A Message from our President

Dear all cricket lovers

As I write this, in one the coldest, longestlasting spells of weather I have known, it seems odd to be discussing the arrival of the cricket season, but it will be all the more welcome when it arrives!

I have said many times that young people taking part in cricket are much more likely to become good citizens because of what the game teaches you: behaviour, teamwork, effort, discipline, getting on with others… so many things.

The organising team at the top of our league have worked for many, many years to make this one of the best leagues in the country. It's been terrific to have seen it evolve now over 25 years of our involvement. Long may it continue and long may more and more boys and girls enjoy the pleasure and the camaraderie of our great game.

Very best wishes Nigel Wray

Another classic from Hertford’s chief photographer, Paul Williams. He called this shot of 1st/2nd team player, Flynn Ruskin, “Total Effort”, which also sums up Flynn’s approach to club cricket. His teammates say that his remarkable persistence as a fast bowler is testament to his dedication and resilience. Known for his relentless work ethic, Flynn consistently pushes himself to maintain his pace, which would make him a standout figure in any team.

A word on last year's 'cover-boy', North Mymms skipper, Nesan Jeyaratnam. Nesan achieved further fame during the season, with this award in Cricket World magazine, for the week of 19-26 August, after a public vote. He won Performance of the Week which features some of the top efforts from clubs and individuals around the UK. He won for 200 league appearances and 6,250 runs. Congratulations Nesan.

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 play-cricket 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

All the talk in every sphere of life now is about the need to change and following every season we review and plan appropriate alterations to our structure, rules and playing conditions. Some will have come from the ECB and will test our skills in trying to interpret and implement their revised processes, and others are based on club surveys and meetings we held with clubs last October, so I will highlight some of the 2025 changes following our November EGM and our February AGM.

Barry Hellewell gives his customary detailed and entertaining view of the 2024 season in his Secretary’s Report on page 84 of this handbook and he highlights several matters which you would do well to be sure you understand. I particularly draw your attention to the matter of Safeguarding in clubs and the need for timely DBS signoffs as they are critical to meeting League and club requirements.

Richard Bayliss has also produced an excellent review of the 2024 season on page 95 to remind you of your exploits on the field in 2024.

We welcome two new clubs for the coming season, namely Arkley CC and Studham CC, and extra teams from existing clubs, and they will be playing in the extended and revamped regional divisions section of the League. As agreed after the EGM, the structure for 2025 is now 16 divisions on an East and West basis starting at divisions 7 through to 14. This takes us to 103 clubs in 29 divisions, and we are also close to forming a division 15 for three extra teams wanting to play matches this year under the league banner.

The T20 Sunday competition for the non-Premier teams has been cancelled for 2025, due to reducing level of interest in its continuation over the last three years, so we decided that we can make better use of the associated prize money and work to provide support to more clubs. This decision will be reviewed in October.

The growing success of women and girls’ cricket has brought about a Sunday League primarily based in Hertfordshire, and it will operate this season as a linked section to our League, thanks to the hard work of Rebecca Kelly (who has now joined our Executive Committee) and her team. This was the outcome of a review of our clubs playing in the Home Counties Women’s League who felt that the travel issues were a concern, and they will be better served playing in Hertfordshire. This section is expected to grow over the coming years based on the amount of interest already being shown by more women and girls around the county after this move.

The Finance team with Anthony Levy as Treasurer and Hilary Stiffin as his deputy have streamlined our systems and ensured we are in a strong position to move forward with confidence as we look to generate

Ahead of a Saracens match, in September, Tony Johnson welcomed clubs to a combined Herts Premier League and Herts Junior Cricket League awards presentation event. He was then interviewed about the League, shown on big screens around the ground.

and spend our financial resources more effectively this season. With the backing of clubs, we are making four changes as follows:

• Discontinue the annual prize money for divisional winners and runners-up;

• Award a cup to winning clubs to keep rather than annually engraving the existing divisional cup;

• revise the annual fee for membership to £50 per team;

• and add a new levy of £50 for each successful application by clubs for an overseas player.

Clubs also agreed to the option of making payments to elected Executive members for excessive levels of workload, subject to full Executive Committee approval for what we consider to be exceptional circumstances.

I am also in discussion with the Club Cricket Charity on the possibility of providing clubs with a discounted offer of a defibrillator, training, and a four-year maintenance arrangement, which must be an especially important project to consider as a use of our funds. In addition, as mentioned in Barry’s Report, we will also support the Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund. See pages 20-23 for more on these important initiatives.

