Two tons, two 4fors, 10 wins

It has to have been something special to keep Saturday's 1st XI win over Ashtead off the front page for 4 days. I wonder what it could have been?

Not only was Saturday their 10th straight win but the 10th time all 10 opposition wickets have been taken.

Spin twins Beaven and Munday took 4 wickets each but Ashtead are always formidable opponents and totalled 276. A really tough chase was in the end made to look comfortable by Jake Lehmann and Andy Delmont who both scored centuries and put on an undefeated 3rd wicket stand of 209, just 10 runs short of beating Murtagh and Foster's record.

A top day for the Priory also saw the 3s, 4s, 5s and Vikings win and a draw for the 2s.

No wonder the club was still packed at closing time.
