Oskar Kolk (maiden century 100*). This was the batting highlight in what was a miserable season with the bat for most. Other worthy efforts came from 15 year old wicket-keeper Richard Burton (who waited until the last game of the season against Walton to show his talent) and all-rounders Michael Wicherek, Ben Heane and Ryan Powell. If this side wants to be successful again the batting has to improve across the board. A huge thank you goes to the regular umpire Russell Home who gives up his Saturdays to officiate. It is much appreciated among the 3rd XI who cannot thank (or fine) him enough. 2012 saw the 4th XI break new ground with its first year in the Premiership. A number of the successful 2011 squad either left or moved up to the 3rd XI so it was a different looking team that set foot on the pitch, a mix of NCC ‘dads army’ of 50 somethings and youthful up and coming colts from the U14/15’s. Early season form was encouraging and the heights of 3rd position were reached. Subsequently match cancellations (5 successive home matches lost to rain), player shortages and a strengthening of the opposition, saw a steady decline. The side were sitting in the relegation zone on the final Saturday; the team’s fate in the hands of others. After winning at Cheam, it was a tense wait to discover that rivals had lost and the side had earned another season in the Premier. In the context of events through the year, this was a fine achievement and the players in the squad are to be congratulated on their efforts; the core of the team remaining consistent throughout the season. Batting wise, captain Robin Wellfare topped the runs table with 265 runs at 33, closely followed by “Nature Boy” Phil Miles (259 at 22) and supported by Mark Rosser (155 runs at 17). Worthy of special mention was the magnificent unbeaten century by Michael Wicherek against champions Dulwich (a double edged sword as he was rapidly promoted upwards, with continuing success). With the ball, George Newton was reliable taking 24 wickets at 13. U14s Matthew Hodgson (10 at 22) and Nick Cook (9 at 28) made their senior debuts and underlined their potential. Finally, young Hannah Jones (U13) demonstrated maturity beyond her years in the games she played, both with the gloves and as her confidence grew, the bat, her 25 runs against Wimbledon showing a few of the older heads how it should be done!

In a closely fought division, the 1st XI finished bottom, with only 13 points separating the last 5 teams, only 4 wins was way below expectations. Despite high pre-season anticipation and hopes, the side was again soon beset by poor availability and the selection process proved increasingly difficult. A large number of ‘core’ players were lost for a variety of reasons and the early season poor weather probably contributed to a general lack of enthusiasm and commitment. For all sides, it was never possible to field the same team or indeed anything close to a regular squad of players in consecutive weeks. As ever, special mention must be made of Arvind Maan’s 559 league runs (at over 37) including 2 fine centuries and his 44 wickets at 14.55 each and of CP’s 400 runs, including a punishing 115 against Churt. Good support came from newcomer Abdul Wakeel with 369 runs and it must be recorded that Simon Dillsworth notched his maiden century for the club (115* - also against Churt). The team finished 9th, but since no relegation applied to Div 5, the 2nd XI stayed there for 2013. The weekly changes in personnel caused much disruption and extra work for skipper David O’Keefe, with dramatic knock-on effect on the third team which was forced early on to withdraw from the league. Ibrar Malik with 266 and Gareth Harris with 228 were the main contributors with the bat, with useful support from Carl Taylor (171). Michael Stranks valiantly stepped into the breach to run the last few games of the season – the aim is to put this season behind us and regroup for 2013. The 3rd XI withdrew from the league after a month due to shortage of numbers.

The Old Hamptonians 1st XI entered 2012 on the crest of a wave after promotion from Div 5. The season started well, progressing to the 3rd round of the T20 competition and winning a host of the opening league games. New players Shajeel Butt (318 runs and 12 wickets) and Raza Mughal (30 wickets at 12) performed well. The weather did the side favours as it chased Chipstead; however the wheels came off away at Streatham and demonstrated the batting inadequacies, although the bowling continued to be strong. With Simon Morris (29 at 11), Nabeel Akhtar (20 at 15) and Richard Brown (19 at 14) the team was always in the hunt for victory. A tremendous draw against Old Rutlishians and wins against Streatham and Egham ensured a nail biting end to the season. However catastrophes against Southern Railway, Alleyn & Honor Oak and Maori Oxshott saw the OH finish the season in a deserved 3rd position. In 2013 the OH 1990s English batting style must be replaced with grit and determination as shown by the likes of Trott and Dravid. Availability always plays a great part in the season’s finish and the same can be said for the OH. With the biggest Brian Gray Memorial 6s taking place in 2012 and a new subs scheme there is much to be pleased about. The grand plan for year three of the recovery is to recruit from Hampton School and the surrounding area. Imagine playing with players from your year, three from the year above and a couple from years gone by and then imagine the strength and depth. The team could be the most dangerous club in Surrey! Nets will be taking place in Hampton and at the Oval in the New Year. No season can take place without the help of many; special thanks to Subi, Brian, Laura, Tressa and Lizi in particular for all their help with Club life. After a strong season in 2011, OH 2nd XI faced a challenge in 2012 with the departure and weakened availability of a number of key players due to the pressures of family life. Nevertheless, the team showed great endeavour throughout the season, pulling off some key victories towards the end to ensure survival and a respectable mid-table finish. The season began with mixed results. A hat-trick by opening bowler Simon Blair failed to avert a loss in the first ‘played’ game, before a fine victory by 9 wickets, including a century for Chinmay Mahadkar, followed a week later. As the club entered the middle of the season availability issues began to tell but to everyone’s credit OH 2nd XI still played and competed in every game, showing the true spirit running through Old Hamptonians Cricket Club. Notable performances here were a hundred from Paul Carson in a large, successful run chase, and a second hat-trick for the 2nd XI, this time from fast bowler Neil Lizieri. However, with the season reaching its nadir, relegation loomed. When the pressure was on, OH 2s pulled off an excellent, tight victory over Woodmansterne; this was followed two weeks later by a crucial, hard-fought victory over Cranleigh to ensure survival. The season was rounded off with a splendid, and fully deserved, century from leading run scorer Jimmy Sudbury. Notable performances in the bowling department came from Tom Hunter, leading the way with 21 wickets at an average of under 10, and Simon Blair, who collected 13 wickets in only a handful of games. Special mention must also go to Guy Baker who took on the responsibility of opening the batting this season along with his wicket keeping, where he remains one of the best glove-men in the league. If the team can play next year as it did in these final few games, an enjoyable and successful season awaits!

What better place to start the 1st XI report than with a quotation from Dolly Parton, “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain”. Patience is a virtue and by the time the rain relented, the team was hopeful of seizing the pot of gold that lay at the bottom of that metaphorical rainbow – promotion back into Div 3. An abandoned game, a convincing loss to Old Hamptonians, and no game the following week left the 1st XI pointless. Ruts travelled to Farncombe ready to claim their first points but at 28-5, things were looking bleak; a spirited performance from S Cooper (46) and K Green (35) enabled Ruts to achieve a respectable 159. The side had a chance and a miraculous spell of bowling came from 19 year-old Jamie Pryce with a match-winning 6-for; Farncombe were bowled out for 147. The Ruts hoped it would kick-start their season. This was not to be the case but the season did not pass without some noteworthy performances; Dominic Wood deserves a special mention for his first season, scoring 511 at 42.38 (including three 100s), an exceptional achievement. The batting was the most disappointing aspect of the season, only Salman Mohammed (358 at 32.55) had a credible season. On the bowling side, Mohammed also led the way taking 34 wickets at 13.03 alongside overseas player Larry Joseph, (29 at 18.9). Sonny Cooper is also worth a mention, he spearheaded the Ruts’ attack with consistency and patience. Despite the disappointment, there were positives for the side from this season and these will push the team on next year. The side is filled with youth who are beginning to realise their potential and accept responsibility. In the words of Aristotle, ‘It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light’. Following the darkness of relegation, the 1st XI hope to illuminate the years ahead. In a tight league a young 2nd XI played in their share of close games. Evan Watson (5 for 27) starred against Worcester Park before Alex Barnicott (6 for 38) made it 2 consecutive wins against Old Wimbledonians. Both games against Purley were ‘edge of the seat’ stuff with a one wicket loss at home, evened up by winning the away game when successfully defending 95 (Chick 6 for 25). A tight finish against Old Whits saw the team scrape home by one wicket off the last ball of the extra over. Worcester Park were too strong in the reverse fixture (Mapp 59*). The best performances of the season were the two wins against Bank of England. Dodd 58 and Day 5 for 38 in the first game followed by Tidey (63) and Snell (81) putting on 135 for the 7th wicket in the second game. With 3 games to go the team still had a mathematical chance of promotion (and probably relegation). As it was, the two best cricketing sides Sanderstead and Valley End secured promotion. The club wish every success to both teams in the higher league next season. Whilst batting was generally a struggle, Mapp (298 at 23), Tidey (243 at 14) and Snell (237 at 34) led the way. Watson and Flanagan both performed well before getting promoted to the 1s. With the ball Day (27 at 14.5), Khan (15 at 20), Snell (14 at 23) and Watson (14 at 14) led the way. The team look forward to next season to see whether that extra year of experience will make it more competitive on the pitch. This season can be summed up as the season of ‘what if’s?’ It was not until the end of May that the 3rd XI played its first game at Normandy. Having been put in, Chugh led the way with 81*, including 5 sixes. This was backed up with a solid bowling performance, but despite having 8 overs at the last pair a win could not be forced. The side then did not get another point until June 23rd with a vital winning draw against Cheam, one of the better teams in the league this season. The first victory was not until the end of June when playing Leatherhead. It was a brief game, finished before 3pm and started a winning run of 4 games which propelled the side to its highest position for the season of 7th place. Poor availability ended hopes of maintaining Div 1 status for next season. The ambition at the start of the season was to secure a top 10 finish, sadly this did not happen. There were lots of positives this season, with a number of younger players playing 2nd XI cricket by the end of the season (Ross Trimmings and Richard Woolland to name a couple). Chugh, 247 runs at 27.44, led the way with the bat and Richard Woolland, 19 wickets at 11.58, led with the ball. Consistency is something to look for next season and the side is relishing the challenge ahead with Div 1 a focus once more!

77 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

The 2012 season was always likely to be a difficult one for the 4th XI. With no pre-season due to the inclement weather and the loss of the first match due to the glorious late spring downpours the team 'attended' its first league game vs. Worcester Park, and attend was all the team managed to muster as it was soundly beaten. Was this down to the sticky wicket or just general rustiness? Who knows but things did not really get moving for the team at any point during the season. Between Euro football, Wimbledon tennis and the Olympics, player availability was a struggle as shown by the team using 46 players over the 12 matches played. This contributed to a lack of cohesion within the team but when it came together there was a team to be reckoned with; the wins against Epsom away, Sinjuns home and Wimbledon Lakeside away proved this. There were a few positives to be taken from the season with a number of U16s, U15s and even a couple of U13s making their league debuts gaining valuable experience for the coming seasons, Matt Vanderpeer, Callum Holden and Eshen Patel to name but a few. What will 2013 bring? A young, competitive Old Ruts side that will take the league by storm....hopefully!

OW’s 1st XI season was akin to Jekyll and Hyde in 2012, with a very competitive showing in the longer format which yielded 5 wins but less success in the limited overs games, where just one solitary victory was recorded. However, Ali Raja’s young side regularly turned out with 6 aged 22 or under and the 7th place finish was a good achievement for a developing squad. The skipper had his best season to date with 364 runs including a destructive, unbeaten 128 at Molesey, but in an horrendous season weather wise it was probably not a surprise that only 3 others made 200 - Murti Hussain with 255, the 18 year old Australian Jono Morey 246 (once recovered from frostbite after landing at Gatwick in April) and Ahmad Raja with 214. The bowling was a different story and Murti Hussain once again bowled his off breaks and doosras superbly with 43 wickets at just 13.35 a piece. Majid Khalil was always a handful opening up, he took 30 wickets and Luke Fisher returning to OW from a year at Horsham took an encouraging 19. A number of young players did very well, particularly young wicketkeeper/bat Matt Stiddard, Rory Caines, Harshil Patel and Mo Raza; this talent needs to be nurtured in the years ahead. Many thanks to super efficient scorer David Hagger who handled the challenges of computer scoring and D/L with aplomb, plus all the panel umpires and club caterer Ricky for a great spread every week! Congrats to Spencer and Molesey on promotion to the Premier League! Many positives came out of this season for Old Whitgiftians 2nd XI. Even after relegation yet again this year, many colts such as Mus Ahmed, Pratik Khetia, and Dev Visavadia came into the team and made decent contributions. Pratik Khetia aged 15, in particular, played most games throughout the season managing to pick up 12 wickets in 13 games. Harshil Shah had an excellent season with the ball, leading the spin attack, playing 16 games, taking 26 wickets and scoring 349 runs with the bat. To conclude the season, despite relegation, the team spirit towards the game was excellent. The side played with a lot of fight and as a team was involved with many close finishes towards the end. The club now looks to improve in 2013 and get promotion. The 3rd XI season started very wet and it had to sacrifice the first two games to the English weather. The whole season was a mix of wins and losses, probably due to losing the main contributors from last season who were promoted to the 2nd XI. The team still finished 9th in the league table which was not bad as it lost eight games of the fourteen played. On the batting front the usual suspects were Jonathan Higgins who, despite his age, performed well and finished 2nd place in the club charts with 382 runs, followed by another veteran Jon Weller aka The Trooper. There were other good batting performances by Simon Yousaf, Nick Flood, Mohd Talha, James Earl, Simon Goatcher, Vishal Khetia and Akil Gohar. Dev Visavadia, Gehan Fernando, Dinesh Yogananthan, Nikhil Patel, Will Tams and Fred Woodrow also appeared in a couple of games with some good knocks. The youngsters, Mohd Talha (22 wkts) and Nachiket Patel (20 wkts), led the bowling attack. Skipper Simon Yousaf also finished with 20 wickets. Sohaib Khalid joined halfway through the season and finished with 12 wickets. James Wilacy, James Earl, Shaz Rana and Tom Earl also appeared in a few games and

A much improved 1st XI season ended with a 3rd place finish. Early season lapses in concentration spoilt a fantastic season, finishing with 7 wins in the limited overs format including the last 5 in a row. Two games stood out - against Epsom, the OWs were defending 93 but Dawson’s 5 wicket haul inspired the OWs to clinch a tie from the jaws of defeat. At the Bank of England the OWs were chasing 265, but fell to 97-7 half way through their 50 overs. Dawson made a watchful 50 to support Ushettige who was in sublime form, scoring 103* off 71 balls and steered OWs to a 1 wicket victory, with a 161 partnership coming within 3 runs of the 9th wicket league partnership record. Dawson and Ushettige spearheaded the bowling attack, Dawson 35 wickets and Ushettige 36. They were backed-up by the solitary spinner Berger, new comers Redlinghuys and Haw along with the usual Mirtschin, Stewart-Rose and Sealy-Fisher. Berger dominated the batting ending with 537 runs, 2nd in the league. He was supported at the top of the innings in the timed games by Atherstone, a notable achievement being a 159 run opening partnership against league winners Cranleigh. Berger was supported in the limited overs matches by the rejuvenated veteran Dunsmore. Sealy-Fisher eventually came into his stride towards the end of the season to cement the no. 3 spot. Dawson eventually showed his form with some fine knocks. The youngest batsmen Grant Deg held the middle to lower order together with some crucial knocks. Driessens showed all his talent but his keeping restricted him from batting in the top order when chasing. Ushettige waited 16 games before he finally produced the innings everyone knew he was capable of, Baugh also made notable contributions. Driessens was outstanding behind the stumps, Dunsmore rolled back the years at times and Atherstone, when not shouting directions at everyone, held onto some stunning catches. Under new captaincy this year the Old Wimbledonians 2nd X1 endured a season of two halves. Winning 5 and drawing 1 of their first nine games, Old Wimbledonians found themselves near the top of a very tight table and in contention for one of the promotion spots. Unfortunately a run of 7 games without a win saw the OWs slip from a promotion tussle into a relegation dog fight. A hard fought victory in the penultimate game of the season finally secured the side’s place in Div 2 for another year. For many of the squad it was a disappointing end to a season, which had at the beginning promised so much. There were many notable contributions throughout the season from a host of talented players. With the bat, Seneviratne scored 207 to be leading run scorer in the side. Roger White, in his first season as captain scored 203 runs at an average of 29. They were helped throughout by useful contributions from Gibson, De Silva and Johnstone with the bat. A big plus all season was the bowling unit led by Van Zyl, who finished with 30 wickets at an average of 15.33 and an economy of 2.88, these astonishing figures saw Van Zyl finish second leading wicket taker in the division, and pick up the OWs 2nd X1’s Player of the Season. He was well supported all season by Haw (16 wickets) and Seneviratne (19). Despite a disappointing second half to the season, there were many positives to take and all involved will be eagerly anticipating the new season, as they look to move forward and be contenders at the right end of the table. Many thanks go to Richard Smith for umpiring through this season. Having avoided relegation on the final day the previous season (along with the knowledge that the division would be split in two at the end of season), the 3rd XI and their new young captain Irfaan Baksh knew a good start to the season was paramount. While the first game was rained out, 3 wins in their next 5 games gave the side the start they had hoped for; a 207 run hammering of Weybridge being the highlight of that start, and the season. Unfortunately the same player problems that had beset the team the season before began to rear its head, and while captain Baksh recruited hard, all too often these players were snapped up by the teams above. In all 56 players appeared, making consistent performances impossible. An 8th place finish meant the team still reached their initial target of finishing in the top half of the table with the division’s split into two next season, but losses to 4 of the bottom 6 teams including a narrow one to local rivals Old Ruts put a damper on what could have been the team’s first promotion charge in 4 years.

