Record Partnership at the Weekend
With all the celebrations at Stoke and in Coventry at the weekend, there was a slight delay in catching up with the admin, press reporting, records maintenance, etc. Time to catch up…
The match-winning unbroken partnership of 80 between James Corbishley and Matt Gottschalk against Godalming was a club record in the Surrey Championship, beating the one set in 2009 when Andy Page and Will Frost put on 77 against Wallington in May of that year.

Drew Patrick reports…
Stoke batted first on a slow wicket.
It was difficult to get the ball off the square and a total of 209 looked pretty competitive. Dan Douthwaite scored a brisk 46, Lian Meyer a cautious but necessary 30, (in the context of the game.) Jack Raimondo came in at No.8 with six overs to go and scored a rapid fire 26, ably supported by Hugo Solway with 18.