We are also investigating the possibility of producing a promotional video for clubs to use locally to showcase the strength of the league and encourage fresh players and families to join.

Thanks to the hard work and persistence of the Herts ACO, winter training courses for umpires and scorers have been in place over the winter and the good news at the time of writing is that the outlook for a full panel is promising, which puts us in better shape than other counties who more closely reflect the countrywide recruitment difficulties.

We remain in the fortunate position of keeping our two prime sponsors in Saracens, through Nigel Wray, and Kookaburra Readers, through Neil Pullen, and their staggering twenty-five years as our backers. Our view of funds allocation will allow us to revive the option to reinstate projects to provide clubs with branded products or services. Our grateful thanks go from all our clubs to Nigel and Neil for their extraordinary level of support.

For two reasons, we intend to repeat last year’s regional meetings for clubs around the county to canvas members on their views on structure, formats, and match rules; and in addition to help identify interest in finding members for our Executive Committee and its sub-committees.

Finally, I express my thanks to the Herts County Committee for its support every year, to current members of our overstretched Executive and its sub-committees, and to all the unsung heroes who volunteer so much of their time behind the scenes keeping our clubs in good health.

I hope the current April weather pattern is a sign of a better summer ahead and that you have a good season on and off the field.

My best wishes for a successful 2025.

Tony Johnson Chairman

Anniversary time

Last year, 2024, we celebrated two big anniversaries for the Herts League. It was 30 years since the League started, in its current format. And the 25th season playing under the pioneering Saracens sponsorship. League cricket in Hertfordshire started in 1968, but 16 elite clubs went their own separate way in 1974 (so the 50th anniversary, last year), before they all came back together, ahead of the 1994 season. Much of the credit for that reunion has to go to Tony Johnson, then Chairman of the Herts Competition, who became the first Chairman of the Premier Cricket League, a position which he still holds today.

The Hon. Secretary, in his report covering the 1994 season, summed it up in his first paragraph:

“After 18 months planning (and a 20 year break) the vast majority of Hertfordshire’s larger clubs eventually came together in a true county league, which spluttered into life during an appalling rain-affected first month. Subsequently, the standard of competition in all four divisions was high, and the first premier division champions of the re-constituted league – at 1st & 2nd XI level – were St Albans.”

That first season saw 75 clubs playing in four divisions, for 1st & 2nd XIs, and two divisions for 3rd XIs.

The following season, with Cockfosters and Dunstable among the League’s newcomers, the premier division increased to 20 teams. Sponsorship in those days came from Bryan, who supplied the match balls in a deal

which: “saved clubs nearly £18,000 a year.” While the county-wide cup competition, for the leading 32 clubs, offered “cash prizes and free match balls”, and was played under the banner of Furnell Transport. Such sponsorship was not unusual in club cricket but the next big announcement, at the turn of the century, was certainly ground-breaking.

Looking back at the 2000 season, the Hon. Secretary again summed it up well, in his annual report.

“In what was generally a ‘difficult’ year for the League’s administrators, there were several highlights which history will show made the millennium year a momentous one for Hertfordshire cricket. We kicked off – and I can use that term in this context – by securing one of the most imaginative sponsorship deals in amateur sport. Saracens Rugby Club agreed to inject £30,000 a year into the League in each of the next three years.

“Saracens saw this as an ideal community partnership, offering huge PR benefits. For the League, the income would initially cover administration costs, prize money, and the provision of colts’ helmets. Investment in the last item will be replaced by other initiatives in subsequent years, as part of a dynamic package. For example, it is planned to address coaching issues as part of youth development. For our member clubs the sponsorship package means a three-year ‘holiday’ from subscriptions, handbook charges, and hopefully some other incidental costs. Thank you Saracens.”

Hoddesdon were crowned champions of that first Saracens Herts League, in a year which also saw the launch of the Home Counties Premier League, the ECB’s brainchild to channel the best players into fewer clubs and so put club cricketers on the pathway to professionalism.

And if the colts’ helmets initiative seems an odd one, it came at a time when helmets were becoming compulsory, meaning yet further outlay for parents.

Two huge agreements in two momentous years for league cricket in Hertfordshire.

These images will trigger memories for many 'senior' players. The annual dinner and presentation of awards night was a big event. Opposite & here are three menus, from 1984, 1994 and 2004, under 3 different and much-valued sponsors.

Reflections

Nigel Wray reflects on Saracens' 25 years sponsorship of league cricket in Hertfordshire.

