Sunday XI defeated by Chessington

Sunday 11th June 2023
Friendly
Chessington 134 for 9 (35 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 100 all out (28.5 overs)
Chessington won by 34 runs

Continued good availability, that saw the possibility of a second fixture at one point in the week, saw us secure this excellent fixture. Good job we didn’t book one as the availability gods then did their worst; the pool of eighteen available players went to ten with no regular keeper by the morning of the game with some new entries to the book of reasons for dropping out, and all pre-game planning to try to bat first went out of the window.

“I get out caught a lot”

Followers of our Twitter page would have seen us recently capture details of our active players with the most number of innings having never been dismissed leg before. (For those who hadn’t seen it Geoff Vinall tops that list with a current run of 51 innings from debut and never been lbw.) Read more

A clinical performance at Parkside took the 3rd XI to what they thought would be one win away from a second successive promotion, but results elsewhere called for the champagne a week early. Read more

2020 – A statistical review

The strangest of years but still one for the stattos amongst us to get our teeth into.

World events meant we had the latest start ever to a season – 18th July – and our enthusiasm to play meant that we also had the latest finish – 10th October – the previous record of the 1st October, (three previous occasions), would also have been beaten had we played the fixture we arranged with Oxted & Limpsfield for the 3rd October, but torrential rain in Limpsfield in the week ruined that plan. Club President Stephen Finch was clearly determined not to lose his claim to be an active player to have last played in October, turning out on 10/10/2020 to add to his last October appearance on 01/10/1977!

Stoke D’Abernon 138 for 5 (35.2 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon won by 5 wickets Read more

Stoke D’Abernon 2nd XI 169 all out (43.4 overs)

Stoke’s 2nd XI suffered another defeat, and victory for Ripley over Purley leaves them facing the grim prospect of a second successive relegation. Read more

Sunday Round Up – One Win, One Loss

Sunday 11th August 2019

The week started with excellent availability to source a second fixture. The traditional number of drop outs, including four on the Saturday, one at 10.30pm and another tried to bail on the Sunday morning but was turned around, made for a bit of a late scramble but 21 players helped make two games; each side posting a similar score but with a different result.
