What an event!
From Monday to Thursday, the rain was pouring down and the ‘Stoke Smash’ organising committee was contemplating a myriad of actions, including postponement, using the astro pitch for the match and renting a dozen gazebos to keep people dry.

AJ Fordham Surrey Championship
Old Rutlishians 310 for 9 (50 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 206 all out (37.5 overs)
Old Rutlishians won by 104 runs
Stoke were set one of the highest totals ever made by an opposition at The Rec, and they gave it a go but eventually fell to defeat.
One of our golden generation turns 30 today!
When not doing his bit for World Peace in Somalia and other parts of the world, Frosty has taken time out to pen this for your enjoyment:
Here is my submission for my greatest Stoke XI:
1. Jack Raimondo
I know, I know an opening batsman who is scared of fast bowling!? But I have seen Mr Prawn – the self-confessed ‘closet six footer’ – score more runs and more match winning innings than almost anyone else. This added to his, (ahem), social contribution and the fact that we used to played rugby together from the age of 4 means that he is a shoe-in to open the batting in this team.

AJ Fordham Surrey Championship
Chipstead Coulsdon & Walcountians 253 for 6 (50 overs)
Stoke D’Abernon 231 all out (47.5 overs)
Chipstead Coulsdon & Walcountians won by 22 runs
A first defeat of the season for Stoke’s 1st XI in a high quality match at picturesque Chipstead; James Trower’s men making light of the absence of a few key personnel, notably both opening bowlers; those coming into the side doing a great job.