Nigel Wray is a selfconfessed sports afficionado and a "huge fan" of cricket. He became President of the Herts League 1998, when also Chairman of Saracens RFC, prompting a remarkable sporting partnership.

Saracens had moved its home ground to Watford in 1997, and Nigel was keen build the level of local support. “It was a deal to benefit cricket but also gave us a platform to get the Sarries name wide-spread, creating tremendous goodwill for the League and for Saracens,” he said.

But he suggested there was more to it than that: “I’m a backer of people. In the Herts League committee I saw a group of people running a huge league, who really wanted to make something happen, and had the passion to make it happen.”

The sponsorship underpinned Nigel’s deepseated belief in the power of sport to benefit so many people, especially the young. “For me it’s been a great pleasure and a privilege to have helped a little bit in Hertfordshire cricket. I’m always interested in excellence and seeing great players but it also about getting kids into the game and giving them a chance,” he said.

He added: “I see terrific junior sections in so many of our clubs, with girls increasingly involved. I can’t think of anything much better, for kids growing up, than playing cricket. They get an understanding of teamwork, of camaraderie, and of people working together. It’s all becoming more and more important. Our clubs give young people a chance.”

He says he loves to quote Nelson Mandela, who said that sport speaks to youth in a language they understand.

Nigel is delighted how the Saracens sponsorship has developed and can’t really account for how it has thrived for 25 years. “It’s largely down to the League, he says. “If you have people you trust, you let them get on with it, and that’s what we’ve done.”

New Women's League

Welcome to the inaugural season of the Hertfordshire Women’s Cricket League! We are delighted to have 26 teams across Herts and Beds join us in what we hope will be an exciting season of cricket.

We are filling the shoes of the Home Counties Women’s Cricket League, which has supported women’s cricket with a playing offer for the last six years. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank them for their support over the years.

As we look to the future of women’s cricket in the HWCL, we hope to have laid the foundations for our playing members to enjoy an inclusive cricket offer. This begins with entry level cricket, in the form of a softball league, and hits the top with a competitive multi-format hardball premier league.

The league and its structure was formed by collating information from club surveys and forums beginning in November 2023. 96% of players, coaches and managers who completed our initial survey were in favour of a Hertfordshire Women’s Cricket League. It transpired that the primary reason wasn’t geography, as we had initially thought, but the desire to avoid club and county match clashes. Players wanted the option to play both club and county fixtures, which in turn would also help clubs with their team availability. This became our USP.

With the vast majority of women’s cricket being played on Sundays, the women’s playing calendar is extremely busy. We have worked hard with both county fixture secretaries at Herts and Beds to carry out the wishes of the players. Fortunately, at this time, we only have one clash with our league fixtures and women’s county fixtures. Whilst county matches are being played, club players still want an offering, so we have created the Herts 100 Cup and Plate competitions. This is a reincarnation of the popular Super 8s competition hosted by the Home Counties League. Upon registering, clubs had the opportunity to enter either a 9-a-side ‘out is out’ competition, also known as the Herts 100 Cup, or 8-a-side pairs competition, also known as the Herts 100 Plate competition. Both are intended to aid development, and are a great entry point for softball players or teams looking to transition into hardball. 91% of those who completed the survey wanted a finals day, so we are scheduled to host the top two Cup and Plate teams who will battle it out on 7th September!

The main HWCL will consist of two divisions. We have the premiership, with six clubs playing a total of ten matches. These matches will be bookended by T20 matches. and the T35 matches will be sandwiched in the middle. Our teams will be supported on match days by panel umpires, which sets the standard that we want to achieve for this league and women’s cricket. The next division down will be our Championship division. This will host 11 teams who will also play ten matches. Their matches will be bookended by T20 fixtures, with T30 matches sitting in the middle.

We have seen a sharp increase in women’s softball these last two years, which prompted the need for a women’s softball league. Last year, a number of softball teams carried out some research on how this could look. The result of which, has led to seven teams entering into the league. They will be playing T16 pairs cricket, and will have some flexibility in scheduling their six fixtures. By providing multiple playing offerings and formats, we hope to

encourage more women to join this fantastic game, and girls who currently play in the Herts Junior League now have a clear pathway into women’s club cricket, that is more accessible that ever.

This league wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the HPCL and its committee members, as well as the newly formed sub-committee. Thank you all for your hard work and support in making this a reality. We will be inviting feedback at the end of the season to help us to continue to build on the HWCL. In the meantime, we hope you all have a fantastic season of cricket.

