Siddhanth Shekhkar (Bur Oak SS) then took control with four wickets for just 12 runs from four overs. Gayan Ferdinands (Blessed Cardinal Newman HS) chipped in with two for 11 from four overs and Darshil Patel return to mop up the last two wickets as the hosts fell all out for 83. Darshil Patel ended with three wickets for just five runs from his four overs. Three Long Ditton players each made13 runs and a tail ended was left on 10 not out, but none of the batsman made a significant score

\nThe game was watched by Keith Medlycott, who coached Surrey with success after retiring as a player for the county, who later provided insight for the Mayor\u2019s XI about the mental side of playing cricket. Medlycott\u2019s son was in the Long Ditton side. Medlycott had toured with England and England A but did not play in a test match.
