A Message from our President Dear all cricket lovers As I pen these words it is approaching the middle of March and we are in the midst of probably one of the biggest deluge of rain that I've ever experienced, and I hope very much by the time you read these words that we will have metamorphosised into a beautiful warm summer to come.

A league like ours, maybe the largest in the country, doesn't just happen, so I did want to pay tribute to Tony Johnson and the long serving other members of the committee all of whom have done a fantastic job over so many years, to make this a great league.

Without them it wouldn't happen.

But to everyone else, players, officials, mums and dads, the youngsters...Here’s to a wonderful summer of great fun and great cricket.

Very best wishes Nigel Wray

Catches win matches. Our great cover picture was just one of ten catches by North Mymms skipper, Nesan Jeyaratnam, last season but he did much more, especially towards the end of the season. In the final four games he scored two half-centuries and two tons. He didn't want the season to end! To accompany his century in the final match, he starred in the field with four catches.

He scored nearly 500 runs in league matches, helping Mymms to a mid-table finish in the Premier division.

A word also for Ross Murphy of Hertford who featured on the front cover of the 2023 handbook. It was sad to hear that he suffered a serious knee injury, while playing rugby, which required surgery. As a result, he didn't play at all last season but still contributed by scoring for the 2nd team in several games. It is good to report that his fitness is such that he's looking forward to bowling again in the 2024 season.

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 2024 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

Welcome to you all as we move into our next year of league cricket in Hertfordshire.

The current weather outlook suggests the Atlantic might be responsible for another wet start to our season but it’s only mid-March as I write, so let’s hope that the jet stream does us a favour and varies its path. This might give our groundstaff a chance to do their best, while preparing our grounds for play to start in late April.

Some of you will remember that, ten years ago, we broke the link with the Home Counties League and brought our top twenty teams back into our current League. It took a further year to be awarded Premier League status by the ECB, when we switched from divisions of twenty to ten, and started playing matches in both timed and limited overs formats. Since then, there have been many other changes to the structure reflecting the views of players and administrators, and that process continues for 2024.

The detailed and thoughtful report on the 2023 season from Barry Hellewell follows on page 80 of this handbook and highlights a number of points which we would do well to take on board. ‘No change’ is not an option as the cricket landscape continues to evolve in line with changes in society and how our governing bodies interpret those changes. Let me update you on some of the projects we are offering this year, to heighten your interest in the season and into the winter.

We welcome three new clubs for the coming season, namely Eaton Bray, Ley Hill and a lower XI from Enfield CC, and they will be playing in the revamped Regional Divisions section of the League which now starts at Division 7 East. Those divisions will now be playing 40-40 over matches staring at 1pm, signalling the move to shorter matches for more teams in the lower divisions, as voted through in February.

The seeded T20 Sunday competition for division one and below, runs again this year, although the numbers participating continue to drop. It appears that more clubs now have other options for their Sundays, such as either established friendly matches, or allowing other clubs to use their ground, so we will therefore review its future in the Autumn..

For the winter period, we have introduced an indoor cricket competition for the first time in the modern era, after an expression of interest from a good number of clubs. We hope that this might stimulate player interest, as well as encouraging more clubs to stay in contact throughout the year.

The growing success of We are entering our 25th season with Saracens, all thanks to Nigel Wray.

This is where the sponsorship was announced, on the pitch at Vicarage women and girls’ cricket Road, Watford, which was then Saracens home ground. around the world has 8

sparked serious interest from those of our clubs already running women and girls’ teams, who wish to form a Sunday League primarily based in Hertfordshire. Currently, the objective is to have it ready to operate in 2025. This promises to widen the interest among other clubs looking to join a structure that requires less travel and helps to develop a stronger and more diverse club.

In terms of the League’s administration, the management team has been refreshed with a change to the Finance team. Ross McCaskill has retired as Treasurer due to work pressures, and we thank him for his six years in the role. Anthony Levy has taken his place as Treasurer with the help of Hilary Stiffin as his deputy, and they have done a superb job in clearing the accounting backlog and will take us forward with our now fully operational accounting software. We have also added an extra member, Dominic Chatfield (pictured right), to the Committee who will strengthen our link with Herts Cricket Ltd and be a potential source of help for clubs with queries on topics such as ClubMark and other County matters.

Our website is undergoing a major overhaul thanks to Richard Mason, and its development will help to keep it in line with the systems required these days for compliance purposes.

Richard has also set up a podcast called Herts and Minds, which is hosted on Spotify throughout the year and includes interviews with special guests.

Winter training courses for umpires and scorers will hopefully generate more recruits for clubs and the panel. As ever, this has been an important part of pre-season training of our new officials, without whom we and you will struggle to manage your matches. This season, we are showing our support for both disciplines by supplying branded clothing in the form of blousons or gilets for umpires and 50 long-sleeved club jackets for scorers I mentioned earlier the situation with our financial control changes which show us to be in a strong position going forward, and we are so fortunate to have our two prime sponsors in Nigel Wray with Saracens and Neil Pullen at Kookaburra Readers with their continued backing for well over 20 years and to whom we owe so much. Covid interrupted our plans with projects to provide clubs with branded products or services, but that is back on the agenda. Our grateful thanks go from all our clubs to Nigel and Neil for their extraordinary level of support to our League.

For two reasons, we intend to organise four regional meetings for clubs around the County during the summer The President's Trophy for 'Club of months. The first reason is to review the status quo with the Year' 2022 went to West Herts. a view to hearing what you think we should consider It was presented by the Chairman to the club's President, Craig Sanders at changing; and the second is to establish where the next the 2023 captains meeting.

Executive Committee members will come from. The mantra is to focus on succession planning, and as a Premier League, the ECB and others are expecting change in the next one or two years. So please speak up if you want a say in how we play league cricket in Hertfordshire and beyond.

Finally, I express my thanks in particular to the current members of our hard-working Executive and its many sub-committees. Also to the myriad of volunteers who, behind the scenes, run your clubs and who will soon disappear if you take them for granted.

My best wishes for a successful 2024.

Officials recognised

Jerry!) and apply aspects of advice to future games. Rose has also made notable progress in the Men’s game and she has been appointed to games in the Premier Division of the Herts League, where she made a very positive impact. (See article opposite)

All of our umpires and scorers deserve an award for their skill, patience, loyalty and, in many cases, longevity. At the end of 2023, our Hertfordshire Association of Cricket Officials recognised three of their members and we pay tribute to them here, with their HACO citations: Rose Dovey: Rose began her umpiring career relatively recently. Coming from a highly qualified cricketing background, Rose has consistently demonstrated an excellent knowledge and understanding of the game, which has benefited her as an umpire.

She has also been very willing to listen to and discuss feedback from developers and senior colleagues (including her husband,

Mark Shepherd: For many years Mark has been highly regarded as a scorer for Potters Bar. His club is very fortunate to have Mark within their ranks as his roles extend well beyond the scorebox, e.g. as match administrator. Mark’s expertise has been suitably recognised at both county and international level, having gained scoring and scoreboard operator appointments to a variety of matches in 2023, including at Lord’s and the Oval. As his Tweets, below, show, he enjoyed views of these grounds which few of us will ever experience.

John Sweedy: John’s umpiring career goes back well over 20 years, initially on the panel of the Home Counties Premier League and now with the Herts League. Premier League umpiring is, however, just a small part of his work. He has been HACO Appointment Officer for many years, supplying umpires to schools, county age groups, national cup competitions and many more. He has regularly included himself in these appointments, often at short notice, with no regard to the level of the game. John’s “I’ll do it” attitude and his talents as an umpire are exemplary and much appreciated by all who benefit from his work.

Mark Shepherd, scorer, tweeted his 'view from Right: John Sweedy, the scorebox' at both Lord's and the Oval.

Rose wins President’s Award

Within montths of receiving her HACO award, Rose Dovey was bestowed with the Herts County Association President's special award, announced

by James Wright at the AGM of the HCCA. James described Rose as one of our outstanding umpires, whose abilities have taken her far beyond this county’s boundaries. His appreciation of all that Rose has achieved, was spelt out in a summary of her career.

The President began by reminding members that Rose Dovey (née Fernando) was a Sri Lankan cricketer who played one Test match (in 1998) and 37 limited-over matches, taking 43 wickets.

Her bowling average of 14.41 is the lowest of any Sri Lankan female bowler and only four female bowlers in international limited overs cricket have a better average.

Rose came to the UK in 2015 and played for Hertfordshire Women in that year. She retired from playing in 2019 and became a qualified umpire. One early highlight in her new ‘career’, was standing with her husband, Jerry, in a Herts League match. Her marks were good and she was put forward by the Hertfordshire ACO to umpire some Sunrisers Academy games and Hertfordshire

Women’s and age group county games. Her rapid rise in 2022 saw her standing in her first professional match, Sunrisers v Loughborough Lightning, at Chelmsford.

In 2023, as well as umpiring Herts League matches, she officiated in all the major domestic women’s competitions the Hundred, the Charlotte Edwards Cup (including finals day) and the Rachel Heyhoe Flint Trophy (again including the final).

Other highlights included a three-day Ashes warm up game, at Derby, and the Premier Disability final.

These games have taken her to Lord’s, and the majority of our first-class county grounds.

Some of her matches were broadcast live on Sky TV and Rose said that one of the most nervewracking was her first one, at Cardiff, where there was a big crowd and the match went to the last ball of the last over at the end she was standing.

As James said in his citation: "Rose should be very proud of her achievements as Rose in the spotight.

From leading out teams should the Hertfordshire at Lord's and on TV, Association of Cricket to officiating in Herts Officials who helped her League matches. on her path."

From Herts League to England call-ups

For three different cricketers with Hertfordshire League heritage leading to national recognition, 2023 was a milestone year.

Their stories have added interest because they represent almost three generations of cricketers.

Roland Butcher was 70 last year when he also made a huge contribution to the development of cricket in his native Barbados, by helping to launch the country’s first ever all-girls cricket club.

He is a director of the club and, for good measure, is also a selector on the West Indies Senior Men’s and Youth Panels. Roland is a former Stevenage player.

Steven Finn, aged 34, decided to call time on his marvellous career, after injuries took their toll. Finny took 125 Test wickets and 129 ODI/T20 wickets for England. After learning the basics by watching has dad bowling at Watford Town, he developed his skills at Langleybury, then widened his experience at West Herts, around the time he was being signed up by Middlesex.

Rishi Patel, aged 25, scored 1,000 First Class runs for Leicestershire last season and helped his county to win a one-day competition (the Metro Bank Cup) for the first time in 38 years.

These exploits put Rishi on the radar of the England selectors, who gave him a place in the England Lions training camp in the United Arab Emirates. For the last three years Rishi has played for Potters Bar, back-to back Herts League Champions.

Roland Butcher

Right: The teenage Roland in the Stevenage team

I was able to meet and chat with Roland Butcher in Barbados (no, not an all-expenses paid trip!) in December. He was providing commentary for the live streaming of some local matches which were interesting in their own right. A T10 (yes, 10 overs a side) tournament, taking place over 4 weeks, two matches each day/. All sponsored by an Indian company which streams matches to that country, to provide betting opportunities.

I asked Roland to cast his memory back more than 50 years, when he left Barbados to join his Windrush-generation parents in 12

Stevenage. How did he get into the local club’s set-up? He recalls playing more casual football than cricket but joined in with an impromptu cricket match in the park which led to some Stevenage players encouraging him to join their club.

He turned out for Stevenage 3rds as a 13 year-old before gravitating into the 2nd XI. By the time he was 15 he was playing in the 1st team and representing North Hertfordshire Schools.

He remembers fondly the people who helped him to improve his skills, and to develop as a person. Chief among these was Cyril Hammond, who also helped Roland with his football before moving to Gloucestershire where he persuaded the county club to take a look at Roland, who thus moved down there for a couple of summers. Andy Stovold and David Graveney were among his peers.

Back at Stevenage CC, Pete Allen and Harold Woods became a major influence on young Roland and helped him to reach a level that enabled him to join the MCC Young Cricketers, alongside Ian Botham. After that, he was signed by Middlesex, helping them to win six County Championships and six oneday titles but the highlight was being selected to play for England in 1980, the first black player to represent his adopted country.