79 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Individual highlights included hundreds for Capron and Mirza in the Weybridge game, while David Rooks took 6-24 against Hampton Wick. Rooks also led the wicket taking with 20 at 14 and an astounding economy of 2.48 per over, while Irfan Ali (343 at 31) and vice skipper Daniel Enslin (284 at 20) led the runs chart. Dan Enslin provided sound leadership on the occasions Irfan was unavailable. Many thanks go to Eddie Bell once again for umpiring almost every game this season.

The O & L 1st X1 capped off a fantastic year for the club with a last day win over local rivals Sanderstead to take the Div 5 title. The success can be traced back to 12 months earlier when the club planned for the 2012 season. With the pre-season training completed it was down to the committee and volunteers as to why the team had a fast start to the season. Where rivals lost early games to the weather, O & L managed to get wins on the board early and gain momentum. With the addition of Daryl King from Warlingham to the bowling attack and Simon Jackson, opening batsman from Jamaica, the team was better balanced than in previous years. Jackson adjusted to the slower English conditions quickly and provided a solid base to the batting. King (30) with Lee McIlwraith formed the best opening attack in the division, as they went through the top order of most opposition sides. McIlwraith took 41 wickets for the season, including a career best 8-54 vs. Kingstonian, topped the wicket taking table in the division and finished 11th in the whole competition. There was plenty of support for the openers as both David Paisey (26) and Gordon Boxshall (20) took wickets at crucial times, Paisey picking up a hat-trick against Mitcham in round 2. With Jackson passing 50 on 5 occasions and scoring between 25 and 50 in 6 other games, he provided an excellent platform for the rest of the team to bat around. Jackson finished with 659 runs at 43. To win the league he needed help and vice-captain Stuart Fletcher provided that, scoring 615 runs at 41. Stuart's 119 in the last game of the season against Sanderstead was his standout performance. Support came from Jack Lloyd (247), Boxshall (156) and Will Howard (121). During the season the team was able to introduce many younger cricketers into the 1st team. Along with Lloyd, Stephen Brooks, Andy Starling, Ben Fullard, and 14 year old Eddie Knight all played and performed well. There were players who had their season cut short with serious injuries, Dan Bowles and James Dalziel; hopefully they will be fully recovered for the coming year. Thanks again go to the 1st X1 umpire, Nigel Turk, for his contribution, dedication and hard work through the season. The club are already in planning for promotion from Div 4 next year. Champions at last! 2012 has been the culmination of 6 seasons of hard work for the 2nd XI with previous 2nd and 3rd place finishes. However this was the season when it all came together. The first key game was a 9 point limited overs win against Chessington where the team clawed its way back into the game. Two more games were won to make it 4 in a row before having a mid season 3 game blip of 2 winning draws and a losing draw. One of the losing draws was the second vital game as it was against title rivals Maori Oxshott. Out played on the day by Maori a resolute rearguard action with the bat ensured it was only a 3 point swing. A few weeks later this result proved key as Maori lost to Chips and the 2nd XI beat Chertsey in a competitive game after working hard to get the ground fit for play. The team entered the last 4 games knowing 4 ten point wins would win the title by virtue of an extra winning draw. All of these were to prove key, league defining games. The first was a 47 run win over a strong Chips side. An under strength side travelled to Stoke and won an exciting game in the last over, 5 wickets down. Next up Horsley & Send visited with a very strong bowling attack. After posting 175, Dave Paisey blew H&S away with 6-6; bowling them out for 31. With 1 game to go, destiny was in the side’s own hands; a position the team had been in before and failed. A strong Alleyn & Honor Oak were the visitors. The side collectively bowled and fielded well to restrict them to 178. The run chase got off to a good start followed by a slight wobble as two wickets were lost but the skipper hit the winning runs to start the celebrations. A season that seemed frustrating due to the weather and 2 sides dropping out of the league ended up being the most successful as the team won (together with the 1st XI) a first Surrey Championship title for the club. The overall stats were also impressive with only 3 draws, one limited over point dropped and only one

88 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports of 2 clubs in the whole Championship to go all season unbeaten. The batting was topped by Andrew Davis with 305 at 76.25 from 7 games with Michael Adamson on 264 at 33. Adamson also led the bowling with 19 at 10.32 followed by Pat Goodwin (17 at 8.65) and David Staines (17 at 17.59). Thanks go to all who played and made it such an enjoyable season and to the Umpire and Scorer. O & L 3rd XI were new to Div 1 following promotion in 2011. The season’s objective was a top 6 finish to make sure that the team would be part of the 2013 1st division. The first league game against Guildford was one of the few to take place, a reduced overs affair where a fine 86 from Andrew Davis was just reached by Guildford 6 wickets down. The game was also the start and the end of the season for skipper Ben Goodwin who badly twisted his knee. Ben was replaced by Greg Miller. Early season was a frustrating time, in addition to the weather, matches that were within grasp were allowed to slip away with overall results having a win-one, lose-one feel. The turning point was a narrow 1 wicket victory in early July over Trinity Mid-Whits, where a fine first innings 6-54 from James Dancy, was backed up by the batting middle order who finally produced some runs and a narrow victory. The team did not leave things to luck for the remainder of the season as it went undefeated through July and August with 5 wins, 2 abandoned games and a draw. Key to achieving these results was that batsmen were finally grinding out innings. Graham Foggin showed everyone how to do it, with Jonny Mastin and Guy Goodwin also putting in fine knocks. The knock of the season was probably Goodwin’s 114* against Leatherhead, but Mastins 79* in the same game was not far behind. The team used many bowlers, the pick was Quentin McKenna who never failed to deliver, his 31 wickets set him apart as the stand-out performer in a good season for the 3s. The team guaranteed the target top 6 finish in style with an 8 wicket victory at Old Whits. Mission accomplished. For the second year running, the mighty 4th XI was pipped to the promotion spot in the East Division of the 4th XI League. The team finished a close second to Reigate Priory, winning 9 of the 11 matches played, losing only one match to the eventual champions. The early season weather played its part in thwarting the campaign as the team suffered 3 abandonments, including an opportunity to take the scalp of Reigate and a likely 13 pointer against Merstham. After 2 washouts, the side started with a winning draw vs. Addiscombe, scoring 255-4 (Bob Dalziel 89) but only taking 9 Addiscombe wickets (Mark Lidiard 4-21). Big crushing wins followed; by 141 runs over Trinity Mid-Whits (Dalziel 75, James Harrison 49, Ed Thomas 4-20), by 9 wickets over Chessington (Will Singleton 5-29), a 76 run victory over Sanderstead, and a 6 wicket victory over Beddington (Matt Bristow 7- 45). The stage was set for the league decider against Reigate. A crucial toss was lost, the top order failed for the first time and from 34-5 the side limped to 89 all out. The bowling needed to be faultless, but only the excellent U14 Toby Greenwood delivered, with 3-21, as the team slipped to a 6 wicket defeat. The side won all its remaining matches, by 3 wickets against Trinity, bowling Merstham out for 47, defeating Beddington by 107 runs (Dalziel 76, Jon Biggs 66) and Sanderstead by 4 wickets. The team, like any good 4th XI, was formed of seasoned stalwarts; Bob Dalziel (329), Alan Schmidt (192), Mark Lidiard (14 wickets), Paul Greenwood, Peter Hanrott, Peter Glancy and the development of youth – Matt Probert, Jack Dennison, Toby Greenwood, Toby Thomas, George Lee and Richard Calver as well as one-off guest appearances. My thanks to you all and to the injured Nigel Pearce for umpiring! Another great season for the 4s – let’s go one better and secure a deserved promotion next year!

This was a disappointing season for Purley 1st XI. 3 wins, 10 lost and 3 abandoned ended in relegation. When looking back it is hard to ignore the fact that the 1st XI used 24 players. With never having the same team each week the batting and bowling performances were few and far between. A promising start in the second game of the season against East Molesey saw the side chasing 227 winning by 6 wickets with overseas player, Tim Miles, scoring 106. It was almost two months until the side saw another victory. Only scoring 90 against Ashtead, Tim Miles took 9 for 56 to snatch victory from defeat by 2 runs. The final win came against Old Whits, amassing a total of 267 the Old Whits were contained to

89 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

181 for 8. The last game of the season against Dulwich became a battle to avoid relegation for both teams. Purley scored 196 but it was not enough as Dulwich cruised to victory by 5 wickets. Tim Miles topped the batting with 343 runs and the bowling with 21 wickets. When available, Keith Medlycott showed his class especially his 88 against Ashtead. Nav Chaudhry is a talented all rounder with good performances with bat and ball, notably his 51* against Old Whits. New to the Club this year were Stan Somerford and Sid Lahiri. Sid unfortunately missed almost the whole season due to a calf injury. Stan bowled his usual immaculate line and length although did not take many wickets, his economy rate was 2.63. Two young players who came into the side were Oliver Thornton and Gurpaul Singh who, when asked, performed admirably. These are, no doubt, two first team players for the future. Sonny Cott, from Reed’s School, showed glimpses of real quality when batting. Thanks go to Jackie for scoring and her comments to the first team players this season! The 2nd XI performed consistently well and has a strong chance of promotion in 2013. Assad Naeem has taken over a talented mix of youth and experience. Sunny Bowry has been excellent with bat and ball and Imran Khan has been much improved this year taking 24 wickets at just 12 apiece. The introduction of talented youngsters Harry Hanford, Oliver Thornton and Gurpaul Singh bodes well for the future The success of the season would have to be the 3rd XI which has been expertly marshalled by Tarun Nayyar. Taz has taken a very young side and instilled them with confidence, hunger and belief which eventually gained promotion. Performances have been shared around as is the sign of any good team. Notable performances came from Taz, Jack Sugarman, Rohit Banerji and the vastly improved Mike Short.

In a year that was strangely reminiscent of 2011, Pyrford 1st XI had a tough year where there were more losses than wins. However, unlike 2011, the signs for the future are bright, with the team morale on the up and with the unusual circumstances of only one team going down, the side can use 2013 to re-establish itself in this division. There were incredible efforts from Louis Delport, who powered through the year with both bat and, in particular, ball making him one of the all round players of the division. Sys Meyer scored one of his trade mark innings with 151 against Trinity Mid Whits and ended up the team’s highest run scorer. Other notable contributions were new comer Eric Weirich and Ben Hunt, but as the position in the table indicated, contributions were few. Many congratulations to Leatherhead and Farnham for their promotion. Bring on 2013 for Pyrford. This was a difficult year for Pyrford 2nd XI with skipper and wicketkeeper James Lipscombe being side- lined for much of the season with a back injury. Notwithstanding, the season got off to a bright start with a number of impressive wins. As availability tailed off performances suffered, but the side achieved a creditable position mid-table. The team welcomed several newcomers and was particularly pleased to introduce a number of junior players into the side and see them develop as players worthy of their place in the team. The side looks forward to 2013 with renewed enthusiasm. Mention must be made of evergreen Martin Jones who topped the batting and bowling. It is especially welcome to see Martin performing so well as it always seems to inspire his wife Marie to put on yet another memorable tea. Those who enjoyed the Olympic themed teas will treasure the memory for a long time!

In retrospect third place for the Priory 1st XI this year was a good achievement for a team in transition. Poor performances in the 50 over format, inconsistent availability and a lack of depth meant that the team could not push for the title. With six matches to go the Llamas found themselves 1 point off top place but a washout and two defeats meant that Priory’s hopes of lifting the trophy were over. Highlights of the summer were some outstanding individual performances by Priory’s senior players. Will Hodson was the standout performer as he finished top wicket taker in the league with 45 at 13.02. The swing bowler took 4 five wicket hauls including a brilliant spell at Weybridge (8-30) helping Priory defend just 87. Fellow opening bowler Neil Saker took 26 wickets at 21.62, including a hat trick against Sutton, finishing with match figures of 7-30. On the batting front, Priory’s overseas player Delmont (741 at 49.4) and captain Murtagh (657 at 54.75) were the main contributors with 5 fifties and 1 century each. The pair also shared in a record Reigate 2nd wicket partnership at Sunbury racking up 254. Oliver, in his first season with Reigate, played his part by scoring 474 entertaining runs plus some stunning innings in the T20 helping Priory reach the semi-finals of the Surrey Cup. Perkins made 250 runs in 12 league appearances. There was some real promise shown by fast bowler Richard Stevens towards the end of the season and he should become a fine all-rounder for Reigate for years to come. Left arm spinner Chris Wigley also made an impact when available, including a devastating spell at Malden Wanderers claiming 6-21. After 9 successful years in the 1st XI, wicket-keeper Matthew Bennett has moved to New Zealand and the club thank him for all his efforts over the years. Thanks also to Paul Bridge (scorer) and Jean and Francesca for the teas. Despite finishing in 3rd place, the young Priory 2nd XI was left to reflect on what might have been after finishing undefeated in the last 10 games of the season. Overall, the side struggled with the bat during the wet start and improvements could only be seen towards the end of the year. However, with the ball it was a completely different story, as all sides struggled to post totals against the consistently tight RPCC attack. Noticeable performances with the bat were few and far between, but Ramsden’s 100 and Halton’s 96 against Sutton stood above the rest. Halton (36.63) was, by far, the more consistent of the 2nd XI batsmen and he was closely followed by Mirza (29.91). However both players, who are very capable of playing for the 1st XI, need to convert consistent starts into big runs, and only then will they push the selection team. Tye has started to stamp his mark on a consistent opening spot, but needs the confidence and concentration to convert good 20s into higher scores. It was also great to see other young 2nd XI players stepping up towards the end of the season to finish games under some pressure including Packham, Irving, Mclnley and Bunyan. Priory skipper Gale also returned to form in the final few games of the season. The bowlers did a fantastic job with only one opposition getting 200+ all season. Briggs (17 at 10.76/ Econ:3.04) was brilliant, opening up when fit and supported by the unlucky Cross (18 at 24.33/Econ:3.06), who kept running in and doing a fantastic job for the side. Harmer (22 at 17.91/Econ:2.82) continued to be economic and puzzle batsmen in the middle overs and he was ably supported by the very exciting line up of young spinners: Packham (6 at 49.17/Econ:4.24), Newbold (7 at 18.71/Econ:3.17), Davies (20 at 11.70/ Econ:3.26) and Wigley (13 at 17.85/Econ:3.43). Bunyan and Ramsden performed well behind the stumps. During 2012, the 3rd XI blooded new talent and regularly put out a team that was barely recognisable from the one that won in 2011. Inconsistent form throughout the season should have left them a long way off top spot, but it was only in the last month that the opportunity to retain the title slipped away, taking only 16 points from a possible 66 in the last six games. Jordan Bunyan’s early season form (254 at 63.5 in six innings) saw him quickly promoted to the 2nd XI. Alex Robinson (179 at 19.9) and Chris Bates (154 at 25.7) played about half the games, and the performances of students Oliver Altendorf (136 at 34.0), William Fry (126 at 21.0) and Luke Haughton (106 at 21.2) were encouraging for the future strength of the club when their availability increases. Shabbir Mookhtiar, Ben Baker, Connor Cody and Oliver Hartley made an impact on the bowling this season, and Michael Ramsden’s increased availability added some all-round versatility. Connor Newbold (7

