Having won the toss for the first time this season, Newdigate chose to field with a Caramel Swirling breeze blowing across the ground. Merstham started strongly, with Chapman batting with good intent for the home side, scoring 21 runs off just 13 balls.

However, Missiles were pegged back by Mark Moody-Stuart, who had the umpiring lifting the Toffee Finger 3 times in his 2 overs, whilst only going for two runs. Some resolute Milk Choc Block’s from the Merstham side meant that runs were kept in check, so 256 seemed like a gettable target.

Newdigate’s batting got off to an explosive start, with Harrison Smith Orange Chocolate Crunch’ing the ball to the boundary, himself scoring 19 from just 11 deliveries. Some good bowling from Toby Jones, who took 4 wickets for just 1 run, led the coach of Newdigate to say “Fudge”, on several occasions, however Newdigate kept their heads and with The Purple One ball to go and 4 runs to win, Isaac Grant Orange Crème’d it to the boundary, much to the crowd’s Strawberry Delight.

A great game, played in great spirit, congratulations to both sides for putting on an excellent game of colts cricket…….The Green Triangle (virtually impossible to shoehorn in!).