Since those heady days, Roland has remained one of the game’s true trailblazers, providing opportunities for young people from all backgrounds across the UK and

Caribbean. That’s because he says he feels indebted to the kindness of the people who enabled him to achieve his own cricket ambitions.

He is patron of the ACE programme, the Surrey initiative to stop the decline in the numbers of black British professional players by engaging young people of African and Caribbean Heritage. The newly launched Barbados Royals Girls Club is groundbreaking and has been made possible through the ‘Bat for a Chance’ charity where Roland is an Ambassador (See article on page 15) At a time he should be thinking about full retirement, Roland is busier than ever, especially as a sports consultant. That includes running the Roland Butcher Cricket Academy which, he says, places as much emphasis social and emotional development as on correct techniques.

“I have picked up on things which were important to me as a youngster and now I want to help in shaping the lives of young people,” he said.

Steven Finn

Above: Finny the 10 year old, on the Vicarage Road pitch, when Saracens presented their first sponsorship cheque to Left: Finny the England player. the Herts League in 2000.

Last August, Steven Finn, a three-time Ashes series winner, called time on his 18-year professional career, following a number of injuries. In his announcement, he said that he had been fighting a battle with his body for the previous 12 months and finally had to admit defeat to it. He said he retired with some amazing memories with England, Middlesex and Sussex, shared with fantastic people.

He thanked all the people who had followed and supported his career, especially his parents who allowed him to chase his dream when he was a youngster. That dream was nurtured on the cricket grounds of the Herts League.

He remembers being pushed around Watford Town’s ground by mum Diana, while dad Terry was bowling, and, he believes, that’s where his passion and love for the game came from. He also took many of his values from those formative years, especially watching Watford Town winning together and losing together, as a club.

On his path through youth cricket it was the help from individuals which prepared him for all that was to follow. “It is only when you are older and slightly wiser that you realise what these people have sacrificed to make it possible for you to learn the game,” he says.

“Some of the fondest memories of my life are from going down to Langleybury on a Sunday morning and being able to practise cricket with my friends. I remember being coached

by Eddie Gunning, Lee Kirby and David Williams from the age of 8 through to playing in the first team when I was 14/15. Honing the basic skills of the game in a fun way that gave all of us a solid foundation from which to explore and learn the game.”

“The importance of the people who teach children the fundamental skills of the game can be underestimated. I know that because I was taught well when I was younger and I was able to adapt and create my own style around that. Without the basic skills, there is no foundation to work with.”

He says that playing 1st XI club cricket at 14/15 years old, meant he had to learn quickly. He was competing against men who were stronger, more experienced and better cricketers, which made him a better player and better equipped to handle pressure.

It was just the start, however, and as an 18 year-old he decided to make a switch to West Herts in 2007. This was driven by the need to play the highest level of cricket available in the area. Here he was thrown into matches with and against ex-professionals, excellent minor county cricketers and guys who had been consistently successful in club cricket.

Middlesex and England contracts followed soon after.

Looking back, Steven says: “I’m a big believer in letting young players play, make mistakes and learn from them. That is the best and most effective way of learning and club cricket in Hertfordshire is definitely a place where young players can do this.”

Rishi Patel

the team but my continued form and they understand and appreciate the bigger picture.

"That’s not always the case with club cricket and they put no adverse pressure on me to play and perform” His clubmates say his talents are obvious and he has been outstanding both on and off the field. Everyone at the club is proud of his success and see a bright future at the very top of the game.

There was some evidence of the benefits of his Herts League experience in 2023, which turned out to be a stellar season for Rishi.

Rishi - The youngster and the Potters Bar player

Rishi Patel came late to the Herts League, having learned his cricket across the Essex border, at Ilford and then Brentwood.

He was only four years old when he first started training, at Ilford Cricket School in east London. He tried all sports but really enjoyed cricket and that’s where he concentrated. Joe Hussain, the father of Nasser, noticed that Rishi was able to bowl spin as well as being a capable batter, so took him under his wing, both in training and as adviser to his parents on his development.

He played for Essex at the age of 9 and scored his first century for school in a T 20 match at the age of 10. He always played two years above his age group both in club and school cricket.

He will be entering into his fourth season at Potters Bar in 2024, having moved there to get premier league cricket alongside his county commitments at Leicestershire.

Speaking about his Herts League experience, Rishi said: "Club cricket at Potters Bar has helped me by playing competitive league cricket but in a relaxed atmosphere with a good group of players and a well-run team.

"The club understand that I can only play a certain amount of times a season and make it easy for me fit in to the eleven, not just for 14

After taking himself off to India, to improve his technique against spin, his hard work paid dividends back in England, hitting over 1,000 First Class runs for Leicestershire, including four centuries and three 50s. His top score was a mammoth 179 against Glamorgan.

Ironically, within days of achieving his highest first-class score, Rishi lined up for Potters Bar, at home to West Herts, and was bamboozled by the slow left arm of Ian Gurney. LBW for one!

Another big score for Leicestershire, 161, came in the Metro Bank Cup against Lancashire, while in the shortest format of the game he memorably scored 104 against Durham, off just 49 balls.

His form was noticed by the ECB and, alongside team-mate Rehan Ahmed, Rishi was selected for England Lions’ training camp in the UAE in November. The pair formed part of a 21-player group which focussed predominantly on developing their red-ball skills.

The camp aimed to understand the depth of England’s pathway whilst providing developmental experiences for high-potential players closely aligned to England’s future needs.

The England Lions call-up came meant a double for the Herts League, with Radlett’s Josh de Caires also getting the nod, mainly after his bowling performances for Middlesex.

As the icing on the cake, Rishi was given a contract extension by Leicestershire, where he also gathered three of the main player awards for the 2023 season.

Memorable moments

While our three international players with Herts League links saw 2023 as a milestone year, each recorded a memorable moment during the year.

For Roland Butcher there was a special moment in December, in Trinidad, when the England Men’s team presented him with his Three Lions pin badge. The badge signifies the team’s desire to connect with players who have worn the Three Lions before them.

It’s more than a presentation, however, as the squad is addressed by the recipient, to understand his experiences.

The players heard how Roland’s remarkable life story encapsulates the culture the England Men’s dressing room has sought to establish, based around three core values courage, respect and unity.

For Rishi Patel, his memorable moment came at Leicestershire’s end-ofseason dinner, where he scooped three awards. He took home the Livingston Cup for Batter of the Year after scoring more than 1,700 runs and becoming the first Leicestershire player to record a century in all three formats in the same year. His outstanding performances also saw him win Fans’ Player of the Year, and Players’ Player following a unanimous vote by his peers. In the fans' vote he was up againt Peter Handscomb, 1,200 runs, and Tom Scriven, 62 wickets.

Bat for a Chance

One of Roland Butcher’s great passions these days is a global charity called Bat for a Chance. He is an ambassador in the Caribbean for this initiative set up in the UK by youngster, Will Gaffney. The charity aims to help underprivileged children experience the joy of cricket. They collect and source clothing and equipment, both new and high-quality second hand, for dispatch to schools, clubs and academies all around the world.

Will, a keen grassroots and village cricketer, set up Bat For A Chance from his bedroom

Steven Finn's big moment was somewhat different.

His development into a fine broadcaster became evident during the year, both on TV and radio. BBC’s Test Match Special is a legendary radio programme and he was a member of their team in India, for the ICC Men’s World Cup. When out for dinner, one evening, who should he run into but Mick Jagger.

The Rolling Stone is a huge cricket fan and did watch some matches while he was in India on a get-away break.

Finny was quick to record the meeting on his social media.

We don't know if Mick 'liked' it!

having come up with the idea when he was just 15. He wanted to help underprivileged kids around the world experience the joy of the sport after a cricket tour to Sri Lanka. He said: “I have been fortunate enough to play cricket in fantastic locations but doing this opened my eyes to how fortunate I am and how poor others’ equipment is at times. “I also saw how much these children relied on the sport and how much it did for them.”

Your club can help by donating unused or second-hand cricket clothing and equipment.

Jake raises funds and spirits

When a water main burst in Clifton’s clubhouse, ahead of the 2023 season, the wooden building was flooded and it was rendered unusable. A shattering experience. To keep cricket running, the club installed temporary buildings for toilets and ensured services such as water and electricity were available.

The committee realised that the necessary repairs would be expensive and the insurance claim was a long discussion, so how would they pay for all the necessary work to return the pavilion to full working order? Step forward 13 year-old Jake Edwards.

With many fund-raising ideas under discussion, he got on his bike, literally, and did something about it. He decided to undertake a sponsored ride, covering some 40 miles, across Central Bedfordshire, stopping at local cricket clubs on the way.

His first goal was to raise lots of money but his initiative was an ideal fit with his participation in the ‘Young Leaders in Cricket’ programme, which aims to teach young players about every aspect of the game. It is a voluntary scheme designed to give participants the opportunity to use their knowledge of cricket to develop their leadership and life skills.

As part of this, before the disaster, Jake and his dad were thinking of ways they could fund-raise for the club. A barbecue or selling ice creams, were their favourite ideas but with the clubhouse out of use, those wouldn’t have been possible. That’s when they came up with the bike ride initiative.

Supported by his father, Andy, he spent Saturday 13 May on the road and it was well worth it – to the tune of £1,050. On his ride, starting at Clifton, Jake and his supporters visited the cricket clubs at Langford, Caldecote, Ickwell, Old Warden, Ampthill, Flitwick, Harlington and Henlow Daniel Good, Chairman of Clifton, said: “Jake did a wonderful job, leading from the front in our fund-raising efforts. We will continue fund raising to provide a pavilion that will outlast any of the current committee and provide cricket in our village for decades to come.”

So how did Jake feel after his exploits? He said: “The ride itself took a lot out of me, especially the last 5 miles coming back into Lower Stondon. I don't think the pizza we stopped for helped either but I managed to push through and make it back to Clifton.”

Ed Takes All 10

The list of Herts League bowlers who have taken all 10 wickets in an innings, since 1994, was an exclusive group of 16 players (see page 113). Make that 17 now, with the addition of Preston’s Ed Wharton. He cleaned up Dunstable 1sts on 1 July, in an analysis of 19.2 overs-8 maidens-44 runs-10 wickets. In the Championship game, he took his side to a comprehensive victory by 177 runs, with Dunstable dismissed for 102.

Ed owed much to the fielding skill of his team-mates, with nine of the wickets falling to catches, The other one was LBW. The writing was on the wall for Dunstable at the tea interval when they were 69-5 but the break didn’t interrupt Ed’s rhythm and he picked another in his first over of the last session. A wicket in his 18th over, then two in his 19th, all with the score stuck on 86, meant he didn’t have too long to think about the enormity of the occasion. Some late hitting by Wes Hosking took the score past 100, before, two balls into Ed’s 20th over, Robert Simkins nudged the ball into the safe hands of George Biggs at short-leg and the history books had a new entry.

Ed is in his second spell at Preston, returning there three years ago, after a few seasons with Hornsey and Reed. He says it’s the club he loves, both because of the way it is run and its one-club feel, where everyone is interested in how everyone else has got on. We asked Ed for his recollections about the day.

Did you start to think about the possibility of taking all 10 at any stage and did that affect the way you bowled?

I think the first real point I thought I could potentially get all 10 wickets was after the 8th. In terms of the way I bowled, nothing really changed, having bowled straight through, I think my main focus was just trying to get to the crease. It was one of those days that you just seem to have the ball on a string and moving it just enough to find the edge but not too much to keep beating it.

Can you pinpoint why it all went so well?

I just seemed to be able to bowl nearly every ball where I wanted and got just right amount of movement in the air and off the pitch. The weather was warm and sunny that day. I weirdly seem to perform better when it’s hot rather than cloudy and overcast! We scored nearly 280, then put pressure on Dunstable in the field. Bowling as a team really helped, making it very difficult for them to score or build partnerships. In honest truth, how the other bowlers didn’t get a wicket that day, I’ll never know.

