  TRINITY Mid-Whitgiftian withstood a remarkable late fightback to deny Esher promotion in a terrific end-of-season encounter last Saturday. Chasing 245 for victory, Esher's promotion hopes looked to be all but over when they were reduced to 140-7, but a valiant 82 from captain Derek Lane almost turned the game on its head before he was run out in a dramatic finale.

Having lost the toss and been invited to bat first, Mids occupied their full 55 over allocation as they ground their way to 194-6 with a batting display which was diligent and resolute if somewhat lacking in flair. Mids' cautious approach was perhaps understandable after last week's capitulation to Esher...

  FORMER Trinity Mid-Whitgiftian batsman Gary Butcher came back to haunt his old club with a brilliant century as Mids endured a disastrous afternoon against Esher on Saturday. After losing the toss and being asked to bat the visitors made light of a damp wicket to pile up an impressive total against a depleted Mids attack which badly missed the absent Mark Roberts, Matt Winter and Ali Abbas.
