A Message from our President Dear All Cricket Fans, What a difference a year makes! Last year we were all bemoaning the fact that we had just lost five nil to Australia once again, and a year later we are all revelling in the triumphs of Ben Stokes that have lit up cricket perhaps as never before and make the coming Ashes look spectacular.

I was fortunate enough to be at a dinner where one of the England players told me what Brendon McCullum had said to them when he first came into the England dressing room; roughly as this…"I'm not a very good coach, but you are the best players in the country and don't need coaching. But what I can do for you… I can make you feel 10 foot tall!” that's quite something!

Hopefully all that enthusiasm at the top, which is obviously going to be tested as never before this summer, will fan the flames of our great game, and make not just this season but many seasons happy and spectacular.

And hopefully many kids around the country will also feel 10 foot tall.

Cherish the game, have a great season.

All the best.

Nigel

Cover photo Effectiveness is usually more important than technique. Ross Murphy’s team-mates at Hertford say that bowling with his action takes guts. Even at the point of backfoot contact, a still image belies the energy which “Murph” imparts on the ball. And the attitude to every ball is the same with this reliable character - whether you’re heading for a win or crumbling to defeat - he’s 100% committed. For that, together with his all-round significant contribution to the club, he deserved his successes as the leading wicket taker in Hertford’s 2nd XI in 2022. Hertford say they just hope batsman haven’t learned to ‘pick him’ in 2023!

ECB Grant Payments to Premier Divisions

In last year’s handbook we explained how we dealt with the distribution of ECB grant monies to the clubs in our Premier and Championship divisions. At the time of going to print we anticipate receiving £15,000 from the ECB for the 2023 season and we intend to divide this, as before, between those clubs so that the Premier clubs receive £1,000 each and the Championship clubs £500 each. Details of any changes, occasioned by the ECB amending the amount of the grant, will be posted on the website and communicated to the clubs separately. As before the grant is discretionary and the League is under no obligation to distribute it in any specific way.

As a reminder to clubs we deduct from the standard payment to each club £25 for each playcricket reporting failure, £25 for any spike mark received for pitches not reaching the required standard and £25 for each level one disciplinary offence and £50 or higher for each level two (or above) disciplinary offence. At the end of the season all fines are added up and distributed equally between those clubs who have not incurred any fines.

Foreword It was thirty years ago (that’s a Pearl Jubilee for those who have an anniversary this year) when the two senior cricket leagues in Hertfordshire merged to form the new Hertfordshire Cricket League with 75 clubs in four divisions at 1st, 2nd and two 3rd XI divisions.

Six years later, Saracens became our Sponsor and gave us the wherewithal to build a strategy and structure to support clubs in their development over the years, starting with an innovative project to provide free helmets to every club in the first year of mandatory wearing of helmets for juniors. Here we are, in 2023, with 100 clubs, 28 divisions, 279 teams, 13,000 registered players, 350 qualified umpires and 80 qualified scorers. Not a bad record.

Right now, costs on all fronts are at their most challenging, and we will do well to manage through these difficult times. For example, the cost of cricket balls for 2023 has reached £80,000 and the cost of panel umpires now exceeds £45,000 for those top teams using the panel. Add the cost of equipment and maintenance, groundstaff, pavilion management and administration and we will all have to find ways to mitigate as much of that outlay as possible.

In a nutshell, that cost conundrum is high up the list of responsibilities the League Executive is expected to address with the advice, guidance and funding from our governing bodies, and why we must develop a direction of travel that meets those aims. Structure, match formats, reduced travel, and complying with the ever-changing regulations to keep us safe and legal, are some of the key elements we have to consider, and why we have implemented some of the changes in the last five-year spell.

Barry Hellewell’s extensive Secretary’s Report on page 80 looks back at 2022, and rightly raises growing concerns on staffing and usage of grounds, the growing number of match concessions in the lower divisions and worries about on and off-field matters which we must not ignore. The following paragraphs are my comments which pick up Barry’s thoughts and are for discussion at our Exec meetings and no doubt reflected in coming surveys.

In terms of the general structure, we operate as a true pyramid, as opposed to a structure in other leagues with divisions for the different XIs, and for now we believe that our approach works for the majority. There are ongoing thoughts about division(s) for single-team clubs with a route into the main structure, more divisions to become regionalised, and we have formalised a structure for friendly matches for those teams that have no ground or opponent on a Saturday due to drop-outs or ground issues.

There are also now options in some of the lower divisions to switch a match from Saturday to the Sunday to “get the game on”.

There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to match formats. Feedback tells us that the Premier divisions like the split of timed and overs matches, and the remainder prefer overs matches with different lengths and start times, so no change for the coming season, but time will determine whether future changes are needed.

I spotted this headline for a Sunday Times article in March : “ Is IPL taking the game to a new level or is it just a vulgar monstrosity?”. The IPL is 15 Tony Johnson on the big screen at Saracens, years old now but does still divide views. However, March 2023, telling the crowd about the 23-year partnership with our main sponsor.

the fact that some of the player skills have transferred to County and Test cricket with great success has surprised many a traditionalist, so the ever-increasing number of national versions of the IPL remain in the fixture lists and are here to stay. It seems clear from our league experience that our Premier divisions like the T20 format as a warm up weekend and a chance to progress to becoming national champions. However, the lower divisions have been lukewarm at the option to play in a league T20 competition (only 20% of teams apply, due to other choices) so we will see how 2023 pans out. Other formats, such as 15-15 or 10-10, are trialling in other counties, as is The Hundred, so we have to keep an open mind.

The lifeblood and potential survival of clubs and our sport relies on a healthy intake of youngsters every year, and that entails a club structure that needs to find managers and coaches to support that section. Easier said than done, with qualified coaches in short supply, but there are courses every year via the County, and I urge you to make every effort to use that resource. To that end, the links between club and schools remain a valuable way to generate and foster a lasting interest in cricket for both parties.

The revival of the Development Divisions project did not get off the ground last year due to clashes with school timetables, so we are trying again. Essentially it is for interested clubs to address the challenge of trying to give more young players a chance to hone their skills and learn in a team including three or four senior players. As said many times, your young players are your future, and they are quick to vote with their feet if you ignore them.

Winter training courses for umpires and scorers are going well again, and, although numbers are lower than previous years, we are encouraged by new recruits in recent weeks.

We need all clubs, especially those using panel umpires, to find suitable recruits to support the panel.

Our financial position remains very healthy and is again primarily thanks to Nigel Wray and Saracens for their continued backing as our Prime Sponsor since 2000, and we work with them to promote their brand while helping your club to reduce running costs by various means. Good governance requires us to keep a significant reserve in place for any unseen circumstances, so we are bringing back the annual subscription, but considering ways to return financial benefit back to clubs by way of credits, such as a return percentage of ball-order costs. Thank you, Nigel, for your vision and help with the development of our league.

It T20 and Trophy competitions. Neil Pullen and his team are was presented by the Chairman to great supporters and their sustained backing of our league is Sam Rippington, Director of Cricket, at last year's captains meeting another reason for our financial health.

Please feel free to contact any of us on the Executive if you have any questions or ideas for us to consider, and with an eye on succession planning, please let us know if you are prepared to take on a role on one of our committees. It is vital that we stay in touch with the views of players and administrators alike.

I said it last year, but I strongly advise that the management team in every club makes sure that its players and members are fully aware of the new regulations on and off the field (for example EDI, Safeguarding, the Non-Discrimination Code, and the revised ECB General Conduct Regulations) and to ask questions if there is anything you don’t understand.

Finally, my personal thanks go in particular to the members of our hard-working Executive Committee and its sub-committees. On behalf of your Executive, I also pay tribute to the scores of volunteers who keep your club running, and on whose efforts you are so reliant.

Enjoy your season once the rain stops and the jet stream behaves.

Save Village Cricket The Dawn of a New Era of Collaboration

By Ben Wilson Save Village Cricket never set out to become a national movement promoting, advocating, and taking action on behalf of cricket clubs everywhere. Instead, it began with a simple ‘cry for help’ from a Herts League club which – during its 70th year – found itself unable to field any sides on the first Saturday last summer.

For those of you who haven’t read the letter from Bayford Cricket Club – a small, but longstanding village cricket club – see opposite. It was only meant for a Hertfordshire audience but, having released it far and wide – thanks to the power of social media – it seemed to resonate with clubs everywhere. It seems as though we were not the only club struggling, looking for answers as to how to halt the decline in participation.

audience. We can debate solutions and issues long into the night, but what we do need now is practical solutions.

So, what can we, as a community of Hertfordshire clubs, do to support every club in our county to thrive? Also ensuring that clubs – big and small – are here not just for the next five years but for the next 50. Cricket clubs are such important parts of communities, while grounds, as we all know, are not easy to replace!

What we learnt from last year is that collaboration between clubs goes a long way. Not only in ensuring fixtures are fulfilled and that everyone who wants to play cricket on a Saturday can do so, but in giving youngsters a chance to play adult league cricket.

For example, we at Bayford not only hosted Now some of you reading this may be at players from other clubs in our 2nd XI, when clubs that are thriving and that is fantastic their own games were cancelled, but also to see! This new-founded campaign is here sent players to other clubs. We also hosted to celebrate success, in the hope that clubs young cricketers who would otherwise not can learn from what works for others. Some have got a game that week, ensuring they of you will say: “invest in junior cricket; build got a bowl or a bat.

We get it! No club wants to offer players to other clubs, just to find themselves short themselves on a Saturday morning. However, it is exactly this thinking that is actually more damaging than we all realise.

As an example, just think of the young cricketers who, not having been picked for a number of Saturdays, may drift away from the game, lost forever. This benefits no-one.

Instead think of the young cricketer who spends time playing regular adult cricket, perhaps at another club, gaining all that experience, and comes back hungry next season to play at a higher level.

It is this new era of collaborative thinking that will be critical moving forward. We all have a responsibility to ensure that cricket in Hertfordshire is thriving and we are in it together. So, if you can collaborate with others, or answer a cry for help from a club this season, do so. Let’s lead the way in Hertfordshire by ushering in a new era of collaboration!

AN OPEN LETTER TO SAVE VILLAGE CRICKET Dear All, At Bayford and Hertford Nondescripts CC, after the grim world of lockdowns, social distancing and no changing rooms or bar, the 2022 post pandemic cricket season promised a bright, fresh start. We hoped that the very bastion of an English Summer – village cricket – would see old players return and new players, of whatever standard, wanting to give the game a try.

However, this has not been the case and, as we approach our 70th year, the club, unfortunately, is in trouble. This week, for the first time in our modern history there was no league game for Bayford cricketers, the club having to concede both the home and away fixture. We were not alone, with more than a dozen games conceded across the Herts Saracens League.

There are numerous reasons for the decline in playing numbers, cricket is a long game and time is precious to many people, ‘time poor’ has become a common phrase. Travelling adds to the burden. Furthermore, a game which has long periods when not much happens seems at odds with a society built on instant gratification.

Competing priorities for young people is no doubt a contributing factor to a significant drop in numbers. Sadly, without action more clubs will inevitably close with cricket fields lost to the community. More recently the current cost of living crisis may also impact.

This season we have made a conscious decision to remove any financial barriers to participation, making all cricket free to play, with no membership fees or match subscriptions and keeping bar prices as low as possible. The club is financially sound and well run. We want to encourage those who have given up the game, or who may wish to play for the first time, to come and enjoy a Saturday at one of the most picturesque grounds in Hertfordshire with excellent facilities.

It is a common problem impacting on recreational cricket, so the fundamental question is what can be done to save village cricket? In our view, there needs to be an urgent discussion throughout cricket about a long-term strategy to support and rebuild the game. This needs to be bottom up and involve as many players and explayers as possible, all Clubs, Leagues and Governing Bodies. This needs to be given priority as there is clearly no easy answers.

More immediately, we are writing today to ask the local cricketing community to come together to help save their local village club. Those that will have sat at the heart of their local communities for many years.

It would make sense for smaller clubs to partner with larger clubs who may have an excess of players, whether old heads or young bucks. By working together, we can ensure that as many of those who wish to play cricket on a Saturday can get a game. We needed half a dozen extra players last weekend to fill our 2 sides, could we not ‘borrow’ those who aren’t being picked? We would provide a safe and friendly environment to offer the chance to participate.

If you are a larger club, can you help your local, village side?

The aim of this letter is not to criticise anyone but to act as a rallying cry to work together to save a game we all love. Recreational cricket has been a source of pleasure for an enormous number of people, and we want to continue to offer this opportunity. Our fear is that if we don’t act cricket will slowly die out at this level.

If you can help us or others, we would be delighted to have a conversation. Do contact Ben Wilson on 07852 916 901 or ben.wilson@cause4.co.uk.

Yours,

Facing the Financial Storm

All clubs are facing a new challenge to their existence, the cost of living crisis.

How are they coping? This article was written by Richard Edwards for the Club Cricket Conference. We are grateful for their permission to share it.

No-one involved in club cricket needs reminding just how tough the last few years have been for the recreational game in this country. The pandemic posed perhaps the greatest threat the sport has had to face.

Then, just as clubs scrambled to their feet, the cost of living crisis came along and bowled them over again.

With the 2023 season upon us, the Club Cricket Conference newsletter went in search of clubs who have found themselves in the eye of this financial storm - clubs who have suddenly found themselves attempting to manage soaring costs as inflation hit double-digits. Despite the government’s intervention, utility bill prices – which in many cases have doubled in just six months - have also placed enormous pressure on clubs

that could be forgiven for feeling weary from the battles they’ve had to fight since 2020.

The club cricket community, though, is a hardy one. And as we found through our many discussions in recent weeks, there’s an up and at ‘em mentality, and a determination to see every challenge as an opportunity.

Yes, there might be some clubs who are unable to ride out another storm – but there are plenty who are prepared to do just that, and, to their eternal credit, also offer help and advice to those who need it most.

“I think one of the key things we learnt through Covid, a very difficult period, was the need to communicate with other clubs,” says Gareth White, chairman and former captain of Cockermouth Cricket Club, former home of England skipper, Ben Stokes.

Cont'd....

“I think that’s generally something that cricket clubs have got much better at - sharing best practice and ensuring that, when cricket clubs need help, they don’t feel like they’re on their own.”

In purely practical terms, the surge in inflation from just 0.4% in February 2021 to a 41-year high of 11.1% in October 2022, has created the kind of cost pressures that no cricket club has had to face in a generation.

Whether it’s equipment for the upkeep of grounds and the maintenance of pitches, or the cost of beer, crisps and soft drinks from the bar, the impact has been dramatic. There is, though, a determination to ensure that spiralling costs are managed in a way which doesn’t place an extra burden on players, club members or those who come to the cricket ground to socialise.

Totteridge Millhillians Cricket Club of the Hertfordshire Cricket League are very much a community club, and one which opens its doors to the local public as readily in winter as summer. Like others they have been left feeling the pinch. But they’re intent on maintaining a positive outlook.

“Our utility bills have gone up by around £1000 a month,” says Club Secretary, Wyn Bowen. “The knock-on effect is that is we decided to retain the opening of bar between six and nine, or later if there was football on, but we’ve seen a decrease in footfall, whether that’s because of people tightening their belts, I’m not sure.

“We’re also seeing a 10 to 15% increase in wholesaler prices on bar goods and stock.

Plus things such as seed and so forth have risen hugely too. Generally, it’s quite apparent that things have gone up. I think the accounts for October 2023 show us in a slight loss-making position. For us, it’s a case of looking at how we get more social members and how we run more events in the pavilion. Those are central because it’s not easy just sticking membership and match fees up.

“Cricketers, we find, tend to look at what other clubs are charging, particularly in the second, third or fourth teams. Players will look around and see if it’s much cheaper to play in another side.”

No matter the financial strains placed on clubs, there is a clear intention not to 12

increase the financial burden on the paying public, or the players, going into the 2023 season. That’s not to say that clubs have their heads in the sand over the issue.

“We know that costs have gone up, everyone can see that – you only have to go into a supermarket to see the impact that inflation has had,” says White. “But we’ve always tried to ensure that we’re an affordable club for our senior and junior members in terms of our membership prices. We want to make cricket accessible to absolutely everyone.

What we definitely don’t want, is for anyone to think that they can’t afford to play.”

Cockermouth’s bar prices remain considerably lower than pubs in the town, which is largely the case in cricket clubs up and down the country. The club also take great pride in the fact that they were the first bar to re-open after the 2020 lockdown, opening up their outfield as perhaps Cumbria’s largest beer garden (below).