9 of the 10 were caught, so what do you want to say about the team's fielding performance?

The fielding was immense. It’s something we’ve been working on as a team and that day almost every catch stuck. This contributed to me bowling well that day.

When running in to bowl, knowing that if you find the edge your team-mate will catch it, just gives you that extra bit of confidence. I’ll forever be thankful to my teammates that day for taking those catches and however proud I am for taking 10 wickets, I think the best part was to do it with my best mates on the pitch and those watching that day.

Have you ever come close to 10 before?

No never, my previous best was 6-37 playing for Beds U17 v Bucks. I’ve had a few 6-fers but never more. The skipper tried to take me off after I had got 6 Dunstable wickets and bowled 16 overs, to which I responded with something along the lines of “no chance”!

Hertfordshire’s ‘Test Match’

One week after the Herts League season ended, with the weather warming up nicely, two of our established clubs agreed to play a ‘Test match’. Well, almost. In fact it was a four innings match played over two successive days. It’s an established format in Australia, usually over two successive Saturdays, but would it work here? Watford Town and Stevenage decided to put it to the test.

Staged at Watford, it turned out to be a riveting match, offering plenty of food for thought. But was it enough in this era of T20 mania and with 50 or 40 overs a side the norm in our league?

In rising temperatures (in the 30s!) the toss proved important and with the coin coming down in Stevenage’s favour, they didn’t hesitate to bat first, hoping to build a big first innings advantage.

The day saw 120 overs bowled, with Stevenage declaring mid-afternoon, after 65 overs, on reaching 257-9. The principal innings was played by Anjani Singh, with an outstanding 140. In spite of the tiring conditions, Watford’s early batsmen responded well and finished the day on 153-3.

Day 2 and refreshed by overnight rest and under cloudy skies, Watford batted on through 82 overs and declared at lunchtime, after building a 48-run lead, which they hoped would be decisive.

With both teams wanting a positive outcome, Stevenage pushed on and declared at 5.30 on 223-9, after 53 overs setting Watford a challenging target of 176 runs for victory in the 29 overs available.

U n s u r p r i s i n g l y, for teams more accustomed to limited overs cricket, they both played attacking cricket but a clatter of wickets Man-of-the-Match in mid-innings halted Anjani Singh Watford’s progress. In spite of using 8 bowlers, Stevenage couldn’t force a result and both teams probably felt that a draw was a reasonable outcome.

Stevenage captain Suman Iranganti said: “A 2-day game was a good experiment and tested us in many ways, both sides giving youngsters an opportunity. The whole scenario was well received and enhanced the relationship between the two clubs. We are keen to try it again in 2024. Whether it’s a format for Herts League cricket is more doubtful, as most players now prefer the excitement of one-day cricket. Plus the British weather can ruin 2-day matches.

Scores: Stevenage: 257-9 & 223-9 Watford Town: 305-9 & 118-8

The Most Rewarding of Experiences In last year's handbook we covered the launch of an initiative by Bayford & Hertford to 'Save Village Cricket'. Its founder, Ben Wilson, now tells us about another project, equally rewarding, which is continuing in parallel.

Save Village Cricket has always sought to tackle issues within cricket that are important to both the survival of the recreational game, but additionally that make cricket clubs a better place to play.

Whilst our first year was spent promoting collaboration and connectivity between clubs - getting people playing the sport they love on a Saturday, and who may not have had a game otherwise - last year we focused on something different, almost by chance.

During last winter, my club Bayford were approached by four amazing young men from Afghanistan who, having fled the troubles in their homeland, found themselves in a hotel far away from their normal lives. Whilst they did not know each other initially, brought together by chance, they shared a deep love of cricket.

We at Bayford have always sought to be as inclusive as possible - recognising the power of cricket to bring a group of diverse people together. It is one of the central pillars of our club. Therefore having been approached by these four young men, who did not have equipment, transport or even a permanent home, we set out to not only give them a chance to play the sport they love, but also become a key part of our community.

Whilst it hasn't always been easy - it has required lots of time, effort and the generosity of a number of individuals helping us to fundraise or provide transport to and from games, it has been one of the most rewarding things I have been involved in within cricket.

These four young men have introduced us to a different culture, a way of life and, by sharing their own experiences, taught 22

us how lucky we are - to have a place we can call home, stability in our lives and an incredible place to play cricket. We hope we have - in turn - introduced these young men to our own cultures, traditions, and how to play on a greener wicket than they would have seen otherwise! Safe to say England in April is very different to their previous experience of playing back home.

Navigating the current landscape with regards to ensuring we could get all four playing in two teams has been tricky. We have been grateful to the Herts League for helping us to be able to do so - especially Barry Hellewell, who we have worked closely with to make this possible. His wisdom and guidance has been very much appreciated.

However, through this, we have uncovered the need for the ECB and stakeholders within cricket to recognise that we collectively need to make it easier to ensure those fleeing conflict and persecution can build some normality back into their lives through cricket. We have been delighted to be working with the ECB on the changes we feel that need to be made to rules and regulations to be able to do so.

If you ask anyone at our club, or who has met these four young men, whether it has been worth it - most definitely. We would recommend any club do the same. Last season would not have been the same without it.

We are delighted they will be back with us this season to continue their cricketing journey in the UK - though I suspect they will be better prepared for cricket in April than last season!

Obituaries

Just as the 2023 season was getting underway, and with the handbook already printed, we learned of the passing of two well-known stalwarts, Dudley Eckworth and Simon Prodger.

Dudley Eckworth Dudley was one of the League’s most accomplished and popular umpires.

He also ran the umpires panel and was a member of the League committee from 2005 to 2008.

Born in Hertford in 1937, Dudley lived in Hoddesdon and Broxbourne for most of his life and spent a career in the Merchant Navy, attaining the rank of Captain in 1975.

On retirement, he took up umpiring, which became a big part of his life. He toured extensively with the 'Forty Club', standing in matches in many parts of the world.

Back home, he served as President of the Hertfordshire Association of Cricket Umpires & Scorers and became a life member. His ‘home’ club was Hoddesdon and after moving to that area in 2015, he liked nothing better than a pint, watching the latest generation of players, who were mostly performing in the Premier Division players at that time.

After a diagnosis of dementia in January 2020, he moved to a specialist care home in Norfolk to be closer to family.

Dudley will be commemorated at Hoddesdon with a 'Dudders' bench and he will always be remembered when the five minute bell goes at the start of play. It was his ship's bell, donated from his days as a Merchant Navy officer.

Allen Wells Just as this handbook was going to press, we learned of the passing of another of the best and most respected umpires in Hertfordshire and the South East, Allen Wells.

Allen was also a VicePresident of Radlett CC. A full tribute next year.

Simon Prodger Club cricket was devastated by the news of the sudden death of Simon Prodger in April 2023. ‘Prodge’ was Chairman of Watford Town but had a much bigger role in the development of club cricket and the promotion of the game as a force for good. Simon had joined Watford Town in the early 2000s, having played previously for Harlow, Hoddesdon and Harefield and became chairman in 2009.

He had worked in publishing but cricket was his passion and he had become managing director of the National Cricket Conference and Club Cricket Conference, which provide great support for recreational cricket. In these capacities he fought tirelessly to ensure that the vital roles played by our clubs were properly recognised and supported by the powers-that-be.

He also sought to make cricket a game for everyone, regardless their background. He played an important part in establishing the South Asian Cricket Association and African Caribbean Cricket Association. As a trustee of the Club Cricket Charity, he was instrumental in securing funding from the ECB to distribute defibrillators to clubs.

Prodge was posthumously recognised by the MCC and the Cricketer magazine in the Community Cricket Heroes awards. Alongside the 11 winners, he was created the honorary 12th man, for his outstanding contribution to grassroots cricket and his community.

Paul Bedford, Leagues & National Counties Manager at the ECB said about Prodge: "Ever since 2007 when Simon started at the Club Cricket Conference, he has always kept ECB advised about CCC’s plans.

More formally, Simon became part of a Development Pathway Cricket Sub-Group in 2018 when his experience of over 40 years in cricket was invaluable. He lived the ECB Purpose of ‘Connecting Communities and Improving Lives’ in UK and overseas long before it had been developed as a purpose.

Throughout our dealings he was always humble, kind and collegiate in spirit."

Bob Pomphrey

Dave Lawrence

In October 2023, Hertfordshire and St Albans lost one of their very best players and nicest characters of recent years.

That's probabaly an understatement. An athletic Bob Pomphrey joined St Albans as a 23 year-old in 1968 and was soon scoring centuries. His form was noticed by the County and from 1971 he became a regular in Hertfordshire team, mostly as an opener, scoring more than 4,000 runs over the next 14 years. His best year was 1976, the year of the drought, when he notched up 780 runs, including one century and four half-centuries.

Almost inevitably he became captain of St Albans, who was described as an inspiration to his team, especially to young and less able players who he welcomed enthusiastically, always being prepared to offer them advice.

He would also enjoy being an unorthodox captain, often challenging the opposition regularly opening the bowling with a spinner or young player, after racking up a good score.

He enjoyed success with the Hertfordshire League, captaining the team (pictured below) to victory in the CCC inter-league KO, in 1989 In his later years he captained Herts over 50s He was a true clubman off-the-field as well, helping to set up NatWest matches at St Albans in the 1980s, which included putting up all the fencing and sleeping in the marquee overnight, as a deterrent to vandals. He was later given his club’s highest honour of life membership and became President.

In July 2023 the news broke of the passing of Dave Lawrence. ‘Lol’ was simply Mr. Potters Bar Cricket Club. He held umpteen roles within the club and did them all outstandingly well, with little fuss or adulation.

Lol joined the club from Hatfield in 1974 and was soon an integral part of the 1st XI – so much so he was soon 1st XI captain, a role he held for countless years. He was a fine all-round cricketer, a fierce competitor and as shrewd a cricket tactician, possessing a memory of countless club cricketers re their strengths and weaknesses.

He worked tirelessly on the ground, culminating in Hertfordshire using the ground for 1, 2 and 3-day cricket. He worked wonders on a shoestring budget, finding ingenious ways of cutting the outfield, using outdated machinery well past its use-by date.

Lol was presented with a Presidency of the club in 2006 and officially recognised by the ECB for his work and dedication to all at Potters Bar CC in 2021.

Dave was passionate about most sports and would talk passionately, over a pint, about nigh on anything. He loved Swindon Town as well as being a committed semi-pro footballer who latterly went into management locally.

Potters Bar said Lol didn’t leave just a hole, it was more of a cavern. “He did so much for us all and was respected by all those who met him. The word legend is banded around these days with great regularity but for all at PBCC, this man epitomises the word and we will all miss him so, so dearly.”

The club's ground, known as The Walk for decades, has been renamed the David Lawrence Memorial Ground, as a lasting tribute.

statistic was his economy rate at just 2.80. He played his final game at the age of 77 and went on to become Chairman in the early 80s, then President, following the death of Major General Sir George Burns in 1999.

Ken liked nothing better than to immerse himself in an ongoing project, to demonstrate the forward thinking nature of the Club.

This was best demonstrated by the building of the current pavilion in 1983, followed by the building of the electronic scorebox in 1990. In 1999, and with great difficulty, Ken managed to obtain permission from the Estate to extend the land at the Pavilion end of the ground. The length of the boundary had always been a bit of a problem but it was important if the Club were to be taken more seriously. His determination to make this happen has meant that the Club is now able to host Hertfordshire Minor County matches, which we would not have been able to do prior to the extension.

In establishing North Mymms as one of the most progressive and ambitious Clubs in the County, in spite of its size, hardly a day went by when Ken wasn’t attending some matter to do with the Club. He is sorely missed by all.

Sandridge suffered the loss of two stalwarts over the past year. Matt Miller and Fred Munt.

Henry Tilly Former Cheshunt, Hertfordshire and Middlesex quick bowler, Henry Tilly, has died, in Derbyshire. The owner of a sports shop in the 70s and 80s, Henry was instrumental in introducing the Herts League to Barnet-based sports wholesalers Bryan Bros (renowned for their boxing gloves) who became main sponsors of the League for over 10 years, until the new, enlarged league was formed in 1994.