91 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports wickets at 8.4 in three games) was swiftly moved up the sides but Mookhtiar ended the season as top wicket-taker with an impressive average of 12.6 in his first season at the club. Mookhtiar’s seam bowling was supported by the familiar pairing of James Brickley (22 at 14.86) and Simon Wickham (13 at 18.23) and the dependable swing of Ross McInley (12 at 14.1). Wickham’s 5-39 at home and 4-21 away against eventual league winners Wimbledon were the outstanding bowling performances of the year. Keith Briggs’ umpiring continues to be appreciated and respected by both the 3rd XI and their opposition, while the tea-ladies, Sarah and Francesca, have carried on marvellously from where Debbie left off last season. During a very difficult season, Jim Harmer’s tireless work on the St Albans Road wickets and outfield, along with Nick and Bob from Nutley Hall, should be given the acclaim that it deserves After the 4th XI’s disappointment of relegation, a number of issues were addressed to return the team to the Premier for 2013. New skipper Justin Dempsey was able to field a regular side in 2012 and with that came consistency of performance and the habit of winning. After losing the first game of the season to Trinity on a very soggy pitch, the Priory took 13 points from every game played. Fielding was much improved from previous years and quality keeping from Jonny Wickes and Alex Stewart meant chances were taken and extras kept to a minimum. Pressure was built by the bowlers, with Owen Morris, Supathi Panchal and Ed De Mott finishing the season with miserly economy rates. There was no let up from the change bowlers either with Steve Hamilton and Justin Dempsey taking regular wickets as teams looked to try and score. Ben Donovan came into the side later in the season and injected some pace into the attack. Teams were regularly bowled out for under 100 runs and despite collapsing to 86 all out batting first, the team defended it in a memorable game at Merstham. Vital early season runs were scored by Brijesh Patel, Richard Leuschke and Ed De Mott, with Tom Hornsey strengthening the batting order once exams were over. Ben Donovan also played a key role with the bat at the end of the season scoring 38* and 30 in must- win games against Trinity and Merstham. The side was pushed all the way to the title by Oxted & Limpsfield who also lost only one game all season – against Reigate in what was effectively the decider at Grub Street. Once again, it was the performance with the ball and in the field that meant the side emerged with the points, and ultimately, the title. Having a settled side that got used to winning is a theme the club will look to continue into the Premier for 2013.

After a truly amazing season for Sanderstead, winning Div 1 of the Fullers League, 1st XI hopes were high to gain promotion from Div 5 of the Surrey Championship; however, it was going to be difficult with the loss of all rounder Phil Roodt and one of the key batsmen Andrew Keen being out for most of the season. The season did not start too well when Sanderstead’s first two games were rained off meaning promotion would be difficult. The side started playing in the middle of May and got to winning ways immediately. By the middle of July, Sanderstead were surprised to sit on top of the league considering others had a 20 point start on them. However, the loss away to Old Kingstonians not only seemed to knock the confidence but it was going to be a hard struggle when Latif Ullah decided he did not want to play cricket anymore. In addition, Russ Carter was struggling with illness. Youngsters from the 2s were brought

92 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports in and did a really good job but Sanderstead had lost its winning ways. The luck just was not going the team’s way when in August there was still a slim chance of winning if Sinjuns could be beaten. After starting well the heavens opened and it meant Sanderstead had 4 games abandoned compared to others with only 1or 2. This year was just not meant to be. Special mention must go to the youngsters, Tyler Ward and George Jackson who came in to the team at a difficult time and did really well. Special mention must also go to the superb bowling of Simon Carter and Russ Carter and the superb batting of overseas player Abdul Muzammil. After promotion last year, the 2nd XI was unsure what to expect in an unknown league. Fortunately the side found its feet quickly and performed above all expectations, finishing 1st in a very competitive league. The bowling was the main strength and special mention must go to Scott Pettifor who finished as top wicket taker in the league, with 40 wickets, and the other opening bowler, Matt Hilton, not far behind with 34. Rob Rushforth and Chris Aeschlimann played the supporting act with plenty of spinners’ wickets. On the batting front, Yogi Branch led the way, amassing 526 runs which saw him named the leading run scorer in the league. Josh Cox-Brookers hard hitting returned nearly 400 runs for the side and captain Gregg Pettifor chipped in with a useful 250 runs. There were other good knocks from Scott Pettifor, Rodger Wallbank, Tom Archer and Tom Windsor as well. It is worth mentioning that although over 20 players represented Sanderstead 2s this year, the 11 players that won the league all graduated through the club’s superb colts system. This is a real success.

Following last year’s relegation the aim of a new look 1st XI that featured many players from the previous year’s 2nd XI was very much stabilisation. Safety from relegation was effectively secured with a win in the crunch game against local rivals Mitcham, however all through the season the team competed in patches without showing the consistency to turn promising positions into winning performances. In many games where narrow defeats were experienced it was often the overseas professional of the opposition side that made the difference, making the acquisition of a contracted player the key requirement for next year. Shaf Malik picked up 22 wickets whilst also skippering a side that too often suffered from a lack of continuity in selection due to inconsistent availability. Raza Sikander picked up 26 wickets to go with his 444 runs, compensating in part for the lack of an overseas professional. Maruf Khan, unfortunately absent for half the season, also showed that his aggressive batting style was more than adequate for first team cricket. Abu Malik and Moby Chaudry were the heroes against Mitcham in a must win game towards the end of the season, their century partnership ensured that relegation was avoided. The importance of staying in the Surrey Championship cannot be underestimated and despite a challenging season, this achievement was success in itself. Conversely the value of continuity of selection paid dividends for the 2nd XI, who at times threatened the top of the division before settling mid-table. This was a commendable effort given that most of the 2nd team consisted of 3rd team players from the previous season making the step up to 2nd team cricket, compounded by the fact that they were playing in a higher division after last year’s promotion campaign. The highlight was without doubt breaking the Surrey Championship record for the highest score, a feat that gained the interest of the local press, with a whopping 430 for 8 in 50 overs against Warlingham that included a century for Raza Khan and scores of 80 plus

93 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports for Zeeshan Chaudry and Zohaib Sheikh. Rojer Mozakar led the batting performances with just under 500 runs, whilst Moby Chaudrey and Sakib Shafi stood out with the ball, supported by Kash Malik’s medium pace. A new look 3rd XI led the table early on with a strong start to the season. However the inability to field their strongest team for enough of the season, compounded by poor fielding performances when defending strong totals, saw promotion hopes fade to a top half finish. Fate was also unkind with all of the games abandoned to rain happening to be against bottom of the table teams. Outstanding all-round performances from Sulli Saloojee, including a maiden century and multiple 5 wicket hauls were a joy to behold, but were restricted by unavoidable Saturday commitments. Zeeshan Chaudrey, top run scorer across all teams, led the way with the bat ably supported by Daniel Roberts, Adil Ahmed, Mo Fawad, Matt Boland, Nalin Nilaweera, Tom Garriock and Craig Persad, all registered scores of 50 plus. Sam Johnson also weighed in with an imperious century against Thames Ditton to finish the season on a strong note. Defending totals was the issue, with poor catching and ground fielding too often letting the bowlers down. There were some notable performances with the ball; Jeet Basak showing late form to swing his way to an impressive hat-trick and Taimoor Altaf consistently finding a line and length that bagged him 19 wkts. The 4th XI under debutant captain Ollie Williams secured second place in the Central Division, just missing out on an instant return to the Premier League. Team spirit was paramount to their success and often pushed them over the line in tight games in the later part of the season, including a fantastic chase of 120 having lost 8 wickets for just 58 against Thames Ditton. This game will live long in the memory and included a hat trick, a 5-fer and 33* all from no. 10 Andre Retief and 27* and a wicket from no. 9 Scott Anderson which included a 6 to win the match. All players contributed however, Iain Carver’s 85 and Johan Raaths’ three 50s aside, the strength mainly rested with the ball, with player of the season Sakib Shafi terrorising batsmen, captain Ollie Williams strangling them for runs and taking wickets in the opening overs and Andre Retief, Scott Anderson and Carl Holding all claiming match winning bowling performances. Fielding was also key to the team’s successes, with Don Davies and Andre Retief the stand out performers. Unfortunately what prevented even greater success was a habit early in the season of losing some very close games from winning positions, with batting collapses reminiscent of a mid 90s England side playing the Australians. A problem rectified by promoting Gideon Reeves to opener; he could teach Geoffrey Boycott the art of not giving his wicket away. The overriding success of the team has been the team spirit both on and off the pitch, with regular BBQs and social get togethers really putting the fun back into Saturdays; an infectious feeling that has permeated throughout the club. The team really gelled as a unit on the pitch by the end of the season and there is certainly more to come. All are confident the side can go one better and win the league next season.

It was a disappointing season results wise with the 1st XI only winning two games, finishing bottom and getting relegated to Division 5. Having lost almost the entire first eleven from the 2011 season the club decided to rebuild and promote youth, often fielding 5 or 6 underage players each week. The club was helped out with several players making their way across from the now defunct Carshalton club including Joe Prior, James Barber and Kieran Djilali who all made valuable contributions throughout the year. The bowling was quite often the shining light with Joe Prior (10 wickets), Mark Hindmarsh (20 wickets), James Manns (9 wickets) and Kieran Djilali (9 wickets) leading the way at the top of most innings, bowling tight lines and restricting the opposition well. Young bowlers such as Pablo Clark and Dan Pearce both showed maturity above their years, contributing well in every match they played. The batting varied throughout the year with the team failing to make 100 on several occasions. Slowly, but surely, the group improved with every match. Two young players Smiten Patel and James Smith both did a good job at the top of the order and have shown they will be class players in the future. Kieran Djilali (133 at 22.17), Greg Mclean (178) and Mark Hindmarsh (348 at 26.77) provided glimpses of form, but quite often failed to turn a good start into a big score. Despite being relegated, the future looks bright for the young squad; hopefully, with a few additions they should improve and be a force in the coming seasons.

Spencer 1st XI was deservedly promoted to the Premier League as Champions after a 3 year absence. The side was very consistent with only 14 players used all season, which helped a great spirit. The bowling and fielding was excellent, and most games followed a similar pattern; the top order getting into a mess, someone steps up to put a score on the board and then the bowlers producing the goods. In games against Dulwich (20/4 and 103/8), Beddington (79/6), Valley End (55/5 and 132/8), Old Whitgiftians (78/8), Spencer were deep in trouble batting first but were able to post 168, 255, 210, 146 respectively and pick up wins on all four occasions. Neil Baker scored 378 at 29.08 including 74 at Brook, Krishna Sivakumaran made 320 at 35 and a number of others played big innings at other times. Of special note was Pierre Jason’s and Danny O’Shea’s 7th wicket partnership of 122 against Beddington. The bowling was outstanding, Danny O’Shea was again excellent with his left arm spin for 36 wickets at 14, Steve Lewis a winter recruit from Sunbury took 19 wickets at 19, Patrick Turk returned to form with 16 wickets at 19, and George Edwards was at times a class apart to take 17 wickets at 14. Mentions must also be made of Michael Edwards and Asif Mohamadi who both chipped in with some important wickets. Thanks go to Chris Lowe for taking over scoring duties and doing a fantastic job this summer, Jenny and June Brown for teas, Spice Village for Lunches and to all the supporters who travel home and away. It was much appreciated. The 2nd XI’s relegation from Div 1 was equally surprising and bitterly disappointing. Too often the side got into winning positions only to miss out on the final wicket, or lose by a handful of runs. The defining weeks of the season were surely Rounds 9 and 10, when Walton and Farnham held on 9 down for losing draws. 26 points instead of 8 would have seen a comfortable enough finish. The six best batters from 2011 did not play for a variety of reasons, and it was a hole that was never really filled. Khawar Saleem returned to Spencer (He was 1st XI captain between 1999-2004), after five years at Old Ruts and shone with the bat scoring 336 runs at 42. Chris Baumann when pushed out of the 1’s was brutal hitting 135 vs. Walton and 89 against TMW, but unfortunately that was largely it with the bat. Wickets were shared around with 17 bowlers taking a wicket. Aqib Sindhu (16 wkts at 22), Anil Iqbal’s off spin (14 at 18), and 17 year old Gus Grant (13 at 24) showed a lot of potential with his off breaks. Relegation is never nice, lessons need to be learnt, and responsibility for players’ own performance taken. It is now time to show some ‘bounce-back-ability’. An exciting challenge faced new 3rd XI skipper, Samad Lone, with youth development being the key objective for the season. The team was inconsistent in terms of availability all year and 42 players were used overall. Leading wicket taker was Monty Sajdewa with 22 wickets at 15.91. Notable performers with the ball were Monty Sajdewa 5-33 vs. Malden, Shak Farooqi and Hussain Jafri both with 4-22 vs. Sunbury and Sameer Khan’s 9 overs 4-10 vs. Beddington. Colts Joynal Ahmed and Sameer Khan hugely impressed with the ball and bowled with great consistency and were unlucky at times. On the spin side Hamesh Thaker and Shak Farooqi provided good options when called upon. Leading run scorer was Samad Lone, 372 runs at 46.5 including 71* vs. Malden, 75 vs. Sunbury and 3 other innings falling just short of 50. Shak Farooqi provided key contributions throughout the season; 313 runs at 19.56 with 74 vs. Ashtead. Colts Aymun Ali impressed with the bat 162 runs with a great 46 vs. Wimbledon, Joynal Ahmed 161 runs with a match winning power performance vs. Sutton and Umer Riaz admirably showed his potential with some mature innings. Top catcher was Samad Lone with 6 catches. Lack of a seasoned keeper being available cost a number of points through the season and a new keeper has to be a target for 2013. Archie McPherson showed great promise when available. The final league position was a fair reflection based on the club providing priority for opportunities to the colts and the team is confident that the club can progress their league position next year. Thanks go to all those who played this season and the positive attitude and great flexibility shown during those last frantic

95 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports hours before the games due to last minute drop outs etc. The club has a sound base for progression next year at the lower elevens. In his debut season as captain of Spencer’s 4th XI, the skipper spent an interesting year alternating between pulling out what little hair he had left and congratulating a young and enthusiastic side. As every 4th XI captain will know, perhaps the key challenge is actually ensuring you have an XI. The calls of higher teams, exams and holidays meant that Friday evenings were rarely without pleading phone calls and panicky emails. The upshot of which meant that the 4ths rarely had anything resembling a settled side. However, some real stars both shone and emerged this year. Hussain Jafri was an immense figure, as vice-captain, leading wicket taker and second highest runs aggregate. It was a huge pleasure captaining Josh Scully, living embodiment of an Aussie larrikin. He batted beautifully on several occasions, bowled with purpose and possessed easily the most powerful arm in the side. The team’s vocabulary broadened in his presence too. Hassan Siddique was a pleasure to watch; batting elegantly in the mould of VVS Laxman. However, it was particularly gratifying to see any number of youngsters come through. Archie Macpherson kept with some elegance. Wasim Malik was perseverance personified with ball in hand. Alex Johnsen bowled some exceptional spells. Hamesh Thakar bowled with precision and accuracy. The captain looks forward to seeing the development too of Babar Hussain, who bowled with real menace at the tail end of the season. However, the star of this generation was Sameer Khan. His batting rarely had an opportunity to flourish (with the exception of a doughty rearguard action to get a losing draw from Woking), largely because his bowling often meant the side was chasing a low score. His return of 5 wickets for 6 runs in the ten wicket defeat of Normandy will be remembered for a long time. In summary, a hugely enjoyable season, a creditable 4th place in the league and a massive sense of potential regarding next year.