White also believes that leagues are being more flexible in order to maximise economic opportunity.

“Post-Covid, there has been a real change in the way that people think, there’s a lot more flexibility,” says White. “Providing you can agree with the other club to move fixtures, then you can switch them to a Friday night to try and attract as many people to the club as possible.”

That’s just one example of the way that leagues are now working with their clubs. It’s a similar story down the M6 in Lancashire.

“I think clubs in our league have traditionally tried to keep costs for members as low as possible,” says Mike Bibby, the chairman of the Lancashire Cricket League. “Yes, money is tight for some at the moment but I think that, generally, those additional costs that

clubs are incurring aren’t being reflected in the amounts that people are being asked to pay.

“A lot of our clubs will open during the week (in winter) when there’s a big football match on, they’ve all got big screens and it’s a great way of them encouraging people to use the club’s facilities. The costs have gone up dramatically but, at the moment at least, no clubs seem to be in financial trouble.”

The picture away from English cricket’s top leagues, however, is, as Bibby concedes, likely to be far more concerning.

“You have to be sympathetic to a lot of village clubs or clubs in rural areas – they must be struggling and there must be an obvious danger of some going out of business entirely,” he says.

“On a practical level, if these high prices continue, and if you’re paying increasing amounts on energy, then a lot of clubs will be looking at whether they can afford a professional, or recruit an overseas player.”

Every club in the Lancashire League has a professional for this season, but a fair number have decided against bringing in a player from outside the UK for 2023 and potentially beyond. Part of the reason for that could be related to the visa issues experienced last summer – with Home Office delays causing some to abandon their recruitment plans – but cost is undoubtedly the over-riding factor.

“At least if you’re paying a local or an English pro, you’re not paying travelling, accommodation for the season or flights here in the first place,” says Bibby.

Of course, further down the pyramid, these aren’t even considerations. But, regardless of a club’s standing or size, Simon Prodger, managing director at the National Cricket Conference, believes the most important factor is having visibility into the situation each individual club faces.

“Clubs need to be proactive,” he says.

“Clubs need to identify what needs to be done. At my own club (Watford Town) we’ve had a root and branch look at what we can do. We're not financially stretched but if we have a whole season where our costs are out-stripping our returns then that will impact our figures. We’re very cheap when it comes to the cost of our beer, so we may need

to play a bit of catch-up when it comes to increasing the price on our pumps.

“We have a very good and active bar at the moment. For the sake of our members we would like to continue to offer that kind of cost difference (between the club and the pub) but every step of the way, our costs are increasing. We have to be prudent and, as a result of inflation, we should really be adding 10% onto our prices.”

On the field, there’s also a sense that uncertainty lurks around every corner going into the new season.

“We’ve already had some clubs tell us that they’re going to be unable to field the same number of teams that they did in 2022,” says Prodger (below, left, with Mark Stear).

“Putting up prices and putting up match fees or subscriptions is going to do nothing to address that problem.

It becomes a perfect storm. You try and balance the books and do what’s necessary – but by doing that you’re passing the costs down to your membership and if you’re membership can’t afford them you suddenly find that you go from three teams on a Saturday to two. Then you’re not generating the amount of income you would with three teams.

“It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy that things get tougher. Clubs need to get on the front foot.”

Help is at hand The pandemic saw the ECB almost take on the role of a central bank for the recreational game, providing loans and grants that helped clubs weather the most testingw financial environment in the sport’s history.

Now, almost three years on, help is still available for those clubs which need it.

Grants are available of up to £10,000 to create welcome environments and enhance facilities for playing, particularly for women, girls and disability cricket. The ECB also wants to help clubs to invest in energy saving technology and there is an interest free loan scheme for clubs.

Kyran castles Cook When 15-year-old Kyran Shackleton recorded figures of 5 for 13 off 7 overs, in the season’s first league game, for Potton Town against Totteridge Millhillians II in division 3A, he thought he might have a fruitful few weeks ahead of him. Little did he know how quickly it would become memorable.

Just two weeks later he rocked up for a Monday night match which saw Potton taking on Bedfordshire Farmers. Among the Farmers team was a certain Sir Alastair Cook, England’s highest ever run-scorer (12,472) in Test matches.

Cook has tried to play at least one match for the Farmers, every year.

Cook had stroked his way to 20 off 14 balls when Kyran started his third over.

It was time for a strategy. He told the Daily Telegraph, no less, “I knew if I bowled at his pads, he’d find a way to clip it. So I decided to try to get a line where a fourth stump might be. The light wasn’t that great and I think it caught him off guard. Next thing I know, he’s clean bowled.”

Cook had tried to swing the young seam bowler to the leg-side and his middle stump was knocked back.

Kyran said that Sir Alastair was brilliant with everyone after the game, buying everyone drinks until about ten.

Kyran wasn’t there to the end, however, with school exams all that week for which he hadn’t done enough revision!

Kyran finished the match with figures of 4-37 but that one scalp, caught on camera (picture below) and soon going viral on Twitter, caught the imagination.

The BBC, Talk Sport, ITV and a host of newspapers, were soon carrying the story. It was his 15 minutes of fame.

Kyran ended the season with 22 league wickets, (41 in all Potton games). One of the Potton Town seniors told us “Kyran is a really nice, genuine and enthusiastic player who loves his cricket. Definitely one for the future.”

Two clubs. Four retirements.

We pay tribute to four stalwarts of their clubs who retired from club cricket in 2022. Ted Levey & Danny Wilson at Sawbridgeworth and Jerry Dovey & Jeremy Gillham at Letchworth.

Danny Wilson

Another retirement being marked by Sawbo is that of Danny Wilson, who has been at the heart of the first team since the late 90s and a tremendous servant to the club. Danny holds the club’s record for most league runs in a season, with 949, in 2011. He captained the first team for seven years and was instrumental in Sawbridgeworth competing at the highest level of Herts League cricket for over a decade.

Letchworth legends

The end of the 2022 season saw the retirement, as players, of two genuine legends of Letchworth Garden City Jerry Dovey and Jeremy Gillham.

Jerry Dovey joined Letchworth from Barnet in 1985, going into a very strong 1st XI at the time. He finished his Saturday league career in 2022 with a typically stylish 43* in the 4th XI, having played over 600 games for the club in a number of different competitions and teams. A fine middle order batsman, Jerry scored over 700 league runs in a season three times since 2000, showing that his class was always permanent.

However it was as an astute and positive captain that Jerry is often remembered

best. He loved an aggressive declaration but his fierce determination meant he would never throw away a draw.

Jerry will continue to play for Hertfordshire Over 60s a l o n g s i d e his umpiring and Grounds Association work.

He recently umpired with his wife Rose (a former Sri-Lankan international cricketer) in the Herts League (see photo above) Jeremy Gillham retired after a staggering 57 year career at Letchworth, which began in 1965. His affiliation with the club goes back even further, joining in 1960 as a junior. Jerry went on to play over 800 games for the club and captained the 5th XI with great distinction from 2000. Jeremy was a fine wicket-keeper and talented batsmen, enjoying a spell opening the batting in the 1st XI and scoring a large number of runs across all teams. The final century of an illustrious career came in the 5th XI against Ware 2nd XI back in 2013, a typically classy 108*.

In 2021, he was blessed enough to enjoy a fantastic day playing with his son Tom and grandson Henry in the same 5th XI, where Tom scored an unbeaten 50 and Henry opened the bowling aged 13. (see picture) Jerry will continue to coach at the club and remains Chairman of Selectors.

This long association is far from over yet.

Our international reach

Overseas players have been guests at Herts League clubs for decades. Most come from the established cricket playing countries but, last season, a new international link was created (unless you know differently) with a Brazilian playing for Frogmore. And he played alongside a Peruvian!

Players from Afghanistan are more likely but Hoddesdon broke new ground by inviting a refugee from that country to develop his love of cricket, after arriving in this country.

These two stories demonstrate the international reach of our league and the good work being done by many of our clubs. of it. In 2012, when Brazil started their From Rio to Frogmore first ever cricket team, he watched a few Frogmore hadn’t planned on having games in the first year, decided to get an overseas player for the 2022 involved and hasn’t looked back. season, but finished up with two, both ex-international cricketers. However, To develop his love for the sport, Felipe neither can be said to fit the normal decided to take a sabbatical from work pattern of aspiring youngsters for the last year, travelling to England with the main Test playing countries. Felipe Lima aim of taking in as much knowledge of de Melo is from Brazil and George English cricket which he could take back to Brazil to help in developing the sport Glynn is from Peru. there.

The contact between Frogmore and Felipe was work colleague of the club’s Safeguarding Officer, Jack Massey.

That colleague was Peruvian – George Glynn, who, like Felipe, has represented his country in T20 matches. Luckily George has a British passport, hence Frogmore found themselves with two internationals, last season, playing in division 5A! Jack says that Felipe was inspiring to watch. “He’s an off spinner who truly loves the game. He is so positive all the time, gets everyone going and soon picked up his first wickets ever on a grass pitch (they’re all Astro in Brazil).

He finished the season with a haul of 26 wickets.

Felipe’s story is heart-warming. It started “Every contribution he makes to the in 2009, when, struggling with insomnia, club means everything to him and in the TV was his salvation. As a sports less than two months he became a lover who had fallen out of love with foundation of the club. Frogmore have football, he found himself watching been struggling with availability but his India/Sri Lanka Test cricket and instantly passion has encouraged some older fell in love with it. He was attracted to the club members to play a few more games ‘chess’ of the game and the sound of the and we have been getting by, thanks to ball on the bat. He couldn’t get enough Felipe.”

Refugee finds a new home In April 2022, Hoddesdon were contacted, via their social media outlets, by the UK Refugee Council about cricket-loving Wasil, a teenage Afghan refugee. Wasil was seeking asylum while living in a refugee hostel in Hoddesdon and was keen to play cricket again.

raise contributions to fund a weekly halal food delivery to Wasil and to provide cricket kit and equipment. The club also arranged for weekly 1-1 English lessons, to supplement Wasil’s college course.

Hoddesdon Chairman, Ian Munday said: “As soon as the UK Refugee Council contacted us, we were keen to find out how we could help. We met Wasil a week later when he was brought to the club by his mentor and translator and despite not even having basic English, we were able to communicate in the language of sport.”

Ian continued: “Wasil has an amazing story, having had to flee his home country, leaving behind his family and friends, which was unbelievably brave for a teenager. He ended up living in a hostel with strangers, in a country where he did not speak the language or know anybody else.

"Our initial aim was to ensure that Wasil knew that the club was a welcoming and friendly environment and to make him feel at home. As soon as he joined in one of our practice sessions, you could see he had played before and to see the joy on his face was an emotional moment.

“Wasil returned the following week to watch and when the paperwork was sorted, he was able to play. The younger members of the club viewed Wasil as a hero and he was, in turn, happy to assist younger team members with their technique.”

After a few weeks, the club was pleased with the efforts that had been made to make Wasil feel a part of the club but there was also the knowledge that there was more that could be done.

Club members Antony Higgs and Guy Lipyeat then took it on themselves to

Hoddesdon Chairman, Ian Munday, presents Wasil with his club shirt

Over the course of the season, Wasil grew in confidence and on a memorable night he brought a couple of newly found Afghan friends to a club music evening, where they demonstrated their skills in Afghan dancing.

Ian Munday feels that Wasil’s experience demonstrated how Hoddesdon takes its social responsibility very seriously, as a community club. He said: “We believe that cricket is for everyone and we welcome all players and social members from across our diverse community.

"I would encourage all clubs to reach out to the UK Refugee Council and to offer your support. Our great sport can make a real difference to someone’s life and it is not often that cricket clubs have these opportunities to make such a difference” 19

Hertfordshire Grounds Association 2022 The Hertfordshire Grounds Association supports all cricket facility providers in Herts where necessary, with a broad range of member benefits.

The past year has seen a change to the Ground Management Association’s Pitch Advisory Service (PAS). For the first time, two cricket-only Regional Pitch Advisors (RPAs) have been created. One covering the North and Midlands and one covering the South.

They are fully committed to supporting cricket grounds management across the recreational game. We are lucky that Phil Jeggo has been appointed the RPA for the South. We have a very good relationship with Phil and he is easily accessible to us, being based in Essex.

The Grounds Management Association have a partnership with the ECB which is working well.

The GMA and ECB have been working in together to support the development of the Pitchpower Multisport App, which is launching in 2023. This includes technical expertise that can be accessed by grounds managers in cricket. Meanwhile the team has been improving guidance for ground managers and adding content to the GMA toolkit.

The GMA also engages with the County Pitch Advisors and has held three seminars this year.

Jerry Dovey continues as the Hertfordshire County Pitch Advisor and has continued to offer excellent and crucial support and advice on squares and outfields to numerous clubs over the past 12 months.

The Association has continued to deal with the residual effects of Covid on grounds which had often been left for months without ground maintenance staff. By the beginning of 2022 most grounds had their staff back and progress has been made.

The drought in 2022 is likely to have affected cricket grounds throughout the county, especially if we do not receive sufficient rainfall over the winter months. Most outfields will recover once the dry weather has passed, but there are some exceptions to this in shallow rooted and thatch dominated outfields. Going forwards, outfields, particularly those that support winter sports and especially those on heavy clay soils may well suffer without proper renovation. Many clubs will need deep vertical aeration on the outfield both post and pre-season and possibly the application of wetting agents. Some will need reseeding with perennial ryegrass. The Pitch Advisor can give advice on this.

The Summer has also highlighted a few areas that we already know about, but it took the weather for them to come to fruition. One 20

club was suspended from the League as their pitch was deemed dangerous by the umpires and their lower division X1s also had to cease playing. The Association, in particular Jerry Dovey, has been advising the club and remedial work has now been carried out, it is hoped that it will sustain league cricket in 2023. Another club had their 3rd X1 match abandoned. A third club’s 3rd X1 and 4th X1 had to find an alternative ground to play on.

Some clubs are also in danger of losing their grounds altogether.

In general, lack of irrigation or the inability to irrigate along with lack of experience in dealing with these conditions have led to difficulties for clubs without employed staff. This summer may be a ‘one off’, but experts tend to think that drier conditions will become the norm in the future. Therefore, new projects will need to factor in irrigation as a priority. Meanwhile the Association will endeavour to help as many clubs as possible.

The Association reinstated the annual Derek Dredge Award for quality of ground which had been put on hold due to Covid. In 2021 the recipient was John Smith of Rickmansworth CC, who was presented with the award in 2022.

This award is sponsored by the Hertfordshire Cricket Grounds Association and by A.T.Bone, who renovate the winner’s square free of charge.

The Dennis/Sisis seminar was also reinstated at St Albans School in February 2023. The event covered “Cricket Pitch Maintenance in a changing environment”. The event was very successful, there were over 200 attendees and the topics covered were: Likely changes in weather and their impact on sports grounds.

Reducing the impact of Water Restrictions on Sports Surfaces. Root Zones for a Changing Climate. Pests and Diseases of the future and sustainability for grass roots Clubs. Interesting talks were also given by Karl McDermott (MCC, Lords) and Vic Demain (Durham CCC) The Association’s Committee consists of: Chris Wood (President) Richard Robertson (Chairman) Peter Wholley (Secretary) Jerry Dovey (Hertfordshire Pitch Advisor) Phil Jeggo (Regional Pitch Advisor Cricket - South of England) Sam Rose (Cricket East) Ian Smith (St Albans School) Rob Kendle (ATBone) Dominic Chatfield (Hertfordshire Cricket Club & Community Manager) Geoff Swinden (Pitch Advisor).

Facilities Update Last year, the writer attempted to try and update our facilities reporting. In the past, clubs had been fined for not reporting and no real thought was given by many captains to the marks they gave, which limited the effectiveness of the scheme.

The other thing was the reporting in every division, which meant around 140 games a week, every week - a logistical nightmare for a volunteer co-ordinator. With the sheer workload it was purely a marks exercise, with no time to follow through with the queries that arose.

So, instead of a monetary fine, the writer decided to try and make things a little more meaningful, including marking only down as far as Division 6B, which covers most club grounds. A points fine was introduced if marks weren’t in by a Wednesday night at 10pm. The workload has become manageable.

Reporting by clubs is now far more consistent in coming in and even with time constraints, better and more accurate results are produced I’ve had more time to scrutinise marks that weren’t great and give warnings or advice and hopefully heeded.

