A great weekend for the club as all four Saturday teams record wins!

The 1st XI made the short trip to Byfleet and having lost the toss, were put into bat. A decision the home side were soon to regret with Scudder scoring his first ton of the season as we posted 244-4 from our 50 overs.
In reply Byfleet never got going with our relentless bowling attack soon having them 95-5 after 20 overs and soon all out for 136, Dave Morris taking 5 wickets. A convincing 108 run victory. Scorecard

The 2nd XI hosted Camberley. Winning the toss, Camberley batted first posting 182-9 from their 50 overs. Pick of the bowlers was Captain Hook taking 4-36 from 8 overs, ably supported by tight spells from Pandit, Staight and Ramasamy.
The Egham innings started well with Sprackling and Harrison both playing their shots, only for Sprackling to get out driving loosely with the score 37-1. The innings progressed nicely and after Harrison and Dix fell, Wright kept things ticking, patiently dispatching the bad balls whilst well supported by Turner (14). Egham reached their target in the 42nd over for the loss of just 4 wickets. Wright finishing 60 not out and Ramasamy 25. Scorecard

After two disappointing defeats, the 3rd XI were looking to get their campaign up and running with the visit of Farnham to Royal Holloway. Having been put into bat, they set about the task well, ending on 236 all out, the top seven all achieving double figures. Most notably, Connor Hawes scored 71 in his first outing of the season.
In reply, Farnham never looked like chasing down the target and ended up 158-5 from their 45 overs. Tight spells all round, the pick of them wasDhinesh who posted figures of 3-26 from 9 overs. Scorecard

The 4th XI visited local Kempton, having won one and lost one so far. Kempton won the toss and decided to bat; following a tight opening 10 overs where one wicket fell, the change bowlers made quick in roads and wickets began to fall. Kempton were eventually 121 all out, with two wickets apiece for Nilesh and Balaji; and 3 for Cal Hamilton.
In reply the 4's made steady progress and reached their target after 29 overs for the loss of 6 wickets; Captain, Ramesh holding things together with 31 not out. Scorecard