For a team used to competing for promotion it was a disappointing season for the 1st XI. In a year affected by the weather Cranleigh and Chessington played the most consistent cricket and were deservedly promoted; the club wish them both well in Div 2. Had the second game vs. Cranleigh gone in favour of Staines then it might have given the side impetus for a final push. Staines were lacking in both consistency and luck in a season dogged by late drop outs, extended holidays and work commitments. It was not all doom and gloom, a few regular names returned solid performances; Felix Walker (493 at 41) and skipper Kirk Mullard (410 at 29) with the bat. In support there was Adam Smith (228) and Chris Bolton (226) although both were disappointed not to have contributed more. With the ball it was once again Tim Bloomfield, who despite managing just 10 games returned 29 wickets at 9.55! If Tim had been available more, it could have been a different story. Sean Archer continued to be a solid performer and added another 20 wickets to his league tally. Felix added 18 wickets to his runs and Kenny Tuitt took 16. This season was also hopefully the start of a bright 1st XI career for young left arm seamer Ciaran Dunne. Since 2005 Captain Kirk has been the club’s overseas player. When Kirk joined the club the 1st XI was in Div 1 of the Surrey County League and he leaves with the side in Div 3 of the Surrey Championship. He will leave a lasting impression with opposition, umpires and teammates and will be greatly missed by everyone at Staines & Laleham. The Club wishes Kirk all the best for the future. In conclusion a massive thanks to all the umpires and members of the League Executive plus to everyone at the club responsible for the teas, ground and generally making cricket possible at Staines. There was much anticipation waiting for the new 2nd XI season but with the bad weather it was a relief once the team started playing in the second week of the league season. After bonus wins over Godalming, Woodmansterne and Cranleigh the team sat top of the table. A competitive draw against eventual champions Dorking was followed by a good win over Old Hamptonians leaving the side very much in the mix. However, away to winless Old Emanuel and chasing only 76, the side slumped to 73 all out. With cancelled games due to weather, a concession and weekends off due to the road race and cancelled Met Police fixtures the side only completed 3 games in the next 10 weekends! This made it

96 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports difficult to keep enthusiasm and momentum going. To compound matters further this period coincided with injuries to regular bowlers, Turner, McLeish and Ardis; when play was possible resources were depleted. Tom Oades and Chris Hunt made a good account for themselves and showed there is some depth of talent in both young and old alike! The last month saw some enjoyable games with a fifth win (of 11 completed games) coming on the last weekend. Avalon McLeish led the bowling with 25 wickets; further contributions came from Gary Turner with 18 wickets, Alex Ardis and Peter Roberts with 15 wickets each. Skipper Mark Stevens led the batting with 322 runs at 40 followed by Andy Cranston 298 at 26. Majik Patel showed greater consistency with a solid 163 at 23. A special mention goes to Harvey Parsons for his maiden century in the last game of the season. Overall it was a pleasing start in the Surrey Championship, particularly adapting to the new format. Next season will hopefully see some better fortune with injuries and more consistent availability. A big thank you to the tea ladies for organising and supplying the catering. Following promotion from the year before, the 3rd XI had not lost the ability to bowl teams out cheaply, but chasing down modest totals proved to be the team’s undoing. The batting did manage to hold together to register 4 wins, but perhaps double that number really should have been achieved. The bowling remained pretty solid throughout with the addition of the off-breaks of Deepan Ayisammy (15 wkts), 1 behind leading wicket-taker Colin Wynne. The majority of runs were provided by stalwarts John Nannery (the only batsman to reach 200 runs) and Paul Donlevy, the best innings of the season was provided by Ben Nannery – a magnificent 86 against Woking while all around him crumbled. Reduced availability at the end of the season saw several 3rd XI players performing admirably in the 2nd XI, but consigned the team to treading water for the last few games. However the introduction of some new faces (and re-introduction of some old ones) will hopefully benefit the whole club for the future. Despite the wettest of summers, the 4th XI enjoyed its finest season finishing second in the West Division. A remarkable overachievement especially given the selection challenges encountered on match day, however, the club always had a team, usually one containing several colts. The 4th XI enjoyed its cricket, played with plenty of team spirit embodied by the fact that someone always stood up to be counted. In between the 3 matches lost to the weather the side enjoyed a number of close matches, many demonstrated the positive side of cricket, including lending fielders to the opposition as substitutes for injured players and recalling batsmen erroneously given out. The team was the usual mix of colts and over 40s. The colts played with enthusiasm and talent, were a pleasure to play alongside, enhanced the team and reduced the competition for places in the slips! The improvement in all the colts was marked; reinforcing belief that 4th XI cricket is an excellent way of developing the young cricketers. Teams were often a family affair too; fielding 5 father-son combinations as well as 2 pairs of brothers. Dropped catches off your son can be quite an expensive business. There were a number of highlights this season, significant individual contributions included: 50s for Aditya Burda, Irfan Ali Khan, Hityesh Pabari, and Manish Srivastava; as well as 40s for Terry Fearn, Nathan Hunt and Gordon Leeks. There were 5-fors for David Gyves, 4-fors for Graham Cole and Peter Gyves, and 3-fors for Jay and Manish Pabari. Outstanding catches were made by Aidan Dennison, Peter Gyves and Shreyas Joshi. The 4th XI had a season to be proud of. It achieved the aim of developing younger players whilst involving everyone in the game. Thanks go to all who played; success was achieved as a team because of the contributions of everyone. Here’s looking forward to an equally enjoyable but drier 2013.

The 1st XI had high hopes of getting over the line this year; everything was in place for a good season despite a few unexpected player departures. Stoke played good, and on occasions excellent, cricket in spells but rarely in a whole game. A series of reverses in the opening weeks, losing 2 from positions of dominance, had the team looking over its shoulder. The only early win came against Godalming where Hiken Shah cracked one of his two centuries, before his unexpected recall by the Mumbai CA. Tail end resistance by Kingstonian, Sinjuns and Mitcham meant the team was light on points, leading to a brief flirtation with the relegation zone after a debacle at Godalming. The Olympic break came at the right time, players re-focussed and results improved.

97 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Victories over Dorking (James Lander 5-63) and Sanderstead (50s for Jack Raimondo and Tom Frost), relieved the pressure. A mid-table position was the end result with impressive wins in the last 2 games at Mitcham (Nick Lo 5-32) and Kingstonian where Will Gudgeon (123*) hit his first League century, fully justifying his elevation to No.3, a spot vacated by Tim Handel, in an indifferent season for him. Handel did register a 5-for (5-36 at Merrow), as did Toby Tarrant (5-30) in the same match – one still lost! Shah (6-74 vs. Oxted) was the only other player to bag a 5-for. Matt Gottschalk and Alex Bond bowled consistently without luck, and their performances were reflective of their commitment to practice. On reflection a year of transition; younger players got their chance. The pick were Dan Douthwaite with the ball and James Trower who earned a 1st XI place after impressing in the 2nd XI and Surrey Trust League matches. Other talented youngsters are now pushing for places in the side in 2013. Thanks to Drew and Jo for their continued support with umpiring and teas; and to John for getting the square playable despite horrific weather. It was a frustrating season for the 2nd XI due to poor availability and a lack of games. Late drop outs led to mid-week plans being scrapped by the morning of the match. Results reflected selection with 35 different players used in just 11 games! The players showed what could be achieved with commitment. The team lost both games narrowly against worthy champions Oxted & Limpsfield but did the double over Chessington. On other occasions a lack of runs crippled the side with only one total over 200. Winter practice must also involve coin tossing! Only five 50s were scored. Captain John Crisp (72) and James Corbishley (66) against Chipstead, sharing the only century stand of the season. Peter Phipps toughed it out for 52* at Horsley & Send; as did Dom Morley who stood firm for 58 vs. Oxted on a wet one whilst the rest of the team collapsed around him The best individual innings was James Trower’s 69* to control a successful run chase at Chessington. Youngsters Trower, Corbishley, Morley, Nico Spreeth, Will Thomson, Alastair Curran and ‘Surrey Emerging Player Programme’ call-up Olly Trower all impressed and should score heavily in future seasons. With the ball, Adrian Mills snared 19 wickets at 12.37 to give his captain control. He bagged 4-50 at Chessington and 4-52 at home to Oxshott. Crisp, Gary Harkett and Ralph Coleman also took 4-fors. Jase Earl bowled without luck, Andy Page’s medium pacers were useful and Jeremy Connell should benefit next year from a run of games. Of the younger generation, Spreeth, Baz Medlycott and Paddy Wilson added to the bowling options and performed well. Malcolm Dickson was ever present and kept well. Tom Gudgeon took the catch of the season at Chipstead. Becca kept an excellent scorebook made the production of match reports easy. With fewer injuries and non-cricket activities in 2013 the club looks forward to a better season next year.

Promotion following two years in Div 4 was an excellent achievement for SMCC’s 1st X1 which the weather did it’s best to prevent. SMCC suffered 4 abandonments (3 more than their nearest rival) to achieve a distant second place behind runaway winners Chipstead, Coulsdon & Walcountians. The 2012 1st X1 had fight in abundance and rarely knew when they were beaten. This showed through a number of times in the season but perhaps, most crucially, in the opening fixture against CCW. At 160-0 at drinks, CCW looked in position to post a winning total. Soon SMCC had the breakthrough and twenty overs later, had squeezed the remaining batsmen out for a further 32 runs. The chase ebbed and flowed until the equation read 8 to win off 3 balls. Warren Little (who was later voted Player of the Year) launched a length ball over long on and then chipped over the infield to secure victory. This victory became a mantra for the rest of the season, whatever position the side found themselves in. SMCC struggled to put together a full performance for the rest of the season, the middle/lower order were often required to rebuild a faltering innings. The stop-start nature of the season did little to help batsmen find form; Ellis (274 at 39) and Dias (234 at 29) were the only two to pass 200 runs but a number of others provided valuable runs with averages in the twenties. In fact, the final 5 wickets averaged 10 more runs than the top 5 by the end of the season. The bowlers, however, rarely had an off day; Mortimore (22 wickets at 10.3 runs), Dias (22 at 9.6) and McGill (20 at 13.3) were the pick, backed up by a very mobile

98 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports fielding unit. It was only in the final game of the season, with promotion already secured, that over 200 runs were conceded. Many thanks go to those who represented the 1st X1 in 2012, Roger Price for providing an excellent pitch to use and Eileen De Ruyter for her teas. The 2012 season produced some excellent 2nd XI and individual performances, but an overall lack of consistency in performance and availability led to a frustrating 7th place finish in the league. The season started with an opening day loss to Pyrford, but after that the 2s found their feet to record 3 straight wins against Ashford, Thames Ditton and Cobham Avorians. This run contained some excellent performances, including the bowling of Sharad Patel who had spells of 4 for 20 and 6 for 45; and the batting of Neil Shah (78 against Ashford), and Kirk De Ruyter (123 against Cobham). The following games brought mixed results but also the best bowling performance of the season, James Ilbery recording figures of 18-2-59-7. Jack Thomas scored the 2nd century of the year for the 2s against Cobham Avorians but it was the bowlers turn to let the side down, as they were unable to prise out Cobham despite 60 overs bowling at them. The start of August ended any promotion hopes with losses to Woking and Ashford and the mixed form continued until the end of the season. Overall there were some excellent contributions from the team, with Eldridge scoring 321 league runs, and Dan Langan 306. No other batsman passed 200, however the likes of Janaum Rao and Rhys Hayward will surely score plenty more runs next year given more appearances. Paul Corns took 29 league wickets, with Eldridge and Sarwan taking 19 apiece. Good bowling contributions also came from James Ilbery (15 wickets), Sharad Patel, Sagar Mehta and Ben Walker. One of the most invaluable contributions to the team came from Eddie Goodchild who umpired with integrity and good humour throughout. A greater consistency in selection (45 players were used by the 2s in 2012) will undoubtedly lead to better performances next year and the talent in the squad is without doubt capable of pushing for, and attaining, promotion. A decent campaign saw the 3rd XI come close to promotion but ultimately fall just short. A 6th place finish, having won a very creditable 9 games, was a good return for the season and promotion seems a definite possibility next term. Two main reasons for the improved performance were greater consistency of selection and a bowling attack that, initially at least, fired well. Mohammad Safi (24) and Rory Thomas (20) were two young bowlers who performed well but for both there is a need to improve their all-round game if they are to make the most of their ability. The batting was dominated by Martin Thompson (488 runs) who was also comfortably the highest scorer in the league. Chris Sowton (232) and Mark Bartolo (223) also contributed strongly; however, the rest of the players did not contribute as strongly as needed for a team to go up – these three provided 65% of the runs for the campaign. An honourable mention should also go to Matt Begg, who kept beautifully all season. In the end a good season but one which just lacked those extra qualities to really push for promotion. The 4th XI suffered a difficult first season in the Premier Division, they would ultimately be relegated following a last day defeat. The season was one where the bowling attack proved a match for the Premier batting line ups but a distinct lack of runs would ultimately be the team’s undoing. Only five players scored over 100 runs in a season ruined by the weather, skipper Henderson leading the way with 197 at an average of 32.83. On the bowling front, wickets were shared around with Lewis Knapp ending as top wicket taker with 13, including a maiden league 5 for on the season's closing day. Overall it was a disappointing end to a season that the team will surely bounce back from.

Sunbury 1st XI finished second for the 2nd consecutive season and while they have every reason to reflect positively on an enjoyable season, they will also look back with frustration at costly key moments. Of these; a nail biting loss by 4 runs against a determined Malden Wanderers dented early season progress, stubborn resistance from Banstead and then Wimbledon in consecutive weeks meant that potential wins became winning draws, before bad light brought an end to the title charge at Reigate Priory. Adam London led the way with the bat. The standard bearer for the entire league, Adam batted with the poise and class of a first-class player and will surely get his opportunity soon, his early season form, which

99 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports saw him score 3 hundreds in his first 4 innings, was a joy to behold. John Maunders was London’s chief ally and their partnerships were central to most totals of any significance. Olly Roland-Jones lacked his usual consistency, but found form to help chase 280 at Normandy and with Maunders and London, these three contributed 60% of the team’s runs. The bowling relied heavily on Matthew Todd who picked up 43 wickets at 14.88 and showed remarkable consistency. He was well supported by Justin Granger and John Maunders in the seam department, while Adam Stanier finished strongly to pick up 26 wickets, his swing bowling continues to progress every year. Vishal Manro, Haroon Aslem and Amar Virdi all showed promise at various points in the season and while the depth of the seam department may be a cause for concern, the future for the spinners looks far brighter. Stuey Poynter was tidy behind the stumps but will hope for bigger and better things next season, particularly with the bat, where he should push to become a more consistent scorer. Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie made welcome cameos; the ground and wickets were always well prepared, the lunches carb- heavy and the evenings merry - a trophy next year will help to make them even merrier. This was not a season to be proud of for the 2nd XI with 40 players used and, due to an accidental admin error, a deduction of 41 points made for a very frustrating year. However, when there is doom and gloom there are rays of light that help look forward to the future. A first full season in the 2nd XI by Rhythm Bedi resulted in 341 runs, with his leg spin improving, he will surely be a big player for Sunbury next year. Ross Wright averaged almost 70 with a superb 100 at Normandy which set up one of the few victories. There were also good scores from Sean Ventham, Richard Hall, Charlie Holcomb and Gavin Spencer (both back from retirement!) showing that the side has enough good batsmen to set challenging scores and chase down targets. The bowling never had real penetration all season, nearly all the strike bowlers from previous years going AWOL. Haroon Aslem gave control often, as did Matt Nichols and Colin Bentall, however the side never made enough early inroads to win more games. Young seamers Salik Awan and Ishwar Sohi did show promise and hopefully next year can produce the wickets needed. The true star of the show was Amar Verdi, at only 14 he took 21 wickets at 16, forcing his way into the 1st XI where he also impressed. What a great future this young cricketer has! Thanks go to Gus Utting for umpiring and Peter Lewis for scoring, as without them it would have made for a harder season. So, to next season and redemption is not far away. The team can surely bounce straight back and be playing in the league it should be. A changed and very young 3rd XI finished 3rd in a very competitive league. The team started badly, during the middle it played superb cricket and was in title contention but ran out of steam in the latter half of the season. Poor availability led to inconsistent cricket and better preparation is a must for next year. In the crunch games the side needed more experienced batting. New players Lomash Sharma, Ishwar Sohi, and Shiv Sawroop all played for the 3rd team during the season. Lomash and Ishwar became regulars, performed well and have increased competition for places. Simon Young’s work commitments restricted his availability as wicket keeper but he was an important cog and contributed well with the bat and the gloves. 8 wins were achieved, including wins over champions Reigate Priory and a nail biting 1 wicket victory against Banstead. After 4 games of the season the team was in the bottom 2. The fight back started with a convincing win away to Spencer, Lomash smashing 87 and Amar Verdi bowling superbly picking up 5 wkts. Top of the batting averages was Lomash, (300 at 34 in 14 innings) with 87 against Spencer and a crucial 50 in the win against Banstead. Chasing 170 after being 25 for 6, Lomash was supported by Ishwar who also a scored a match winning 50. On the bowling front, wickets were shared around the bowlers. Skipper Manvinder Sehmi (19 wickets) was leading wicket taker, backed up by Lomash Sharma, Nish Madan, Ishwar Sohi and Saran Kalsi; Alex Hughes, Sam Burgess, James Birch and Shirsh Bedi all chipped in. At times Saran and Ishwar were unplayable but without the luck they deserved. In economy terms Nish Madan was the pick of the bowlers. With better consistency and the continued progression of the younger players, the team should be able to improve on this year’s placing and push for the title next year. Despite the inclement weather and variable 4th XI availability 2012 proved to be an enjoyable and successful season with the side in third place in the Surrey Championship Premier. This was achieved with good team work and spirit; the result tally was 9 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw and 3 abandoned. The batting proved to be a concern from time to time but there were some good team performances, notably chasing 185 at Woking and scoring 189 at Normandy to set up a fine win. There were only 4 players who scored a 50, Winston Veerender (62), Anoop Manro (55*), Andy Price (50) and Curtis Higgins (87*) which shows that on occasions a great deal of pressure was put on the bowling and fielding. The bowling was led by Bill Kincaid (28) and Nobby Clarke (25) supported by Shiv Sawroop, James Birch and Shish Bedi. There were some excellent spells during the season from Shiv Sawroop (6-44), Amar Virdi (5-22), and Nobby Clarke (5-12 in 12 overs).