The website worked its magic and with most reports done on time and fairly.

There were still marks where a team low down in the pyramid expected test match facilities; or teams chasing 260, lose by 150 and mark the pitch as poor, which is unfair. In the main, these weren’t the norm.

At the captains meeting, when the new ideas were floated, captains and clubs were advised if facilities were poor, they could contact the writer and quote chapter and verse. There were a handful of reports sent through, although one occasion where it did happen, some three weeks from the end of the summer, the team were given a plan of action and it was taken on board and cricket was safely fulfilled for the rest of that campaign.

There was an instance where a game was abandoned last year due to the pitch. The club concerned were kept advised of what actions had to be taken. A pitch inspection

by the League’s expert was carried out within a week and sadly, it saw the pitch and surrounds condemned until a good bill of health was given. In its down time, the club came together, folk worked hard and after an inspection in October it was given a clean bill of health.

We are incredibly lucky that facilities are as good as they are. Groundsmen/Curators work tirelessly to provide surfaces that often see cricket played on their grounds nigh on every night of the week, if clubs have vibrant junior sections.

These people should be treasured rather crticised by batters or bowlers for a slow pitch, after they’ve bowled a pile of filth on it or smashed a long hop straight to mid-wicket. Most do it for the love or for buttons and only now are clubs starting to find out the real cost of ground work, with many retiring or move away from their toils.

The ECB should also have a long hard look at themselves as well. They expect clubs at the top of the pyramid to provide rock hard surfaces, with top marks only being awarded if team A gets 330 for 2 and team B finishes 290 for 3!

Ask any club cricketer and they wouldn’t get out of bed for that bore fest.

Look at the world cup final at Lord’s in 2019. It was played on a low slow pitch and created one of the best games of cricket ever. Had that have been a league game, a club would probably have been reported for it.

The ECB also have to support grass roots cricket more. Premier League clubs are getting 50% less than they were getting 19 years ago while, at the same time, executive pay-offs are getting bigger. With the ECB wanting more and more from clubs and leagues, they should be held accountable and pay up and look big, rather than throw crumbs for those who in the main are volunteers and do amazing things for their clubs and communities.

Anyhow, roll on the warm weather and hope your clubs make folk welcome and cricket is the winner on and off the field.

Obituaries Rickmansworth mourn stalwarts

Rickmansworth lost three stalwarts of the club during 2022. Firstly, Rory Cusack (pictured) was just 31 when he passed away before the start of the season, much before his time. He played 118 times for the club and scored almost 1,000 runs, often keeping wicket. His brother Callum played in a few games in memory of him during the remainder of the season.

In May the club then lost club legend Marc ‘Curly’ Robinson to Cancer at the age of 46.

The 3rd highest club wicket-taker with 490 wickets and also the little matter of 4,003 runs, Curly (front tow, left, in team photo) was well known to all the local clubs and was a focal point for any visitors as he also ran the bar. No doubt with plenty of years still in him, he would have gone on to set new bowling records. Just three months later, Marc’s uncle, Keith Robinson, also passed away. Known affectionately as ‘The Colonel’, Keith (umpire on back row, in team photo) played over 400 games for Rickmansworth from the 1970s to the 2000s and then joined the umpires panel giving back to the game he loved. It was Keith who had first brought his young nephew, Marc, to the club 30 years ago. A very sad season for the club.

Bob Akers

Robert (Bob) Akers, Chairman of Holtwhites Trinibis, passed away, peacefully, in December 2022 aged 82.

Bob was an extremely capable, knowledgeable, kind, and generous man, who was such great fun to be with. Through his multiple endeavours, Bob had a positive impact on so 22

many people’s lives. This was evidenced through the very large attendance at the funeral, and also the volume of condolences sent to his family and his partner Christine.

A talented sportsman and musician from a young age, Bob played cricket for Cheshunt Grammar School and was also coached at the Alf Gover Cricket School.

His cricket club journey took him from Gothic CC, to the merger with GNAA (Great Northern Athletic Association) in the 1960s. This became BRSA Enfield (British Rail Sports Association) in the 1970s, was renamed Holtwhites CC in the mid 1990s, and became Holtwhites Trinibis CC (HTCC) through the merger a few years after that.

Alongside this, Bob also helped arrange midweek matches and played for Cheshunt Thursday CC. On the cricket field Bob was a complete allrounder, capable of winning games with both bat and ball, and snaffling most of what came his way at 2nd slip.

Calculating his worth to the team was never just about his numbers, although he did score over 11,000 runs and took over 400 wickets. He had the bottle to face the fastest of bowlers with the best of defensive techniques, taught in the traditional way by Jack Robertson, the Middlesex and England opening bat.

Off the field Bob has been the 1st team umpire and scorer, a junior team manager, coach, junior section administrator and chairman. As cricket chairman for multiple decades, Bob was pivotal during the transition from BRSA to HTCC, and also the redevelopment of the cricket facilities in the early 2000s. In parallel, Bob was Secretary of the Holtwhites Sports and Social Club right up until his passing.

Over the last 20 years Bob did a magnificent job as HTCC Junior Section Administrator. Bob created a platform upon which hundreds of boys and girls have been introduced to the game of cricket and the club’s junior teams now play in all age groups of the Middlesex Juniors league.

Bob was very much a member of that special group of people who build things that persist, a legacy for others to enjoy.

For the many of us that knew him, we were all so fortunate to have done so. Bob will be much missed, and we shall always have the wonderful memories of our time with him.

Kevin Burgess, Head Coach, HTCC

Peter Ellis

The minute’s silence that was held in Peter Ellis’ memory before all of St Margaretsbury’s four games on Saturday June 18, 2022, reflected a profound respect. People who knew him were aware of what he gave to the club in more than 50 years association. It was also right and proper that the teams were joined by Lilian, to whom he was married for more than 62 years, as well as his son Richard, and grandson Jack.

Peter was born in Lewisham, Kent in September 1932. And after the war attended Marylebone Grammar School but it would be fair to say that sport sparked his attention more than the classroom. Wanting to get involved in cricket after showing promise as a fast bowler at school, Peter wrote to Lord’s and got a trial. He was taken on in the Lord’s ground staff where he spent several years in and around his National Service with the RAF. He also played for Middlesex 2nd X1 as well making one appearance for the MCC against Cambridge University in 1953. His club cricket started in the Scottish leagues, then he returned south to work at Haileybury

College where he made his mark as a squash, rackets and cricket professional, for 32 years. Wisden Cricketer Almanacks from the mid-1960s to mid-1990s testify to his position as the cricket professional. In and around his school coaching, he would run a sports shop as well as stringing rackets for sports shops or for people directly as well as coaching at Hoddesdon Squash Club. Peter joined St Margaretsbury in the late 1960s and will be remembered by older members for his playing ability and was fondly known as the ‘Pro’. A highlight was being a member of the 1985 side that won division one of the Herts League and he was good enough to appear for the first team after turning 60. He captained the Sundays 1sts in the mid-1980s before later skippering the Sunday 2nds. After stopping playing after 2006, Peter continued to take an interest in local cricket and was also well known at Hertford CC and Hoddesdon. His son Richard played for the club prior to and after his spell in professional cricket while his grandson Jack is now a club regular after playing for the club in his teenage years.

David Rimmer

Dave Humphreys

Letchworth have been mourning the passing of Dave Humphreys after a battle against illness. Dave was a titan of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire cricket, joining Letchworth towards the end of his career in 2011 and scoring 1580 runs in his 95 innings. An eccentric player, his only Letchworth ton came in a run chase at the conclusion of which he ran straight off the pitch and into his car to drive to an ACDC concert.

That was Dave to a tee, a man who lived life to the full but who always remained committed the sport he so dearly loved.

RIP, Humph.

David Frederick Gandy

The 2022 season on the field brought considerable success for North Enfield CC, but tinged with great sadness at the passing of Dave Gandy, known to many as ‘Goosey’.

Dave was born in north London and grew up in Woodside Park and played for Friern Manor in his early days before joining North Enfield in the late 1960s. Dave shared some memories of cricket at that time with a few members over the years; matches started at 2 or 2:30pm because a lot of people worked on a Saturdays.

The timed format meant bowlers were unlimited in their overs, and often bowled 15 or sometimes 20 overs a game. Sunday cricket was often the stronger standard.

Many people would play both days, and sometimes even three games a weekend on Bank Holidays. Games were always followed by a few pints to ‘drink the fixture back’. These arrangements seem to have suited Dave very well…

Over the course of his NECC career, Dave took a club record 1,857 wickets - there are some gaps in the records so it would not be a surprise if his career total exceeded 2,000. In the 1971 season, he took 114 wickets. With the bat, he scored 10,734 runs including two centuries. Those who remember Dave's batting in his prime recall 24

most of the runs were scored quickly and in the general leg side area – a style handed down to the next two Gandy generations!

Dave featured regularly on the NECC honours boards, winning the 1st XI bowling averages no fewer than 10 times and doing the double with the batting in 1972, and the 2nd XI bowling seven times, most recently in 2005. He donated a bowling award for the NECC player recording the best analysis in a league match. He was a Life Member of North Enfield.

When he reluctantly finished playing he turned to umpiring, which provided him with further opportunities to spend time on the field with his son Steve, and latterly watching games from the boundary (including seeing his grandchildren play), with no shortage of opinions! On the news of his passing, NECC received numerous kind messages for Dave’s family including from our near neighbours Holtwhites Trinibis (ex-BRSA) and Botany Bay, clubs that Dave had particularly long associations with. He will be missed enormously by his family, and by the cricket community.

Brian Goldup

Brian Goldup, who died on 3rd January at the age of 85, was an Honorary Vice President of West Herts CC and a stalwart of the club. A larger-than-life character with a fearless have-a-go approach, he put together a happy and successful 3rd XI, captaining them through the 1980s, including leading them to the inaugural Herts League 3rd XI Championship in 1982. He was also a keen member of the Forty Club, for many years hosting a table of local cricketers at the annual dinner held in the Park Lane London Hilton Hotel.

Hertfordshire Cricket - leading, influencing and inspiring

Hertfordshire Cricket Limited's (HCL) collective vision is to lead and influence the development of the game, while inspiring everyone to take part and grow cricket, in an accessible and inclusive way. Affiliated to the ECB, HCL’s goal is to support the sustainable future of cricket by increasing the opportunities and enhancing the experience of everyone involved in the game across Hertfordshire.

Cricket clubs in Hertfordshire are the heartbeat of the game so HCL is dedicated to supporting these clubs.

Paid player/coach

A survey of clubs in 2020 showed that a large majority is strongly in favour of keeping the existing rule prohibiting payment of any player (in divisions below the Championship). The problem, mentioned in the survey itself, is enforcement. The League Executive Committee took that survey outcome as a signal to beef up its ability to enforce compliance. The result is a new form which requires the Chairs of all clubs to sign, to confirm that their club will adhere to the rule. In addition, clubs wishing to register player/coaches will have to supply copies of their coaching contracts with the club and other information.

The form requires Chairs to confirm the following: The club will abide by ALL of Saracens Hertfordshire Premier Cricket League rules and codes of conduct and Disciplinary Regulations and in particular with reference to constitution 13 b) detailed below, I will ensure that the above club abides by this rule .

Constitution 13b) ‘No player shall receive any payment or payment in kind whether from the club or anyone associated with the club for playing for the club in Division one or below.

Friendly League The Friendly League is an initiative designed to enable teams, where availability allows, to play some weeks but not others, to let players play some cricket.

Teams can join the league at any point in the season, by emailing: gamewanted@hertsleague.co.uk.

A WhatsApp group has been set up too, to speed up the exchange of information.

A fixture can be arranged at any point by: • Emailing gamewanted@hertsleague.co.uk to place an advert on the league website • Contacting other teams via email/mobile from a spreadsheet supplied to all participating teams • Messaging within the WhatsApp group The format of matches is flexible and up to the clubs or team captains to agree prior to start of the match.

There is no compulsion for any two teams to play each other home and away, as a team may not have a home pitch.

In order to win the division, a minimum of six games must be played by that team through the league season. The best average points per match from the teams qualifying wins the division.

Full details, explaining the operation of the friendly league, can be downloaded from the web site at:

Development League 2023 The concept of the Development League is to encourage juniors, who do not necessarily play league cricket for their clubs on a Saturday, to start out on the pathway to playing senior cricket. There will be no cups or prize money, rather the idea is to make the league as allinclusive as possible, making it fun for youngsters to join adults in a 30/35-over game on a Sunday afternoon. Clubs can agree amongst themselves the length of their game. Please remember the longer the game, the harder it will be on the juniors for whom this format is being aimed.

Games will be played in July/August, (after school and the main Herts Junior Leagues have finished). It is hoped that each club will have 3-4 games minimum but they are free to arrange more if they have the players and pitch availability.

When arranging fixtures, or closer to the time of a game, please check on the strength of your opposition, to avoid mis-matches in line with the objectives of this league.

Organiser: George White Tel: 07968 349933. E-mail: whiteg27@hotmail.com The match rules for the Development League are pubished on the League web site at: www.hertsleague.co.uk/documents/handbook/shpcldevelopmentleaguematchrules2023.pdf 53

Umpire & Scorer Registration Process 2023

Background

Every club with a team playing in the Premier Division, Championship and Divisions 1 to 6b is required to register with the League every Umpire that it considers to be attached to the club whether that umpire has been supplied to the League Umpires Panel or will be standing in a match below Division 2b Scorers officiating in matches in the Premier Division, Championship and Divisions 1 to 2b must either be qualified at ECB ACO Club Scorer Level or have obtained dispensation from this requirement from the League.

Procedure

The registration of umpires & scorers follows the same process as that used to register players.

Within the Registration area of the League website you will be able to enter the name of each umpire and scorer attached to your club. For each umpire and scorer so registered you will be asked to indicate which category is applicable, as follows: Category Panel Qualified Dispensation granted

Club Umpire/Scorer

Description An umpire listed on the SHPCL Umpires’ Panel An umpire/scorer who is a member of the ECB Association of Cricket Officials and has completed both Stage 1 and Stage 2 courses or their equivalents.

An umpire/scorer who has received dispensation from the League on the grounds that he/she is a long-standing experienced umpire or scorer. A League sub-committee will review and agree any dispensation on this basis.

Dispensation is granted annually and does not carry over to subsequent seasons Any other umpire/scorer which the club expects to use to cover absence of a qualified umpire/scorer, or one who has been granted dispensation, due to illness, injury or holiday

Request for Umpire or Scorer Dispensation

A club seeking to obtain dispensation is required to complete the form ‘Request for Umpire Dispensation’ or ‘Request for Scorer Dispensation’ for each umpire or scorer for whom dispensation is being sought. The forms are available for download on the League website.

The completed form should be sent by email to: Umpires: Anthony.d.levy@btinternet.com Scorers: hilary.stiffin@ntlworld.com Please provide the details requested on the form, particularly concerning cricket, umpiring and scoring experience as applicable. We are looking for sufficient evidence of competence to allow an umpire to stand or a scorer to score despite not having attended a course and passed the examination. The expectation is that any person for whom dispensation is sought will have an adequate level of experience and have a current cricket specific ECB DBS certificate obtained through cricket or an application in progress.

The objective of the match rule is to raise the standards of officiating and is not intended to prevent competent umpires and scorers from continuing to support their club. Attendance on a course without passing the exam will be regarded as adequate grounds for dispensation.

Please note that dispensation is granted only for the current season. The objective remains to raise standards by requiring umpires and scorers to attend a course and further opportunities to achieve this will be provided during the winter, including one or more weekend courses in addition to the evening ones.

Disciplinary Procedures

The following sets out a summary of the Disciplinary Procedures that were first adopted by the SHPCL in 2022. The League has adopted the ECB’s General Conduct Regulations, with some minor modifications. Details can be found on the League website, but apart from the process set out below, of which all participants should be aware, are that participants now include spectators, as well EDI, (Equality, Discrimination and Inclusiveness).

In terms of the procedures, where an incident is to be reported, notification of such should be submitted to the Disciplinary Chair, George White, by text, (07968 349933), the evening the incident took place. The text should set out the level of the offence, (L1, L2, L3 or L4), the division, player, club name, a BRIEF sentence about the offense and the name of the person sending the text. The participant, (panel or non-playing umpire, captain, player or spectator), should then submit a report, (using the relevant Discipline form found on the League website), not later than 72 hours after the incident took place. The report should outline the incident only and deal with the facts.

