Friday 15th June – League v Oxshott CC – won by 57 runs
We batted first and scored 299 for the loss of 7 wickets. This is a huge improvement in the batting and hopefully reflecting in the boys valuing their wickets more. We did have 4 run outs so clearer and quicker calling still required. Everyone contributed this time with some good partnerships. Harry – 11, Jack – 12, Jamie – 14 and Tom – 31 were the top scorers.

Skipper Elliot J won the toss and elected to field first. Claygate put on a very competitive score of 135 for 4 from their 20 overs, but this was greatly assisted by some poor fielding and bowling on our part, (63 extras!) Rory C took 2 for 7 off 2 overs and Jack T 1 for 6 off 2.
Good news for the Under 11s as Caroline Neat has received the following reports from Danny Stewart…
We played Leatherhead in the third round of the Mid Surrey Cup on Friday 1st June.
The visitors won the toss and put us into bat. A steady start from our openers and solid bowling made for an even contest. But with Marcus scoring 24 and a quick fire 32, (retired), from Alfie we began to increase our run rate. Good support from Freddie and a dubious run out for Oscar left us with 115 for 8 off our 20 overs.

30th May 2012 v Esher (Cup)
Stoke won the toss and batted first against a full strength Esher side with 4 Surrey players. The boys scored a competitive 99 all out batting right through to the last over. We were susceptible to the straight ball again but Angus with 16 and Harry with 13 batted very well and kept the scoring rate up with some lovely shots and good running between the wickets.

Well done again on a comfortable victory against Ashtead yesterday evening. (Friday 25th May)
Stoke batted first and got off to a good start with openers Ollie B and Alex, and Ollie went on to score an undefeated 30. Skipper Tim F also retired after having knocked off 33 and Ollie J scored 17. After the 20 overs we had scored a very competitive 135.
First silverware for the Stoke Molesey Ladies section as Andy Page writes…
After the disappointment of rained-off fixtures, Stoke Molesey’s Ladies section finally got their season off to a winning start in the Surrey CCC organised U13 festival at Caterham CC on Sunday 27 May 2012. The weather was fabulous and all the hard work the girls had put in over the winter indoors and then in rain for the pre-season nets under Mark Packham’s excellent coaching paid off.

Under 10s
Friday 25th May – League v Esher CC – lost by 5 runs
Johnny Lawes writes…
We won the toss on a sunny Friday night and batted first against a good bowling attack. The boys finished on 269, a good result especially given they lost 10 wickets in the process. To give away 40 runs like this needs some attention in training, and was the difference between the two sides. Tom, 20, Theo, 14 and Angus, 7, were the top scorers. In response the bowling and fielding were very competitive and we stayed in the game all the way to the last over. We were only able to take 4 wickets with Matt being the pick of the bowlers with 2 for 13 from his 3 overs. Unfortunately the pressure of bowling a tight last over was too much and Esher made it to 275 with their Surrey U10 player scoring 16 off the last over. We play the same side in the cup on Wednesday so I look forward to another close game. Many thanks to the helpers behind the bar and on the BBQ.
