Under 10s Round Up

A round up of recent action, (and in one case no action), involving the under 10s from Johnny Lawes:

The frustration continues with only 2 out of 3 games being played this weekend. It has been a slow start with matches being rained off but still plenty of cricket to come with 7 more Gladys Chitty matches, 6 more League matches and we are still in the Cup competition.

Under 11s knock Dorking out of the Cup

Good news from Danny Broomfield, our Under 11s manager who writes…

We finally completed our first match of the season against Dorking in the West Surrey Youth Cricket League Cup.

On a cold, damp and gloomy evening we won the toss and elected to bat. It was a difficult night for batting on the astro at Stoke and 4s were rare. I was pleased with the way the boys built the innings, with 1s and 2s ticking over on the score board. Charlie N top scored and was ably supported by the rest of the team. We end on 95 for 6.

Stoke D’Abernon 127 all out (44.2 overs)
Hampton Wick Royal 128 for 9 (49.3 overs)
Hampton Wick Royal won by 1 wicket

Two of Stoke’s recent failings in limited overs cricket; not batting their overs and an inability to mop up the tail; came back to haunt them in a big way as Hampton Wick Royal found the resolve to turn a position of near defeat into victory. Read more

Ladies Postponed

Tonight’s Women’s Surrey Trust League match at ‘home’ (East Molesey CC) between Stoke Molesey Ladies and Epsom has been postponed due to bad weather as Jon Elworthy, (EMCC), writes:

“Once again the Gods are against us and the match has had to be postponed. Andy (Page) and I will be looking to arrange another match with Epsom. Obviously as I type this the sun is coming out; but the pitch will take more than a few hours to dry out enough. See you all at Stoke (for girls’ training) on Saturday.” Read more

Debutants star but Sunday XI denied by the Cryptics

Sunday Friendly
Stoke D’Abernon 193 for 9 dec (43 overs)
Surrey Cryptics 128 for 7 (41 overs)
Match Drawn

Player unavailability, notably due to exam commitments, led to a new look Sunday XI taking the field for the first fixture of the season.

Dan Douthwaite, Donovan Hall and Rowland Prytherch were given club debuts, and all three left positive entries on the scorecard by the time stumps were drawn. Stoke were unable to force a win due to lower order resistance on a very slow pitch, (just 153 runs were scored off the bat in 78.3 overs for the loss of 20 wickets on the same strip the previous day.)
