Sunday XI defeated but great game

Sunday 31st July 2022
Friendly
Chipstead Coulsdon & Walcountians 192 for 7 (40 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 177 all out (37 overs)
Chipstead Coulsdon & Walcountians won by 15 runs

We were delighted to receive an invite from Chipstead after good availability meant we were able to advertise early for a fixture…although the ‘then unavailable’ jinx led to another late scramble to re-stock. Thanks to those who came good.  The final XI played out an excellent match at a super venue with the hosts providing three umpires and a scorer. Read more

3rd XI beat Egham

Surrey Championship Division 5 West
Stoke D’Abernon 3rd XI 163 for 9 (40 overs)
Egham 137 for 9 (40 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 3rd XI won by 26 runs

It was all hands to the pump this week with injuries and Saturday schools cricket making populating an XI a challenge; but with some much appreciated assistance from players who would normally play Sunday XI matches plus help from the Over 40s squad a team of entirely over 40s/50s/60s played out a great game at the new 3rd XI venue. Thanks to Will Gudgeon for using his influence to secure Parkside school for us going forward. Read more

Justin Jones Century as Sunday XII win

Sunday 19th September 2021
Friendly
Stoke D’Abernon 224 for 6 (35 overs)
Blindley Heath 112 for 4 (35 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon won by 112 runs

We gave ourselves the best chance of extending the season by getting availability in early enough to place and advert, and Blindley Heath called us up to say their original opposition had scratched. Invitation accepted. Whilst we had a problem of reducing the pool of available players down to an XI, the opposition were a couple short come Friday. Keen to keep the fixture going a late entry to the Stoke pool, Justin Jones, kindly agreed to play for the opposition…initially. Read more

Two wins for the 3rd XI

Match One
Epsom 4th XI 44 all out (21.3 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 3rd XI 48 for 2 (11.3 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 3rd XI won by 8 wickets

The 3s had a bye week from league action, (as they do next week), but it’s a happy camp and there was demand to source a friendly fixture. We received a call from Epsom and off we went to a very nice out-ground. On arrival we found a good looking surface spiced up by overnight and morning rain but there was a shared will to play.