Levy Green Starlets Shine

Becky Tyson made history for Leverstock Green by signing a two-year professional contract with Hampshire Women in Autumn 2024 – the first player ever to move from The Green directly into pro ranks.

Two impressive performances for their ‘Southern Vipers’ brand towards the end of the 2024 season convinced Hants to sign the spin-bowling all-rounder.

And, as well as appearing in county colours, Tyson will also compete in The Hundred, after making the cut in the 2025 draft. She will be part of London Spirit’s squad.

Still a proud member at LGCC, where she started in the junior ranks, Becky is daughter of Levy legend Dave Tyson, who played for over 35 years for the club's 1st XI; scoring over 15,000 runs and taking 1,500 wickets. Mum, Ann Tyson is, by her own admission and indeed voluntarily, a 'cricket widow'; a dedicated supporter of club functions, as well as serving a long stint as 1st XI scorer.

Another Leverstock Green player, 1st XI team captain Troy Henry, made it a double for the club by signing a one-year ‘rookie’ pro contract with Sussex CCC.

A leading participant of the ACE (African Caribbean Engagement) programme from its inception, the charity awarded him their own ‘pro’ status in order to support his training schedule during winter 2024/25.

This ACE contract was signed live on Sky Sports (pictured below) and he may well now feature on the same channel this summer, lining up for the Sharks.

Like Becky, Troy is a product of the LGCC junior system, and spent last winter down under, in the Joe Root Academy, gaining valuable in-game experience in Adelaide.

The spin-bowling all-rounder became the club’s captain in 2024, at the tender age of just 19, then earned further recognition with a place in the Hertfordshire team.

Views from the Middle

The Herts League has worked closely with umpires throughout the county, and especially with the Herts Association of Cricket Officials, to maintain high standards and ensure that the top divisions can be covered by an independent panel.

The numbers on that panel have varied for the past few years, leading to umpires below the top two divisions occasionally having to stand on their own. So is this a worrying trend?

At our request, the HACO carried out a short survey, this winter, to gauge longer term intentions. We wanted to discover whether the League/clubs/players should be concerned about future numbers of umpires. Also, what are the factors which would help to make life better for umpires?

We also invited two umpires to give us their assessment of current standards and issues, based on their experiences in the middle.

Survey results. What did we learn?

Last season, 66 umpires on the league panel covered around 850 appointments, that’s an average of around 13 each. Excellent coverage and better than the previous season, but how could it improve?

Recruiting more umpires is an obvious answer, so what’s standing in their way? Then, better availability from all panel members, so, other than competing events (holidays, etc), is there a reluctance to commit to a weekly schedule? Those were the main points we tried to cover in a short survey of panel members, at the start of the year.

First, a few basic numbers. Out of our 66 panel umpires, 60 responded to the survey, which is excellent. They were asked to give their age groups, in decades, and only 20% are over 70. The great majority are in the younger age groups, suggesting considerable longevity on the panel. They were asked about their intentions to continue standing in the middle and just 18% said they don’t expect to do more than three years on the panel. That means replacing around four umpires each year, which the HACO believes is manageable. The main ‘unknown’ quoted by umpires in their forecasts, is, unsurprisingly, health & fitness. On the positive side, around 41% of umpires hope to continue for seven or more years. So what changes on the field could help with umpire retention & recruitment? We asked about player behaviour and the responses are shown in the following charts. Player behaviour was seen as the most important factor in deciding their future plans by a third of respondents. The 2nd chart shows that, thankfully, only 20% felt that

player behaviour has become worse (and only slightly worse) in the last five years, with the rest feeling it has stayed the same or improved. (The ‘not applicable’ responses were from umpires who have not yet been on the panel for five years).

The last two questions, below, tried to drill further into the events which affect an umpire’s views, and the scale of such issues. First, we asked after how many League matches did they leave the ground thinking “I did not enjoy that game?”.

The chart shows that, whilst 82% of umpires left a game having not enjoyed it, it is good that this was mainly in just one or two games.

Linking our first general topic (longevity) to the second (improving the umpire experience) we asked about factors causing lack of enjoyment. These were the responses.

The two leading reasons were ‘player attitude’ (mentioned by 51.7%) and ‘Unhelpful/ aggressive captains’ (43.3%).

In addition to the collective views, the respondents were invited to express their individual feelings on how to improve the experience for match umpires.

Overwhelmingly, the role of captains came through in the comments. It is clear that the captain’s role is pivotal for umpires. Here’s a selection of the views:

"Player behaviour tends to follow the captain’s lead. Issues very rarely arise with good captains."