100 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

These, coupled with the emergence of young bowlers, meant the side proved to be competitive in most games. Improved availability and the continued balance between young cricketers and experienced players should enable the team to have high hopes for next season.

2012 was again another poor season for Sutton’s 1st XI as finishing seventh was not a true reflection of the team’s talent and potential. During the season the side rarely batted, bowled and fielded well in the same game and along with inconsistent availability, made this a fairly frustrating season. There were however a few highlights. Overseas player Tas Yazdani with 255 runs and 35 wickets was the leading all- rounder. Tas took three 5 wicket hauls and a superb 7 for 26 against Sunbury, which set up a comfortable victory. The ever reliable Greg Betz took 27 wickets that included 2 five wicket hauls and again proved to be one of the best new ball bowlers in the league. With the bat, Gary Outram scored 589 runs which included 2 hundreds. Michael Thornely, a new recruit this season, showed his quality with both bat and ball, and Arun Harinath, who averaged 55 after only 7 games, were both missed due to County commitments. Sam Woods, Josh Allen and James Wright all showed potential with significant contributions and with quality young players like this coming through the ranks, the side looks forward to the 2013 season. Gratitude goes to all the umpires; to Anne for her patience and excellent scoring; Sarah and Chris for the delicious teas and lunches; to the committee for their hard work and dedication and a big thank you to the loyal supporters. Finally, congratulations to Wimbledon, who fully deserved the title. The 2nd XI had a disappointing first year back in the Premier Division. Terrible availability throughout the club and a lack of batting depth cost the team the chance to press for top place. This was reflected by the statistics that 6 captains and 40 players were used during the season and only 7 players played 10 or more games. No batsman scored anywhere near 300 runs. Whilst the bowling and fielding were generally decent throughout, the batting struggled with the best players continually disappearing upwards. Unfortunately this was a year in which the side did not have the playing depth to cope without them. The club desperately needs strengthening next year if it wishes to carry on at Premier level. A lot more hard work is needed off the field for players to make the most of their abilities. With a stronger division this year the 2s may not have made the cut despite finishing in a comfortable mid table position. There were plus points. The emergence of James Wright who subsequently went up to the 1s proved a good signing with his explosive batting and brisk seamers. His brother Sam again showed ability with bat and ball. Josh Allen proved a superb player for the 2s when he played but now needs to go away and work hard to ensure he can bridge the gap to 1st team level. Callum Henshaw (17 at 18) also bowled very well in his 1st season in English conditions. Spencer Champ (20 at 13) was consistently good in a new ball pairing, up there with the best in the league and ended up as top wicket taker. Dominic Tuohey (17 at 13) was back bowling consistently well with his left arm spin. Thanks go to Sarah Edwards, Brian Webb and Chris Clapham who certainly showed more commitment than a number of players in turning up for their respective duties of tea making, umpiring and scoring! The main aim for the 3rd XI this year was to cement and maintain Premier League status. The cement was more like quick sand as the side teetered above the relegation zone for a large part of the season! Poor availability played its part, and the team experienced players playing “up” an XI for many games. All 40 players used this year made a contribution, and the side secured premiership status on the last game of the season - nothing like leaving things to the last minute! Key performers with the bat were Simon Bliss (358 runs at 29.83) and Jamie Griffin (277 at 23.08). Notable performers were also Bob Foster and Bhavin Vaghela. One ton was scored during the year by Rory Geddes, and a superb innings it was. Steve Hall (21 wkts at 16.95) once again led the bowling charge (mainly on one leg) supported by Phil Diaper (14 at 24.04) and Bhavin Vaghela (13 at 15.00). A special mention goes to Owen Kennett and Josh Blake – two 13 year olds who grew in confidence and stature as the season progressed – 1st teamers in the making? The team looks forward to playing more cricket with these talented youngsters and, with a couple more in the ranks mixed with a bit of experience

101 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports from the older guard, the side can look forward to 2013. This blend of youth and experience is what 3rd XI cricket is all about. Many thanks go to Dave Fawcett and Clive Quinton for 1st class umpiring duties; to Sam Griffin for his scoring (and iPad wagon wheels) and Sarah Chris for again providing excellent teas all season. The 2012 season was a tale of two halves for Sutton’s 4th XI. Once the weather had improved to allow fixtures to take place, Sutton came out of the blocks strongly by winning 6 of the 7 matches. Many of these were low scoring and tense affairs with the ball definitely dominating the bat! Over the second half of the season Sutton experienced a marked decline in player availability and with it the team’s fortunes. The tables had turned and the side only managed to win 1 of 7 fixtures leaving the team in mid-table at the end of the season. As with last season, credit must be given to the younger colts who performed admirably throughout the season and on many occasions outshone the adults both in performance and technique – especially in the batting department! Special mention must go to both Rehan Ratnasapabathy and Jonathon Eales (both U13) for securing an important draw with Epsom by batting out 23 overs against some sustained, hostile bowling. Shanaal Dhevoxajah (U13) also batted with maturity and technique up the order. There is much confidence that these young players will play a higher standard of cricket for Sutton in the years to come. Rob Barnard should also be mentioned for his career best figures against Old Ruts – 35 for 8 off 12 overs. If only he could play more regularly! The last 4 years have been thoroughly enjoyable and the outgoing captain wishes good luck to the new skipper in 2013!

After a strong finish to the 2011 season, TDCC 2nd XI started the 2012 campaign with high hopes of climbing further up the table. Although the batting let the team down in places, such was the nature of Div 3 this year that the side was in the hunt for 3rd place until the last two games of the season. Unfortunately these games were lost and the team finished the season in a lowly 8th place, only 20 points behind third. The summer started well for the team with early victories over Egham, Addiscombe, Warlingham and Cobham Avorians, a tie with Sinjuns and only three losses. However the side only managed three more victories and lost games it should have won which, ultimately, saw the team drop down the table. The low point in the season was being bowled out for 46 away at Addiscombe chasing 145 and the high point was a rain affected match at Pyrford where Thames Ditton scored 209 and then restricted the home side to 148 (chasing an adjusted target of 162). This season’s stats were led by one player, Nailson Raj, who scored more runs (232 at 21.2), took more wickets (31 at 11.6) and catches (6) than anyone else in the team and was crowned 2nd XI Player of the Year. Other notable contributions were, in the batting: Devesh Patel 183 at 12.2, Joel Avery 144 at 18 and Jan-Hendrik Botha 143 at 21.5 and bowling: Shayne Cossey took 25 at 15.6, Richard Spiler 20 at 16 and Tamil Senthilkumar 16 at 18.1. There were many other important contributions from the likes of Stuart Broom, Jamie Pemberton, Garin Bisschoff, Richard Jell and Chris Dixon. This season has shown that the side can be competitive in Div 3 if only it can bat more consistently. Lastly, special thanks go to new umpire Brian Nathan, who stood in the middle come rain (!) or shine. The Thames Ditton 3rd XI season kicked off with an abandonment due to poor weather and although the weather remained poor the season was far from a washout. An unbeaten 122 from chairman Brian Chesterman against Farnham and 102* for longstanding club man Jon Fairhurst against Chertsey were two of the highlights. They were not alone, however, with 6 other players also making 50s. Overall the batsmen began to show signs that they could perform to a level commensurate with a club of this stature. Of the 34 different players selected for the 3rd eleven in 2012, 22 of them performed with the ball. Akash Kapoor, Jody Alexander and Nick Guest all made 5 wicket hauls and were accompanied by 5 other bowlers getting 3 or 4 wickets in a match. The bowlers were supported in the field by everyone who represented the 3s. There were some sublime catches all over the park and 4 direct hit run outs. In Chris Rigby’s first season as skipper the aim was to finish in the top half of the league and although this was not quite achieved, a final position of eleventh place showed progress against 2011. The victories 102 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports included Kingstonian, Chertsey and Staines & Laleham but perhaps the most rewarding result was a win against Guildford City who finished fifth. There are plenty of positives to take out of this season. The team welcomed 5 new players to the 3s and promoted three from the 4s and enjoyed a sense of teamwork and camaraderie throughout the season. Having gone through 2011 with no victories at all, the objective for the 4th XI for 2012 for was simple – Get a Win! However, the side had to wait until 9th June to record that precious victory, by just 17 runs against Worcester Park. Invigorated by this experience of “winning”, the team then went on what can only be called a ‘run’ with wins in the next two games against Old Rutlishians and Walton. After the drought – how sweet those victories were. The team did go on to take all the points in one more game in the season making it four victories in all. Despite finishing at the foot of the table (after the withdrawals) the team feel it made real progress and will be back next year to show further improvement. Thanks must go to Wes Steyne who led the team with great enthusiasm and to the stalwarts who turned up most weeks to give of their best efforts and who celebrated the wins in style including: Nad Ahmed, Amrik Natt, Jai Patel, David Packington and more. There is real spirit in the side and in the league; thanks to all opponents for playing in such a sporting manner.

The 1st XI ultimately achieved a seventh place finish. This summer was as much about bedding in new players and further developing exciting young talent than realistically challenging. The final game, a nail biting victory away at Esher, was proof for 2013 that tenacity and ability exist to beat quality sides when all working parts are fully functioning. The campaign got off to a positive start with three convincing wins from four matches. Ashford were dismantled, Cobham Avorians swept aside and moving through the gears Horsley & Send were beaten with a fine Richard Piggin century and a scintillating 80* from overseas player Jason Shield. Something then changed, with four losses on the bounce. The side was outgunned by Esher’s talent, out-nerved by Farnham’s experience, a self-inflicted defeat by Worcester Park and a bad day at the office against a two-man Pyrford. Reality bites hard, especially when availability begins to fluctuate. There were, however, positives aplenty. In Ali Abbas (31 wickets at 16), whose fizzing off-spin is perfectly paced on slow, sticky wickets, Mids found a rough diamond. The young seam attack of Winter and Roberts, who snared 25 victims at a strike rate of just 22, were joined by Thishan Wanigaratne. Pacey and languid, ‘Tish’ showed his class as the season unfolded. With the bat, Mids were inconsistent; confident when setting totals, too fragile when asked to chase. Four batsmen amassed 300+ runs, but a cornerstone was missing. Shield, if available for the full term, would surely have provided this. Shorten back for a one season cameo will be missed, but in young batter Tommy Smith, Mids may have found a gifted player to build around. Nowell ‘semi-retires’ and stands down as skipper, allowing Chatwal to step up. Will Page is ready to take the gloves; Christian Bond and Kunal Patel are dynamic young all-rounders. These are exciting times at Lime Meadow and greater heights can be reached, albeit with a few necessary tweaks. You could not have scripted two completely opposite halves to the 2nd XI campaign. Caught in the starting gate after a couple of cancellations, 5 consecutive victories shot the side to the top of the table where it remained during an uncertain wet mid-season, only to implode with 5 consecutive defeats before a consolatory final day win. The fact that 30 players took the field throughout explains some of the inconsistency. Robert Warne stepped in to lead the side and led the batting from the front with 492 runs; Tom James (287) and Dinesh Poobalasingham (231) were the other batsmen of note, although Laurence Bruggemann’s 90 against Spencer showed promise. Dave Jewiss was by far the best and most consistent bowler taking 30 wickets, including two 5-wicket hauls; Gunjal Patel (14) bowled well at times, with Gavin Piper (12) and Nick Bradwell (11) providing useful support. Fourth in the table was probably a fair overall reflection of an up and down season, perhaps best remembered for an excellent chase at Beddington, a strong Spencer side that somehow managed to get

103 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports relegated, a complete reversal against Farnham that mirrored the upturn in results when the visitors included a significant number of their 1st XI. With Div 1 of the 3rd XI League splitting at the end of the season, the main priority was to finish in the top 10. The first half of the season ended up being very successful, whilst the second half was less so. Of the first 8 games 5 were won, 1 was lost by 5 runs to eventual champions Guildford, a winning draw with the opposition 9 down and a game rained-off. The second half featured only 1 win, 3 losses, a losing draw and 3 games lost to the weather. Mike Asbury was the star bowler, finding the slow, wet wickets very much to his liking as he took 38 wickets - 5 times 5 in an innings - at an average under 10. He was ably supported by Gary Revel-Chion with 17 wickets. The rest were shared around with Bob Cowlard also taking 5 in an innings. For once the team displayed batting consistency with 9 players sharing 10 half-centuries between them. Kevin Pacey led the way with 247 runs whilst Adeel Shafique’s 86* to win the game against Old Rutlishians was the best individual performance. A final league position of 7th achieved the aim for the season, although this could and should have been better. The weather did not help in convincing players to make themselves available and once July and August arrived, this lack of availability took its toll on the side. Looking forward to next season, with a few less injuries and a few more sunny days the side should be able to compete in the new Div 1. The 4th XI achieved five victories from the first 7 matches, including the only defeat inflicted upon champions Reigate Priory in a watchful season opener, which left the team riding high. However, the same problems that befell the 2nd and 3rd XIs around the middle of the season became magnified for the 4th XI. It is difficult to pin down the reasons for such a significant change in fortunes, but it is probably fair to say that there was not a main contributor, more a variety of unfortunate events that conspired together – possibly including cancelled matches due to the appalling weather that itself brought about a general malaise, the Olympics and an enforced week off that came at completely the wrong time. Dave Martin (150 runs) deserves credit for standing in as captain, an unenviable task especially when having to contend with more than 40 players representing the side throughout the season. Bob Cowlard led the attack, claiming 20 wickets and was ably supported by Mark Butterworth (12) and veteran Graham Crouch (12). More commitment and consistent availability throughout the Club will be required in 2013.

