Easy Street
Two Surrey cricket enthusiasts, who had travelled over on the bus from Blackheath, enjoy some shade whilst watching Normandy lose by 20 runs to Sutton in the Premier Division of the Ryman Surrey Championship. The attractive Lower Ground, off Hunts Hill Road, is part of Normandy Common, and encircled by trees and footpaths.
Match statistics: Sutton 226-8 off 50 overs (Garth Davson 78, Harry Allen 54, Gary Outram 37, Vignesh Venkateswaran 4-40) 20pts beat Normandy 206 off 49.1 overs (Ian Prowse 48, Howard Grice 47, Chris Jones 25, Garth Davson 4-37, Harry Allen 3-40) 5pts by 20 runs. Sutton won the toss and elected to bat. Attendance: 40.
Normandy Cricket Club were formed in 1896. After spells at fields near Westwood Farm and in School Lane, they moved to Hunts Hill Road, part of Normandy Common, in 1947 when Lower Ground was ready for use. Upper Ground, a second square on adjoining land, followed in 1991. Despite being a village club, Normandy have attained ECB Premier League status.
