Horley snatch victory from final ball in close-fought division clash

HORLEY were dangerously close to the relegation spot as they headed into the sixth match of the Surrey Women's League Division Two East season - but a three-wicket win over Dorking & Newdigate lifted them to fourth in the six-team division.

Bracing themselves for the hottest day of the year on Sunday, Horley elected to bowl first and got off to a great start with the in-form Megan Crisell falling for six to Lauren Waddington.

Dorking & Newdigate were cruising along, not missing any opportunity to run - but Nicky Williams was the next to go, in the sixth over, caught by Megan Griffiths off Cassie Gannon’s bowling.

Five runs later, Sarah Oram was out LBW to Griffiths.

Dorking & Newdigate’s Jude Turner and Karen Fordree forged a solid partnership, taking the score to 115 before Waddington bowled Fordree on 37. Karen Stockbridge came up to the crease and Waddington sent her packing straight away, clean bowled.