2012 was always going to be a challenge for the 1st XI with new grounds and the longer format. The weather put a 3 week hole in preparation resulting in a slow start in the first 50 over match against Molesey. Strong performances in the next two matches got the side moving but unfortunately the longer format seemed to instil a degree of panic in the batsmen, losing to Ashtead and Spencer. The rains came again just as the team was finding its feet and combined with the loss of Brook and some cycling, just one match was played in July; promptly lost on a drying pitch at Old Whits. July saw the move to the new ground. Appearances are often deceptive and the ugly portacabins actually offered a massive improvement in changing and shower facilities for both players and officials. The return to limited overs offered some relief with wins against Beddington and Purley. There was still a glimmer of hope but sadly a local thunderstorm washed out the match against Ashtead leaving the team no hope of promotion. Cracking wins followed at Cheam, chasing 295 and against worthy champions Spencer, leaving the side in 4th place, a tantalising 2 points short of the second promotion place. Redwood led the batting again with 504 and MacQueen headed the wickets with 28. The 2012 highlight was victory in the CCC Cup. Wins against four Premiership clubs led to the final against Essex giants Brentwood. Batting first at a damp Amersham, a steady start blunted the Brentwood attack before Kingsnorth’s 64 from 40 balls pushed the team to 236 from 45. Brentwood was never in the match and tottered to 112 for 9 before the last wicket pair added 78. This was a great day out for the club and made up for some disappointing Saturdays. The team thanks Stan and John for scoring and Steve Redwood for the best pitches in the division. Two successive promotions saw the 2nd XI reach the heady heights of Div 2 and with the same core of

The dire weather would play a major part in the season and with the first two games washed out, it was not until mid May that the campaign got going against Camberley. Two big wins in the ‘overs’ games against Camberley and Old Whitgiftians got the side off to a good start. The 2nd XI then had the honour of being the first Saturday League side to play on the new ground at Woodlands Lane. There then followed a recurring problem of losing the toss in the ‘time’ games and struggling to bowl sides out. Only one win in the next six games, including the only loss of the season to Esher, left the side in fourth behind Purley, Old Rutlishians and Sanderstead. Notable stats for the season were on the batting side, Justin Gray topped the run chart with 484 runs at 37, which included two 50s and one 100 against Bank of England. Mike Tilles scored 394 at 43 with four 50s, Jason Redwood 302 runs at 33 with three 50s, and Ian Guest 201 runs at 33 with one 50 and one 100 also against Bank of England. Stu Tomlinson also scored a century against Old Wimbledonians. On the bowling side, Stevie Wellman topped the wickets column with 29 wickets at 14 with one five wicket haul against Esher. He was followed by Nick Wellman with 22 wickets at 16 with one five wicket haul, Jason Coleman with 22 wickets at 18 and one five wicket haul and Mark Tomlinson with 16 wickets at 23. Chris Goodman also took five wickets in the one and only game he played for the 2nd XI. There were mixed feelings for the 3rd XI when looking back on the 2012 season. Despite a 3rd place finish, the best performance in the team’s history, to end up just 11 points off promotion despite having more cancellations than any of the promotion rivals was frustrating. Whilst there is no doubt that the weather had an uneven hand in denying promotion chances, the team also has to take responsibility themselves. Little did the side know it way back in May but failure to chase down after restricting Weybridge to a below par 126 would prove decisive in the final reckoning and congratulations to them on achieving Premier League cricket. Having comprehensively beaten Esher, the early season defeat at Weybridge was followed by a heavy defeat at Old Whitgiftians. Great credit goes to the lads for showing resolve and turning the corner with three successive wins against Old Wimbledonians, Hampton and Leatherhead to get the side back in contention. Just when momentum was building, the weather intervened for three weeks and the lack of cricket really showed against Oxted! That was the final blip, the team ended with four straight victories only interrupted by the weather which somewhat inevitably ended the promotion hopes by washing out the penultimate match against Normandy. In terms of individuals new skipper Matt Shepherd led the runs with 240 as a low scoring summer and call ups led to no other player exceeding 200. Individual performances of note came from Steve Mitchell with 96* vs. Cheam and Ian Wordley with 82* vs. Trinity. U15 seam bowler Jake Dunbar showed the club have one for the future and jointly led the wickets with Shepherd, both taking 12. They were followed by

105 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Chris Goodman (11 wickets from 30 overs) including two brilliant 5 fors. The goal for 2013 is to keep the core of this side together along with the talented youngsters and make it Premier Division cricket in 2014! The 4th XI started the season on Woodlands Lane with the usual mix of young and old and Dave Ball in charge. An early change with Rob Kerr as skipper, followed at the end of June with a change of venue, swapping with the 1st XI and playing on the Club’s original ‘Windlesham Park’ pitch. The promise of the old pavilion, a road of a batting track and the ambience (bar) of the old ground attracted some of the club’s stalwarts and they wasted no time showing the youngsters how it was done. Outstanding performances from Steve Gould, Colin Hadley, Wayne Gregory, Ian (Ted) Wordley, Malcolm Lea and Chris King were ably supported by the younger element of Charlie Barkham, Dean Freeman, Will Norman, James Gower et al. Adrian Gale refused to just score and rumbled on for another season, bowling each week in partnership with people generally 1/3 his age such as Ed Ames, Deven Gajjar, Sam Barkham, Simon Cooper, Stewart Morgan and Jamie Chatfield. The 3rd XI soon cottoned on to the side’s early season young talent with Ryan Adams joining last year’s transfers as regular fixtures in the team, with others making “guest appearances”. Despite the truncated season 40+ people played for the team of which 30+ bowled and at the end of the season everyone still wanted more; so the side goes forward with every confidence in the young players as they climb the ranks and look to the Valley End Spirit to encourage members on for a more complete season in 2013.

A fifth placed finish for the 1st XI does not seem to sum up the vicissitudes of the summer. At times, mainly at home, the side was very good, however at other times, mostly away, it was too easy to get on the back foot and far too many points were poured down the drain. In the end, the only away win (other than Cobham who sadly got beaten by everyone) came at Horsley in the last game of the season. It was hard to pinpoint the reasons for the away day blues. Losing tosses (only 4 wins out of 18) and batting second seemed to show more correlation with the losses. When things were going well, that created confidence throughout the team. When times were tough, the side lacked one or two strong characters. In a desperate year for batters everywhere, Chris Harrison and overseas player James Godfrey were the only two to break the shackles, with 467 runs at 39 and 650 at 45 respectively. It was good to see Harry show signs of the ability that he has, and James was the highlight of the season. He has real class as evidenced by his assault on Pyrford for 146*. With the Bainbridges in their autumnal years, there are big boots to fill, and Will Grant, Tim Walker, Ali Stanley, Bilal Chohan and Chris Madoc-Jones, all under 20 and regulars in the side, have the opportunities and support they need to be great Walton cricketers. Bowling and fielding was of a high standard, and has shown vast improvement. The bowling highlight was the three young seamers, Chohan, Nick Kent and Jimmy Newell, working together to finish with 26, 24 and 24 wickets respectively. All rounder Chohan has been a great addition. The young seam attack will hopefully carry the club forward for years to come. There is no question that the club has one of the best sets of young players in the county and expect them to stick together and become the core of a strong first team which will work its way up the leagues. It was a long and ultimately disappointing season for the 2nd XI, although not one without positive signs for the future. Availability was terrible in the first half of the season and the side was unable to pick up points fielding quite weak XIs at times. The team was nonetheless frustrated by being on the wrong end of several close results, which turned the season in the wrong direction. After the Olympic break things improved markedly – although it was too late to beat the drop – and a real team spirit was fostered among a group of predominantly younger players. Jonny Stephens led the batsmen with 277 runs at 28, while Sam Gorvin made 266 at 27. George Vaughan, with 180 runs at 26 and 11 wickets at 22, may well have made the all-rounder classification had

106 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports he been able to play more than seven times. Skipper Dean Carter led the bowlers with 16 wickets at 30, followed by the indefatigable Ben Goswami (14 at 17), Vaughan and Chris Madoc-Jones (10 at 15). Key to the optimism surrounding the final fixtures was the emergence of several younger players who helped the side to a string of victories. Joe Button (who played the innings of the season with a scintillating 112* vs. Farnham), Jamie Mann, Chris Williams, Ed Hougasian and Ben Monk are all aged under 21 and can look forward to providing the backbone of the side next season as the team looks to secure a quick return to Div 1. For the 3rd XI, this season ended up being a solid yet unspectacular return to Div 1 with captain Sam Saidman's top priority being to stay in the Division. This was achieved and managed to help bring on some youngsters and welcome some new faces to the team along the way. Availability was again causing the team pain and with over 50 different people playing in the team all season it was never really going to be able to build a consistent core team, which had been done so well last season. The team was often able to get off to decent starts with the bat with solid contributions from the top run scorer for the second season running Max Saidman (144 runs at 24), Nick Wright (138 at 46) and Jerry Wright (136 at 27). Bowling was again the strong point with new recruit Ed Thom (28 wickets at 15) being the stand out bowler. Ed was ably supported by Jared de Jesus (16 at 11), Ashley Walton (12 at 12) and youngster Simon Duke (10 at 18). With a few more players available at the start of next season and some more new recruits, hopefully, the side can push for promotion back to the Premiership. Thanks go to Ian Maidment and Liam Desai for officiating. It was a bold move to get a 4th XI running for the first time at short notice, but it proved one of the best decisions the club has made in recent years. After initially looking like the league’s whipping boys, the side rallied in the second half to move up to a creditable 7th position. The team has unearthed some superb youngsters who would not otherwise have been given a chance in the 3rd XI, while also giving regular cricket to many others. Early on results proved difficult to come by. The side lost its first six matches by reasonably wide margins, showing fight with the ball and in the field, but struggling with the bat. As the season progressed, performances improved. The first point came midway against Sutton and the team did not lose again. A first ever win at Old Ruts, before taking a superb colts-led victory at Sinjuns and then completed the season with a fine win over Sutton. The batting took a while to blossom and nobody scored heavily throughout the season, only Chris Derham sneaking over 100 league runs. He and Justin Hall were the middle order mainstays. However the biggest plus point in the batting season was the emergence of the outstanding U14 duo of Olly Davis and Will Hagger. With the ball, the star man was Ravi Tumuluri (20 wickets at 12), who bewitched many a batting line-up in the Division with his subtle darts and ended as nigh on the leading bowler in the league. The rest of the load was shared among many reliable bowlers, led by Chris Derham (7 at 16) and Nylesh Prema (6 at 13) while youngsters George Cates, Rohan Wilde, Tommy Richards and U13 Sean Derham also shone.

Having lost all fourteen matches played, to say that the 2nd XI season was disappointing would be an understatement. For the first few matches the team was a little weak but performed reasonably well and showed some promise. Then the problems with injuries and other non-availabilities started to bite and by the end of the season the side was more like the 3rd XI from last year. In this weakened state the side failed to give opponents much of a game; over 400 runs were conceded in one match and 300 or thereabouts in several others. That said, some younger players were given an opportunity to play and a few older ones got a chance to extend their careers. Andy Thompson did well skippering in difficult circumstances after the injury to Ricky Patel meant he took no further part in the season. Wajahat Aleem with two 5-wicket hauls topped the bowling averages and Masood Bashir was top of a modest set of batting averages. With an attractive ground, good facilities and a core of enthusiastic players, things can only improve in the future.

This was a tough year, to say the least, for the 1st XI and starting a season with 8 loses in a row is never ideal. The return of some key players took the strain off the over worked bowlers and the struggling batters. This gave the team the impetus needed to get back to winning ways. It was a great effort to turn a season from what looked like being certain relegation to staying up with a game to spare. Runs were hard to come about all season but the stand out man was Akbar Ansari who played a huge part in securing the first win with 136* against Malden. He ended the season just shy of 300 runs at an average of 74.5. Other batters also finished the season with a run of form, with Harry Cripps, Phil Mann, Tom Winslade and James Crowson all passing the half century mark. The bowling was the strength, with Henry Turner giving his all throughout the year, with little support early on except for Adam Bennett. Turner took several 4 wicket hauls or better and Bennett chipped in with season best figures of 7 for 30. Jack Winslade and James Crowson also took 5 wicket hauls. The player of the season was Phil Mann, who scored important runs down the order and his consistent, containing bowling, allied with regularly taking wickets, was a huge help in keeping the team up. He finished the season with 25 wickets, at fewer than 16, and also offered some invaluable help to the captain in a tricky first season. Thanks to the whole team for all their support and commitment. Let us hope for a better start next year and the team will up there competing by the end. Many thanks go to the panel for officiating and to Val Gibbens for scoring. The 2012 season did not pan out as well as hoped for the 2nd XI. Only winning 5 matches and picking up 61 points, the team under achieved and could have finished higher than it did, considering the potential in the side. The season was hindered by lack of availability, which proved to be a challenge as the team varied a lot from week to week (a total of 37 players were used over the course of the season!). On a positive note some very good team and individual performances should be mentioned. Stand out team performance was in the second game beating Normandy by 7 wickets after bowling them out for 57, with very impressive figures from Dan Unger (3-9 off 6.5). Stand out bowler this season was the ever reliable Tan Ashgar, 29 wickets at 14 apiece in 12 matches. A couple of fantastic knocks at the back end of the season from youngsters Matt Macpherson (16) who scored 92 at home to Reigate Priory and Chris Smith, scoring 110* to contribute to an intimidating score of 273 posted in a victory over Epsom. Also a great all round individual performance from young player Dan Mullins mid-way through the season away to Reigate Priory, two brilliant spells with the ball with figures of 3-26 off 12, setting a high standard in the field and some aggressive batting in the middle of the order, it was a pleasure to watch. This shows that there is a lot of potential in this side and that it is capable of a lot more, however more consistency is needed. Much gratitude goes to John Harris for umpiring and to Jo Gaydon for scoring, their commitment and help was greatly appreciated. The season started in the usual fashion for the 3rd XI with a severe lack of players due to the vast amount of students at school or university. This meant that a squad of young colts and senior figures from the past were called upon to start the season; it was no surprise that only 1 of the first 5 matches (courtesy

108 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports of a brilliant Jason Stocks 7 ‘fer’ in a thrilling game against Valley End) was won and the side languished near the bottom of the table. Results improved with the returning players, and in June 3 victories were recorded mainly down to the powerful bowling of Anumul Choudhury, Imran Lodhi and Anthony Rourke. The batting had not really materialised into anything significant at this stage. Things got even better in July and August where a 100% record was maintained, winning 7 out of 7 to put us up with a game to spare. This coincided with the batsmen finding form, notably Dave Wotherspoon, who put together a run of 68*, 109* (off 67 balls) and 49. Others chipped in, with D Unger getting to 50 twice and there were also fifties from R Taylor and C Smith in this run. Valuable runs were made throughout the season from D Smith, I Lodhi, B Hollinrake, A Pope and A Chowdhury, so it was a real team effort. The wickets were spread evenly between the bowlers with A Tough, I Lodhi, R Taylor and J Stocks all reaching double figures. In the past 2 seasons only 1 bowler had achieved this feat. There is plenty to look forward to next season with some exiting youngsters coming through the ranks, especially 17 year old Adam Stacey who played the last 4 games picking up 9 wickets, Harry Samuels and Shane Thompson. Thanks go to all those who umpired and scored throughout the season. The 2012 season for the 4th XI was reasonably successful, had the side won 1 of the last 2 games it would have finished runners up in the league. To finish where the team did, having had 4 wash out weekends was an excellent effort from all who represented the side. The team introduced a number of colts to senior cricket, which is the main function of the 4th XI, hopefully one or two of them will progress through the grades in the coming years. There were a number of notable contributions on the playing side. Manny Bains was a reliable first change bowler, who produced a couple of match changing spells taking 4 or 5 quick wickets to change the course of the innings. Alex Tough, Anthony Rourke, Waqar Ahmed and Patrick Kenny also bowled well. On the batting front, the side managed to chase down a couple of sizeable totals, which, from a captain’s point of view, was very pleasing with a young side. Although no one batsman stood out, G Bains, Toby Ashley Collins, Gerard Havenga and Owen Lee all made valuable contributions at key points during the season. Both Toby Ashley Collins and Gerard Havenga also put in some decent performances behind the stumps. Toby’s stumping off the medium fast bowling of Antony Rourke will live long in the memory. The contribution and enthusiasm of Sheldon Cummings deserves a mention as the only 4th XI player to attend every senior net session and always the first to arrive on match days. The captain’s job was made a lot easier having the wise old head of Mike Koops around to remind him of all the rules and regulations, so a big thank you Mike. Looking ahead to 2013, the side hopes to see the continued support and commitment from all the players and members which is what makes this such a fine club to be a part of.