Henry first played for Cheshunt at the age of 14 and developed into one of the finest bowlers the club had produced. After three years in the RAF, he spent eight years (to 1961) on the Middlesex staff, where he took 134 first class wickets. He then played for Hertfordshire for 10 years, taking 212 wickets.

Bob Simons, who kept wicket in the early years of this period, wrote in his book, Cricket in Hertfordshire, “A master of all the mysteries of seam and swing, he was a pleasure to keep to.” Although he sold his sports shop in Cheshunt, in 1996, the company continues to trade under the name Henry Tilly Ltd.

Fred Munt In January 2024 Sandridge reported the passing of Fred Munt at 90 years old, with a playing record stretching back over 70 years. He was also much loved across Hertfordshire, playing Herts Over 70s and also wellknown as the groundsman at BAe and De Havilland Sports Clubs in Hatfield, before the site’s redevelopment.

Fred was born in Sandridge and lived in the village his whole life. He started playing for the club just after the 2nd World War, playing well into his mid-70s and still joining Sandridge tours when he retired. The first time he went ‘abroad’ was when he was 60, on a cricket tour to Jersey!

His slow/medium left arm took many hundreds of wickets, playing in the firsts well into his late 60s and often bowled throughout an innings. He could have continued for many years but his eyesight meant fielding became dangerous! Following retirement from playing, he umpired and became the club’s groundsman. Even with failing health he was a regular last summer, coming to watch, while enjoying a beer and a chat in the bar.

Matt Miller Matt died suddenly in May, aged 47, having had played and latterly umpired for the club for a total of 35 years. Matt lived in Sandridge and was one of the first to have joined the clubs colts section in the 1980s. He moved on to become a regular first team player and was renowned as a hardhitting batsman and one of the few spinners at the club to turn the ball.

Later he turned out occasionally for the 2nd team but was more regularly umpiring for both the 1st and 2nd team. He always took with good humour the flack he took from his former team-mates for never 'giving us anything' in his desire to show his impartiality.

In recent years Matt was pivotal in ensuring Sandridge had a good track, spending much of his free time down at the 'Ridge' to ensure others would benefit from his hard work.

The final word from his club was “It is impossible to find anyone who had a bad word for Matt, whose happy-go-lucky approach was infectious and made the club welcoming and a fun place to play.”

Saracens Herts Junior Leagues After the blistering temperatures of 2022 it was perhaps inevitable we would have a wet 2023 and so it turned out. At one point in May there was some discussion about whether we would need to extend the season but eventually the rain abated, there was some excellent cricket and we managed to complete the vast majority of games before Finals Day which took place on July 16th at various grounds across the county.

WINNERS 2023 U10A Leverstock Green U11A Wheathampstead U12A Berkhamsted U13A Hemel Hempstead U14A Shenley Village U15A Wheathampstead U16 Berkhamsted U17 West Herts U11 Girls Harpenden U13 Girls Berkhamsted U15 Girls Bishops Stortford Summer Leagues: U11 Cokenach U13 West Herts U15 Broxbourne The Winners roll of honour is the culmination of a season which saw 50 clubs entering more than 430 teams which competed in over 1,580 fixtures Below: Berkhamsted under 13 girls

This is how our teams fared In the ECB national competitions: U13s - Broxbourne lost in the second round to Ealing, (the eventual winners) U15s - Tring Park beat Copdock & Old Ipswich and then in the regional final, played at Horsham, Tring were beaten by Chichester Priory U13 Girls Berkhamsted beat Beaconsfield in Round 2 before losing to Slough Tigers in Round 3 U15 Girls - Cokenach lost to Flitwick in the quarter finals.

For 2024 we are excited to be introducing A&B leagues for girls for the first time at U11, U13 and U15 age groups, which demonstrates the strong growth of girls cricket in Hertfordshire.

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.

The HCL remit covers all areas of the game including working closely with our 124 affiliated clubs, supporting open-age and junior leagues, delivering a robust county age group programme for both girls and boys, supporting all volunteers and clubs across the network.

Over the last few years HCL have worked hard alongside the ECB to roll out the Safehands management system and the new criteria for Clubmark, where we have 38 qualified clubs.

HCL will also be supporting the ECB’s National Programmes for All Stars and Dynamos, completing the large Chance to Shine Schools delivery of over 2,000 hours and continued work with the Lords Taverners on enhancing Disability Cricket across schools and the community.

We are continuing to work very closely with the other East Region County Boards to deliver the best possible support to the recreational game using ‘ECB Inspiring Generations” to drive our work.

Finally, on behalf of Hertfordshire Cricket, I would like to wish all players, clubs, officials, grounds staff, administrators, volunteers and the members of the Herts Premier Cricket League all the best for the 2024 season which will hopefully be as normal as possible, in these unusual times. We would also like to thank all clubs and key personnel for all that you do for the game.

NOTE Any asylum seeker that a club wishes to register under Category 1 or Category 3 as defined below must first have the written permission of his or her Home Office case worker which case worker must confirm the date of arrival on these shores and their date of birth. If the asylum seeker is under 18 years of age on 31 August in the year preceding the season in question, he or she shall be deemed Category 1 in any division below the Championship Division. Otherwise, the same criteria shall be applied to establish whether the asylum seeker is Category 1 or Category 3, and the same restrictions will apply regarding the number of Category 3 players in each team. A more simplified registration form will be produced regarding Category 3 registrations for asylum seekers.

Category 1 i a British or Irish citizen born in England and Wales and is deemed “ordinarily resident”* or ii a player who has been resident in England and Wales for the immediately preceding year and is deemed ‘Ordinarily Resident’* *A player will only be treated as having been ordinarily resident within England and Wales for the relevant period if he or she has spent a minimum of 210 days in the year within England or Wales and has not played as a domestic player in their own country during the year (for which purpose a ‘year’ shall mean a year ending 31st March immediately before the year in question).

Confirmation: A player who holds a British passport and lives outside the UK must also meet the ”Ordinarily Resident” criteria.

32

'Deemed’ status A player who was resident in England and Wales and would benefit from Category 1 status but for having relocated outside England and Wales for temporary work purposes (unrelated to cricket and for a period of no more than 24 months), may apply to their league or the ECB for ‘deemed’ Category 1 status immediately on his/her return to England and Wales. Approval is at the discretion of their league or the ECB and is not automatic’.

Should a Category 3 player be under contract to a first class county he/she will be treated as a 3 player for registration purposes.

After each match, any substitutes used shall be added to the team sheet which shall then be countersigned as valid by one non-playing umpire (where there are umpires) and by the opposition captain. In Divisions 3a and below inclusive, team sheets from opposing teams should be retained by the captains after the game and each captain (or a club officer) is subsequently responsible for checking that the opposition’s players are all registered on the league web site.

The League has the power to suspend players from all League matches until the clubs involved agree a player’s obligations to his original club have been discharged. Players changing clubs during the close season are outside of the jurisdiction of the league and it is always down to individual clubs to enforce their own policies around the payment of subscriptions and match fees. i On or before July 31st, in the event of a proven allegation against an unregistered player the team fielding the ineligible player will have 5 points deducted. Should the unregistered player be Under 18 on the day of the match, the penalty will automatically be 30 points. ii From the 1st of August onwards, any team that fields an ineligible player, will incur a 10 point deduction, excepting where the player is Under 18 on the day of the match, in which case the penalty will be 30 points. iii For the avoidance of doubt, a captain registered on the League website as captain who has not been Cricket specific ECB DBS checked is deemed an ineligible player and the club will face the penalties in i) and ii) above.

Failure to comply with these requirements will result in a financial penalty of £150 in total, payable to the opposing club. Non-payment of the penalty within 14 days shall attract a penalty on the same basis as set out for subscriptions under rule 10b, payable to the opposing club. Any club failing to meet its obligations under this rule will be fined additionally by the League at a rate not less than three times the outstanding debt. Any team failing to fulfil three or more fixtures during a season may be subject to demotion to a lower division in the following season, at the discretion of the Executive Committee.

Umpire & Scorer Registration Process 2024

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 HPCL 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 umpires will need to 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 adopted by the HPCL. The League has adopted the ECB’s Recreational Cricket Conduct Regulations, with some minor modifications. Details can be found on the League website. All penalties determined shall be in the form of number of days for which a cited player cannot play any cricket anywhere in the UK. All penalties will be recorded on Play Cricket, which will prevent the selection of the said player.

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 48 hours after the incident took place.

The report should outline the incident only and deal with the facts.

Save for mistaken identity, a Level 1 offense, (as set out in Law 42), will lead to an automatic 7-day or 14-day ban depending upon the seriousness of the incident. A sincere apology made to both umpires as soon as practically possible, (i.e., during a lunch or tea interval, or immediately upon the end of the game), may lead to such a ban being halved.

Irrespective of any apology, in any match where independent panel umpire(s) have been appointed by the League, all Level 1’s will automatically result in a 2-point deduction for the team for whom that player plays. A second Level 1 issued to any player from that same team in the same season will lead to an automatic 5-point deduction for the team for whom the player plays, with all other Level 1s leading to a 10-point 60

deduction. Should the offense as reported by an umpire be determined as Level 2, the Discipline Chair will forward the report same to the participants club for their comment.

The report will stipulate a prospective ban of not less than 14-days based upon the report’s content. Clubs are requested to reprimand offending participant themselves, advising the Discipline Chair as to their determination within 72-hours. 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.

As with Level 1 offenses, in any match where independent panel umpire(s) have been appointed by the League, all Level 2’s will automatically result in a 5-point deduction for the team for whom that player plays. A second Level 2 issued to any player from that same team in the same season will lead to an automatic 10-point deduction for the team for whom the player plays, with all other Level 2’s leading to a 20-point deduction.

All Level 3/Level 4 will now be dealt with by the ECB’s National Disciplinary Panel and will lead to a minimum of a 25-point deduction for the team for which the player cited plays.

The above procedures in relation to player behaviour shall also apply in Divisions 3A to 6B where there is at least one non-playing Qualified Umpire standing. An umpire who has completed both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 courses will be regarded as ‘qualified’ for the purposes of the match rules.

For the avoidance of doubt neither an unqualified club umpire nor an umpire who has received dispensation nor a player umpire is permitted to apply any aspect of Law 42.

ECB Club Affiliation ECB affiliation procedure now requires all county boards to introduce a strict affiliation policy.

In order to meet the requirements set out by ECB, All County Cricket Boards were tasked with developing minimum standard affiliation packages that they provide to clubs.

This includes having a fully compliant Club Safeguarding Officer.

Hertfordshire Cricket has updated their affiliation package to meet these requirements, which include offering clubs in Hertfordshire more support.

Clubs who affiliate to Hertfordshire Cricket are offered a variety of benefits.

Further details of Hertfordshire Cricket affiliation package are available on http://www.hertscricket.org/page/clubs/club-affiliation-package/club-affiliation-package-9768/ Hertfordshire Premier Cricket League is a Hertfordshire based league. It is a requirement for clubs to be members of ECB through Hertfordshire Cricket. Therefore, Hertfordshire based clubs must be fully affiliated to Hertfordshire Cricket or participant clubs based outside of Hertfordshire are required to become Associate members of Hertfordshire Cricket.

Clubs failing to meet affiliation requirements place at risk their membership of Hertfordshire Premier Cricket League.

Concussion Guidelines

The Government and the Sport and Recreation Alliance publishes UK-wide Concussion Guidelines for Grassroots Sport. This will help players, coaches, parents, schools, national governing bodies and sports administrators to identify, manage and prevent the issue.

The guidelines were developed by an expert panel of domestic and international clinicians and academics in neurology and sports medicine. It aims to improve understanding and awareness of the prevention and treatment of concussion in grassroots sport where trained medical professionals are less likely to be routinely present. It is targeted at people of all ages.

‘If in doubt, sit them out’ is the strapline, making clear no-one should return to sport within 24 hours of a suspected concussion.

