Surrey Championship Premier Division
Reigate Priory 196-9
Banstead 60
Priory win by 136 runs
IN-FORM Luke Beaven took 5-5 to condemn Banstead to another Surrey Championship defeat.
Will Hodson (5-29) also took five wickets as Reigate Priory secured their spot at the top of the Premier Division with their fifth win from five.
In a game reduced to 105 overs after rain, Banstead won the toss and put the home side into bat.
The Llamas struggled to settle, with Andy Delmont (101no) providing more than half the runs, no one else amassing over 19.
Despite the Rams, who are winless in 2014, having form very much against them, with Priory finishing on 196-9 it seemed like an upset was at least possible.
However, Banstead's poor form with the bat continued as Beaven and Hodson ensured a steady stream of visiting batsmen trudged back towards the new Llamas clubhouse.
Only two of Banstead's batting order, Uwe Birkenstock and Richard Bedbrook, managed to amass double figures as they found themselves all out for a dismal 60.