Wimbledon CC can rightly claim to have had their best year ever, winning the top three Premier titles and runners up in the 4th XI Premier League. However, to win the National T20 title, live on Sky Sports at Edgbaston representing Surrey, must surely be the greatest of accolades that will live long in the memory. The club was profoundly sad to lose one of the Surrey Championship’s greatest advocates, and its former President, Bill Burton, in January 2012. The club dedicates the 2012 success to Bill, who would have been the proudest supporter. The aim for the 1st XI season was clear, retain the Premier league title and win the Surrey Twenty20 Cup. The league title was won with two games to spare and was a perfect addition to the Twenty20 Trophy. Pre-season was a washout and in the initial 50 over matches the team won 2 matches and lost one. Wimbledon then played catch up as other teams completed rain affected games. Against Camberley the side chased 260 thanks to James Brown who always played to his maximum potential. In a second exciting away win Reigate could not chase 276, due to accurate bowling from all the attack. Time cricket needs quality bowlers who can perform over a sustained period of overs. The team was blessed in this department by four tall, fast bowlers who shared the new ball and first change roles. With the

109 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports wicket taking of Tim Monteleone and accuracy of Will Leith the side had control of matches. Week after week the opposition were restricted and then the team chased the runs needed to win. The team had the quality to attack the opposition, without a let up in performance despite bowling changes. Seb Franke- Matthecka took two 5 wickets hauls, Tim Monteleone took 7 wickets at Normandy and the captain took 5 at Malden. At times the batting seemed nervy but 11 players may bat in a game and it matters not how many wickets you lose so long as you win. Other teams pushed Wimbledon close, but the side found a way to win, and the confidence achieved was infectious. Two opposing captains commented, ‘we couldn’t believe your depth....we thought we were through you but then another quality player came to the crease’. Wimbledon went top after a draw to Guildford and stayed there for the rest of the season. The title would be retained by winning 2 of the last 5 games. Guildford set a high score of 270 but a skilled run chase, including the only ton of the year, put the team on the brink of the title. Wimbledon won thanks to the batting of Turk and Grace, who formed a solid base that allowed free spirited players to take risks. Eventually the Championship was Wimbledon’s after a Saturday when all games were abandoned. While it was odd to win the title in the bar, the side felt it had been the best team all year and deservedly took the Championship. Every individual contributed a match winning performance at some point even if there were not many statistical highlights. The only statistic that mattered was where the team was in the league. It was a great honour to say, “We are at the top”. Thanks go to Barry Perry, the omnipresent scorer, and to groundsman Paul Brind who battled the odds to produce good strips. The defence of a league title is always a challenge, none more so in 2012 for the 2nd XI, with wet weather and soggy outfields giving everyone a slow start to the season. The early win on the first day of the season, when a lot of other matches were abandoned got the team off to a good start and victories throughout the season, punctuated by some spectacular losses (such as at Normandy being bowled ridiculously cheaply) meant the side was always in contention. The star performers with the bat included Johnno Gordon (356 runs and the only centurion), James Reynard (355 runs), Joe Lukens (336 runs) and Mark Costin (316 runs). The bowlers were dominated by Johnno with 28 wickets and Gavin Yell (19) and Duncan Howells (15). The season was one of team performances, with someone stepping up to the plate in most matches, inspiring the team to great catching, sublime fielding and all round magnificent cricket. Faiz Ebrahim is sadly retiring, having played 71 games over 5 years, assuming his position behind the stumps with 72 catches and 15 stumpings. Grateful thanks go to Alex Anderson the scorer and the omnipresent umpires. 2012 was an interesting season for Wimbledon 3rd XI. Over the winter, the side was unable to secure a home ground, and so the home fixtures took place at one of four different venues. The team did not let this affect them however, returning a 100% winning record at home. Throughout the season, the bowlers excelled, regularly bowling teams out for under 150. Tom Linley and Kishore Seshadri share the prize of leading wicket-taker, with 23 each, both at under 13 runs apiece; the team had eight bowlers take 10 or more wickets. On pitches affected by such a wet summer, batsmen found the going tough and yet still had some great performances. David Wills topped the runs tally in the league with 405, including a hundred and two fifties; Chris Nolan and Grant Kuiler also scored over 300. Great appreciation must go to the core of the team, consisting of Tom Linley, David Wills, Chris Nolan, James Watson, Grant Kuiler, Grant Turtle, and Dilshan De Silva, whose regular availability and consistent performances paved the way for Wimbledon to take the league title; which was secured on the last day of the season in front of around 100 supporters, completing a stunning season for the team. After a tough start to the 4th XI season, including 3 close losses and a tie, finishing only 4 points behind worthy leaders Dulwich was, whilst frustrating, an excellent result. Consistency of availability remained an issue throughout – the side used 14 opening pairs over the season. The team was delighted that so many of the younger players established their places and look promising for future years. Inconsistent batting (Amjad Husain and Josh O’Rourke being notable exceptions) contrasted with a bowling attack that performed well week after week; Kane Laurence and Ian Caskie took 60 wickets between them and both went at less than 3 an over. A settled batting line-up next season will be a priority if the side is to reclaim the title. The season’s highlights came mainly in August and September, by which time a solid side was developing, which bodes well for next season. Best moments? Amjad batting like its 1987, before ‘retiring-tired’, Ian Caskie top-scoring wearing prescription sunglasses, Kane rolling back the years (to 2010), and not breaking down (more than once) and, of course, Sami’s ongoing incomprehension of London’s transport network

This year, Wimbledon Lakeside 4th XI had some 37 players representing the team during the season, with many a Friday spent scraping a side together. After six games, Lakeside was rooted to the bottom of the table with a solitary win. This is where the season was transformed. With many young players returning from school and university cricket, the side went unbeaten in the last 8 games to finish 3rd. The batting was led by Mark Cairns (148 at 29), Tristram Moody (145 at 48) and Jamie Andrews (139 at 70), whose captaincy was a major factor in winning so many games. However, it was the strength of the bowling that made the difference; numerous games were won inside the first 10 overs with the opponent’s top order lying in ruins! Ben Roe led the attack with aplomb despite his young age and was renowned for devastating opening spells. He was supported by Dinesh Thuru (13 at 8.38), Jamie Andrews (9 at 6.44) and Charan Singh (9 at 9.89). Special thanks must go to Bob Cairns for managing the team, ferrying players around, umpiring and frequently having to play as a last minute replacement!

Woking & Horsell 1st XI began the season in disarray and a total lack of practice! Damien Honey stepped in as captain and the side finally got some cricket at Chessington where a spirited comeback with the ball gave reason for optimism. The following 6 games brought 4 wins and some belief. New signing ‘Sammy’ Managei produced match winning performances with bat and ball while Toby Green was showing consistency at the top of the order, backed up by James Morley and Qais Nawaz. The turning point came against bottom of the table Old Emanuel and a seemingly routine chase but a feeble reply set the tone for the batting in the rest of the season, particularly against spin. The batting clicked with an amazing chase against Epsom (74 from John Hargan), finished off by Qais Nawaz with 4 huge sixes and number 11 Phil West hitting the last ball for 2 with a broken hand. One more victory was required for safety but with poor availability it went down to the wire for the 11th time in 12 seasons. The side needed one point to secure safety against Staines who scrambled to 191, in reply Woking’s nemesis Bloomfield blew away the top order. Strong defence from keeper Giles Green and attack from Managei (67) took the side close; super cool Nawaz saw the side to the bonus point target with West. Managei finished with 24 wickets at 13 and was the only batsman to pass 300 runs. Bowling support came from Honey (21 at 15) and Shazad Hussain (21 at 15), whilst Nawaz was a good all round performer and Giles Green was his immaculate self behind the stumps. Thanks to outgoing cricket chairman Billy Hargan, to groundsman Ken Rapley for working wonders and to Doug Newton for spending his injury-forced sabbatical scoring. Finally the Club says goodbye to Toby Green after 15 years spearheading the 1st XI batting.

111 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Three years ago the 2nd XI started the journey to re-build the team through blending youth with experience to narrow the gap between the 1st and 2nd teams. The result of that work is back to back promotions and a fantastic 2012 season. The results show 13 wins, 1 loss, 1 conceded and 3 rained out games. The players can be very proud of their achievements and contribution to another successful year. The season’s success was truly a team effort, stand-out performances coming from a number of players. Mark Worgan (329 at 32.9) continues his consistency in run scoring and creating a great opening platform for the others to excel. John Hargan (230 at 57.5) solidified his position in the first team through a great start and with Will Pyle (195 at 32.5) was instrumental at chasing a big target at Addiscombe to the 10 points. Mention should be made of the 150 stand between Williams and Worgan in setting up the chase. Will Pyle went on to claim the Player of the Year award for consistent contributions in all departments. Sharaz Hussain claimed the Bowler of the Year award for his 15 wickets at 10.33 and his heroics at Ashford where he claimed 3 wickets in one over to win the game. Sharaz continued to turn in bowling performances throughout the season, claiming 5 wickets several times. James Woods (16 wickets at 12) continued to show his bowling prowess and with better results from his batting will mature into a very strong club all-rounder. There were key contributions from all players throughout the season and the results speak well for the level of cricket played by all players. There were too many great catches or moments of brilliance to mention and this bodes well for the seasons to follow. Appreciation goes to committee members and captains for the support they gave in making this a successful year. The 2nd team was co-captained by Oli Guy and the side was appreciative of the enthusiasm he brought to the role. Roll on 2013 when it is hoped the team will build on their success. Woking & Horsell 3rd XI celebrated a successful 2012 campaign by lifting the 3rd XI Division title, with a record of 10 wins from 16 games with 3 matches washed out. Winter upheaval saw South African swashbuckler Craig Schlebusch emigrate to Sweden and clubman Jamie McMahon step down from captaincy, so Matt Lock took on the role, closely mentored and guided by the silver fox Nick Tune. The secret to success was the depth in the squad and everyone made contributions throughout the season, often at times when the side was wobbling a little. Vaibhav Bhade was a constant threat at the top of the order and always gave a fast start, however his 10 over duck at Kingstonian certainly lives in the memory! Stephen Jones was a new recruit, his nagging line and length yielding 10 wickets at 11 costing only 2.4 runs an over. The wickets tally would have been greater had it not been for 2 shattered knees and a broken shoulder. Nick Tune showed his class with the bat all season, often digging the side out of difficult situations. Averaging 43, his knocks against Sinjuns and Chertsey allowed the team to make competitive scores. Jack Allen and Jonny Ayling brought the average age down and provided excellent opening bowling taking 23 wickets between them. Ramesh provided some flamboyance in the middle order and scored some important runs early in the season but crucially was a rock in the slip cordon snaffling many victims. Special mention must also go to Peter Grafton, Matt Allan, Tom Sharpless, Tom Harlow and Amir Hussein. The Player of the Season was Mandar Khadekar with 33 wickets at 11 and economy of 2.6, his nagging line and length always provided wickets and led to dismissing teams for ridiculously low scores. With all the success it would be wrong not to mention a few highlights from the season: having Staines & Laleham 0-3; Nick Tune blocking / boring Ashford for a losing draw which proved to be the difference at the end of the season; the last gasp Kingstonian victory and the melee that followed; Malcolm Edington’s ton against Sinjuns and Amir’s 45 ball 98 at Thames Ditton. The league winning season was thoroughly enjoyable, made possible by many people and not just the captain’s tactical nous. A big thank you to Ken Rapley who prepared excellent wickets in difficult circumstances, Peter Smith for his constant support, Billy Hargan whose cricket chairmanship has brought the club forward and Nick Tune for his support - and reminding the captain to phone in the results. The 4th XI had 5 abandoned matches costing them the opportunity to challenge for league honours, eventually finishing 6th. The team was unbeaten in second place after 11 of the 18 league matches, below eventual champions Dulwich. Four consecutive defeats followed, after which the last 3 matches typified the 2012 season; well set against Spencer the heavens opened, Malden Wanderers pulled out of the penultimate game and on the final day of the season, in glorious sunshine, the side pulled off a fantastic victory against Dulwich chasing 203 for 5 wickets down with one over to spare. The match against Dulwich was a highlight, as well as the first match against Wimbledon where the team chased 203 in 43 overs against what was arguably the best attack in the league. In this match Jack Matthews took a hat-trick with the last 3 balls of his allotted 10 overs and Andrew Murphy’s quite brilliantly paced 73* helped the side to win by 2 wickets. Stephen Wernberg top scored with 211 runs at 26.4, Jamie McMahon (207 at 21) and Andrew Murphy (188 runs at 38). Other vital contributions came from Sagar Nayyar, Andrew Statham, Jack Matthews with some spectacular hitting, Arun Aiyer and the season’s high score of 74 from Sharath Vasudevamurthy.

112 Section 3 – Club Details and Reports

Jack Matthews was the leading wicket taker with 15. Indika Fernando bowled the most overs and took 13 wickets with a best of 6-48 against Dulwich. Sharath came into the side towards the end of the season and took 11 wickets in 40 overs and Arun Aiyer took 10 wickets, including a match winning 4-26 against Ashtead. The catching of Jamie McMahon, Gagan Kumar and Jack Matthews was exceptional. Special mention must also go to Tom Harlow for his 2 stumpings and 3 catches in that final victory against Dulwich. Jack Matthews (U17) was Player of the Year; he was the leading wicket taker, made valuable batting contributions and took some fantastic catches.

2012 was mostly a season to forget for Woodmansterne’s 2nd XI. However it did end with some good performances where the side battled back from the bottom of the table to secure its place in the division next year. If the team carry the fight and momentum into 2013 it will do well. 40 players were used in 16 games meaning that the team never settled, mostly as a lack of poor and/or inconsistent availability. The side had a terrible start to the year; it was convincingly beaten in several matches early on. It was not until games away at Godalming (failed to chase down 160) and at Old Hamptonians (winning draw with Hamptonians 8 down) that the team showed any signs of picking up points. League winners Dorking came to Woodmansterne where they snatched an unlikely victory on the last ball of the game which just showed how frustrating previous performances had been. The side had to wait until the 7th July for the first win of the campaign beating Old Emanuel by 5 wickets. The team then left it late and waited for the last 2 games of the season for wins 2 and 3 beating Old Emanuel again by 4 wickets and Godalming by 32 runs to ensure survival. There were some good performances throughout the year – most notably Joe Hyatt who was a relatively new face in the team, being the latest success story of the colts section and bowled with maturity beyond his years to take 25 wickets at 12.36 and finished the season in the first team. Other notable performers were Paul Movel (11 wickets at 9.64) and Ralph Patel (10 at 11.5). There was a bit less to shout about with the bat where Evan Whyte (163 at 27.17), Jan Leaver (158 at 26.33) and Chris Vagg (112 at 37.33) were the stand out performers but unfortunately were only available for a total of 18 games between them.

A rewarding season ended in disappointment for the 1st XI as a final day defeat to champions Leatherhead left Park in 3rd place, narrowly beaten to the promotion place by Farnham. Sandeep Ganguly was the leading wicket taker with 30, including an inspired 6-7 against Horsley & Send. Gary Marshall picked up 21 wickets in his fleeting appearances and Waqas Sagar 18 in a welcome return after missing the 2011 season through injury. The stand out performers with the ball were James Harrison and Joe Hill. James’ return from university came at a time when the team was looking for a seamer to emerge and his 14 wickets, added to his ability to bowl long spells, confirmed his arrival at this level. Joe Hill was magnificent and reinforced his status as the premier all-rounder in the team with 18 wickets alongside his all-action performances in the field. Rob Bell, Rob Waite and Nicky Ball also chipped in with vital wickets when called into action and supported a well balanced and disciplined attack. The batting rarely clicked and despite doing just enough to remain in the promotion hunt, collapses in both defeats against Leatherhead, not to mention others that turned routine victories into nervous chases typified the frailties. Rob Waite with 517 runs was the heaviest scorer, Joe Hill was consistent throughout hitting 4 fifties in his 452 runs, and the pair also shared an unbroken partnership of 165 in a 10 wicket win vs. Walton. Rob Hill hit 276 runs, including 4 undefeated knocks in victories and a 162 run partnership with his brother against Farnham. Sandeep Ganguly and Rob Bell both passed 200 runs. Ben Davis was a most capable understudy for wicket keeper David Wilkinson following an early season injury, while Rob Hill and Ian Burrows acquitted themselves well at other times. Thanks to Alan for scoring, Carol for the teas and Barry and Adrian for their hard work on the ground. A final position of 7th with 5 wins was disappointing for the 2nd XI but when a total of over 60 catches are dropped, more cannot be expected. An often strong team should have won more games and particularly galling was the fact that 6 matches went to the last over with only 1 resulting in a victory. 4 wins and 2 winning draws in the timed format steadied the ship but the penultimate fixture arrived with Park still needing one win to secure their status. 8 runs were needed off the last ball against Old Whitgiftians and another last over defeat loomed. However, in astonishing scenes, David Wilkinson and Ian Burrows did the job; 5 wides followed by overthrows and a scrambled 3 to bring the much needed points. The batting was generally inconsistent throughout the season. Johnny Evans led the way (404 runs including 2 fifties), followed by skipper Dom Fell (305), Ian Burrows (228) and Scott Kent (222 from 6 innings). Good fifties and contributions were welcome from Mark Turner, Terence Barath and John Drake. A much welcomed return by club legend John Daniell who scored 2 classy fifties in 4 innings and his hard- hitting brother Steve. The bowling lacked a strike bowler with Fell toiling away from one end for 15 wickets and Faller-Fritsch claiming 9. The real strength lay in medium pace and Chris Turner proved his value, once again, with 19 wickets at 11 including 6-22 against Purley. John Drake was invaluable with 16 wickets and the emergence of 15 year old Adam Powers (10 wickets), was one of the highlights of the season. Nicky Ball also impressed, with 10 wickets. This was the strongest 2nd XI seen at the club for many seasons and much more is expected in 2013 particularly in the catching department. Many thanks go to Colin Kent for umpiring, Ian Harwood for scoring and to the ground staff at the club. Reports for 2013 Thank you all for your reports and for the variety of styles which make them all the more interesting and I hope you have enjoyed reading them.