Upon receipt of a Level 1/Level 2 report, the Discipline Chair will forward same to the participants club for their comment, which MUST be responded within 72 hours. The League would prefer Clubs reprimand offending participant themselves, advising the Discipline Chair as to their determination within this 72-hour period. Where the reprimand is deemed appropriate by the Discipline Chair, this will be posted on the Discipline Action Update and the matter, subject to the determined penalty being served, shall be considered closed. The participant submitting the report shall also be advised as to the outcome by email.

Should the Club not respond in a timely manner, (as in within the 72-hour time period above), or where the Discipline Chair deems the Club’s action(s) inappropriate, the Discipline Chair will, in the first instance reach out to the Club concerned to discuss the incident and a more acceptable outcome.

If a suitable outcome cannot be reached, the Discipline Chair shall anonymise the Discipline Report, circulating same, plus any mitigating submissions submitted to the Discipline Chair, to a panel of at least 5 unrelated, (to the club or individual(s) concerned), for their feedback.

These individuals will comprise a mix of panel umpires, club chairmen, secretaries, captains, coaches/directors of cricket and players. The Discipline Chair shall average out these responses to determine a penalty, which shall then be communicated to the Club concerned.

The relevant Club or respondent can either accept this determination, (in which case the matter shall be deemed closed once any adjudication has been served), or will have the right to appeal the findings of the above panel. Such an appeal must be submitted with 72-hours of the determination having been issued, with the appeal itself convened within 14 days.

Details as to the process for such an appeal can be found on the League website. A payment of £250 must be remitted to the League within 72 hours of an appeal being requested.

Please note however, if the club/respondent loses such an appeal, there is a good chance original determination will be doubled.

All Level 3/Level 4 incidents will automatically result in a hearing, (and appeal if necessary).

Level 3/Level 4 hearings shall be convened within 14 days of the relevant report being received by the Discipline Chair, however, unlike Level 1/Level 2 citations, the respondent shall be suspended with immediate effect of the Level 3/Level 4 incidents having been reported to the Discipline Chair and the Club in turn having been advised of such by email by the Discipline Chair.

Secretary's Report 2022

As delivered to the AGM, February 2023

I began last year’s report by hoping for a normal season in 2022 after the ‘Covid years’. We hoped that there would be no recurrence of the virus and no Covid cancellations so that our hankering for bygone days would be rewarded by cricket as we knew it. Well, to an extent that was the case but things are not always normal and we have to adapt. Primarily we had to adapt to the hottest and driest summer since the fabled 1976 season. Outfields resembled the desert scenes from the opening credits of Better Call Saul as the temperature hit an unprecedented 40 degrees, pitches required enough water to float a battleship and groundsmen had to contend with unique conditions. That they, mostly, managed was a testament to their resilience and commitment. More of that later.

We also had to, again for the first time I think, allow matches to start earlier or to be cancelled if, for health reasons, the match conditions might be too onerous for some. It will be interesting to see how some outfields recover for the coming season. Watering them during the drought would have been, for many clubs, either impossible or unaffordable.

Congratulations to the winners and those who achieved promotion. Commiserations to those going the other way, but always remember that a new season brings fresh hopes and enthusiasms.

There may be a problem looming about the quality of the grounds we play on. Generally, the standards at the top of the league are very good. The established clubs have the facilities, the equipment, the groundsmen and finance to do what is necessary to maintain their grounds even in the most trying of conditions.

That cannot always be said further down the structure. For the first time in my committee life, we had to suspend a team’s membership of the league due to the condition of their pitch. A match at Bushey in division 2a was abandoned by panel umpires because the pitch was dangerous. Both their first and second teams were withdrawn from their respective divisions and their third eleven was only allowed to play friendlies. This very difficult decision was taken by the committee as the facilities standards required by our constitution had not been met. The story has a happier outcome in that the club, with the help and advice of our pitch inspector, and the input of a local club’s groundsman undertook an extensive renovation of the square. Our committee’s inspection of the facility in October led to their re-admittance to the league albeit with a relegation. There is a more general point to this story and that is that many clubs rely on volunteer help to maintain their surfaces and that help is often from the older club members with time on their hands and enthusiasm to push them along. That may not always be so and there seems to be a lack of younger qualified groundsmen around that clubs can afford. The same problem exists in Council run grounds. Councils, starved of cash, Richard Bayliss’s report on the season in are less likely to want to employ experienced the handbook contains the details of what cricket groundsmen when the time and money happened on the pitch so I shall confine myself that they require can be more economically to recording the fact that Potters Bar won the used elsewhere in their grounds maintenance Premier division. Radlett, who they pipped by departments. Add to that, the fact that in my a whisker to that title, aided by some out of local area in the last ten years three established character wet weather, got their revenge in cricket grounds are no longer used for cricket the play-off final. The ‘Bar’ won the Premier and for 2023 two of our member clubs have T/20 and Old Owens replaced Hoddesdon in been thrown off their established grounds, so the Premier. The Sunday T/20 winners were you can see that there may be a problem in Watford Town and the plate Old Elizabethans. finding suitable facilities to stage league cricket 80

in the future. I cannot see any new cricket grounds appearing any time soon either. I offer no solutions to this problem save to remind clubs that they should never take for granted that their ground will be there for ever and you should do all that you can to preserve and maintain the standards of grounds that we have.

On that point we have also had to contact a few clubs who, in playing terms, are on the up. Our facilities requirements mandate that the higher a club rises up our structure the better its playing facilities need to be. We

An encouraging turn-out at the Dennis/Sisis seminar, at St Albans School, attended by around 200 groundsmen and organised by the Herts Grounds Ass'n; see page 19

have not always, in the past, given appropriate warnings that further progress may not be available if facilities do not match the level of cricket played. In the premier division the requirements come down to us from the ECB and are part of their requirements for receiving the grant money. Below that we rely on clause three of our constitution. Clubs will be reminded of this part of our rules. We cannot keep an eye on all of you all of the time so please acquaint (reacquaint) yourselves of that clause and strive to keep up with the standards required.

There are grant monies available from various bodies and organisations and details are available in the handbook and through County associations.

Last season also saw the most concessions we have ever had arising out of lack of player availability. After 2020 and 2021 most of us suspected that there would be a return to normality and players would champ at the bit to get back on the field. That wasn’t the case sadly and many teams failed to meet their playing obligations. Whether the lockdowns gave players an introduction to other forms of

leisure activity or whether cancelled weddings, stag do’s, delayed holidays or pop concerts interrupted the normal life of an amateur cricketer we cannot say but the evidence was plain to see. As a league we have an obligation to ensure that our clubs have regular weekend cricket and if some clubs overreach their playing capabilities their opponents suffer.

We took a number of teams out of the 2023 structure as a result and one or two clubs objected strongly to not being included. We hope to introduce a ‘Friendly’ division for 2023 to allow clubs, where availability allows teams to play some weeks but not others, to get cricket in and will seek to tighten our rules relating to removing sides when there are availability problems.

There may be another way of dealing with the problem of availability and that is the possibility of using Sundays for league matches. We allowed this in the regional structure during Covid restrictions and continued the policy in 2022. That not many clubs availed themselves of this option should not, I believe, close our eyes to its potential. We have become used to the fact that league cricket is played on Saturdays, it is true, but playing some matches on Sundays has the potential to tick a few boxes. Sunday cricket has died out for a lot of clubs over the last twenty or thirty years so playing the odd league match on a Sunday would help to increase use of grounds and push up income. It would also help potential players who have to work on Saturdays to enjoy the cut and thrust of league cricket. My earlier remarks about the problem of the lack of availability of suitable grounds on Saturdays could also be partly solved if established grounds were used for Sunday league matches. I accept that clubs often have to commit to regular payments for additional grounds on Saturdays and there are weather considerations, but I really do believe that flexibility is the key here. The committee will look at the possibilities going forward but it would help if clubs discussed this internally and offered suggestions. This is not unrelated to the campaign, launched last season by Ben Wilson of Bayford and Hertford Nondescripts CC, ‘Save Village Cricket’ . Their own problems with finding enough players are symptomatic of the problems many clubs faced last season and some of our committee met with Ben and Dominic Chatfield of the County Association to see if we could help. Their club’s problem 81

is mirrored by many of those who cancelled elsewhere in the league last season. We all have to look at the causes and, again, flexibility may be part of the answer. The type of game we play, the distances we have to travel to play that game and the amount of red tape with which all clubs now have to comply may prevent the ‘waverer’ from becoming involved.

A quiet life elsewhere may be preferable.

Two other problems reared their ugly heads last season. The first problem concerned the

question of discipline, or rather the lack of it, on the field and will be dealt with in a special article on the subject in the handbook. But I cannot let this report pass without referring to it here. I shall not name the people, or the clubs concerned because that is not the point. The point is that misbehaviour on the field should not be tolerated and whilst we might disagree over the level of that behaviour, we must all agree that seriously bad behaviour deserves a swift and commensurate action. Thirty-six pages of discipline rules at Premier level hit my in-box from the ECB before Christmas and another 11 pages for cricket at a lower level accompanied them. But whatever those rules say, nothing can excuse racism, threats of violence, drinking on the field and during play and the use of recreational drugs on or off the field. One player has been banned for two years and others will be if they transgress again. In addition, one club was demoted. All of this is unacceptable. It shouldn’t be beyond the wit of man to impose, within clubs, a code of conduct that prevents such things happening or if they do, to remove those players from membership.

I fully accept that a ban for a level one offence, for example, questioning an umpire’s eyesight or hearing, should not result in such action 82

but the offences mentioned above will not be tolerated. This is especially the case with racism. Last year I reported the issues raised

by Azeem Rafiq and those issues are still with us. The hearing into the matter is due to be held in the Spring, in public, but already its efficacy is likely to be questioned as four of those accused of racism are refusing to take part. Whilst that is not our league’s concern its implications are. Our committee have all had to take part in an ECB online training course in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. We all need to be aware of this elephant in our room and, as I said in 2021’s report, be mindful of the views of others in this area.

The second problem related to our policy of not allowing players to be paid for playing below the level of the championship. Again, I do not propose to name those involved, but it is the principle again that is important. Whilst we had ‘evidence’ that a particular player had received payment for playing, the club and the player denied it. We have no power to obtain bank statements, HMRC records nor take sworn statements from those involved nor can we demand the production of the brown paper bag. So, we were stuck. Proving transgression is difficult but the principle of the rule is still important, and should we ever be able to prove a breach of that rule we will not hesitate to take action which may include expelling the club from the league.

I realise that this report has descended into the realms of criticism and dismay at some of last season’s goings on and wish to stress that most of what is in our garden is still rosy.

We have the vast majority of the games proceeding in an uneventful manner with good humour, competitive cricket and plenty of bon homie. We have the support of the best and perhaps longest serving sponsor a league could ever wish for in the Saracens Foundation with additional sponsorship for our cup competitions from Readers. As a result of that our finances are sound. Our umpiring panel is envied by many other leagues for its breadth of coverage

and the standards to which it adheres. Their numbers may have fallen slightly last season, which may be a hangover from Covid and anno domini, but we are trying to address this. Our committee works tirelessly to uphold our principles and I hope our administration from its dedicated volunteers is, whilst not always faultless, honest and committed. The increasing bureaucracy with which we are bombarded from above sometimes irritates but we cope and smile.

I must also mention Richard Bayliss, our handbook editor, and my predecessor as secretary (what a glutton for punishment!) who does a brilliant job, not only in putting together a wonderful book but also in producing his own entertaining and thorough diary of the season.

We have people across the country asking for copies for their cricket collection and I wonder whether there is anybody out there who has all the copies from 1994?

So with ‘Bazball’, the England’s men’s team holding both world limited overs titles, and Australia coming over in the summer there is a lot to look forward to. We should embrace that and make sure that we enjoy our league and cup cricket to the full and always try to see the others’ point of view over a beer or three afterwards. We are not always right!

Diary of the Season 2022

The weather always gets a mention in these annual reports but the 2022 season was extraordinary. Was it global warming or a seasonal freak that resulted in a season with only 21 weather-related cancellations in a league programme of nearly 2,500 fixtures. Many outfields resembled deserts, for weeks, and record temperatures regularly made the headlines in our newspapers. A host of teams played every match in their fixture cards and were grateful for that opportunity.

those teams with limited bowling attacks to struggle all summer? Let’s see, week by week, as the season unfolded.

regionalisation in the lower divisions is one proposal. Initiatives to pair teams left without a fixture at short notice, have also provided a remedy, of sorts.

Plenty of hints elsewhere in the Premier of a competitive season to come. Defeats for champions Harpenden and play-off winners Hertford. Victory for newly promoted Stortford and a ten-wicket victory for Radlett, chasing Welwyn’s 155.

Week 1, 7 May

A relatively quiet start to the league season, unless you were at Hoddesdon, where Totteridge Millhillians were the visitors, in the Premier. In fact, if you decided to have a quick lunch before watching the afternoon’s cricket, you would have missed it. Hoddy were dismissed for just 21 in 14.2 overs; comfortably the lowest ever Player availability was perhaps more of total in the elite division. Destroyer-in-chief a problem than in previous years, with was Joe Wray, a couple of clubs 7.2 overs, 7 for 11 The season in numbers: struggling to raise (and that included even one team, • 29 Divisions, 102 Clubs, 273 teams, 5 wides). Jordan on occasions. 133 Bethel rubbed salt • 2484 Fixtures, 3 void results; 10 tied conceded matches into the wound in 22 cancelled, 133 conceded matches is a worrying figure, the Totteridge reply, even though the • 813,065 runs scored hitting 23 off 13 great majority were balls and the players • 36,142 wickets taken in divisions 11 & headed for the bar 12, as you would (breakfast bar?) after victory in two and a expect. The executive committee is half overs! continually driving for solutions and greater

As the season developed, some divisional tables suffered as a result of these conceded matches and then the withdrawal of some teams. The situation was made worse, from 9 July, by the removal of the three Bushey teams playing in divisions 2A, 6A, & 9B, after the club’s facilities were deemed inadequate.

So would the dry pitches and fast outfields create a paradise for batters and condemn

Bowlers took charge in the Championship, with all five teams who batted second getting bowled out, mostly well short of their targets. Batters balanced the scales in division one, with Leverstock Green putting down a marker with a ten wicket win over Old Albanians, chasing 172.

Another batter to hit early form was Ahmed

Cricket in the Berkhamsted desert 89

Khan of Old Camdenians, with 156* out of his side’s imposing total of 359-5, against Broxbourne II in 5A. Even better was Kasey Harris, who was a run machine in 2021 and picked up where he left off, scoring 184*, which was more than 70% of Botany Bay’s runs against Rickmansworth II, in 6B. Redressing the balance for the bowlers and giving their teams a winning start, were Harry Cobb, taking 7 for 11 for Mymms 2nds against N’ton Exiles in 5A and Andrew Dongworth, 7 for 19 for Sawbo 2nds, who bowled Flamstead out for just 40, in 5B. For close games, Bovingdon’s 1 run defeat of Luton 3rds, in 6B stood out. Chasing 149, Luton’s tail lifted them from 101-7, only to fall short. In 12 South, the one wicket victory for Kings Langley 3rds, with one ball to spare, was equally tense. Langley’s successful pursuit of Northwood 5ths’ 190, owed much to the lower order, especially no. 8 Matthew Owens (64), and no. 10 Hadi Rizvi (30*).

Week 2, 14 May The first question was how would the talented Hoddesdon side respond to the previous week’s shocker? They did so in style, with a six wickets victory over Mymms, albeit with only four balls to spare.

Jayden Broodryk led the way with 118*.

Over 500 runs were scored in that match, quite rare in a 50 over match, but today it was one of four to achieve that feat, all in our top three divisions. In the Championship, Preston defended 294-9 as Dunstable couldn’t recover from 56-6 and finished on 222 with overs in hand.

In the same division, Shenley (285-7; Will Thomson 110) against Broxbourne (253-9) was slightly closer but the result was rarely in doubt. The fourth came in division one, where Redbourn’s 293-7 was 28 too many for Sawbridgeworth, in spite of a Robert Sanders century (108 off 90 balls).

There was another 500-run match, which was unarguably the best of the lot, as it came in 11 South where they play 40 over matches! Chipperfield 3rds piled up 251-7, only for West Herts 5ths to overhaul their 90

total off the last ball of the match. It was a great effort after being 129-7, before no. 7 Ciaran Osborne blitzed 82* off 55 balls.