Players, parents, coaches, teachers and administrators should read the guidance and familiarise themselves with the necessary steps to: RECOGNISE the signs of concussion; REMOVE anyone suspected of being concussed immediately and; RETURN safely to daily activity, education/work and, ultimately, sport.

The guidelines include a recommendation to call NHS 111 within 24 hours of a potential concussion, to rest and sleep as much as needed for the first 24 to 48 hours and avoid using devices which involve screen time.

In addition, a graduated return to activity such as work, education and sport is advised to reduce the risks of slow recovery, further brain injury and longer-term problems. Individuals should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional if symptoms persist for more than four weeks.

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.

No overseas player entering the country under a Tier 5 Visa will play in division one or below No British, Irish or overseas coach who receives payment for coaching at the club will be allowed to play for a team in division one or below unless the club chairman has signed this form and provided the league’s registration committee with the documents required and set out in sub-paragraphs a, b and c below. a. A copy of the Government Licence allowing the employment of an overseas national as required under the new Brexit regulations. (Not required for British or Irish coach) b. Copies of the coach’s coaching certificate(s), insurance cover and DBS (or equivalent) clearance c. A copy of the contract given to the coach by the club with payment details redacted if the club so require.

Secretary's Report 2023

As delivered to the AGM, February 2024 Since the 2022 season, when all Covid restrictions were lifted, and during which season we suffered more conceded fixtures than ever before, the league’s numbers have been on an upward curve. In 2023 there were fewer cancellations and only two clubs had sides conceding 4 or more matches. Whilst it is true that two sides withdrew altogether in 2023, for 2024 we have three new clubs in the league and 10 more teams taking us up to 290 teams playing league matches every Saturday from early May to early September. More regionalisation for 2024 should reduce our carbon footprint and I know that other senior clubs on the periphery of our boundaries are looking to join. We had no disciplinary matters of a racial nature in 2023. If we had, these would have been dealt with by the ECB’s own panel and not by George White and his team.

With the County Association, we are looking at an adult women’s league for 2025 and the Junior leagues, with which we share a link, are flourishing with over 50 clubs and 430+ teams playing 1,580 fixtures for boys and girls in 2023.

We also hope to launch a winter indoor league in October 2024. Many of our clubs now have

80

majority memberships made up of first, second and third generation South Asians and in 2023 our clubs opened their doors to asylum seekers largely from Afghanistan.

The Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) in its 317-page report issued in the summer, concluded that racism, sexism, classism and elitism are widespread in the game. It made 44 recommendations including that the ECB makes an unreserved public apology for its failings. The HPCL is an ECB endorsed Premier league and we receive funding from the ECB as a result. Are we tarred with the same brush? Should we apologise to our clubs too? I am a white, very late middleaged, middle class male living in the Home Counties and therefore have no experience of being affected by the prejudices to which the report refers. To that extent I feel unqualified to comment personally on the report’s conclusions.

I can only say that having been a member of my club for 46 years I have never been aware of any obvious prejudice. Nor, having spoken to other members of the league committee, is there an opinion that ‘racism, sexism, classism and elitism’ are widespread in our league. So, what can I conclude from the report? Should I dismiss it as being irrelevant to our particular part of the club cricket landscape?

Are the two paragraphs above incompatible?

I don’t believe so. The report accepts that many recreational leagues, through committed volunteers, are thriving (see above!) and that the perception is that the professional game has the most to learn and more structural changes to make. As a league we can do nothing to address the report’s comments about the Public School system and its, almost, total monopoly over school’s cricket. The best our clubs can do is to reach out to local state schools to encourage their pupils to join, and to liaise with local Chance to Shine administrators. But our league must be ever mindful of the of the report’s conclusions and seek to improve our awareness of those issues and look to improve the availability of cricket across all nationalities, genders and capabilities. All members of our committee have undergone EDI training and we will continue to appraise ourselves of the

resources available through the ECB and the County to ensure that we are up to date with all developments. I imagine that most of us think we are decent human beings with a proper moral compass but what the ICEC report tells us, if nothing else, is that prejudices can pass us by if we close our eyes and our minds to them. Keep your eyes and ears open and be proactive, not reactive. The league is here to help.

I don’t suppose that when I became league secretary 14 years ago, I would have expected to be writing the paragraphs above as an introduction to my annual report but that is where we are, and I make no apologies for what is written.

Well, after last season’s heatwave, 40 degrees Celsius and outfields browner than the ubiquitous cow, we got the opposite this season. Groundsmen who, last year, had to cope with not a drop of rain, this year were deluged by it. Noah became a familiar sight at most clubs. Although June was hot, April, May,

July and August were wet. Some clubs could get no machinery out to their squares until the first week of May let alone get onto the square itself. My own club’s outfield was as green as the Emerald Isle in August. As a result, some clubs lost a lot of cricket to the weather, with 5,6 or 7 games lost being not uncommon.

Emerging from the rain, Potters Bar won the Premier division outright, with the play-offs consigned to the bin of historically bad ideas.

They did so by the smallest of margins, beating local rivals, Old Owens, on the last day of the season by a squeaky-bum 2 runs. Had they lost, Harpenden would have taken the title. It is their fourth title (league or play-off cup) in the last six years-there must be something in the tea at The Walk. Congratulations to all at the club.

Welwyn Garden City were relegated, to be replaced by Shenley Village from the Championship. Shenley won the Championship

with a game to spare, and their Australian, Nathan McSweeney, (pictured above, batting) was able to jet off, with a clear conscience, to Captain Australia A in their mini-series with New Zealand A. Incidentally the New Zealand A skipper, Tom Bruce, had played for Shenley a few years back. Expect David Warner to be opening for them in the Premier next season!

Flitwick, who lost more games to weather than any other side in the division and finished only 24 points behind Shenley, lost out to West Herts in the Premier/Championship play-off falling 9 runs short of their opponent’s total.

After too much rain at the end of April and beginning of May a disjointed Premier T/20 competition was won by Radlett in a brilliantly run finals day at Broxbourne with the hosts losing out to Radlett in the final. In a revamped Sunday T/20 cup Old Elizabethans won the A group and Southgate Compton the B group.

Well done to all winners; much more detail of the season on the field is available in Richard Bayliss’s excellent diary of a season which will appear in the 2024 handbook. (See page 89) There were 2466 league fixtures,105 abandoned games, 444 cancelled and only 44 conceded. That’s an awful lot of cricket and an awful lot of administration is required to enable it to happen. There are unsung heroes on the committee beavering away behind the scenes at all hours. At the start of the season, we had 1,800 players registered on PlayCricket, by the end, that number had risen to 5,238. That doesn’t happen by smoke and mirrors. On a few occasions our website floundered during the season and Richard Mason had to burn the midnight oil to make manual adjustments to results and tables. Sometimes clubs are aggrieved that points are deducted, or the recorded result is changed for reasons of noncompliance with rules and regulations. Be assured that we take no pleasure in the docking of points where there is no qualified umpire, no scorer or an unregistered player takes the field.

81

But we have a registration and results system that relies on clubs following the rules which are readily available to view, and we must be fair to all clubs in the implementation of those rules.

Saracens first sponsored the league in 2000.

That they still do so now is testimony to their commitment to support recreational cricket through Nigel Wray’s charitable foundation and to reach out to all ages and genders to continue the growth of cricket.

We have agreed with Nigel to enhance the communication between the league, its clubs, and their members by including all the email addresses of club members that we have (subject to GDPR approval from each member) in communications between our sponsors and the league. We have subscribed to Mailchimp to effect that change- Mailchimp joins SurveyMonkey in our menagerie of primatebased communication tools. It is envisaged that using this system will enable Nigel’s charity to keep us up to date with their ideas and aims whilst forging closer links between our sponsors and the league. Readers continue to supply the bulk of our match balls along with Dukes who now supply all balls for Premier and Championship games; Readers also sponsor our cup competitions. Our relationship with Readers goes back to before Saracens came on board and in 2023 our clubs bought £79,572.20’s worth of cricket balls from our suppliers- the equivalent figure in 2014 was £41,538.31. That’s a lot of cows!

Financially we are in a very strong position.

Although for a variety of reasons we have not been able to present ‘audited’ accounts for the last two financial years, we have been able to catch up with the day-to-day invoicing and weekly accounting with the invaluable assistance of Hilary Stiffin. Our book-keeping is up to date and final accounts are now prepared thanks to Anthony Levy’s expert assistance and are awaiting signing off by our honorary reporting accountant. They will be presented at the AGM for approval by the clubs. A big thank you to Anthony and Hilary for all their time and effort in helping us to get on top of things.

82

The situation with umpires and scorers is less rosy. Anthony Levy is now the Officials chair on the committee. Anthony replaced Peter Hinstridge who stood down at the 2022 AGM after 13 years behind the stumps. Peter not only ran the umpires’ panel with great efficiency he also played a prominent role on the rules sub-committee. Peter’s forensic mind was often relied upon to integrate new laws into our match rules, and he also was central to our drive towards more regionalisation, being very much aware of the need to cut down travel. His spreadsheets on the regional structure and his formulae for promotion and relegation were legendry. Peter has moved on to other roles in cricket officialdom and of course still appears on our panel. Thank you, Peter, for all your invaluable help over the years.

In 2023 only 784 of 900 panel appointments were filled. On at least two Saturdays there were no panel appointments in division 2B. Whilst we have been ambitious in extending the panel down through the five top divisions these figures were the worst we have had. The reasons are manifold and Anthony, through his sub-committee, is looking at ways to arrest the decline in numbers and see if we can find a solution. In the end, it comes down to the fact that most experienced cricketers, when they retire from playing seem less willing to train to become umpires and submit themselves to the criticism that they often receive from players and spectators during league matches on a Saturday. The fall off in behaviour is a significant factor. Why cop the flack when you could follow your own club, be with your mates and have a beer or two? In earlier times, when the end of a playing career was often followed by umpiring at your own club, there seemed to be plenty of umpires, though there were always suggestions that when you played certain clubs, they turned up with twelve! I’m not sure if there is an easy answer to this problem.

Whilst on the subject of umpires, as you may have seen from the league website, one of our panel umpires has written and self-published, a book ‘Secret Umps,’ about umpiring in a Saturday league ‘somewhere in England.’ That ‘somewhere’ is our league. I commend it to you. The last thing I can claim to be is a literary critic, but the book is well written and espouses

a view of cricket that I think we would all want to adhere to. It also got me thinking about which clubs and grounds he was referring to - see if you can work them out! The book is available through the ‘secret umps’ website and 15% of all proceeds will go back to the league to help with promoting umpiring throughout the league.

I mentioned above that the falling levels of behaviour have played a role in the dwindling panel numbers. George White’s discipline subcommittee has been far too busy this year and whilst I have always seen myself on the more lenient end of the discipline spectrum even, I could see that things are getting worse. There were 57 individual L1/L2 incidents reported, (up from 46 last year), from 14 weeks play – a 59% increase on 2022!

47 bans handed down as opposed to 36 last year, a 66% increase on last year. Divide by 14, multiply by 18 (last season’s full programme) and the stats make sense.

Thankfully, we had no Level 3 or Level 4s this year but George did provide input on 16 Level 3s and 12 Level 4s as part of the national disciplinary panel which he now sits on (as if he hasn’t got enough to do already!). It seems that we are not alone, with similar patterns around the other leagues.

The ECB plans to hold a national disciplinary event in Birmingham for which close to 400 disciplinary chairs will be asked to submit

their figures for 2023.What comes out of that meeting will shape our own approach for the coming season. But in the end it comes down the attitude of the clubs to their playing members. If players’ behaviour is unacceptable to umpires, then it surely should be to their clubs. One of the options being considered is that, in addition to individual player bans, points will be deducted from all teams at a club where disciplinary breaches are reported. When even the blameless suffer from the actions of men behaving badly, perhaps they will toe the line in the future.

I am pleased to report that after last season’s problems with the pitch at Bushey, the renovation work on the ground bore fruit and Bushey were restored to the league. There were no dramas in 2023. If there is a will there often is a way and the club and all associated with the ground are to be commended on their efforts. We should always strive to improve club facilities and their efforts are a lesson to us all.

