REIGATE Priory juniors have won all four of the age-group north east and central Surrey finals they reached.

They made the finals day by being top of their leagues or, in the U11s case, reaching the cup final.

At U10s, Reigate's bowlers gifted Wimbledon 60 runs in extras, allowing them to reach 304 (from the usual 200 start point), and after 13 of the 20 overs of Reigate's innings, still 65 runs behind, the win looked unlikely.

But fourth pair Sam Hall (with a terrific 30) and Angus McGilligan made it look possible and Harri Aravinthan, supported by Suanu Saro-Wiwa, finished it off, reaching 307 off 20 overs.

The U11 game was more comfortable as Wandgas were given a lesson in efficient and disciplined cricket. Having won both their NEC and ESL leagues, a good Reigate display was expected.

Victory was achieved without county players and demonstrates how well some lads have developed this year, as a team and individually.

Joe Gregory and Tom Riddick, for example, were the second batting pair and they put on 40 without losing a wicket and put Reigate in a position very early on where they were never going to lose. Reigate made 305 to Wandgas' 255.

On the other pitch, Priory's U9s were making rather heavier weather of it. Spencer (who also had four teams in the six finals but went home empty handed) made 265.

The Reigate lads chipped away slowly but surely and the game was in the balance into the last over.

The young Llamas' final pair of Tom Allen and Benji Chesser are good and wise players and while Tom was striking lovely fours, Benji was nudging ones.

There was a minor hiccup just before the finish line, but another fine strike by Allen followed by a clear head from Chesser as he left balls off line and blocked the straight ones, saw Reigate home with 271.

A heavy shower delayed and shortened the U14 match to 12 overs. Llama team manager Andy Newbold was worried this might reduce the game to a lottery.

Spencer surprisingly decided to bat first. Some tight bowling, Connor Cody and Jack Lloyd particularly impressing, kept Spencer to 59. Spencer then bowled pretty tidily but Lloyd again performed well, although was outshone in the clean hitting stakes by Jordan Bunyan, the number five hitting 24 with calm, well timed shots into space, bringing up the win in the 10th over.

After a memorable year, club chairman and director of youth cricket Jim Harmer was delighted, but commented on the wider aspects of involvement in junior cricket.

"'I think it is generally agreed that cricket is a sport which encourages fair play and good sportsmanship - ethics that we at Reigate Priory try to instil in all our youngsters.

"These results are a fantastic achievement for our lads, managers and coaches but no matter whether a player holds up a winners' medal at the season end or not, we hope that all our players enjoy being involved at some level and take away with them the additional positive aspects of teamwork, discipline and responsibility as well developing as cricketers."