Another West Herts team was also involved a tight finish today. Their 2nds, in 3A, defended 154 and held off Knebworth to win by 2 runs (Dhruv Mehta 5 for 21 including key wicket of opener Josh Roseberry who scored exactly half of Knebworth’s runs). The tightest game of all saw a tie at Cheshunt, where visitors Watford scored 237 but Cheshunt could only equal that total, off the last ball, with 8 wickets down.

Individual achievement of the day was Syed Nasir Ali Shah’s 152* for Markyate v Letchworth IV in 10 North.

Final words are reserved for veterans/legends. Flitwick IV’s innings against Hitchin V, in 11 North, featured an unbeaten opening partnership of 281 involving the club’s all-time leading run scorer Andrew Summerfield (top). Today he stroked his way to 121*, accompanied throughout by John Trussell (115*) (right).

Among the bowling legends, Tim Smith, (right) approaching his 70th year, took 7 for 29 for Stortford II in 4A, to bowl out Tewin for 82. Stuart Browne (below) is equally a legend at his own club, Radlett, and against Letchworth III, in 6A, finished with 5 for 4! Those figures were matched in 9A by the son of a legend, Nick Hodgins’ boy, Jacob, taking Hemel 4ths to a 123-run win over Hertford 4ths.

Week 3, 21 May As we looked for clues for which team might lift the Premier title, Radlett had seemed to be showing their strength with an unbeaten start but that record went in one of the games of the day. Mymms had set a modest target of 179, with Nesan Jeyaratnam (82) the only batter to pass 25.

At 149-3, Radlett were strolling to victory,

before Hamza Qayyum (5 for 36) and Chanaka Ruwansiri (4 for 32) applied the pressure. The 41st over started well for Radlett, with 7 runs taking them within one of the Mymms total, only for their last two wickets to go within three balls, handing the 25 points to Mymms.

From the live feed at Radlett, Noah Cornwell aims to hit the winning runs down the leg side, only to be caught at slip by Hamza Qayyum, to give Mymms victory

Potters Bar were the other Premier team to show their class today, with a demolition of West Herts. A partnership of 203 between James Seward (107) and Steve Gale (105) set the benchmark, before Lee Tyrrell (5 for 6 in 4.3 overs) and Jigar Mehta (4-38) wrapped things up within 20 overs, for victory by 215 runs.

Leading batter today was Watton’s Ben Connolly in 6A. His 151* out of Watton’s total of 323-4, set up victory over Knebworth II by 171 runs. For good measure, Ben also opened the bowling and took a couple of wickets! He just pipped Mohsin Sageer, whose 150 meant Markyate had two batters scoring 150+ in consecutive weeks. Mike Samuels of Hemel 4ths wasn’t far behind, scoring 137 in a total of 328-4, ahead of a 277-run victory over Baldock in 9A. Perhaps the most remarkable century came from Basil Letts, for Aldenham, in 8A. His team were chasing Hitchin III’s total of 179-6, which they achieved comfortably, for the loss of four wickets, but Basil hit 135* of those runs! No other batter reached double figures.

Among the bowlers, Marcus Hill starred with remarkable figures of 5 for 1 in 2.4 overs, for Tewin II, who bowled out Stevenage V for just 33, in 10 North.

Week 4, 28 May One tied match today, plus thrillers in the Championship and 5A took the headlines.

In 2B, Northwood were struggling at 85-6

but set a reasonable final target of 186 in the 50th over. Lutonian were strolling at 123-2 but subsided to 146-8. The last pair added 22 only for the last wicket to go down with the scores level, at the end of the 49th over.

The Championship’s nailbiter saw Shenley overhaul Preston’s total of 228 with just one ball to spare, having recovered from 88-5. Meanwhile, Bentley Heath’s total of 300, in 5A, was anchored by Hassan Zeb (110) but they came to regret having 13 balls still unused when the last wicket fell.

In reply, Frogmore had their own centurion in Jack Massey (104) who put on 189 for the first wicket with Ian Hurst (74), until both were dismissed in the 28th over.

Progress continued, until 272-4 became 285-8, before 13 off the 49th over settled the nerves only for a run out on 299, which left two runs required off the last three balls.

No problem for Felipe Lima de Melo who hit his first ball for 4! (You can read more about Felipe, from Brazil, on page 14) Frogmore’s big partnership was one of several this weekend. Dan Bradley of Harpenden III, (158*), and teammate Joshua Sambrook (141*) were way out in front, amassing 308 for the 3rd wicket at Stevenage in 4B. Similarly impressive Joshua Sambrook (left) and was the opening Dan Bradley who put on 308 for Harpenden III. The stand of 228 by is missing a run Kieran Jones (130) scoreboard for Joshua! & David Brandon (72), in 10 South, putting North Enfield II on the road to victory over Parkfield. Prakash Murugesan (106*) and Dillon Mahawatte (70*) can be proud of their opening stand of 190 in 23 overs, as it earned West Herts V a ten-wicket victory over Leverstock Green IV in 11 South. Then in a Sunday match in 12 East, Pratik Vyas (132*) and Ramesh Pant (104*) put on over 200 for Southgate 91

Compton II against Broxbourne Solo innings to catch the eye included 155 (12x4, 8x6) by Datchworth’s Kieran Atkinson, against Potton in 3A, and Abhishek Nasa, with 150 for Mymms 3rds in 12 East, against St Margaretsbury 4ths.

Carrying the flag for the bowlers today was James Downes (top picture) with the excellent return of 9.5-3-19-8. Playing for Leverstock 2nds in 5A and coming on as first change, he helped to dismiss Mymms 2nds for 96. leading to victory by 136 runs.

Just one team performance caught the eye in the Premier today, where Hoddesdon returned to their bad old ways. Although a total of 144 may not seem too gross, it owed everything to Jayden Broodryk’s 81* as the other 10 batters managed only 41 between them, leaving West Herts the victors by 75 runs.

Week 5, 4 June A long weekend, in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, which inevitably meant rain but luckily not enough to affect the outcome of many matches or hinder some marvellous individual efforts. With the benefit of postseason hindsight, we can report that the season’s top bowling and batting performances both occurred this day.

Let’s start with the successful bowler, Sandridge’s Pete Jordan (2nd picture). Coming on as first change, when his team-mate pulled up mid-over with an injury, he maintained a perfect line and length, taking the first nine wickets, aided and abetted by excellent fielding. Pete even saw a difficult chance go down in the last of his allotted ten overs - so close to all ten but 92

ultimately Pete had to settle for 9-45, a haul that would not be bettered all season, anywhere.

Double centuries are quite rare but today we had two! Top scorer for the day (and, so it turned out, for the season) was Neil Bamford (3rd picture), who opened for Mymms 2nds, in 5A. He took the Broxbourne II attack apart, with 219 off 155 balls (29x4, 2x6), to set up victory by 143 runs. Close behind on the honours board came Kazim Bacchus (4th picture), whose unbeaten 210 came off only 126 balls, with 17x4 and 15x6.

He helped Edmonton to reach 316-1 in 11 East - where innings are limited to only 40 overs! In the 38th over, Kazim needed 18 to get his double 100 and, worried he might miss out, immediately smashed three sixes over cow corner into the adjacent field!

The final victory margin, over Old Owens III, was 165 runs.

Kieran Jones & David Brandon were mentioned last week, with their opening stand of 228 for North Enfield 2nds and they carried that form into this week’s match against Parkfield II, in 10 South. They couldn’t be parted, as they pursued Letchmore’s total of 203-8 (bottom picture), with Kieran’s 100* his 2nd century in successive weeks. Among the best of the rest, Matt Howeson’s 168* for St Albans 2nds against Stevenage 2nds, stood out.

We had a tied match today, in 7A, where St Margaretsbury 2nds set a challenging total of 249-4, off their 40 overs. Old Cholmeleians duly took up the challenge, Sam Khalique leading the way with 134 off 94 balls, only for his team to finish on parity, eight down.

Almost as close was Bushey

III’s visit to Flamstead (2nds) where the home side reached 226-7. Bushey levelled the scores, four wickets down, with one ball left, which was hit for six, to make sure of victory.

No outstanding events in the Premier today, the last week of limited overs matches until August, although Hertford (last season’s play-off winners) did achieve a first win of the season against Harpenden (last season’s league champions). The top match, by any measure, was the two-runs victory by Potters Bar over Totteridge, both in the top 4 of the table. Bar owed much of their 297-3 total to a stand of 132 between Rishi Patel (136; 11x4, 8x6) and Steve Gale (58*). Patel’s innings included 30 off the 40th over, one dot ball and five maximums!

The Totteridge reply stuttered when 61-0 became 65-4, before Ravi Madushan (102) and Simon Webster (63) began the rebuild but a clatter of wickets meant 23 were still required off the last four overs, with the last pair at the crease. This was reduced to 12 needed off the last over and with 9 off the first three balls, it was game on, but, next ball, Maheshram took the last of his three wickets and Bar were home.

Our footnote for this week is the selection of possibly the oldest player ever, for a 1st XI in the top three divisions of a Herts League game. Mike Dobner (left), aged 72, got the call-up by Langleybury and what makes his appearance stand out is the fact he was chosen to keep wicket!

Availability and injury issues meant he had to don the gloves but there were no doubts about his fitness or abilities, as team-mates in the Herts Seniors (which he chairs) will testify. For the record, Mike let through only 7 byes out of 37 extras in Sawbridgeworth’s winning total of 304.

Week 6, 11 June It was the first round of timed matches for our premier divisions and a few of the batters obviously relished the longer

format. Leading the way was Simon Webster, whose 167 off 106 balls (16x4, 11x6), batting at no. 7, enabled Totteridge to declare on 341-6, after just 52 overs.

Welwyn still hung on for the draw, finishing on at 182-9, after 63 overs.

A run fest at Hertford where four players celebrated centuries. After Hugh Cavener had been run out without facing, Fayaz Homyoon (114) and Bailey Eustance (115*) put on 191, allowing the home side to finish on 286-4 after 60 overs, before Stortford replied with interest. After being 32-3, Joe Burslem (120*) and Joe Hawkins (141* off 110 balls) put on 256 and saw their team home in the 51st over.

Division 1, still playing the 50 overs format, had a big centurion in Sol Tomlinson, 166 out of 349-6, which was 162 too many for St Margaretsbury. Yet that wasn’t the day’s top score.

Down in 7B Sam GreenArmytage (right) monopolised the Southgate Adelaide IIs innings and out of the team total of 291-4, against Cockfosters II, Sam scored 208 in 137 balls (23x4; 8x6). And that was all in 40 overs.

Another pair of batters to make hay were Adam Pitt (131) and Kaz Ahmed (101), who put on 230 for the first wicket for Hitchin 4ths, against Harpenden 5ths in 10 North.

The final accolade goes to North Enfield’s Kieran Jones, who was mentioned last week. And the week before. A man obviously in form, today he notched his third successive century. He more than helped NE 2nds to their 40 over total of 248-2, which proved to be 50 too many for Botany Bay 2nds, in the all-Middlesex clash in 10S

Week 7, 18 June On the preceding Thursday, the country recorded its 2nd hottest June day on 93

record. As sure as night follows day, the weather would break and the first serious rain this summer arrived just in time to have an impact on our league programme. None more than in the Premier, where Radlett lost their status as league leaders, when their result against Harpenden couldn’t even be saved by Duckworth Lewis Stern.

Potters Bar had no problems in beating Hertford and stepped into the top spot.

Jack Massey, who scored 130 off 86 balls – having been dropped second ball of the innings! Wickets fell regularly, the 9th going down on 229 with 7 balls remaining.

Last ball, and with only one run required, Brazilian Felipe played a late cut - which went to 3rd slip. Match tied. Except… it transpired that both sides and the umpires had calculated incorrectly and Camdenians had actually won by one run!

Most batters weren’t distracted by the weather, jusdgig by the centuries and high team scores. Lutonian rattled up 326-3 off 47 overs against Hertford II, with Ammad Saeed (139) and Zahid Khan (101*) putting on 174 for the 3rd wicket. Also in 2B, Nirrushan Raveenthiraraja (112*) scored most of Northwood’s 166 runs to beat Potters Bar II by10 wickets.

Week 8, 25 June

Dinesh Johnson mammoth 154* (22x4; 6x6) for Mill Hill Village 2nds, against Dunstable 3rds, was the best of the rest. Ben Newton’s 137*, led the way in Harpenden III’s imposing total of 375-5 in 45 overs, against Langleybury II, in 4B. Paddy Boylan wasn’t far behind, with 135 for Datchworth 4ths, out of 239-2 in just 25.2 overs and an eight-wicket victory over Hitchin VI, in 12 North. Awais Paul’s 128 was the main contribution to Bamville’s 360-5 off just 40 overs, against Baldock II in 9A. Wheathampstead III moved into 4th place in the list of all-time highest margins of victory, with victory by 350 runs over Letchworth 5ths in 12 North. The victors had two centurions, Nick Lloyd & Quentin Vaile but their efforts were more memorable for their application of the spirit of cricket at that level, with both batters retiring when they reached three figures, to give teammates time at the crease.

For the game of the day we turn to a top v bottom encounter in 5A. Batting first against Frogmore, leaders Old Camdenians scored 72, with fielders dropping 10 catches in the innings, only one of them difficult (by Frogmore’s own admission!). After a rain delay Frogmore’s revised victory target was 234 which came within reach through 94

Some high quality batting towards the top end of the league was the stand-out feature on a day of high scores and, thankfully, only a little interfering rain.

Highest scorers in the Premier, with 351-2, were Radlett, and their 54-run victory over Stortford was enough to send them back to the top of the table, as Potters Bar drew.

An unbeaten 4th wicket stand of 189 was the main feature of the Radlett innings, with Nathan Smith bludgeoning his way to 119* off 63 balls (10x4; 8x6), accompanied by David Burnell (106*). A five-wicket haul for Kabir Toor ensured the victory.

Left: Nathan Smith; Right David Burnell

Rhys Wynne and Chanaka Ruwansiri were both out in the nervous 90s but did enough to ensure Mymms could overtake the Totteridge 60 over total of 260-6, for whom Jack Keeping scored 105*. Mymms leapt into 3rd place as a result.

Arguably the game of the day was the drawn encounter between West Herts and Harpenden, which went to the last ball.

Alastair Lewis, with 107, was the main contributor to the West Herts total of 2778. In reply, Harpenden were stuttering at

110-5, including the wicket of Aussie Hilton Cartwright (2 Tests & 2 ODIs) for just 2, in his only appearance of the summer.

Half centuries for Nick Lamb and Ashley Sivarajah turned things around and Ashley was still there at the end, to face the last ball with two required for victory but a swing and a miss meant both teams finished the day in the bottom half of the table.

The other reportable tight finish came in 8B, where Redbourn 3rds stayed top after defending 233 then turning things round after Kings Langely II’s openers put on 164, eventually squeezing home by two runs.

Runs a-plenty at Flitwick the Championship, where the home side’s triple Nelson score, for the loss of only three wickets, was largely thanks to Apoorv Wankhade (127) and George Thurstance (104*), before 2nd-place Shenley were dismissed for 230 in 42 overs. The division also had one of the day’s top scorers, in George Davies, with 143 for bottom club Broxbourne.

Division One saw the bowling performance of the day, with St Margaretsbury dismissing Old Albanians for 98 and Joe O'Gorman taking a remarkable seven wickets for six runs in 8.4 overs.

A little further down the structure, Neil Morgan’s 143 for Hemel 2nds was the stand-out innings, ahead of victory by 223 runs over Reed II. In contrast to these notable individual performances, the day effectively marked the end of the season for Bushey. Their 1st team’s home match against Berkhamsted was called off early in the first innings, when the umpires deemed the pitch too dangerous to continue. The 2nd XI were unable to play there the following week and the League committee felt that, with no early prospect of an improvement in the facilities, their season should be ended and points earned by their opponents should not count. With the prospect of so many high quality players being available for their 3rd XI, that team was also withdrawn from the League and its matches to date regarded as void.

Tweeting Success

At 7:49 pm on Sat, Sep 03, 2022, @ LetchworthGCCC tweeted....

1s WIN AND STAY UP! After a tough year, back-toback wins completes the great escape.

Thanks to Twitter we learned a lot about Letchworth Garden City, this season, and there was a lot to admire.

