THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE SLAM |
|
Following a significant geographical expansion from a provincial midweek competition in the southwest of the county, backed by The Surrey Cricket Foundation, 2018 saw the birth of The Surrey Slam with a single tier Men's competition that attracted 64 teams in the first edition concluding with a win for Spencer Spitfires at the inaugural Finals' Day at Beddington CC. Short format cricket in the county hasn't been the same since and the following year saw the launch of the Women's competition!
Wind forward 5 years and the 2023 season saw both the Men's and Women's competitions operating on two tiers with 102 and 24 teams involved respectively.
