Sunday 2nd June 2019
Friendly
Stoke D’Abernon 252 all out (38.5 overs)
Allstars of Chichester 153 all out (28.4 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon won by 99 runs
A new poster boy for a Sunday XI match report as Saud Ahmed hit 87 on home debut, (after a second ball duck the previous day on Club debut), to help Stoke post a formidable total that, one player aside, the opposition looked unlikely to chase.

AJ Fordham Surrey Championship
Old Rutlishians 310 for 9 (50 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 206 all out (37.5 overs)
Old Rutlishians won by 104 runs
Stoke were set one of the highest totals ever made by an opposition at The Rec, and they gave it a go but eventually fell to defeat.

AJ Fordham Surrey Championship – 2nd XI competition
Cheam 2nd XI 237 for 9 (50 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 2nd XI 170 all out (40.5 overs)
Cheam 2nd XI won by 67 runs
Stoke’s 2nd XI lost an important toss and were committed to 50 overs’ hard labour at Cheam on a hot afternoon.

AJ Fordham Surrey Championship – 2nd XI competition
Stoke D’Abernon 3rd XI 208 all out (38 overs)
Cheam 4th XI 195 for 7 (40 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 3rd XI won by 13 runs
Whilst looking at the board for a Sunday fixture an advert from Cheam appeared to say that Dorking has scratched the intended league fixture against them and they were looking for a friendly opposition to fill in.
One of our golden generation turns 30 today!
When not doing his bit for World Peace in Somalia and other parts of the world, Frosty has taken time out to pen this for your enjoyment:
Here is my submission for my greatest Stoke XI:
1. Jack Raimondo
I know, I know an opening batsman who is scared of fast bowling!? But I have seen Mr Prawn – the self-confessed ‘closet six footer’ – score more runs and more match winning innings than almost anyone else. This added to his, (ahem), social contribution and the fact that we used to played rugby together from the age of 4 means that he is a shoe-in to open the batting in this team.
Sunday 26th May 2019
Friendly
Stoke D’Abernon 233 for 7 (40 overs)
Badgers 116 all out (34.3 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon won by 117 runs
A big and morale boosting win for Stoke’s Sunday XI as the batting line up, boosted by a bit of senior assistance from Jase Earl, racked up a formidable total; then a bowling attack that could easily have gone out together in the previous day’s League fixture were any of them available did a great job as a unit.
Saturday 25th May 2019
AJ Fordham Surrey Championship
Chipstead Coulsdon & Walcountians 253 for 6 (50 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 231 all out (47.5 overs)
Chipstead Coulsdon & Walcountians won by 22 runs
A first defeat of the season for Stoke’s 1st XI in a high quality match at picturesque Chipstead; James Trower’s men making light of the absence of a few key personnel, notably both opening bowlers; those coming into the side doing a great job.

AJ Fordham Surrey Championship – 2nd XI competition
Stoke D’Abernon 2nd XI 219 all out (47.1 overs)
Kingstonian 2nd XI 212 for 8 (36.1 overs)
Kingstonian 2nd XI won by 2 wickets
One that got away from the 2s as they batted themselves into a great position only to lose a cluster of wickets when well set; then they had the opposition seven down with 45 still needed but a belligerent number nine smashed off the rest.
Sunday 19th May 2019
Mid-Surrey Colts League Under 10 Cup – Round 1
Spencer U10 99 all out (16.1 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon U10 99 for 9 (20 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon U10 won by losing fewer wickets
What a game! All of the boys were just magnificent. Spencer have one of the largest if not the largest colts sections in Surrey and it is no mean feat to put them into second place. A fantastic TEAM effort from all of the boys and everyone contributed to bring the game to a last over/last ball nail biter!
Sunday 19th May 2019
Friendly
Stoke D’Abernon 174 for 9 (40 overs)
Maori Oxshott 178 for 6 (34.5 overs)
Maori Oxshott won by 4 wickets
A marked improvement on last week’s performance for the Sunday XI.
In the end the team were left to rue a shortage of runs again, but they made Oxshott work very hard for the win, and it took three of their players to register career best scores to get the job done.