In mid-July they put out seven teams while on 21 May, they proudly announced that with the exception of their overseas player..... “every single member of this Saturday’s 1st XI - now aged 31 to 16 - has represented LGCCC at the age of 15 or younger.”

Talking of youngsters, a week earlier we learned that Joe Davidson would be making his 1st XI debut aged 16, the youngest player to do so since Tom Simmons in 2008. “The kid can play,” it said.

Which he proved, taking 2-24 on debut and proving the most economical of the six bowlers used that day, It wasn’t all plain sailing, as we saw on 27 August when four of the club’s teams were bowled out for under 100.

But as they also pointed out...

"Still getting 5 teams out and giving 55 blokes a game of cricket.”

Week 9, 2 July By the end of today we had reached the half way point of the season, so a good time to look at the tables and those teams with titles in their sights. The top of the Premier is the place to start, as the clear leaders, Radlett and Potters Bar, faced up to each other today. Victory by Bar, by 96 runs, meant they replaced Radlett in 1st place. Would that change before they met again on the last day of the season?

Only 25 points separated the five clubs in the bottom half of the table, so the fight to avoid the one relegation place would create a dramatic 2nd half to the season.

At the top of the Championship, Old Owens were determined to earn their Premier place and avoid the play-off, which caused such disappointment at the end of the previous season. By this half-way point, they were nearly 30 points ahead of 2nd placed Shenley and more than 60 points ahead of the rest of the pack. Only 13 points separated the bottom four clubs in the relegation dog-fight.

In all other divisions, playing limited overs only, most had an even look among the top teams. An exception was in 5A, where Old Camdenians had opened up a gap of 70 points ahead of the rest. They were also one of only five teams throughout the whole league which could boast an unbeaten record. At the opposite end, seven teams were still looking for their first win.

The ‘No Result’ columns gave us the evidence of this season’s good weather. In the Premier, three matches had failed to produce a result through rain, while only four other divisions recorded cancellations, with just one match lost in each of those.

On the field today, that top-of-the-Premier clash went the way of Potters Bar mainly thanks to a 3rd wicket stand of 227 between Reece Hussain (140*) and Steve Gale (102). Having posted 298-3 in their 60 overs, Bar dismissed Radlett for 202 inside 47 overs.

Other stand-out efforts at the top level included James Latham’s 159 for Harpenden, who beat Stortford, and six wickets for Welwyn’s Kapil Dave, setting up their victory over Hoddesdon.

Closest finish of the day came in 3A, when basement team Dunstable 2nds set leaders West Herts II a target of 243, and saw them hit a boundary off the last ball to win the match by two wickets. Several onewicket victories made for exciting finishes, including at Southgate Adelaide who had 11 balls in hand (Thomas Lethbridge 103), when they passed the Northwood Town total of 233, in 4A; Redbourn II saw the last pair put on 20 to win, chasing the 204 of Stevenage II, in 4B; a one wicket victory for Minchendenians in the battle of the top two in 8A, chasing Aldenham’s 40-over total of 173; Boxmoor II also thanked the last pair for overhauling Totteridge III 189 in 8B; and finally in 10 North, where Preston 4ths needed only 113 to beat Tewin II but it went to the last ball, with the last pair at the crease.

There was one other finish which was even closer, with Bushey 3rds in a tie with Stevenage 4ths in 9B. Both scored 171 (Stevenage losing 8 wickets, chasing) but, as described earlier, Bushey had all results voided with their exit from the League, so this was their last and most memorable match of the season by any measure.

Heat warnings were a regular feature, but if you were playing at Abbots Langley, hopefully you didn't use the BBC weather map, which put it in Devon!

For individual performances, there was a smattering of excellent centuries throughout the League today, with the top score accolade going to Asif Bacchus of

Edmonton, in 11 East, for his imperious 154 out of a total of 350-5 and a victory by 236 runs over Broxbourne IV. Not far behind was Matt Potton, with 145 for Boxmoor, scored off just 114 balls (16x4; 8x6).

Week 10, 9 July The eye-catching score from the top end of the League today was Radlett’s 3572, at Welwyn. Chiefly responsible for the mayhem were Dom Chatfield (173*; 17x4, 5x6) and Kabir Toor (157 off 132 balls; 12x4, 9x6). They came together when opener Christopher Arul had to retire, on 19*, and were eventually parted with the score on 338, ahead of a declaration after 57 overs. WGC received 59 overs in return but never threatened to reach the target, holding on for a draw at 187-7. Potters Bar thus held on to top Dom Chatfield spot, increasing their points advantage over Radlett after beating Harpenden by 54 runs.

Today’s schedule marked the reverse fixtures from the opening day, so, many eyes were on Hoddesdon, dismissed Kabir Toor

by Totteridge for just 21 in week 1. Could they put that behind them? The answer was not really, as they were dismissed inside 37 overs today, for 84. They never recovered from 5 for 3 and 27 for 5, chasing 192, and slipped into the bottom two in the table.

Elsewhere, it was all about close matches, including two terrific ties.

In 3B. Wheathampstead were defending 151 against Hemel 2nds, who were knocked off course when 132-6 became 136-9 and the last pair of Stanley Hayden and Tom Willetts only just failed to get them over the line. 20 points each.

For real drama, we turn to 8A where leaders Old Minchendenians visited St Albans 3rds,

who were chasing 187 for the win. The final over began with Saints requiring nine runs for victory, with two wickets in hand.

Four singles from the first five deliveries meant a near impossible five to win off one ball. Tom Wilton, on 50, hit it straight and a slight misfield allowed two runs. With nothing to lose, Wilton turned for a third as the ball was thrown to the bowler, who, just metres from the stumps, elected to throw down the stumps when, with a couple of steps, he could have run out Wilton. Three runs completed and, miraculously, the bowler’s throw was wild enough to allow the batters to turn and the all-run four meant Saints had stolen a remarkable tie. As a footnote, Tom Wilton, who finished on 54*, hadn’t expected to be playing, having spent the morning at work but answered the very late call after a Covid-related withdrawal.

It was almost as dramatic in division one, where Ampthill squeezed home by one wicket, off the last ball of the match and with the last pair at the wicket. Having restricted Langleybury to 222-9, the chase was going well at 166-3 but less so at 171-6 and when the ninth wicket fell in the 47th over, 19 runs were required. After a cautious couple of overs, 11 were still needed off he last over but Will Sneath and Louis Evans scored off every ball, with a single off the last ball getting them home.

No less exciting was the one-run win in 2A for Holtwhites at Watford, defending 1919, even though the hosts had six overs in hand at the end. Similar drama in in 3A, as Knebworth, chasing Chipperfield’s 196, slipped from 157-4 to 184-9, mainly through Andrew Oliver’s 6 for 17, before the last pair crossed the line with two overs in hand.

Same in 4A, where, Southgate Adelaide’s 214 wasn’t quite enough, as Tewin’s last pair saw them home, with just four balls to spare, with no. 8 Tom Wood’s 56*, the highest score, responsible for all the runs in that victorious partnership. A similar scenario in 7A but Flitwick 3rds had only two balls left and nine wickets down, when they passed the Datchworth 2nds score of 134. Then in 11 East, Old Owens III’s 125-4 97

in 40 overs was just enough, as they held back Hertingfordbury II, reducing them from 92-4 to 101-9, before taking the last wicket and victory by one run.

Bowlers were apparently finding it hard going on the dry pitches, so let’s single out the performance of Mark Waters for Preston II in 5A. In just 5.2 overs he took 7 of Bentley Heath’s wickets at a cost of 19 runs, to dismiss them for 40 to give his team victory by 207 runs.

On the other hand, many batters were enjoying life. Such as Inayat Rahman, who plundered the Allenburys 2nds attack for 163, in Hatch End’s winning total of 298-4, in 7B. Close behind was Hamza Bashir, who hit 156 to set up Markyate’s victory over Redbourn 4ths in 10 North.

All-rounder of the day must be Dan Sherry whose efforts enabled Old Cholmeleians to beat Weston by 13 runs, in 7A. Dan (left) scored 113* and took 5 for 45. Weston must groan when they see Dan’s name on the team sheet – he scored 90* in the reverse fixture and in a match around seven years ago scored a ton against them, to win the match.

And, finally, a mention for Hoddesdon stalwart and former 1st team captain, Nick Gandon. He hit 107 just a week ahead of his final game for the club before moving away. It wasn’t enough for Hoddy 3rds, however, who couldn’t defend 260 and went down by 8 wickets to Hertford 4ths, in 9A.

Week 11, 16 July Things were hotting up, in every sense, as today’s fixtures were played just three days before Britain recorded its highest

ever temperature (40.3°). The batters certainly enjoyed conditions in the Premier, with every team comfortably passing 200.

Similar in the Championship, where only three teams failed to score more than 200.

The lowest scoring match in the Premier was also the closest, with Radlett defending a score of 227, after Dom Chatfield, 173* last week, went first ball today! His teammates did well to recover from 24-4, with the last pair putting on a vital 47 runs. Fast forward to the day’s last over and the last Totteridge batter was run out, enabling Radlett to squeeze home by just two runs,

with one ball to spare. (Run out captured here, captured from the live feed).

The Championship’s lowest scoring game also matched that excitement, starting with Old Owens being dismissed for 133, the last six wickets going down for 21 runs.

They were top of the table for a reason, however, and reduced Reed to 64-6, before a recovery made them favourites, only for Owens to take the last three wickets within five balls, for no runs, giving them the victory by five runs.

That was one run better than Broxbourne’s win over Shenley. There were two centurions in the Broxbourne innings, Jack Plumb (108*) and Conor Ridley (103), who put on 180 for the third wicket towards a total of 289-4. Liam Robinson’s five wickets looked to be the match-winning contribution, only for Shenley’s last pair to put on 44 runs, to scare the home team, before their six-run victory.

Centurions at the top level included James Latham (119) for Harpenden, Reece Hussain (115) for Potters Bar and Priyamal

98

Perrera (106*) for West Herts. Flitwick’s veteran, George Thurstance, led the way in the Championship, with 136*.

Tied matches are not unusual but Lutonian broke new ground by recording their 2nd tie of the season. They achieved parity with Northwood on 28 May and today scored 151, before bowling out Eversholt for the same total. Both innings followed similar patterns, with the loss of early wickets, then rescue acts by players scoring halfcenturies but the end was interesting as Lutonian turned to Zahid Khan, their 9th bowler, to try and dislodge the last pair who were carefully approaching the victory target. With his 2nd ball and the scores level, Zahid ended the innings.

Among the run-fests, Tewin v Stortford 2nds, in 4A, saw over 680 runs scored in the match. Stortford’s Jonathan Gaffney (154*) set the standard and Tewin responded with three half-centurions of their own, before they went down by 25 runs.

Two teams could boast two centurions to applaud today. At Berkhamsted, the home 2nd team’s Matthew Brown (102) and Daniel Chrispin (100) put on 164 of their side’s total of 294-7, ahead of victory over Welwyn 3rds by 208 run (pictured celebrating their centuries). Similar scores in Holtwhites 4ths, where Arjun Popat (102*) and Tom Newman (104), set up a 53 runs victory over St Margaretsbury 4ths, in 12 East.

Other stand-out innings included Will Hales 136 for Redbourn in div. one (with his brother, Ed, scoring 96 at the other end); and Robert Urwin, 142, in 10 East, for Broxbourne 3rds (to go with the cub’s two other centurions in the 1st XI, above).

Among all this run-making, one man carried the flag for bowlers. And how!

Louis Champion of Knebworth Park came on as 4th change, and in 8.3 overs took

an outstanding 8 for 18. And why was he 4th change? Because Louis (pictured) spent the first half of innings as ‘keeper (he kept for most of the season) and it was only the second time he had bowled in a league match in over five years. What an all-rounder! His superb effort which was good enough to get him onto the national honours board on play-cricket.com There was an interesting footnote to the performance of Flitwick IV in 11 North, who beat Hitchin V by ten wickets, chasing 89.

In the reverse fixture earlier in the season, Flitwick’s openers scored 281 without being parted. So in their two matches, the Hitchin bowlers had failed to take a Flitwick wicket.

The most regrettable incident of the day came at Rickmansworth. The first team’s match with Allenburys, in 3A, was recorded as cancelled but that followed behavioural issues early in the game, which caused the match to be abandoned. One player caused the issue, playing his first (and only!) match in the Herts League. Both captains also served a one-match ban. A regrettable story of how the behaviour of one rogue player can ruin the enjoyment of a game for the remaining 21 players, officials and spectators. A lesson for all clubs.

Week 12, 23 July Potters Bar held on to top spot in the Premier, beating West Herts by 32 runs, with just 10 minutes left to play and in spite of some brilliant resistance from Priyamal 99

Perrera, who scored 134 from 93 balls (18x4; 6x6).

2nd placed Radlett beat 3rd placed Mymms by nine wickets through the combined brilliance of Josh De Caires (159* off 131 balls) and Kabir Toor (104* off 97 with 6x4 and 7x6). They put on 222 to win the match.

Josh (pictured left) had already taken four wickets and helped to restrict Mymms to 288-8, where the highlight was a 3rd wicket partnership of 177 between Chanaka Ruwansiri (101) and Guganeshan Muralitharan (81).

Meanwhile, the basement battle between Hertford and Hoddesdon went the way of the Balls Park hosts, by seven wickets, after dismissing Hoddy for 216. Five wickets for Jon Ryan. Hoddy dropped to bottom place, as a result. They had been 4th at the start of the month.

There was a similar battle to avoid relegation in the Championship, where Luton lifted themselves off the bottom with a three wickets win over Reed, who dropped to ninth. Having bowled out Reed for 246 in the 60th over (five wickets for Divyesh Patel) Luton did well to recover from 85-5, getting over the line with one ball left of their 55th over.

Still in the Championship, a word for Conor Ridley of Broxbourne. Last week he was a batting hero with a century. Today he took 7 wickets for 52, in the win over Preston.

The highlight in division one was a high scoring tie at Langleybury, where Letchworth chased the home side’s 254-7. They seemed well on their way at 232-3 in the 45th over but a clatter of wickets, including top scorer Christy O’Brien for 99, created a tense finish. Five required from the last over, with three wickets in hand, but 2,dot,1,1,W,W left cricket as the only winner.

Sawbridgeworth’s total of 248-3 was the next highest in div. one but the player taking the plaudits was Michael Burrell who took his 300th league wicket for the 1st XI. 100

Top scorers below the Premier both came in the regional divisions. Faisal Tanoli’s 143* off 119 balls, for Shenley 4ths in 10 East was matched in 11 East by Edmonton’s Kevin Hemans, whose 143 came off 102 balls, before he was dismissed. Not far behind them was Tom Garraway with 136* for Old Elizabethans in 2A. A rare hat-trick to report, with Boxmoor’s Amit Mahajan performing the feat against Flamstead in 5B but with his five wicket haul he was the lone star as Flamstead reached 211 and won by 81 runs.

Finally, North Enfield 2nds were sitting pretty on top of 10 South but their nerves must have been shattered after the three successive tight finishes. Two weeks ago they chased the 192 target set by Mill Hill 3rds and got there off the last ball.

Last week they needed 213 to overhaul Holtwhites 3rds and managed it in the very last over. Today it was another run chase, after Old Elizabethans 3rds had scored 185-7, and again it went down to the final ball as they passed the post with six wickets down, a win that should have been more comfortable after being 181-2.

Week 13, 30 July In the batter-friendly conditions which prevailed this season, let’s celebrate some top bowling performances today, starting with two in the Championship. Reed’s Toby Fynn took 7 for 34 to inflict a heavy defeat on Hitchin, by 163 runs. Seven wickets also for Flitwick’s Apoorv Wankhade, for 40 runs, to set up the victory over Hemel, with Apoorv then smashing 42 off 33 balls with four 6s, in the chase. The third member of this special club 7 was Sai Chaitanya Nanduri, who took 7 Bovingdon wickets for just 15 runs to help his Potters Bar 3rds to a 7 wickets win.

Back in the day, teams would adjourn to the bar. Now it's a debrief and analysis while sitting on the outfield!

