Lymington teenager Gareth Schreuder hit an unbeaten half-century on trial for Surrey in a rain dogged scheduled three-day Second XI Championship match against Kent at Canterbury's Polo Fields.
The 19-year old batsman/wicketkeeper hit a patient 53 not out leading Surrey out of trouble at 99-4 to 213-5 by stumps on a delayed opening day. Day two was completely washed out by heavy rain and any play on Thursday appears unlikely.
A highly talented sportsman from Hilton College, Schrueder played for the KZN Dolphins team which won the CSA Under-19 provincial championships in South Africa in January, having been selected to play for South Africa Colts against SA Schools following a successful Nuffield/Coke Week Festival in Cape Town before Christmas.
