Academy pay the price at Valley End

Surrey Trust League
Stoke D’Abernon 181 all out (34.5 overs)
Valley End 183 for 7 (39 overs)
Valley End won by 3 wickets

Stoke’s Academy paid the price for not batting their overs and lost their unbeaten record at Valley End.

James Trower cracked an even 50; but only James Corbishley, (25), and a typical cleanly struck 31 from Michael Dolman were the only other scores of note as Stoke were shot out for 181 in just 34.5 overs.

In reply Corbishley, (8-1-19-3), and Dan Douthwaite & Baz Medlycott, (both 1-31), made inroads into the top and middle order; but the Stoke bowlers had no answer to Durandt who hit an unbeaten 78 to guide the hosts home. Marcus Mahne picked up two late wickets for 29.

Next week, the Academy travel to unbeaten Surrey Trust League specialists Worcester Park.