A big thank you to everyone on the Exec. committee for all their hard work this year and to Tony Johnson for his unstinting support for Hertfordshire League cricket. One of the things the ECB needs to bear in mind when passing on ever more ‘things to do’ is that those things are done by volunteers. We may not always get it right, but we will always do our best.

A brilliant summer of Ashes cricket culminating in a pulsating climax at the Oval (not dissimilar to the goings on at the Potters Bar-Old Owens finale at The Walk) showed what the game can be all about if it is played with the right attitude and spirit. ‘It’s not cricket’ has always been a metaphor for unfair or unacceptable behaviour in society generally. Let’s embrace that attitude, and with the ICEC report in mind, resolve to do better in 2024.

Diary of the Season 2023

by Richard Bayliss

Last year’s handbook was littered with pictures of parched cricket grounds, looking more like the Middle East than middle England. What a contrast in 2023. The picture below of Radlett, under tarpaulins, just about sums it up. There was some mid-season respite, but some of the highest temperatures were reserved for the 2nd week of September, immediately after our league season had ended!

Week 1, 6 May

After a winter of waiting for summer to return, it didn’t. Pouring rain meant not a single ball was bowled anywhere. That meant local rivals Hitchin and Letchworth GC 1st XIs were denied their first league battle for ten years!

Week 2, 13 May

A slight improvement in the weather but the ground conditions put paid to 45 One change in the League set-up for this matches and clearly created bowler-friendly season, affecting our premier division, was conditions. Just 13 teams achieved a the absence of play-offs. So Potters Bar score in excess of would be defending The season in numbers: 200.

With apologies to the purists and to those abbreviated clubs for any annoyance caused.

I should also mention that nearly all the information in this review is taken from scorecards on play-cricket.com. If any big performances have been missed, I apologise. but suggest that all teams should get their match details online, during the week after the match.

That will be mandatory, down to div. 2B, from 2024, but all teams, and successful players, could benefit from these online records.

Tightest finish of all came in 8A, at Bentley Heath, where the home club’s 2nd team fell over the line, with nine wickets down, off the last ball of the match. They were chasing Redbourn 3rds’ total of 80, which should have been higher after being 70-3!

A milestone in 2A, where Lutonian went down to their first defeat in two year. Abbots Langley claimed the scalp.

After ground problems in 2022, Bushey benefitted from all the hard work by

89

groundsmen and advisors by returning to their Eastbury Road ground. Their 2nd XI had the honour of playing the first match but visitors, Ware, must have been a little wary and were skittled for just 39 runs. The Bushey pitch, however, had recovered and provided some good cricket for the whole season.

Plenty of fun in the incestuous battle between Letchworth’s 4th team and their 5ths, in 11 North. All 22 players had a bat but only four reached double figures, as the 4ths won by one wicket, after being 50-8, chasing 82. The wickets were shared, unsurprisingly, with 15 bowlers used! There must have been some good chat in the club bar that night (for those old enough).

Such meetings won’t be possible in future, with teams from the same club being kept apart in the League’s vertical structure, from 2024.

Week 3, 20 May A full league programme, at last. In the premier, Old Owens had their first taste of the top-flight and did themselves proud with victory by eight wickets over much-fancied Harpenden. Three of the big guns, Potters Bar, Radlett, and Totteridge all put down a marker with convincing victories.

There were some outstanding individual performances, as the balance between bat and ball was redressed a little. The batter to hit early form was Botany Bay’s Kasey Harris; no stranger to these annual reviews.

Kasey (pictured) hit 181* off 161 balls and shared an opening partnership of 221 with Liam Mullen (84). That set up victory over Old Albanian by 105 runs, in 5B. There was an even bigger partnership in the Championship, in the Flitwick innings against Dunstable, Nabil Moughal (131) and 90

From the live feed, Flitwick's Morne Ventner goes to his century but he was outscored by his partner Nabil Moughal, (inset pic.) against Dunstable

Morne Venter (100) putting on 241.

An Old Albanian team was also on the receiving end of one of three great bowling performances. Their 3rds took on Royal Herts in 10 West and came up against Dheeraj Kolla who had the remarkable figures of 4o-2m-9r-7 wickets. Albanian’s final total of 29 marked something of a recovery from 10 for 9!

Another bowler taking 7 was a young man who featured in these pages a year ago. Kyran Shackleton’s headline performance then, involved bowling Sir Alastair Cook for just 20, when Potton Town took on Bedfordshire Farmers.

It may have given the 15 year-old confidence for the future, as in his 2nd match this season, he returned figures of 5.1o-2m-12r-7 wickets. In this division 3A match, home team Hemel III, were dismissed for 34; exactly half of those runs coming from the bat of no.10, Suren Perera!

Not a good day for the Hemel club, whose 4th team were dismissed for 27 by Old Cholmeleians II. That was in 8A, the same division where Hitchin 3rds lost to St Albans 3rds by 10 runs but had the outstanding bowler in Jamie Clark: 7 for 42 off 8 overs.

Today also saw the first match in the new Friendly League, allowing teams whose games had been called off (through concessions) to play some cricket. Kings Langley IV visited Bentley Heath III and came away easy winners.

Week 4, 27 May As pitches and outfields dried out, the higher scores indicated that batting was becoming a little easier. Knebworth’s Louis Champion (left) must have thought so, recording the first (and as it turned out, the only) double century of the season, finishing on 200* (26x4; 6x6) against Letchworth II in 2B. Charlie Randall (102) and Louis put on 245 for the 4th wicket, leading to victory by 207 runs.

That margin of victory was almost matched

by Potton, in 3A, who defeated Allenburys by 205 runs. Potton had a bowling hero last week; today it was the turn of a batter, Sean Stevens with a marvellous 148. That’s a few more than Charles Thurston’s 142 for Shenley, in div. 1, against Preston, but neither could match the 152* by Watton’s opener Ben Connolly against Knebworth II in 6A, setting up victory by a mammoth 310 runs.

Carrying the flag for bowlers today was Emraan Khan of Old Cholmeleians II. In their match in 8A, he finished with the remarkable figues of 7 wickets for 5 runs, helping to dismiss Hemel 4ths for 27.

The final word goes to our invaluable scorers. Ian Smith is Ampthill’s rock and today he missed his first match for 22 years. Smithy loves all sports, especially football, and has followed his beloved Luton all over the country. Their trip to Wembley for the Championship play-off final couldn’t be missed and we all know the outcome!

The other scorer who is a regular recordbreaker is Sawbridgeworth’s Richard White.

By the end of the season he would reach 650 matches in a row, meaning he has scored 660 1st XI league games in total, missing just one match since 1984!

Week 5, 3 June

It took until today for any batters in the Premier to score a century. That changed with Jack Clayton’s impressive 146*, which helped Welwyn to their first win. Less of a problem in the Championship, especially for Shenley’s Charles Thurston who hit is 2nd successive ton. After 142 the previous week, against Preston, he notched another 125 today, against Flitwick (who had their own centurion in George Thurstance, also with 125). Charles then chipped in with five wickets, to help secure Shenley’s victory.

Team scores were noticeably higher at the top level, with most comfortably passing the 200 mark. The one exception was West Herts, dismissed for 109. But they still won, bowling out Totteridge M for 90.

There was another big century in division one, Tom Garraway being undefeated on 148, for Old Elizabethans, in a 133-run win over Langleybury. Also in the 140s was Alex Molloy of Southgate Compton (right) in 8B against Harpenden IV. His 141 included eight maximums and he shared an opening stand of 220 with Robbie Wallis (87).

For close matches, you had to look further down the structure. Berkhamsted IV and Royal Herts served up our first tied match of the season. The Royals set a target of 211 and a couple of teenagers, Justin Fisher and player Dylan Wale nearly saw Berko home, until Dylan was run out going for a tough 2nd run to win it on the last ball.

Division 7B offered the next best with Aldenham going down by just two runs to Northchurch 2nds and Mill Hill Village II missing out by just one run, with 9 wickets down, when chasing 214 set by Watford III. Sadly we were playing without two teams who decided to pull out, though lack of player availability - Bovingdon in 6B and 91

Northampton Exiles III in 11 East. On a brighter note in that division. we had an impressive century from Ciaran Hosty of Edgware who was undefeated on 137 (13x4; 5x6s).

Week 6, 10 June

The sun finally came out as Premier and Championship emerged from the limited overs format and into today’s timed matches. Each division had just one unbeaten team in the top slots. Radlett’s lead over Potters Bar was only one point, however, thanks to cancellations, whereas Shenley, in the Championship, had opened up a healthier 17-point gap over Hoddesdon. At the other end, Hertford and Reed had yet to register a victory.

That changed today, with Hertford’s 58-run win over Welwyn, while Radlett continued with their good form, beating West Herts by nine wickets, with an unbeaten century from Dom Chatfield.

with 16 sixes and ‘only’ 13 fours.

The next highest score from his team-mates was 32.

Best bowler today was Boxmoor’s Mohit Shrivastava, who took 7 Langleybury IIs wickets for just 25 runs, in 5B One other century to mention was by Tom Watts (pictured) of Letchworth IV. The significance of his 104* against Welwyn V in 11 North was the fact that he is only 14 years old. One to watch.

At the other end of the scale, even if not yet on a par with Eric Riddle (see opposite) was James Gill’s effort for Harpenden 6ths.

James scored his first ever 50 after 23 years with the club. His 64 helped his team to victory, a success which was matched by Harpenden five other teams.

Another club happy to boast their winning record were Abbots Langley. Their four teams recorded a clean sweep for the second week running.

Shenley continued their winning ways but the stand-out performance in the Championship came from Flitwick, with George Thurstance, in particular, to the fore. Coming in at 0 for 2, and on the back of his century the previous week, George hit 172 and with Morne Venter (124) put on 303 for the third wicket.

Opponents, Preston, eventually went down by 186 runs.

Week 7, 17 June

The longer format seems to suit batters in the Premier, with all but one of the teams which had the first hit, scoring over 250.

The significant result of the day was a first defeat for Radlett,

by Harpenden. That meant four clubs were jostling for top spot, with four wins each. Reigning champions, Potters Bar were the leaders, after declaring on 303-3 (a century and three 50s among the top Not far behind four) and then beating Thurstance was Welwyn GC, while West Kamber Hussain, Herts made a rare visit to with 169 for the top four, even though Rickmansworth in they were the one team 3A, against North Top to bottom: George Thurstance, Kamber Hussain, not to reach 250 - but Enfield. Quite an Tom Watts, James Gill, and Eric Riddle (then and now!). they still won, again. innings by Kamber, See Eric's story on the opposite page.

The day’s run-fest was the division one clash at Sawbridgeworth, where Langleybury were the visitors and set a challenging total of 307. The hosts reached that target in the 48th over, making it the first time that Sawbo had ever successfully chased over 300 to win a league game.

That kept them in top spot. Unusually, in Langleybury’s huge total, no batter managed a half century and, remarkably, this was the fifth week running that Sawbo’s bowlers had prevented an opposition player reaching that milestone.

The day’s two outstanding performances with bat and ball came from Shashita Lakshan Fernando (Hatfield Hyde) with 154 (the team’s next highest score was 26!); and Abbots Langley's Rajiv Purohit (the cup winner above) who took 7 for 12 in a Radlett II total of 205.

Another bowler in form was Hemel 4th team bowler Lucas Bertin (pictured above), who plays for their under 13s. Lucas tore through Bentley Heath II’s line up in 8A, reducing them, single-handedly, to 20 for 6 at one stage. He finished by taking 7 for 24 (6 bowled and one LBW!).

The partnership of the day came in 9B, where North Enfield II openers Daniel Vanniasingham (73*) & Kieran Jones (121) put on 211, chasing Stevenage 4th’s 222.

One tied match to report. In 8B, Boxmoor 2nds recovered from 38-4 to set Cockfosters 2nds a target of 201, which,

There are milestones and there are remarkable milestones. On 10th June, we saw one of the latter category when Eric Riddle was picked to play for Hertford 4th XI away to Tewin 2nds, making him (as far as we know) the only player to have competed in every year of the Herts League since it started, in 1974. Yes, all 50 seasons.

