What a season!
On the back of an excep}onal 2023, it was remarkable, and almost certainly
unprecedented, to achieve the equivalent of 4 Saturday league promo}ons –
two champions, two runners-up – play in a Trust League 昀椀nal, win a Trust
division }tle and be victorious in the U19 Tier 2 cup.
TMWCC Magazine Report
December 2024
Triumph against a backdrop of uncertainty. The prospect of the biggest
changes to the structure of senior league cricket in the county since the
forma}on of the Surrey Championship in the late 1960s did not dampen
resolve or focus, producing one of our most successful seasons.
Con昀椀dence was high that recent standards could provide a solid founda}on
for a strong 1st XI campaign and a good chance of back-to-back promo}ons.
The opening a琀琀ack, arguably the best in the league, was ever threatening and
very consistent. Many opposi}on were dismissed for low totals as the
spinners were frugal in limi}ng scoring opportuni}es providing perfect foils
for the strike bowlers. Disappoin}ng results in July failed to derail
momentum, and an upturn in August set up a last game of the season needing
a win and results to go our way. Despite a nervous chase, promo}on was
secured in leapfrogging the unfortunately abandoned Old Emanuel in to 2nd
place.
Anthony Brady steps down aver 5 years as 1st XI / Club Captain. His
contribu}on to the improvement in Club fortunes should not be
underes}mated, thus being very deserving of this recogni}on.
