Merstham cricket club’s first team will be celebrating promotion at their 150th anniversary dinner on Friday.
On Saturday they took their 12th victory of the season against Wandgas, the first of three away games in a row.
Merstham chose to bowl and dismissed their hosts for 154 in the 39th over.
They have three games left to clinch the title, with Chaldon the only team who can beat them to the top spot.
Newdigate, John Fisher and Warlingham now stand between them and the title.
Surrey County Council are celebrating the impressive turn out at the weekend’s RideLondon – Surrey event.
The cabinet member for community service, Helyn Clack said she’s delighted the wind and rain didn’t quash the determination of nearly 21,000 cyclists who turned out for the event.
She added that watching olympian Sir Bradley Wiggins and waves of amateurs tackle the difficult route was magnificent.
The bad weather yesterday meant the RideLondon – Surrey 100, had to be cut to 86 miles, missing some parts of the route.
Crawley Town made an excellent start to their league one season with a 1 nil win at Barnsley. The home side were reduced to 10 men when Dale Jennings received a red card for his reaction to being fouled by Reds midfielder Gwion Edwards. Izale McLeod’s late header sealed the win for Crawley.

Merstham started their 2014/15 campaign in Ryman South League with a 1 all away draw at Tooting & Mitcham United. Merstham went ahead in the 19th minute thanks to Aaron Rhule, but a late goal from Craig Watkins for Tooting ensured the teams finished level at the final whistle.
In other Ryman league results, Redhill drew 1 all with East Grinstead Town, as did Three Bridges in their encounter with Folkstone Invicta. And newley promoted South Park had a good 2 nil away win at Horsham.
We can look forward to Barnsley playing Crawley tomorrow afternoon in League 1.
In the Ryman League Redhill is up against East Grinstead Town and Tooting and Mitcham United kick off the new season against Merstham football club.
Following the Three Bridges manager Paul Faili’s new role as interim chairman, the team beat Dorking wanderers 1-0 last night.
The goal came from a stunning volley from Abu Touray in the last of their pre-season friendlies.
Faili has taken on the role from Paul Terry who stepped down after a year in the position.
He said that he is massively proud but that it’s not a position he wants permanently, adding that anyone who has the necessary experience and qualifications should come forward for the position.
