Weekend Round-Up: 12/07/2025

Will Ray14 Jul - 19:00

Recapping on a much better weekend for the club.

The 1st XI had an excellent win on the road to Welwyn Garden City as they did the double over their opponents in the league. Fielding first on a hot day, Hertford did brilliantly to restrict WGC to 249 with wickets coming from Carlson (4/60) and Day (2/17). The top 6 put in an excellent run-chase which led by Lawrance (78) and Ray (64) and expertly finished off by Mikedis (44*) and Leather (35*).

The 2s enjoyed a tense low-scoring win at Balls Park over Watford Town, beating their opponents by 20 runs. Hertford batted first and could only manage 146 thanks largely to 65 from Abeywickrema and a late cameo of 26* by Wilson. A fantastic bowling effort in the 2nd innings by B.Orchard (4/24) and Murphy (2/32) led Hertford to victory.

The 3s were the only team to lose at the weekend and that was in spite of posting a competitive 238 A.O. in their batting innings (Rideout 77; Pavey.S 44). It was, unfortunately, not enough, as their opponents - Aldenham - eased to a 5 wicket victory (Abell.C 2/53; Buse 1/10).

The 4th XI took maximum points from their league match which was conceded by Hatfield & Crusaders, but were also able to win their fill-in friendly fixture against Mill Hill Village which gave valuable time in the middle for the team. Hertford fielded first and restricted Mill Hill to 167/5 from 35 overs (Batra 1/8; Jones.T 1/17) - a total which they chased comfortably for the loss of just 2 wickets (Batra 63*; 58*).
