David Jay brings you this week’s roundup which sees East Grinstead’s Lewis Hatchett and Ian Sturmer steamroller Sussex Premiership leaders Cuckfield for 59; Horley’s winning run continues; and there are hundreds at Merstham for Noman Javed and Laurie Nicholson, for Priory 1s’ Brad Scriven, and for Priory 3s Manoj Rajarethinam makes 140 off 64 balls as the side add 210 for the last three wickets.
This week’s roundup sees Reigate Priory stay top of the Premiership with 6 wickets for skipper Luke Beaven; brings news of unbeaten hundreds for Leigh’s Alex Smith and Merstham’s Noman Javed; plus ‘5-fers’ for Priory’s Matt Packham, and Merstham’s Imran Aslam and Anand Pratap. Evergreen Trevor Stevens bowls Horley to a win, and there’s news of next week’s On The Front Foot Susy Cricket Show on which Trevor is a guest.
This week sees Reigate Priory topping the Premiership on their own, and Horley 1sts securing a win, while a valiant unbeaten 120 from Outwood’s Phil Blease can’t prevent his team falling an agonising 4 runs short of a famous victory chasing 300.
