Farnham lost eight wickets for only seven runs and ended up tieing their pre-season friendly with
Alton at The Castle, where each side was bowled out for 234.
The Surrey club looked to have the game in the bag as James Berry (102) and skipper Tom Grimes (78) shared a 159-run third-wicket partnership to ease Farnham to 227-2.
But when Grimes was run out and Berry was caught and bowled soon after, Farnham collapsed in sensational style, with Tom South and Gemma Porter wrecking their middle and lower-order.