I described a Boxmoor hat-trick last week as a rare event. Then, like buses, two come along together. Today it was Parteek Malhotra who achieved the feat during his match-winning spell of 6-22 v Sawbridgeworth 2nd XI. This wasn’t a oneman show, however, as Daniel Hobbs (115) & Anum Hamdani (80*) had put on 180 at the start of the Boxmoor innings, leading to a defeat for Sawbo by 224 runs Close finishes were in plentiful supply today, starting in division one, where Harpenden II made hard work of chasing down Letchworth’s modest total of 156, with only three batters reaching double figures and the last pair at the wicket when the win was achieved. Harpenden had several overs in hand at the end, whereas Kings Langley, in 2B, had only six balls remaining when their nos. 10 & 11 grabbed the win over Eversholt. In the same division, Letchworth’s 2-wicket win over Northchurch wasn’t quite so tight but in a match of nearly 600 runs, it was an impressive chase, led

by David Albon, with 126.

Similarly in 3B, Parkfield had two wickets in hand when they passed Bayford’s 284-6 but with only five balls remaining.

The win stood out, however, because of a remarkable innings by A Khan. Coming in at no. 8, he hit 162*, with the next highest score being just 32 – by the no. 9! Division 3B was the place for exciting cricket today, with Cockfosters overcoming Reed 2nds by just three runs and Welwyn II defeating Hemel II by the same margin, with a 49th over climax which included four runs, three wides and two wickets.

In 4B, Chorleywood 2nds one wicket win over St Albans 2nds, with three balls remaining, followed the same exhilarating pattern. As did Northampton Exiles defeat of Radlett 3rds, with a one run margin, in 5A. While it was even closer in 7A, where Abbots 2nds went past Old Cholmeleians 177-4 with nine down and just one ball remaining.

By comparison, in 8A, the margin of victory for Wheathampstead 2nds over Watford 3rds, five runs, might seem pedestrian

1700 and counting!

We acknowledge the huge contribution made by umpires and scorers to the success of the Herts League. One scorer who often appears on these pages, reached another milestone last year.

Richard White scored his 1,700th game for Sawbridgeworth, including a little matter of 644 1st team league games, the last 634 in a row since missing the match v West Herts on 28 July 1984. That’s a tremendous record of achievement and deserved better performances from Sawbo 1sts to help him celebrate. On the day the picture below was taken, at Langleybury, the home team recorded the highest ever league score suffered

by Sawbo, and on the day of Richard’s milestone, the league game at St Albans, Sawbo were bowled out for just 54!

but it was achieved after the first six Wheathampstead batters had departed for just 22 runs, with no. 10 Thomas Bates top scoring on 53*. Most of those same lateorder batters were then the bowlers who ensured the close but successful finish.

By contrast, there was a ten wicket win in 12 East for St Margaretsbury 4ths. So what? Well opponents Mymms 3rds scored an impressive 209-1 in their 40 overs, after an opening stand of 201, thanks to Jon Mather (92*) and Yadhav Birindhapan (72).

The ‘Bury response came from Michael Anstead (57*) and Steve Price (114*). So 419 runs scored and just one wicket fell in the whole match. Incidentally, 15 of the 22 players had a bowl, in the true spirit of cricket at this level.

Today’s summary started with some great bowling performances, so let’s end with 101

memorable batting efforts, starting with Stuart Gadsden (139*) for Hitchin V who won by 43 runs over Letchworth V in the local derby in 11 North. Not far behind came Paul Rothery (129*) for Sandridge II in 9A, and, finally, Matthew Brown, a centurion for Berkhamsted 2nds two weeks ago, in 6A, today scored 123 in their defeat of Knebworth II by 201 runs.

Week 14, 6 August You know that it’s a hot summer when a hosepipe ban is imposed and that’s what happened this week. The Government didn't appoint a Minister for Drought, as happened in 1976, but the water situation was getting serious. The ban applied to households, so groundsmen happily watered away and, judging by the scores, batters appreciated the conditions.

Of the five matches in the Premier, four of them saw the team batting first pass the 300 mark. At the top, Potters Bar had a memorable day with the bat but they left Totteridge with only a winning draw, which kept them ahead of victorious Radlett but the lead was cut to 16 points. James Seward and Reece Hussain put together a mighty 2nd wicket stand of 300, with James eventually out for 184, off 180 balls, with 10 maximums and 19 fours. Chasing 342, Totteridge lost wickets regularly and ended on 287 for 6 from 58 overs.

Reece Hussain (left) and James Seward, Potters Bar 102

Not to be outdone, Radlett rattled up a match-winning score of 338-3, thanks mainly to David Burnell (107*) and Nathan

Smith (142) whose stunning knock came off just 84 balls, (14x4; 7x6). Hoddsdon’s reply never really got going and they lost by 119 runs, with five wickets for Anthony Hill.

There were two other centurions in the Premier, Scott Galloway (121) for Harpenden and Alastair Lewis (138*) for West Herts.

Still four games to go, after today, but Old Owens became the first team outside the regional divisions to celebrate promotion. It was the clash of the top two today and they beat Shenley by three wickets, after six wickets for Rhys Carter, not only to secure a place in the Premier for the first time but they would also go up as champions.

The club described their rise to the top as ‘monumental’ which started in Division 7 in 2004. Here’s their record: 2004 - Champions of Div 7 2005 - promoted in 4th from Div 6 2009 - promoted in 2nd from Div 5 2011 - promoted in 4th from Div 4 2013 - promoted in 4th from Div 3 2016 - promoted in 2nd from Div 2A 2018 - champions of Div 1 2020 - champions of Championship (Covid) 2022 - champions of Championship At the other end of the Championship the two bottom clubs were in opposition and it was a low scoring nail-biter. Luton lost a wicket to the 2nd ball and never recovered.

Broxbourne had to chase only 92 to earn the 30 points but also found themselves 0 for 1. Then the relative comfort of 67-5 became 67-9 and calm heads were required. The last pair, Terry White & Robin Glassberg, duly did what was required and delivered the victory which lifted Broxbourne out of the relegation zone.

Today’s real run fest came in division one, with Rebourn and Leverstock Green amassing 711 runs between them. Ed Hales gave Redbourn the ideal start, scoring 182 off just 96 balls (21x4; 10x6).

Remarkable. The first 50 came up in the 4th over and the final score of 371-6 was surely insurmountable. Leverstock, and in particular Sol Tomlinson, had other ideas and went for it. When Sol was third out in the 37th over, for 209 (119 balls; 24x4;

9x6), the score had already passed 300 but six wickets went down for 12 runs and with the score on 340, it was all over. Exhilarating.

And quite a day for Sol, on his birthday (pictured left, with Dave Tyson). His was the highest individual score ever by a Leverstock player in the Herts League and his fourth ton of the season. And his team’s total was the 2nd highest ever, by just two runs, by a team batting 2nd.

Incidentally, Leverstock’s batters made hay the sunshine in their top three teams, with scores of 340, 317-8, and 277-7 (in 40 overs), respectively.

Still in div. one, runs galore also at Langleybury and a record of sorts, with the home side racking up 339-8, which meant Sawbridgeworth had conceded their highest ever score in the League. Mo Manzoor top scored with 115 and 14-year old James Frans, a week after his first team debut for Sawbo, took a wicket with his first ball. A vital win for Langleybury, by 114 runs, as they looked to escape from the bottom two.

Harpenden 2nds were already beginning to look safe and today, in their defeat of Old Albanians by 236 runs, they had two centurions in Barney Francis (126) and Mike Howard (116).

A double also at Markyate, in 10 North, with Mohsin Sageer 110 and Fezan Bukhari 113. Other big centuries to applaud were scored by Phil Warren, 144 for Great Gaddesden in 9A, and William Bryant, 126* for Chorleywood II in 4B. One problem fixture today, largely as a result of the dry summer. In 6B, the match between Luton 3rds and Cheshunt 2nds had to be called off, because the pitch wasn’t considered safe. Although a Council ground, the Luton players took it on themselves to do repairs & maintenance, with the result they were able to complete their programme of home fixtures.

Aldenham's Big Year Aldenham’s fourth promotion in six years was just one highlight for the club, as, in its 50th year, it also lifted the Herts Village Trophy.

Promotion from 8A, behind Pinner, was assured before the final weekend, leaving the squad free to concentrate on the Village finals at Knebworth. In this T20 competition, they beat Offley & Stopsley by 70 runs in the semis and faced Potten End in the final, where they set an imposing target of 190-5.

Perennial runmachine, Chris Munroe, led the way with 46 off 23 balls. At 112-1 off 13 overs, Potten were looking favourites, but the bowlers came to the party, restricting the stroke makers and taking crucial wickets, and at 159-8 Aldenham were the cup winners by 31 runs.

Around 150 people attended the 50th anniversary event in mid-season, to celebrate a memorable landmark for the club. Skipper Chris Munroe told the Watford Observer: “We pride ourselves on being a friendly, family-orientated club that is open to everyone. It’s a huge credit to all involved that this approach continues to bring us success on the pitch, as well as maintaining a great atmosphere off it."

Week 15, 13 August Today’s fixtures were preceded by a health warning. On the Thursday, the Exec. Committee put out a statement, due to Saturday’s forecast temperatures in the shade expected to exceed 30°C and potentially 35°. The League and clubs thus had a duty of care to mitigate this risk.

Among the measures offered were earlier start times, (up to two hours), reducing the number of overs (by up to 20 overs, an 103

extended interval between innings during the peak of the heat, and additional drinks breaks, not more than 45 minutes apart.

to his half century with two maximums and after two wides and a run out, he saw them home with a single off the last ball.

When the Premier divisions revert to the 50 over format, as they did today, we know we are in the season’s home straight. In their nine ‘timed’ matches, Premier leaders Potters Bar had taken 247 points out of a possible 270, with 7 wins and 2 winning draws. That seems like title winning form.

In 3a, big wins for West Herts II and Knebworth Park secured their promotion and with just seven points separating them, the fight for the title would go to the wire. For West Herts, Simon Walker dominated proceedings with an imperious 160 (24x4;1x6). Another promotion secured today was by Old Camdenians in 5A.

Except… Bar lost to Mymms today, by just one run! Mymms had scored 256-8 and Bar were behind the run rate with ten overs left, when they needed exactly 100 with only five wickets left. By the start of the 49th over things had changed and the score stood at 248-8, so nine to win. The over went: 6,1,W,W and Mymms were home.

Bar picked up 11 points but Radlett won, so the gap was reduced to just two points. At the other Accuracy! This ball went end of the table, for 6 and landed precisely Hoddesdon’s batters on one of the spikes high found some real form above the wall at Watford Town's ground. The ball, at last, as they hit retrieved many days later, 329-1, with Jayden showed the scars.

Broodryk (138*) leading the charge but it still wasn’t enough. Harpenden, who were sitting in 3rd place, squeezed home with just two balls to spare, largely thanks to Chad Barrett (130 off 99 balls) plus three half centuries and ten runs scored in the last over.

With Shenley winning and Hemel losing, those teams swapped places in the Championship race for the play-off spot, immediately below champions-elect Old Owens. Junaid Anwar, who took 5 for 18, proved to be Shenley’s match winner, while Hemel were going down to Reed, by one wicket, in the tightest of matches. In the 50th over, Reed’s no. 8, Sean Tidy, went 104

Two more big centuries to celebrate today, starting with Basil Letts of Aldenham. He contributed 146* to their total of 323-4, which was 242 too many for Chipperfield 2nds, with only one batter reaching double figures and Rajendra Chandel taking 5-8.

In 11 East, Edmonton entered the list of alltime winning margins, with their defeat of Old Minchendenians II by 324 runs. Kazim Bacchus was to the fore in the Edmonton innings, with 156.

League officer Pete Dudley reported a quirky incident when his Berkhamsted 5ths side visited Watford 5ths, which, he said, emphasises the friendly nature of matches at div. 12S level. They had just taken a Watford wicket and went into a team circle to discuss what to do next when they noticed the not out batsman standing in the circle nodding in agreement. He was asked for his thoughts, and replied: "You are bowling very well, keep going"! Which they did and won the match by 67 runs.

Week 16, 20 August It was no change at the top and bottom of the Premier and much the same in the Championship, except Shenley’s win and defeat for 3rd place Hemel meant Flitwick moved closer to the play-off place, with a match against Shenley to come a week later. Shenley’s defeat of Hitchin, by six wickets, owed everything to the bowling performance of Vibes Gadhvi. He had taken just two league wickets all season but today finished with figures of 7 for 30.

Langleybury had been fighting to get out of the relegation places and today they had their 4th win on the trot and what a scalp,

defeating top-of-the-table St Albans, by four wickets. The Saints dropped to third, as a result. The individual effort of the day in this division came from Sawbridgeworth’s Sean Black against Harpenden 2nds, with his 1st team’s first league hat-trick for six years.

Division 5B was the place for high scores today, with the teams batting first passing 300 in three of the four matches which took place and centurions in two of them.

Flamstead’s 316-8 v Ickleford 2nds was the highest and they also had the day’s top scorer in Sandaru Baddegama, whose 151 came off 131 balls. A century also for Jack Brown (113) in Clifton’s winning total of 303, against Boxmoor.

One rung lower, in 6B, the game of the day saw Old Owens II beat 3rd-place Berkhamsted II, to clinch the title, matching the achievements of their 1sts. It was close thing, however, with the last pair at the wicket and only two balls to spare.

Close finishes elsewhere included Gaddesden chasing Hoddesdon III’s total of 238-4 (Rob Harcombe 113*), in 9A, and getting home with one ball left. In 11 East, Old Owens III completed a good day for the club by scoring 254-6, which was enough for a one-run victory over Broxbourne IV. Freddie Cecil-Smith’s 115* for Broxbourne was thus in vain.

In 12 East, Southgate Compton II’s score of 400-8, in 40 overs, was an eye-opener and set up one of the highest ever margins of victory, 329 runs. But Holtwhites 4ths had only eight men, so it’s credit to them for playing the game rather than conceding.

Concessions were sadly the order of the day in 12 North, where only one match went ahead but that was the tussle between the top two. Kimpton and Lutonian III swapped places as a result of Kimpton’s convincing victory by 140 runs and in spite of six wickets for Lutonians’ Hasan Dar.

Week 17, 27 August The penultimate weekend and a few more promotion and relegation issues were settled but not the Premier title, which would go to the final match, after both

Potters Bar and Radlett won. Radlett’s defeat of Stortford was quite close, just 11 runs in it, whereas Bar’s victory margin of 88 runs was comfortable and arguably more significant, as it condemned opponents Hoddesdon to relegation.

That’s because, just above them, Welwyn in 8th place and Herford in 9th were battling against each other, and it was Hertford who earned the 25 points, by six wickets. That put Hertford just four points behind Welwyn, ahead of the final weekend, but West Herts and Stortford above them were also in danger of dropping into the relegation playoff place.

For West Herts it was a frustrating day, losing by just three runs to Harpenden. In the other Premier match, Totteridge beat Mymms in a low scoring match (111 beat 86) and the two clubs swapped places, which put Totteridge into the final place for the play-offs.

The Championship’s big game, Shenley (2nd) v Flitwick (3rd) saw a tense finish in the extreme. With Joe Lowe taking five wickets, Shenley were dismissed for a very gettable 176 but Flitwick still needed 100 runs when the sixth wicket fell. There was hope, however, so long as skipper George Thurstance (below) was still there and at this point he was on 39. Marshalling the tail like a true leader, and ignoring the carnage at the other end, including the 9th wicket going down on 164, George duly completed his century while hitting the next 15 runs to win the game, carrying his bat to finish on 112*.

The next highest score was Joe Lowe’s 12! Epic.

It was the 4th century this season for the Flitwick and Bedfordshire skipper, and his second against 105

Shenley (104* on 25 June). He would finish the season with 893 league runs.

Incidentally, just before they met back in June, Flitwick had been next to bottom of the table.

Leverstock six points behind 2nd placed Redbourn, with St Albans returning to the top after a win by five wickets over Harpenden II, led by Joe Regan with 130 off 116 balls.

Let’s stick with Flitwick but many rungs lower, because their 4ths also made headlines today, in 11 North. They rattled up 275-4 (John Bell retired on 102*) before bowling out Letchworth 5ths for just 12! Destroyer-in-chief was Flitwick’s leading lady, Holly Reeder (above) five wickets and figures of 6.2-4-3-5.

In 2A, 1st played 2nd, with Old Elizabethans, chasing down the 219-8 of leaders Chorleywood, with two wickets in hand, to set up an interesting last day, although a 19 points difference. The top two in 2B, Radlett 2nds and Lutonian, both made sure of promotion but the individual highlight was provided by Kashif Khan who bowled Lutonian to victory, with figures of 6.1-1-12-8. That rather over-shadowed his team-mate, Zahid Khan, who scored a marvellous 147.

