Surrey Trust League Update

Despite the days seemingly getting shorter the time has come for the entry process for the Surrey Trust League for 2016 to begin.

The feedback the League has received in the close season has been discussed and the rules, age limits and entry fees will remain unchanged for the new season. However, there is a high probability that there will be some regionalisation of the Trust League to some extent. The method will depend on the entries received and there will still be a draw of some kind at the AGM at Walton-on-Thames CC on Tuesday November 24th at 7.30pm. Read more

Sadly we said goodbye to Greg Routley in June who returned to his native Australia.

The king of the six-hitters in 2014, Greg managed a few more before playing his last game for us at Godalming in mid-June.

Greg was introduced to the club by another of Stoke’s sturdy oaks, Mike Carty, and they got a rare chance to bat together…in a 1st XI match at Churt in a week where exams and school speech days savaged or availability leading to more than half the team being made up of players who played more 2nd XI cricket than 1st XI cricket in 2015…yet we still won!

Nat signs for the Melbourne Stars

From Stoke to Surrey & England, now on to Melbourne for Nat Sciver who has agreed a deal to join the Melbourne Stars for the inaugural Women’s Big Bash League.

Speaking to the media Nat says : “I’m really excited to have signed for Melbourne Stars and cannot wait to get out there and play in the first ever Women’s Big Bash League. In particular, I’m looking forward to challenging myself in a new environment and it’s brilliant to get the opportunity to play alongside the likes of Meg Lanning. It will also be a lot of fun playing against all the other England girls who are involved – we are due to play against Perth Scorchers, (who Charlotte Edwards and Katherine Brunt have signed for), at the WACA on Boxing Day, which is something that I am really looking forward to!