The means more than 580 games against over 90 different clubs. And not without some success. He captained Hertford's 1st XI from 1979-84, winning the League in his first season. That was on the back of Hertford winning the League in each of the previous four years, when he contributed a stack of runs.

Former team-mate, Lawrie Wright, says that captaining the 1st XI league side to the number one position is top of the pile of achievements but, in many ways, running the 4th XI and then the 5th XI in league games, as Eric has done in recent years, involves much more work.

“Just getting 11 players together is only part of the job,” he said “Teaching the young boys in the team to score and umpire when needed; driving them to away games; making sure the whole team takes turns to carry chairs and a scoreboard to the ground, are just some of the tasks involved. Eric has captained far more of these games. They are the lifeblood of a club and by encouraging the youngsters, Eric has made an immense contribution to our club over 50 years of league cricket.”

Among a host of memories, Eric recalls a very rare bowling performance in 1977 at West Herts. Hertford scored about 200 and the hosts were going along nicely at 60-1 when Eric was sked to turn his arm over, only to take 8-29 and win the match.

And he’s still breaking records. This season, on 8th July, for Hertford 4ths against Stevenage 5ths, he joined Andre Rideout at 30-4, with no recognised batsman to follow.

The two of them had a combined age of 136, the club’s oldest ever partnership! But they put on 111 and won the match!

at 89-7, probably seemed a long way off.

Craig Hutchins (77*) and Killian Smallbone then took the visitors to the brink of victory, at 197-8, with one ball left. A boundary 4 then ensured parity.

Week 8, 24 June

Another high scoring Saturday in the Premier, except in one match and that was significant, with Radlett bowling out Stortford for just 95 – but they were 57-7 in reply, losing one more wicket before getting home in the 30th over.

Match of the day in the Premier, however, was at Hertford, where Old Owens were all out for 235. Hertford reached the final over needing 3 to win. After a single, they lost their 8th wicket on the 3rd ball and it needed Tom Orchard to score runs of the last ball. So he hit it for four. The emotion of that moment was captured in Paul Williams’ marvellous photo, below.

More big scores in the Championship, with Preston leading the way, against Reed, declaring on 335-4 after 59 overs. That was mainly thanks to Daniel Scholz (115) and Philip Simpson (108) who shared a 2nd wicket stand of 253. Victory soon followed, by 150 runs.

Top individual scores of the day came from Aldenahm's Chris Munroe, with 158* and Cheshunt Rosedale’s Aidan Richardson, with 152*.

Tied matches don’t come along too often but they did for Boxmoor 2nds in 8B, recording level scores for the 2nd week running. This time they were up against Old 94

Albanian II, who were all out for 148 before taking the last Boxmoor wicket with the last ball of the match, with the scores level. Not to be outdone, Shenley 2nds had the same result in 4B, matching N’ton Exiles total of 185, then losing their last wicket with two overs left.

Week 9, 1 July

By the end of today we had reached the half-way point of the season, so it’s worth looking at which teams are making the most impact, according to the tables.

One measure of success is which teams are still unbeaten. There were 11, which seems relatively high and were those teams running away with their divisional titles?

Not really, but some were opening up a gap over the 3rd-placed teams, which should take the pressure off their promotion-push.

Notable among these were Shenley in div. one, 41 points above Flitwick and 59 points ahead of 3rd placed Broxbourne. Markyate in 9B (56pts ahead of 3rd), Aldenham in 7B (54pts), St Albans in 4A (52 pts), and Kings Langley II in 8B (50pts), also stood out.

Berkhamsted III in 10 West had a gap of 69 points but the table uses average points.

Against those, the closeness of some divisions bode well for an exciting climax, not least in division one, where Luton were 13 points ahead of Chorleywood, in 2nd, but they and the next four teams were separated by just 11 points. Even closer in 6B, where the top four were within six points of each other (Weston were leading the way) and in 9A with the same six points gap, covering Hatfield Hyde II and the next three teams.

At the top of the premier, Radlett and Potters Bar seemed to be opening a slight gap, although the next four chasing teams were separated by just 16 points. Previous title-chasers, Welwyn, surprisingly found themselves at the foot of the table. Those positions were all affected by today’s matches, which saw Radlett beat Welwyn, while Old Owens beat Potters Bar, the top pair swapping places as a result, as did the bottom pair.

Close finishes today included another tie, in 4A, where the perfect start made by St Albans II was interrupted by a great run chase by Dunstable II. Aiming to overhaul the visitors’ 263-4, Dunstable were faltering until skipper Stuart Harvey, batting at no.8, hit a quick 67 but they lost their last wicket off the final ball of match, with the scores level. Stuart’s opposite number as captain, Oliver Coulman, had earlier hit 117 for St Albans.

It was quite a day for the Dunstable club. In the Championship, their 1sts were on the receiving end of the individual performance of the day, and surely of the season.

Preston’s Ed Wharton (above) became the first bowler since 2015 to take all ten wickets - 19.2overs, 8mdns, 44runs, 10wkts. Nine of his victims were caught and the other was LBW. Incidentally, Ed had also opened the batting for Preston, getting the innings off to a good start, with 28! He had already scored a century this season – 125 against Hoddesdon on 20 May. He bagged a fivewicket haul later in the season, against Reed but couldn’t match his feat in the return match with Dunstable, on the final weekend, finishing with 1 for 71!

(See page 19 for more on Ed’s performance).

Week 10, 8 July After something of a respite, the rain returned this Saturday. It had mostly stopped before our scheduled starts but it was enough to put paid to 15 matches.

One of the casualties, unfortunately, and the only one in the premier, was the clash between leaders Radlett and 3rd-placed

Totteridge M. Potters Bar could only draw, which helped the chasing pack.

Defying the weather to provide the match of the day, were Sawbridgeworth and Ampthill, in division one. In a match which brought together our two most committed scorers (see week 4) Sawbo scored 267-7 and the visitors were set 278 to win, via an adjusted DLS target. Liam Everitt (103) led the visitors' recovery from 122-5 but he was dismissed prior to the last over which saw Ampthill on 269-8. Three wides from the first ball and four successive singles were followed by a wicket, leaving last man Will Sneath on strike, for one ball.

He connected, only for 15 year-old James Frans to take his third catch of the innings.

Victory to Sawbo by one run.

The other close finish worth a mention was in 4A. As highlighted last week, St Albans 2nds were carrying all before them this season. After a tie last week, they went down to Hitchin 2nds today, by just 3 runs, their first entry in the ‘losses’ column.

Lowest score of the day came in 2B, where Hoddesdon 2nds managed just 31. It was more notable for being a family affair for Old Finchleians, where the Depala family is legendary. There were no fewer than 8 Depalas in the team and three of them took nine of Hoddy’s ten wickets. The other one was run out, and he was the last man! (NB 22 Depalas were registered as‘active’) Our two stand-out individual performances this day were both playing in division 3A matches. Leaders Stortford II racked up 306-7 against North Enfield, mainly thanks to opener Haitel Patel who was at the wicket for more than three hours, scoring 150 (20x4; 2x6). He was a batter in form, having scored 136* & 68 in his two previous league matches.

Stealing the headlines alongside Haitel, in 3A, was Dane Barnard of Allenburys. His 7 for 43 left Totteridge 2nds 65 all out.

One more bowler to mention is Dean Veerapen of Edgware. In 11 East, against Cheshunt, he registered his first-ever five wicket haul in the clash of the top two, 95

chased down the West Herts 5ths total of 157-8. In a match reduced to 30 overs each, Abbots were sailing along nicely at 146-5 but that soon became 149-9 and it needed the last pair to hold their nerve, which they did, getting over the line with three balls to spare.

Week 12, 22 July

taking 6 for 29. Nothing remarkable but Dean (above) hails from Mauritius and we believe is the first player from that beautiful island to make his mark in the Herts League. That follows the trailblazers from Brazil and Peru who featured in last year’s handbook, after playing for Frogmore.

Week 11, 15 July

More rain! Nearly half of the scheduled fixtures were cancelled, but the leaders in the Premier all played, with Harpenden the main beneficiaries. Their victory over Totteridge M (with Scott Galloway scoring 134*) and Radlett’s defeat by new boys Old Owens, meant a new look to the top of the table. Potters Bar were still out in front but only 7 points separated the top three.

A man in form and in a hurry was Letchworth’s David Albon. The previous week he had hit five maximums in making 58* off just 22 balls against neighbours Hitchin. Today, in the division one match against Ampthill, he carried on where he left off, hitting 127* off 60 balls, including eight 6s.

The weather didn’t prevent a few close finishes, including another tied match that involved another Letchworth GC team.

That was in 2B, where Flitwick 2nds posted 200-8 off 44 overs and Letchworth 2nds had a revised target of 204, to win, off 44.

Final over, 9 runs required. A dot ball then a wicket piled on the pressure, then 8 runs brought the scores level with one ball to go.

A wicket meant a lot of shaking of heads while they were shaking hands.

Further down the ladder, in 10 South, there was similar excitement as Abbots 3rds 96

Rain! Lots of it. Although many matches made a start, none of them could finish.

10 points to everyone. Ironically, while we twiddled our thumbs and watched TV, we saw reports of extreme heat in both Europe and the USA where temperatures exceeded 40 deg. For England cricket fans, the weekend was more memorable for the fact that the Manchester rain meant the Ashes would remain in Australian hands.

Week 13, 29 July

A full programme, thankfully, with Potters Bar in 1st taking on 3rd-place Radlett, in the Premier but Bar couldn’t force a win, in spite of having Radlett nine wickets down and with almost ten overs to attack the final pair. Harpenden, in 2nd, also drew.

In the Championship, Shenley seemed to be running away with the title, their 11th successive win putting them more than 60 points ahead of Flitwick and nearly 90 ahead of 3rd-place Broxbourne. Today’s 9-wicket victory owed most to Mohammed Shafiq, whose 7 for 18 helped to dismiss Preston for just 51. Shenley would have to do without Aussie Nathan McSweeney for the rest of the season, however, as he returned home to captain Australia A against New Zealand A (where he scored 2 half-centuries). He had contributed 523 runs @74.71 and 13 wickets towards Shenley’s promotion push. Coincidentally,

Nathan McSweeney played his last match for Shenley VIllage today. Here is his flashing blade against Flitwick earlier in the season - when he was caught behind!

the Kiwis were captained by Tom Bruce, who played for Shenley four years ago (and scored 48 & 64 in the match against the Aussies).

If Shafiq put in the bowling performance of the day, there’s no doubt about the batting performance, That came from Billal Hassan, (left) opener for Totteridge 2nds in 3A, who took the North Enfield attack apart, to the tune of 198 (26x4s; 6x6s).

The other stand-out individual efforts belonged to batter Muhammad Adeel, who scored 160* for Lutonian 2nds against Letchworth 3rds in 6A; and Flitwick 4ths bowler Leo Phillips, with 7 for 21 against Old Albanian III in 10 West. Incidentally in that Lutonian match, opener Huzaifa Muhammad scored a marvellous 130, only to be overshadowed by his batting partner.

Week 15, 12 August

Guess what? It rained. Thankfully not enough to wipe out the whole programme but the afternoon showers ruined many fixtures.

The five Premier fixtures all survived and Radlett returned to winning ways but so did Potters Bar and Harpenden, so it was ‘as you were’ at the top of the table. Radlett had cause to rue the weather more than any team, as they had won more matches (7) than the others but they had also suffered more wash-outs (5), putting them 17 points behind the leaders.

In the Championship, Shenley celebrated promotion after their narrow one-wicket defeat of basement team Reed. Aldenham, in 7B were also celebrating another promotion, after their demolition of Exiles 2nds, by 150 runs. Once again, Aldenham’s victory charge was led by Chris Munroe, (pictured below, scoring another maximum)) who was undefeated on 158.

