🏏 POTM Round-Up 🏏
takes 1st XI POTM after a match-winning all-round performance, scoring 55 runs in Ripley’s successful chase of 171 👏🏏
George’s innings included 8 fours and 2 sixes, while he also played his part with the ball, returning impressive figures of 9 overs for 23 runs. In the chase, he was well supported by Matt Harris (42), Tom Clover (24) and , who fittingly hit the winning boundary to finish unbeaten on 23 🟢🏏
Earlier in the day, Jack starred with the ball, taking 4-25 from 6.2 overs, while Toby Zapp produced another excellent spell, claiming 3-22 from 9 overs. An outstanding team performance sees the 1s make it back-to-back victories. Can they make it three in a row against Chertsey? 💪
For the 2nd XI, Toby Baddock claims POTM after an attacking 46 from just 36 balls, striking 7 fours at a superb strike rate of 124 👏🏏
With the ball, Sam Sugars (3-27 from 8) and Gerrard Baker (3-34 from 8) led the attack with three wickets apiece, while Dan Smith bowled brilliantly to take 2-12 from his 8 overs. Defending a low total against the league leaders was always going to be tough, and despite a determined effort, Merrow reached the target in the 32nd over. A few extra runs and the outcome could have been very different against the division’s top side.
In the Sunday XI, makes his second appearance of the week, claiming another POTM after a superb 82 from 71 balls, including 14 fours at a strike rate of 115.49 🏏👏
George was well supported by Matt Russell (46) and John Grimsdale (29) as Ripley posted a competitive 204. However, the standout moment of the day belonged to , who produced an incredible spell by taking 4 wickets in 4 balls and was agonisingly denied the chance of 5 wickets in 5 balls by a dropped catch. A remarkable effort and one he will hopefully build upon in the remaining league fixtures. Unfortunately, Pyrford chased the target down in the final over, bringing a thrilling contest to a close. A fantastic weekend of cricket and only a handful of fixtures left to play! 🟢🏏
