Normandy 249-9 (65 overs)
Reigate Priory 104 all out (41 overs)

Reigate Priory played host to a line-up of Test match greats last Sunday in the annual charity match against the famous Lashings side.

Captained by Richie Richardson, Lashings also included fellow West Indian bowler Curtley Ambrose and Australian batsmen Greg Blewett, in the game played in front of a full house at Park Lane.

The Lashing team batted first and Zimbabwean Grant Flower was quickly into his stride striking boundaries with some flowing shots.

It was the fall of the first wicket, thanks to a fine catch from Chris Murtagh off the bowling of Jimmy Bovill, that brought Australian Greg Blewett to the crease, and together with Flower produced some sparkling shots to all parts of the ground.

They both scored centuries, before declaring shortly after lunch, with Priory chasing 259.

Despite facing the intimidating figure of Curtley Ambrose, Priory's openers Alex Richards and Matt Bennett saw him off well, with Bennett audaciously pulling him to the mid-wicket boundary.

Richards was first to go bowled by former Surrey bowler, Ed Giddings, which brought Chris Murtagh to the crease to form a fine partnership with Bennett, both reaching half-centuries.

However they couldn't keep their partnership together, and the rest of the Priory batsmen got the score up to a respectable 220 before the final wicket fell.

A great day's cricket was enjoyed by players and spectators, and the crowd was joined by Adam Hollioake to thank them and the club for donating funds raised on the day to The Ben Hollioake Fund supporting CHASE; the Surrey-based charity that creates a network of care for life limited young people and their families.

Reigate Priory saw their chances of winning the Premier league title slip for good as they lost to Normandy.

After putting the opposition in to bat Alex Mendis produced the first wicket thanks to a juggling catch from Robbie Young, but the Priory bowlers struggled to make an impact after that.

Howell, Grice and Elahi all compiled half-centuries before Aaron Pope returned to the bowling attack and picked up four wickets to restrict the progress. Normandy declared after the ninth wicket, with a challenging total of 249.

Matt Bennett and Toby Briggs initially looked solid in the opening overs, and on Bennett's departure for nine, Stuart Mills showed some of his impressive form from the second XI to prevent further losses.

On Mills' departure the rest of the Priory batting fell to the medium pace of Cornell who picked up four for 13 as the total slumped to 104 all out.