Best finish of the day came in the same division, at Hemel, where Bushey accumulated a modest score of 203. Hemel 2nds were in sight of victory at 191-7 but sweating at 192-9, until the last pair saw them home with one ball to spare.

Week 14, 5 August

Another total washout!

An interesting Tweet, from Premier Cricket Stats (@premcricketstat): To put some context on the crappy weather... This season, 23% of Premier League games have been cancelled, worst since 2012. July has been especially bad, with 32% of all games wiped out! What makes this year feel worse is last year, just 2.46% of games fell to the weather!

Three more batters defied the conditions with big centuries, led by Markyate’s ‘keeper Mohsin Sageer, who took 149 off the North Enfield 2nds attack (18x4s; 8x6s).

Not far behind came Ryan Ansell, with 144 for Watton, against Letchworth 3rds, in 6A. And finally, Abdul Malik, with 136 for Luton 2nds against Bedfordshire neighbours Ampthill II in 5A. The results sheet for 12 August showed Berkhamsted IV v Old Albanians III as a cancelled match, which is harsh on Justin 97

Fisher (101*) and Kavi Patel (107*) who shared an unbroken partnership of 195, for Berko. The match was rained off in Albanian’s 19th over.

II, in 2B; Hemel 2nds skipper, Brad Finch, with 135* in 3A; Will Heywood, also 135*, who put on 189 with Jonathan Gaffney (125) for Stortford 2nds in 3A.

Closest finish of the day came in 11 South, where Hatch End 2nds and Northwood Town 4ths tied, both dismissed for 120.

We turn to the regional divisions for two memorable bowling performances. Earlier this season, Olivia Bartlett had become Redbourn’s first female player. Today, for the 4th team, the under 16s bowler captured her first five-wicket haul, 5-36 against high-flying Royal Herts. The most impressive figures of the day were returned

by Seb Hunter-Ward for Potten End 2nds.

His 6 for 9 was the main reason Boxmoor 3rds were dismissed for just 14, the fourth lowest ever in the League for a team batting 2nd.

Week 16, 19 August Better weather meant we could focus on the cricket today and the most significant match was at the top of the Premier, where 2nd-place Harpenden visited 3rd-place Radlett and came away with a comfortable 5-wicket victory, after recovering from 12 for 3!. That opened a gap of 31 points between the two teams. Potters Bar remained top, after bowling out Welwyn for 94, a defeat which virtually consigned Welwyn to relegation, 49 points from safety, with only 50 available from the last two matches.

In the Championship, although Flitwick, in 2nd, won again, 3rd-place Broxbourne, kept their hopes alive by beating alreadypromoted Shenley, thanks largely to Conor Ridley’s 152. From the live stream, below, Conor isseen having his final hit, after reaching that magnificent total.

Teams in the main (non-regional) league who uncorked the Champagne after securing promotion, two weeks before the final games, were Stortford 2nds in 3A, Redbourn 2nds in 4B, Markyate in 9B, and St Albans 3rds in 8A.

Week 17, 26 August As we approached the climax of the season, the weather in this penultimate weekend reverted to type. The great majority of games were cancelled or relied on run-rate, or DLS, to decide the outcome.

Division one was wide open, with five sides still in contention, separated by just 20 points. Chorleywood dropped from top to 3rd as a result of their defeat to Letchworth, who stayed in 4th. Luton and Sawbridgeworth occupied the top two places, with Hitchin in 5th, still in the promotion race.

Radlett’s match finished prematurely, putting them out of the Premier title race, so it was between Potters Bar and Harpenden, who both featured in tense finishes, thanks to DLS. For PB, they were just able to squeeze in 20 overs in the 2nd innings, when the Totteridge M target was eventually set at an unlikely 183. The standout innings for PB was played by Thilan Walallawita, batting at 7. His 99* off 43 balls included 11 maximums and 24 off one over. The Totteridge boys then gave it a real good go and wanted just six of the last over, bowled by Walallawita. Four singles, then a wicket meant new batter Joe Wray needed to score 2 to win off the last ball. Run out!

Bar were home by just one run.

Among those making runs in the sun were Ross Martin, with 167 for Wheathampstead in 3B; Duncan Nel, with 148* for West Herts

Harpenden, at West Herts, scored only 120-4 in 23 overs before DLS decreed that the home team’s target should be 140 to

98

win, off their 23. They failed by four runs.

That defeat also pushed West Herts down into 9th, the play-off place.

Aldenham's Double

Among all the gloom elsewhere, there was one gem of a bowling performance to report, in 8A, where Tristan Whittle took 6 wickets for 8 runs, for Hitchin 3rds, to help bowl out Redbourn 3rds for 44 (after being 15-8).

Just one week left!

Week 18, 2 September Mercifully, a dry day. So events would be decided by the players, not the conditions.

Would Potters Bar keep their League Premier division title, by defending a slim 5-point lead over Harpenden? Which one of the five teams in contention at the top of division one would take that crown? Would Lutonian maintain their six-point lead at the top of 2A? Same for Eversholt in 3A, ahead by only 16 points. And could Welwyn 2nds preserve a one-point lead over Tewin, in 3B, and help to make up for their senior team’s disappointing season?

Harpenden’s push for the title stayed on course with a win and Potters Bar knew what was coming for most of the afternoon, having heard their rivals had scored 329-6, then reduced Stortford to 69-5 at one stage.

So could Bar match that, against Old Owens, who probably needed to win to avoid the play-off place? Bar must have been nervous, having been dismissed for 174, inside 50 overs. They were helped massively by 37 extras (inc. 28 wides)!

The pendulum kept swinging until it came down to the last over, with Owens needing just five to win, three wickets in hand, Jigar Mehta bowling. Dot, dot, wicket, dot, 1,1.

So 25 points in the bag, and the title stayed at The Walk. Below - the moment of victory.

‎Déjà vu for Aldenham. A year ago they won promotion and the Herts Village Trophy, in their 50th anniversary year.

By 12 August this season, they had secured promotion from 7B and a week later they were celebrating the divisional title. Then, for good measure, they retained the Herts Village Trophy.

On the finals day of that competition, they would have to beat two Herts League teams who were both playing five divisions higher in the structure.

Frogmore were the semi-final opponents and they were seen off in emphatic fashion. Chasing down 150, they needed only 13.1 overs to reach the final, losing just one wicket in the process.

Chris Munroe once again led from the front, blitzing a century off just 48 balls.

He then carried that form into the final, against Potten End, with a quickfire 55.

He and Andy Tyrer (36) put on 99 for the first wicket, the platform for a challenging total of 178.

Potten took the game to the final over, when they needed just 14 to win, but Aldenham held their nerve and the trophy was theirs for another year.

99

Old Owens, in 8th, didn’t win but neither did West Herts, in 9th. So, trailing Owens by 11 points, they faced the relegation playoff, against the Championship’s runners-up Flitwick. West Herts had been 4th in the table as recently as 15 July but failed to win another match after that.

The main focus below that was on division one’s 5-horse race and it was soon all over, with the top two both winning, Chorleywood (by ten wickets) and Letchworth (by six runs), staying 1st & 2nd respectively.

Praise to the only two teams who went through the season unbeaten - St Albans 3rds, champions of 8A and Edgware, who won 11 East but quite narrowly over Cheshunt Rosedale 3rds, who lost just one game, to Edgware, in their only meeting.

Next season The League is extending its footprint in 2024 with the admission of new clubs Ley Hill (1st & 2nd XIs) in Buckinghamshire, Eaton Bray (1st & 2nd XIs) in Bedfordshire, and Enfield 4th XI in north London (playing at Botany Bay), plus additional teams Dunstable IV, Botany Bay III, Cheshunt Rosedale IV, Cockfosters III, Redbourn V, Hitchin VI, Datchworth IV, Kings Langley IV. Ley Hill

Champagne at Chorleywood

That was a remarkable turnround for Letchworth, who were at the foot of the table on 24 June, before embarking on a run of eight consecutive wins. Today’s match went to the fifth ball of the last over and reached its climax in the knowledge of Hitchin’s early win over fellow challengers Sawbridgeworth, to move, temporarily, into second place. In the Letchworth innings we had the rarity of skipper Harry Aitkenhead being dismissed for obstructing the field!

Three divisions with the title yet to be decided, 2A, 2B and 3B, saw easy wins for those in pole position, meaning silverware for Lutonian, Eversholt and Welwyn GC II. An interesting scenario in 4A, where St Albans II, top on 261 points, were playing Dunstable II, in 2nd, on 257 points. It was Dunstable who cracked, going down to only their 2nd defeat of the season, by 18 runs.

The regional divisions were largely sorted before this final weekend but 10 East was tense. Old Elizabethans III started the day on top, averaging 22, followed by Southgate Compton II on 21.2 and Botany Bay II on 21. A heavy defeat for Elizabethans pushed them down into 3rd place and gave the title to Compton.

100

Facilities The work of the League’s facilities team and the County’s Grounds Association was seen to be paying off. Bushey's ground was deemed unfit in 2022 but their facilities marks saw a vast improvement in 2023.

Thanks go to Jerry Dovey for overseeing the hard work.

Lutonian’s wicket recorded low marks in 2022 but improved by almost two points last season. The League is also asking for the changing rooms to be improved.

Greenwood Park in Division 6a won promotion, but their lack of sightscreens saw a ceiling put on their promotion from that division. They club agreed to have new sightscreens in place for the 2024, allowing their progress into Division 5B. Aldenham won 6B easily but the lack of showers could have prevented promotion.

The club agreed to a new installation and will be starting the new season at their highest level yet.

An Umpire’s Warning

The Herts League is always trying to learn from the experience of other leagues. Yorkshire is not, currently, a model for cricket, but an article and Tweet, very early in the 2023 season, sounded warning bells for all leagues.

Cricket Yorkshire said that deteriorating player behaviour towards umpires this season has prompted Huddersfield Cricket League (HCL) chairman Trevor Atkinson to issue a stern warning to club captains.

Trevor’s statement follows a number of HCL panel umpires reporting, during games played on Saturday, 6 May, an “unacceptable lack of respect and appreciation”.

According to the open letter, the issues included sarcastic comments, automatic challenging of virtually every material in-game decision made, visible unhappiness with decisions made regarding the management of matches affected by inclement weather, and being treated with a persistent general lack of respect.

As a result, one HCL panel umpire – said to be senior, experienced, and highly respected – resigned immediately.

Huddersfield today.

Hertfordshire tomorrow?

Levy Youngster Steps Up Season 2023 was a break-through year for Leverstock Green's young seamer Umar Shabir. His all-round efforts helped to propel the club’s 2nd XI to the division 5A title.

A product of LGCC's junior programme, the 15-year-old ended the campaign second in the team's wicket-taking charts with 19 at 19.47 from his 11 appearances in the 2s - also taking captain Sam Revell's eye with solid catching and some seriously committed ground fielding.

He proved a doughty lower-order operator with the bat too; a high score of 25 seems modest, but he often formed important partnerships with set batters by showing great patience at the wicket.

Allied to a great attitude to learning, Shabir's impressive development saw him presented with the club’s 'Young Player of The Year' award alongside the senior trophy winners.

Promotion/Relegation play-off

West Herts hold off Flitwick

West Herts came into this season’s play-off match after failing to win any of their last six completed matches. Their fight to avoid relegation from the Premier division pitted them against Championship runners-up Flitwick, who were driving strongly for promotion, having lost only one league match all season.

With the season-ending Premier play-offs, for the top four teams, have been scrapped, all the focus was on this game, played on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year!

At 74-6, West Herts were in some trouble but opener Arjun Patel was still there and with Lee Tyrrell rebuilt the innings, putting on 93. Patel went for 59 and Tyrrell eventually fell for 61 but they had given the Stags hope, with an all-out total of 197 in 46 overs.

Flitwick’s reply started positively, reaching 88-1 at the half-way point but the runs were starting to dry up in the face of the allspin attack of Steven Clark (2-26) and Ian Gurney (3-28). A partnership of 40 for the 9th wicket brought renewed hope to The end of the two innings, the hosts but the last pair still need to score 16 for promotion, captured from the live when the last over began.

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.
