The Mid-Surrey Cricket League AGM was held last week and Stoke collected some excellent feedback.
At U11 level we were runners up to Ashtead in the Spirit of Cricket awards, and at both U10 & U11 level we were awarded maximum points for our umpiring, so a big well done to all those parents who umpired in the season. Markings here, (click on the image to enlarge.)

The West Surrey Youth Cricket League AGM is on Thursday 19th October 2017.
The previous year’s AGM minutes are here for those with an interest on how things work, (WSYCL AGM MINS 2016), but probably of more interest to players and managers(?) are the proposed rule changes for the 2018 season.

Dear Members!
I hope you have enjoyed a good summer break with your family. A short note with some important news about our Club.
President
Philip Jansen has decided to step down as President of our Club, having held the post for three years. He’s been a great help to me and has been a generous donor when we were raising funds to extend our clubhouse.
Please make every effort to get down to the Stoke Rec this evening and cheer on the Under 11s in their Cup Final against Spencer.
The match starts at 6pm.
The bar is open and there will be a BBQ. Kevin will provide a jug of beer for anyone who helps behind the bar or with the BBQ.

Weybridge U11 156 for 9 (30 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon U11 127 all out (24.5 overs)

A very competitive match away to Weybridge saw the hosts just edge it. Stoke were very unlucky putting in an excellent team performance, containing a strong Weybridge team, (resplendent in their purple coloured clothing.) Great work by George A taking 3 wickets, two for JT, two for Hasaan, one for Toby & Charlie and both Charlie & Oliver taking two catches each.