Club Profile No. 40 EGHAM CRICKET CLUB by Mark Kaltner It is almost impossible to delve too far back into the past but records show that Egham Cricket Club was hiring rooms for its monthly Committee Meeting as early as 1860 and according to the Victoria History of Surrey, cricket was being played in Egham in 1750. In 1913 the present club was formed bearing the name of Somers X1, after a Mr R Sommers who was its sponsor and solely responsible for all its activities. It had many fields of 1948 Egham Squad play including. Milton Park by Back row: D Killick, V Best, M Warren, V Horton, D Dodd, G Bell, R Black- man, J Haynes, F Clarke, M Deamer, J Turney, R Robson, courtesy of Baron and Baroness C Roberts, F Duval De Worms and Denham House. Front row: J Johnson, G Heart, C Mills, M Varney, P Saunders, B Stoker, Except for a short break from W Tyrrell, P Eade, R Greave, J Palmer, P Standen. L Cheeseman 1914 to 1918 due to war service, the X1 functioned under this name until 1923 when accommodation was made available by the old Egham Football Club on ground at Green Lane, Egham. At that time, the club adopted the name of Denham Cricket Club. During that period there was also in existence a club called the Egham Town Cricket Club and records show that regular matches took place between the two clubs. The Egham Town Club was subsequently disbanded in 1923. In 1928 the Club moved to land on the meads between Windsor Road and the Anglers Rest Hotel (now the Runnymede Hotel). It was on Runnymede where the Barons bowled out King John. The club played there until 1931 when a lease was obtained on adjacent land along the Windsor Road. This was in virgin condition and the members had the task of converting a wilderness of long grass into a cricket ground. There was no dressing accommodation, water or electricity supply and until these services were installed the players were dependent on hedgerows for changing and a near by householder for hot water for the teas. Then another resident, who had moved into a new brick built house, presented the club with his old wooden bungalow that the members converted and erected as a pavilion. In 1936 it was decided to change the name of the club to that of ‘Egham Cricket Club’ and that is the name under which the club is continuing today. Through out the last world war (1939/45) the club continued to function, not without difficulties, and in general found it had to confine its activities to those of a more local nature, fostering social events and cricket with firms that had come into the locality. The playing strength of the club had varied from year to year but a second X1 was instituted in 1946. In 1950 the landlord died and in his will it was provided that the ground should be placed in trust with the Trustees for the Egham Cricket Club to be used as a sports ground in perpetuity. The club was now assured of a permanent home and embarked on a programme of ground and pavilion improvements. Unfortunately the tenure was short lived as another neighbour took exception to cricket balls being constantly driven into his garden. Despite the club putting up high netting, the balls continued to fly into the adjacent garden. This caused some friction which ended up in the High Court and the Club lost the case and their ground in 1966. For the next few years it played on grounds at Shoreditch on Coopers Hill, and the Water Works in Green Lane. In 1969 Egham Urban District Council granted a lease to the current site in Vicarage Road. It was a case of “deja`vu”. The site was wasteland, a wilderness of nettles, long grass and shrubs. The members had to set-to again and convert it into a cricket ground. The original pavilion from the Windsor Road site was transported and re-erected in the position where it is today. The wooden core of the current pavilion, excluding the brick extensions, is the original. Without the commitment of a number of families at that time it is possible that the club would have failed to survive. In common with many clubs, and perhaps due to the number of ground changes, accurate recording of past achievements is somewhat sketchy, but Egham has always prided itself on being a family oriented club. This can be traced back through the generations. In the 1940s and 50s a gentleman called Vic Best played for the club and his grandson and great grandson Paul and Ryan Suckling are currently still playing for the club. Indeed Paul, who is the ground chairman, is the longest serving member of the current Egham

116 Section 4 – Extras committee with over 20 years of service to his credit. The butchers and bakers and maybe even the odd candlestick maker were main stays of the side in the 60s and 70s. In those days, Sunday cricket was far stronger than today and that was normally when, due to work, the Clarke (butchers) and Stopps (bakers) families regularly turned out for Egham. Brothers John, Frank and Peter Clarke provided a strong backbone to the side and John Stopps provided the doughnuts for tea (apparently he was regularly teased over the lack of jam in them). Both the Clarke and Stopps families produced sons who played for Egham and another of the early Colts managers was a gentleman called Ron Nash. He later became a club umpire and his son Chris, the Peter Pan of the club, still plays regularly in the seconds and thirds and is the current longest serving player, having played for Egham for more than 35years. One Egham family member who was famed for her teas was Mary Bell wife of Geoff ‘Dinger’ Bell who played for Egham for over 50 years. While Geoff, who was a mean fast bowler in his prime, and a stubborn batsman towards the end of his career, battled out on the field, Mary produced some of the finest cream teas in Surrey. It was not unknown if, due to an early finish, an Egham side playing elsewhere in the county would rush back to make sure they were back in time for Mary’s tea. Excellent teas have long been a trade mark of the club and over the years we have been very lucky with the wives and girlfriends who have taken on this vital role. Indeed, we have had visiting teams who felt compelled to include a glowing reference to the Egham tea in their local press reports. As a club we owe a massive vote of thanks to all those ladies, too numerous to mention individually, for their fantastic efforts over the years. Up to 1973 all matches were friendlies, but league cricket was becoming the preferred route for clubs and in that year the club joined the Fullers County League and in 1992 was promoted to the Surrey Championship League. With the advent of Egham’s Famous Tea league cricket the ability to retain records appears Lashing’s Kallicharran & Embury tuck into an Egham tea. to have improved. Kevin Bradley became the first and, to date, only Egham player to take all 10 wickets in a game against Turnham Green, one of his victims being a chap called Allan Rutter who obviously saw the error of his ways and joined Egham and was to play a big part in running the club through the 80s and 90s, including a spell as Chairman of the club. In 1985 and again in 1987, three batsmen achieved over 1000 runs in a season. Gary Denne, Gary Clarke, and Tom Scully were the three who either set or chased down some very big scores. One of these occasions was the blistering hot President’s Day game in 1987 where Gary Clarke was on the pitch for the whole game as Egham fielded first, when it was Egham’s turn to bat he opened the batting and saw the side home with an unbeaten 188. His method of re-hydration was a bottle of Red wine with lunch and a few beers after the game. The result: ~ a week off work with sunstroke and dehydration. Talking of big scores, in a Sunday League game in 1996, Egham set Chertsey a total of 290 for 0 in 45 overs. Graeme Few achieved the top score ever by an Egham player of 217n.o.while his partner Chris Watmore just made it to 50, only a ‘FEW’ balls before Graeme reached his 200. 1996 saw Egham’s Year of Achievement. All three Saturday sides won promotion from their Surrey Championship leagues and both Sunday sides won their Sunday League. In addition the club received the County Sound ‘Team of the Year’ award at the Championship dinner. One of the best things about the success of 1996 was the number of home grown players who represented the club. The Colts section was started at Egham back in the early 1970s. Peter and John Clarke used to use the butchers van to ferry the lads to games. It was hosed down most times before they got in. Towards the end of the 70s Ray Denne took charge of the Colts section and it was under his tenure that it grew and blossomed. Ray managed the Colts section for over 20 years and also took on the role of Chairman of the Club. In 1985 Ray together with the President James Warden set up an Under 11 and Under 13 league. These leagues are still contested today, with the finals taking place on the Egham ground at the beginning of September each year. Ray was active within the club right up until his premature death in 1999 and the club owes him a big debt of gratitude for the hard work he put into the club. The period through the 1980s was probably one of the most stable and successful times the club has had in recent years with Ray as Chairman and his son Gary as first team Captain. The Colts section has continued to thrive at Egham. One of the major problems is keeping talented youngsters at the club. In an effort to combat this, the club has recently introduced an elite academy aimed

117 Section 4 – Extras

at recognizing talented youngsters and fast tracking them through to senior cricket. As with a lot of clubs, we often talk about what might have been had all the talented colts remained at the club and with current Surrey players Zafar Ansari and Matt Dunn as ex Colts maybe we have quite a strong case, but we certainly have no problems with them moving on in that direction. Our good relationship with the county also extends over quite a period. Surrey Club and Ground were regulars on the fixture card in the 70s and 80s. We were also asked to host 4 benefit games; for Monty Lynch, Ian Greig, David Ward and Alec Stewart. The Alec Stewart game famously ending in a tie when, with the scores level, Alec Stewart and the Surrey team invited all the youngsters watching to assist them in the field and the Skipper Michael Hunte welcomes last few balls were played out with over 100 fielders on the pitch. Alec Stewart to Egham Moving to more recent times, under current Chairman Mick Watmore, the club has seen some major works undertaken; new changing rooms incorporating a scorebox; renovation of the artificial wicket, a new roller, two new nets and an equipment storage area. This has not been possible without the efforts of club secretary Bob Amon, who has managed to obtain grant money from a number of different sources. If you include the fact that at the end of last season extensive work was carried out to level the square then it is apparent that Egham are a club with great ambition. With this in mind current club captain Jamie Powell will be keen to improve on last year when a mid table position halted a period of two consecutive relegations for the first team. No history of Egham would be complete without reference to James (Jim) Warden who sadly died on 4th September 2012—see obituary below. As we celebrate our Centenary this year it is fascinating to look back over the efforts made by so many people to ensure that cricket has been played at Egham for 100 years and it is also a poignant time where we can look forward to what is in store for the club in the next century of it’s life. Egham Cricket Club on President’s Day

OBITUARIES Jim Warden 1930 – 2012 James (Jim) Warden sadly died on 4th September 2012, he had been President of Egham Cricket Club for over 30 years. Many Presidents are merely figureheads but Jim was very much a hands-on President. Jim rarely missed a committee meeting, presentation evening, or social event at the Club. He was a regular visitor on match days where he would discuss the game with both the home team and the visitors and would always ask ‘who was winning’ It was through his tireless work with the local council that he secured, for the Club, not one but two long term lease agreements during his time as President. This enabled the club to put in place numerous improvements to both the ground and pavilion confident in the knowledge that our tenure was secure. He was a great supporter of the Colts section at Egham. In 1985 he helped to establish two colts leagues and these competitions are still running today. His own competition the Under 11 Jim Warden Trophy was one of his great joys during the season and he never missed a final from 1985 through until 2011. The 2012 final took place a week after Jim died and many tributes were paid to him on the day. He also held his annual President’s Day every year in late June. These were fantastic social events with Jim being a most generous host to his team, which he mainly recruited himself and his over riding wish every year was that his side would emerge triumphant over the Egham team. Before he retired Jim ran his own advertising business in London. He was made a Fellow of the Institute of Directors and in 1990 he was granted the Freedom of the City of London. He was also the President of

118 Section 4 – Extras the local Constitutional Club for a number of years, served on the Egham Twinning Committee and was the Chair of Governors at two local schools. Jim was a traditionalist who demanded and maintained very high standards within the club as well as in his personal life. He will be sorely missed by all at Egham and will be extremely difficult to replace. Our thoughts and best wishes are extended to Jim’s wife Vera, his grandson Stephen and the family.

David Edwards 1941 – 2013 It was with great sadness that we learnt of the sudden death of David Edwards, a lifelong servant of club cricket particularly for the Ryman Surrey Championship. David enjoyed a career as a civil servant but it is for his cricketing life that he will be remembered. David started umpiring in 1970 and over the next 43 years took on many other responsibilities, becoming the Results Secretary of the Surrey Championship in 2000 and the Secretary in 2004. He was one of the founder members of the Surrey Championship Umpires Panel and undertook appointments of Umpires for 25 years. He was the Secretary of the Umpires Panel until the 2010 season and also the Equipment Officer for the Panel. In addition, in 2007, he founded the Surrey Cricket Board Association of Cricket Officials and remained its Chairman until he died, an organisation recognised for good practice by the ECB. In this capacity, David also sat on the Surrey Cricket Board. At the Oval the Surrey CCC flag was flown at half mast as a mark of respect for David; Surrey CCC Chairman Richard Thompson said: “I am shocked and saddened by the passing of a real Surrey stalwart. If the players are the bricks then David was the mortar in keeping club cricket together in Surrey. He had intimate knowledge of cricket around the country and his tireless work and effort is almost irreplaceable.” David was born and brought up in Balham and went to the Grammarians School in Streatham. On leaving school he worked for the TSB and joined the Home Office in 1965 where he remained until he retired in 2004. David met his wife Virginia through work in 1974 and they married in 1976. David played his club cricket for Spencer CC from the early 50s until he became an umpire. He initially started umpiring on Sundays while still playing on Saturdays but he soon decided that it would be better just umpiring and he might get the chance to stand in high quality matches. This proved a wise decision; he spent 25 years as a member of the County 2nd XI Panel umpiring mainly in Surrey matches, often at The Oval. The high point of his club career was standing in the National Club Final at Lord’s. In addition, from 1978 to 1986, he was a member of the Minor Counties Championship Panel which included umpiring at a tournament in Abu Dhabi. For the Club Cricket Conference he undertook overseas tours to Kenya and Australia with his wife Virginia who acted as scorer and Tour Secretary. David Smith, Captain on both tours, remembers David with great affection and respect: “I already knew David from Minor County cricket and I was always pleased when he was appointed to our matches. Both he and Virginia were excellent tourists and, bearing in mind the intense heat in Australia, he was painstaking in his preparations. He would smother himself with sunblock to the extent that, when taking guard and looking up, a very white ghost would appear through the heat haze!” With Surrey Over 50s he toured South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore and Cyprus. He also umpired in France and the Channel Islands and across the United Kingdom. Away from the cricket field, David served as Secretary of the Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers Examining Board from 1978 to 2005 in addition to undertaking examinations, both oral and written, of new umpires seeking qualified membership of ACU&S. However, it is for his work with the Surrey Championship that he will be most well known. As well as compiling the League Tables and being the Secretary, David administrated its websites for ten years (together with Virginia). He also worked on the Sub-Committees for Communications, Sponsorship, Rules & Playing Conditions and Surrey CCC. In 2006 he began organising the Surrey Championship Twenty20 Competition. He also managed the Surrey Championship Play-Cricket Website. David was awarded a Surrey CCC OSCA (Outstanding Services to Cricket Award) in 2009 for services to cricket off the field of play; receiving a national OSCA from the ECB in the same year. In 2011 he was awarded Honorary Life Membership of the ECB Association of Cricket Officials in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the game. Crispin Lyden-Cowan, Chairman of the Ryman Surrey Championship, concluded: “David was the most utterly loyal, reliable and dedicated man to have served us. He was the Surrey Championship. His driest ‘tongue in cheek’ humour was legendary and our Championship is diminished with its loss.” David leaves his wife Virginia, who as an equal partner in his work for the Surrey Championship has also been a great servant to the game; hopefully she will continue to carry his memory on in her work with the Championship. 119 Section 4 – Extras