This was quite a day for Letchworth, by their own admission. The 5th team score was the 3rd lowest league total of all time but most of the club’s other teams, below the 1sts, fared little better. Below is the club’s own Twitter contribution, that Saturday.But, as they say, they fielded five teams that day (while others were conceding).

Letchworth 1sts avoided the club’s low scoring phenomenon today, which was important as they aimed to escape the relegation zone in division one. They beat Ampthill by five wickets, and although staying 9th, they wer within13 points o the two teams above them. Another one going to the wire.

Langleybury stayed 8th but their fifth straight win was perhaps also the most memorable, beating divisional leaders Redbourn, by just two runs.

In the same division, Sawbo hosted Leverstock Green in an important match for the 3rd placed visitors, but victory for the hosts was even more memorable for Amit Gupta, who had a catch dropped first ball, took 4-46, then took over as wicketkeeper, taking two catches, before scoring 49* in a match winning 5th wicket partnership of 93*. That left 106

Rickmansworth’s Azeem Hussain took 7-31 to bowl his side to victory at Potton in 3A but that’s only half the story. Potton were dismissed for 111 today, that’s just one run less than the first fixture in June. That first meeting was also played at Potton, due to a festival on the Ricky home ground and in that game his team-mate Aamir Ishaq had taken 7-33. This must be the first time that two players have taken seven-wicket hauls on the same ground, against the same opponents, in the same league season.

Talking of great bowling, in week two we were singing the praises of the evergreen Tim Smith, for his seven wickets for Stortford 2nds. Now, two weeks from the end, he was still taking wickets in 4A, with the marvellous analysis of 7.5-4-10-6 to dismiss Southgate Adelaide for 46 and a victory by 185 runs.

He would finish the season, a week later, with 31 wickets at just 7.48, to top the divisional averages, and he took at least one wicket in every match (11 of them) he played.

In 5B, the top two met and Clifton were deposed by Mill Hill, comprehensively, bowled out for 98, with Potten End moving into 2nd, after bowling out Old Albanians II for just 47.

Among all the promotion frenzy, 22 guys still produced a great mid-table match in 6A, because it mattered to them, with Knebworth 2nds chasing Hemel 3rds total of 240-9 and winning off the last ball, thanks mainly to the Knebworth tail, after they were 142-7.

There was another clash of the top 2 in 6B, where leaders Botany Bay outscored Greenwood Park by 52 runs, in a match of more than 500 runs. The win was largely built on another outstanding performance

by Botany’s Kasey Harris, whose 169 came off 149 balls (21x4; 5x6). Next highest score – 31!

At this critical time of the season, top two clashes provide perfect entertainment and there were three more to savour.

In 8A, 2nd place Pinner overwhelmed leaders Aldenham, by 199 runs. Aldenham were missing a few regulars but Bhavie Raiyarela, with 6 for 12, proved the Pinner match-winner, after the batters had done their bit. Preston 3rds, top of 9B, were similarly convincing in beating nearest rivals Cheshunt, by eight wickets, which made Preston champions, while Cheshunt dropped to 4th. The third big clash came in 10 North, and another win for the 2nd place team, with Markyate defending 141-9 and then bowling out Tewin for just 73, to go top. It was a big moment for Markyate, who had been battling the deduction of 60 points at the start of the season, for the lack of a Safeguarding Officer. Markyate had lost only one match all season, against Tewin, back in June.

Week 18, 3 September As we reach the season’s climax, in this year of record temperatures and drought, it was fitting that the weather had the final say. It rained! Not enough to wipe out too many fixtures but it ruined the climax in the Premier. Potters Bar, ahead of Radlett by two points, visited Cobden Hill and had reached 104-6 in the 37th over, when the rain swept in. When it stopped, they tried to get a result, with Radlett beginning their innings in late afternoon, as time had run out for Bar’s batters. After a couple of overs, however, the umpires decided conditions were unsafe, so called an end to proceedings – leaving Potters Bar as champions! Harpenden and Totteridge joined those two in the last-ever play-offs.

With Old Owens winning the Championship, the town of Potters Bar certainly seems to be the powerhouse of Hertfordshire cricket, currently.

At the foot of the table, Hoddesdon were already down and defeats for both Hertford and Welwyn left the former facing the relegation play off, by a margin of just six points. But who would they play?

Shenley’s seven point margin over Flitwick, with Hemel a further four points behind, became irrelevant as Shenley beat Reed by eight wickets (five wickets for Fahim Akbar) to secure 2nd place. Flitwick and Hemel also won but in vain. For Flitwick, George Thurstance continued his great form, scoring another 71, to take his total for the season in the League to 893 runs.

For George it was also the end of an era, and the same at Hemel for Nick Hodgins, with both highly respected captains retiring (see article).

Among all these important matches, there was one nail-biter which ended in memorable low-scoring tie. Old Finchleians, already promoted Most of the big games over the final few weeks are about as champions of 3B, competing for trophies and pennants, presented at Saracens took on Welwyn 2nds but they were both bowled out for 96, with the outstanding player being Paul Woolley’s, who took 6-32 for Welwyn.

Similar to the Championship, the top two in division one also won, so St Albans and Redbourn went up, while there was a shuffle at the foot of the table, with Letchworth 107

beating 3rd place Leverstock, to overtake Harpenden 2nds, beaten by Redbourn.

Langleybury, in 8th place, also lost but crucially earned 13 points, against Harpenden’s nine, meaning Langleybury survived with a total of 340 points, against Harpenden’s 337! Harpenden II had also suffered a 5 points penalty for failing to provide facilities marks after one game in August. How costly was that!

the won 7, lost 8 record of Broxbourne IV who finished top. The reason was massive fines, totalling 150 points, for having no Safeguarding Officer early in the season.

Pinner duly held off Aldenham to win 8A and were particularly singing the praises of left arm spinner, Bhavie Raiyarela. Six wickets last week and now another five today meant he’d taken 20 wickets at an average of 3, since joining the club in midseason. Another champion team worthy of a mention is Hemel 4ths, whose success in 9A was centred on three Under 15 players, Callum Humphrey (24 wkts), Jacob Hodgins (also 24 wkts), whilst Max Clark (291 runs and a consistent run-scorer at number 4).

Elsewhere, among the more exciting happenings on this final Saturday, the bottom of 3A shredded a few nerves, with just 12 points separating Potton in 4th place and North Enfield in 9th, and those two teams played each other, while Datchworth were 10th and last, a further 12 The only other division to see a change points behind.

That’s 1,280 hard earned points thrown away!

Nothing much to play for in 3B but a sad day, as it turned out to be the last league match for Parkfield & Headstone (and their 2nds in 10 South).

They were losing their ground and unable to continue.

Another team to suffer through penalties but slightly less seriously, was Lutonians in 2B. They finished 2nd and missed out on the title by just one point but had been fined 25 points, during the season, for team sheet transgressions.

Also costly were Edmonton’s penalty points in 11 East. The team boasted a perfect record, played 14, won 14, compared to 108

on an average points system, the three teams were finally separated by 0.36 points.

As for action on the field, the rain was a limiting factor but Old Owens II, new champions of 6A, were involved in a thriller, scoring 192-8 against Letchworth 3rds, who replied with 192-4, for a tie.

Finally, one player to mention, is Nathan Derrick of Baldock 3rds (left). He scored 156* today, against Hitchin 5ths.

Play-cricket.com tells us that Nathan only played six league matches and scored 50+ in

five of them! 408 runs at an average of 136 but sadly not enough innings to qualify for the averages.

a liquid award after scoring a record six centuries that season.

Another season done and dusted, which is probably an appropriate term, given the weather for most of the time.

For the highest average of all, however, you have to look at 10 South where Kieran Jones of North Enfield II, finished with 173.2 over his 12 innings (7 not outs).

Leading Players Some of the stand-out features include the consistency of the leading batters in the Premier, with all the top 10 averaging more than 50. Remarkably, half of that top ten play for Radlett.

Totteridge may have finished only 4th but they had the top batter and bowler, in Simon Webster and Sam Smith.

In contrast to the Premier, the Championship had only one player with a 50+ average and that was Flitwick’s George Thurstance, who averaged almost 75.

Also in the Championship, evidence that bowlers win matches came at champions Old Owens, whose bowlers filled the top four places, with a further one in the top 10. Those five had a combined haul of 133 wickets.

Very few batters can average over 100 in a season but David Murphy (left) managed it for St Margaretsbury, after scoring 848 runs. Seven not outs in 15 innings helped, resulting in an average of more than 121. ‘Bury also had the top bowler in Joe O’Gorman (left).

Another batter averaging over 100, was Kasey Harris with 1262 runs which helped Botany Bay to win the title in 6B. This puts him 2nd in the list for runs scored in a League Season at any level.

His picture (left) was taken a year ago, with

There’s no league table for top fielders but play-cricket.com shows Hertford’s Hugh Cavener took 21 catches in the League (31 in all matches, as pictured), followed closely

by Simon Walker of West Herts (20).

Hugh’s ‘haul’ included four against Stortford on 13 August. Top Herts wicket-keepers on play-cricket.com were Potters Bar’s James Seward with 34 catches and 9 stumpings, just ahead of Shenley’s Will Thomson with 32 and 7.

The leading averages start on page 118, with a full list on the website

Post season updates The champions of 7B were decided in the committee room, rather than on the field.

That was the result of a serious disciplinary issue with Little Berkhamsted Sahibs. Their final match was declared void and after sitting on top of the division for several weeks, they were subsequently demoted to 8A for the 2023 season. Southgate Adelaide 2nds and West Herts 3rds, separated by a single point, moved up instead.

Teams withdrawn during the season: Langleybury IV, Baldock IV, Hoddesdon V. Plus Bushey 1st, 2nd & 3rd XI Post-season withdrawals: Edmonton, Parkfield & Headstone, Tye Green.

Teams in division one and 3B, visiting both of Chorleywood's newly promoted teams, can look forward to experiencing the club's new pavilion 109

Radlett triumph Potters Bar fell short in search of an unprecedented treble in the last ever play-off final.

Both sides were below full strength but, batting first, Bar’s Steve Gale and Rishi Patel started well, putting on 50 in 62 balls only for the team to subside, losing 7 wickets for 39 in 75 balls. The tail garnered 44 runs but the target was only 161.

Steve Gale dislocated and broke a finger in the second over as Josh de Caires and Dom Chatfield set up the run chase. Kabir Toor arrived on the dismissal of de Caires and although three wickets went down quickly, leaving Radlett 98 for 4.

Toor batted magnificently and eased to 50 in 89 balls. With Will Wright, he took the game away from Bar, in a partnership of 69 in 77 balls to see Radlett home, with six wickets and 25 balls to spare. Toor finished on 65 not out and Wright on 25 not out.

Potters Bar Lift T20 Cup

Potters Bar won the Herts T20 cup for the second time in four years in a wonderful final at Hertford.

Hoddesdon, fresh from a semi-final victory over Radlett, got off to a flier.

The first six-over powerplay saw them reach 47 for 0 then, for the 2nd wicket, Shekleton and Broodryk, put on 50 in 32 balls. The 100 came up in the 13th over.

Broodryk holed out for 83 off 53 balls but Hoddesdon were constrained towards the end, hitting just one boundary in the last 18 balls, so finished on 167 for 4.

Bar’s reply started badly at 1 for 1, but Charlie Scott and Steve Gale changed the game, putting on 50 in just 26 balls.

Bar thought they had the game won at 120 for 2 with seven overs left but Gale was well pouched for 49, the pair having put on 95 in 61 balls. Soon it was 156 for 7 and Bar needed 12 off 7 balls, then 5 off 3. James Seward then glanced a tired Matt Varner delivery past short fine leg for 4 and a scrambled leg bye saw Bar home with one ball to spare.

Potters Bar went forward to the Vitality Club T20 regional finals, at Hornchurch but lost to the hosts by just two runs in the semi-final. Hornchurch 150 for 5 (20) beat Potters Bar 148 for 5 (20).

Readers T20 Trophy Finals 21 August 2022 T/20 Trophy Semi-Finals:

Berkhamsted 114 (17.4) Letchworth Garden City 115 - 1 (14.4) LETCHWORTH GC WON BY 9 WICKETS Redbourn 92 (15.4) Watford Town 93 - 6 (13.4) WATFORD TOWN WON BY 4 WICKETS

Final:

Letchworth Garden City 181 - 4 (20) Watford Town 182 - 9 (19.1) WATFORD TOWN WON BY 1 WICKET

Watford Town secured the Herts T20 Trophy in dramatic style at Redbourn.

Needing to score an unlikely 182 to overhaul Letchworth’s challenging total, they reached the target in the last over, with the last pair at the crease. This followed a convincing victory over host club Redbourn, in the earlier semi-final.

Letchworth had shown their quality in the first semi-final, crushing Berkhamsted by nine wickets. Their overseas star, Christy O’Brien, had top-scored with 69 in that match and the Kiwi was soon into his stride in the final, putting on 90 runs with David Sprittles for the 2nd wicket, in just 10 overs.

When O’Brien fell to a great catch, he had smashed 81, including eight 4s and five 6s. The run-rate slowed with his departure but with Sprittles reaching 51 not out, the Watford batters still faced the challenge of scoring at more than nine runs an over to secure the silverware.

Openers Farhan Hussain and Asad Sajjad took the 116

fight to Letchworth in dramatic fashion, blazing 69 off the first four overs to give their team the belief that victory was possible. After Farhan went, three of the next four batsman fell without scoring but Asad batted brilliantly, scoring 49 off 24 balls. When he was 7th out, Watford still needed 75 to win, although with 10 overs in hand, there was plenty of time.

Syed Ali (33 off 21 balls) and Haseeb Khan (22 off 15 balls) took the team 48 runs closer to their target and within sight of victory. Syed’s effort was remarkable, batting through the pain of a serious hand injury, suffered when fielding.

The fall of the ninth wicket, with the score on 174, set up the dramatic conclusion and at the start of the 20th and final over they needed just one run to win.

Off the first ball, Sheikh drove the ball straight at the mid-off fielder, who inexplicably dropped the catch, allowing the single which sealed victory, sparking a mini pitch invasion the triumphant team

T20 Big Bash The highlight of the group stages of the T20 Trophy was the performance of Berkhamsted, against neighbours Northchurch. Berko batted first and in 20 overs scored an astonishing 274-0!

Charlie Doe 132* and Kasjuan Sullivan 121*. Northchurch scored 128-7 in reply.

Two legends hand over Two of our leading clubs in the Championship, Flitwick and Hemel,

will take the field under new 1st team captains, after their legendary skippers decided to stand down at the end of the 2022 season.George Thurstance had nine seasons at the helm at Flitwick and led the club by example, having scored 5,716 runs in the Championship at an average of almost 50. He scored an exceptional 20 centuries, with a number of those coming in matches that really mattered.

His astute captaincy will be missed but his brother, Harry, will undoubtedly try and maintain the family standard. George will continue to add to his tally of runs and contribute to the club’s progress, and retains the captaincy of Bedfordshire.

Harry will become just the 7th different Fliwick Saturday captain since 1985 – this consistency and dedication has proved significant in the ongoing progression and growth of the club. 2022 was Flitwick’s 25th season in the Herts League, during which time their various teams have earned 24 promotions and suffered 0 relegations. A proud record.

Further down the M1, Nick Hodgins has retired as 1st XI captain after two spells, from 2009-10 and 2017-22. Since joining the Club in 2006, Nick played in 210 matches, taking a club record 406 wickets at average of 16.55, including 24 five-wicket hauls. His best was 7-42 v West Herts in 2010. He has also been handy with the bat, scoring 2,483 runs at average of 21.41, including six half centuries. His highest score was 74* also against West Herts, in 2012. As with Flitwick, there is a strong family connection and Nick has skippered teams which included two of his sons, Lewis and Will. Nick is universally respected across the county and has been a great ambassador for both the Club and the League. He will remain at the club, developing young cricketers and mentoring older ones.

The Premier Division ceased to exist in October 2001 when the top-flight clubs voted to play under the full auspices of the Home Counties Premier Cricket League, forming Division Two (East) of that competition.

All clubs returned to the Hertfordshire League in 2014 to form a Premier Division and Championship. Their records are shown below.
