Saturday 26th June 2021 Sutton Club 1st XI v. Cricket Club 1st XI Start: 12.00pm (100-overs format) A warm Sutton Cricket Club welcome to everyone at Cheam Road today for this 1st Division Round 8 fixture. We trust you enjoy your visit. Special greetings also to our visitors today, Guildford Cricket Club. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR XI’s PLAYING THIS WEEKEND; AND TO THOSE NON-PLAYING MEMBERS, WE TRUST YOU ENJOY YOUR CRICKET VIEWING!

Surrey Championship 1st XI Division 1 retains ’100-overs’ format for 2021! After seven weeks of 100-overs matches, the Championship was due to start its nine rounds of time/declaration games this weekend. Today’s fixture versus Guildford CC would have been Sutton’s first in the series of time/declaration games. However, the government/ECB restrictions on dressing room and pavilion use, etc. are not being lifted further for at least another three weeks plus. Given the circumstances, the Championship asked for input from the ten 1st Division clubs as to which game format they preferred to follow for the remainder of the season. The consensus, accepted by the League, was for this year’s 1st Division competition to continue as a 100-overs only competition. Thus, no time/declaration games are to be played this season in the 1st Division. The next nine fixtures, including today’s, will start at 12.00pm; the final two, at 11.30am.

Will Harris (54) and James Godrich’s unbeaten 52 down the order lifted the hosts from 125-8 to 190-8, proving sufficient as Leatherhead were dismissed for 158, Hugo Darby claiming 4-38. Malden Wanderers remain second, 16 points behind, after a comfortable victory over Guildford. Zac Elkin batted through the visitors’ innings to finish on 114no, enjoying an unbroken third partnership of 181 with Pete Young. The left-hander entered at 57-3 but played superbly for 76no on his return to Woodbridge Road, Wanderers reaching 238-3. Guildford’s reply had declined to 155-6 when rain arrived with 10 overs remaining, falling well short of the revised DLS score of 185. Pandemic hits league It wasn’t just rain causing issues on Saturday, a number of matches from first to fourth team level were cancelled because of players being forced to quarantine due to the pandemic. The Surrey Championship, following advice from the Surrey Cricket Foundation and ECB, has issued a protocol to clubs over steps to take should a player or official return a positive test.

Sutton Cricket Club 19th/20th June Round Up! The 1st XI match at Beddington was cancelled due to our squad needing to self isolate following a Covid 19 infection of one of our players. This match will not be replayed. The 2nd XI played very well to defeat Valley End at Cheam Road. Having been asked to bat, Sutton found runs hard to come by early on although 14 year old Ansh Bansal played nicely for 43. A 97 run partnership between Rehan Ratnasabapathy (55) and Steve Dolben (48) enabled a decent total of 207. It was spin, predominantly, that won the game for Sutton with Anirudh Muraly and Bansal's combined 20 overs conceding just 60 runs to stifle the visitor's middle order and Dan Edwards 4 later on and a brace for George Duckworth earned a fine team success. The 3rd XI lost a low scoring game at Banstead by 21 runs. Banstead scored 157 for 9 off their 50 overs but Sutton's innings never really got going. The 4th XI won a close game at Holmwood Close against Oxted & Limpsfield. Batting first, Sutton's 171 for 8 off 40 overs looked a decent total but the visitors matched them all the way only to fall 12 short after some good death bowling. Sutton remain well clear at the top of the table. A youthful ten man 5th XI, led by Sam Mannion, defeated Dorking 4th XI at Stoke Rec in Guildford. A total of just 94 (Nandwani 36 - Paliwal 25) was defended for a 24 run win with some fine bowling from our young colts (Arav 4 for 26). Sutton's Trust XI won at Dulwich by 2 wickets on Sunday. Some decent out cricket restricted the hosts to just 165 for 9 while some decent batting enabled a win with an over to spare. The Club XI were put to the sword by Ottershaw at Cheam Road where the visitors amassed 265 in 40 overs. Sut- ton's resistance was limited although youngsters Bhati and Patel batted nicely in a heavy 160 run defeat. Sutton Ladies slipped to an 8 wicket defeat to Purley at Holmwood Close.

The Surrey Championship Scorers’ ‘Digital Challenge!’

The world of recreational cricket scoring is changing rapidly. At the beginning of June this year, club scorers were already smashing this year’s Championship target. Can we get up to 50% and above? There must be a very good chance of exceeding it very soon.

PLEASE RESPECT THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT AND SUTTON CC COVID PROTOCOLS. THANK YOU.