"A lot depends on the captain and the culture of the club."

"…. lack of captain co-operation resolving player behaviour."

"A couple of teams, led by ineffective captains, are consistently challenging."

"Good captains who control things are key."

"You can never win with some skippers, no matter how much you try to help."

"One very unenjoyable match with two captains not managing their teams effectively and hence players pushed the boundary too frequently."

"Certain captains and players have a 'win at all costs' attitude that includes deliberately playing the umpires as much as the opposition."

Commenting on this aspect of the survey, Rob Riddleston, Recruitment & Retention Officer for the HACO, said: “We expect captains to work with umpires to help manage the game. It’s vital they do not see this as ‘Us v Them’ but a collaborative approach, even if they disagree with some decisions.”

On another topic, as the numbers show, home club hospitality needs some attention. Not the thorny issue of lunches and teas but more generally. Rob Riddleston summed up the officials’ views, saying: “Umpires want to be welcomed and thanked at the start and the end of a game. A handshake, a smile, a cup of tea, and post-match chat over a drink at the bar, are always appreciated.”

Finally, demonstrating that there’s room for improvement on all sides, some umpires

suggested there are areas where they need to ‘up’ their own game.

For example in consistency, summed up in this comment: “There is guidance to follow and providing all umpires are consistent with application of laws and sanctions the players would fully appreciate the boundaries with behaviour. Unfortunately, consistency with application of both law and sanctions is often raised as an issue and can lead to problems.”

Rob Riddleston commented: “Consistency is one the most important factors. At HACO, we spend a lot of time on this, both consistent decision making and discipline management.”

In addition, umpires were honest enough to recognise and admit their own failings, in their comments. On this aspect, Rob Riddleston commented: “In umpire training we always aim to teach the importance of humility, and whilst we want confident umpires, arrogance has no place. We ask umpires to be selfreflective after each game and the motto is ‘every game is a learning game’. Dealing with mistakes and handling mental pressure is a key factor for umpires.”

Here are the views and experiences of two panel umpires

Chris Price, Umpire, Premier & Championship divisions

The 2025 season will mark my fifth year umpiring in the Premier and Championship divisions. Many players and captains may not realise the continuous professional development involved in being an umpire. This includes webinars, meetings, and full-day conferences throughout the year. These sessions cover law reviews and the ever-evolving playing regulations but primarily focus on match management and personal decision-making processes.

The most enjoyable days on the field are those where a positive rapport is built with both teams, grounded in mutual respect. One of the biggest sources of potential conflict is the weather. Despite several wet weekends, every captain I encountered throughout last season was keen to play whenever possible, while also being realistic when conditions made play impossible.

A recurring challenge we face is determining when to stop play due to drizzle and assessing the point at which conditions shift from ‘not ideal’ to ‘unreasonable’, as this can

be highly subjective. Additionally, towards the end of the season, bad light became a significant factor in matches. While we understand that teams will always seek an advantage, persistently pressuring umpireswhether by captains or, more often, by players - does not work in their favour.

Regarding player behaviour, standards have remained fairly consistent in recent years. Notably, the Premier Division sees the best conduct, as players generally have a clearer understanding of expectations regarding the game and umpiring decisions. One consistent pattern is that the stronger the captain, the better the overall team behaviour. Conversely, some teams appear to have multiple captains, leading to poor conduct both towards opponents and umpires. Rather than isolated incidents, this often manifests as a steady stream of questioning remarks after nearly every decision.

A particularly disappointing example from the 2024 season involved a captain attempting to persuade the umpires to rescind a disciplinary report after the match. While no one enjoys writing reports, they are essential to maintaining high standards so that everyone, umpires included, can continue to enjoy the game.

Ultimately, I find umpiring a rewarding experience, and I look forward to the new season with enthusiasm. While challenges will always arise, the shared love of cricket keeps us all coming back each year.

Mark Rivlin, Umpire, Divisions

One-2B

I am about to embark on my 16th season umpiring in the Herts League. After a threeyear ‘apprenticeship’ with Old Cholmeleians in the lower divisions, I joined the panel in 2013, and have officiated in divis 1, 2a & 2b. Those of you who have read my book ‘Secret Umps’ (secretumps.co.uk) will acknowledge my appreciation of players and club officials in the League. Yes, I’ve had disagreements over the years, and I regret some decisions I have made, but I have a lot of time and respect for every person involved in a league game. I know what you give to club cricket, and in return, you rightly expect and deserve a high standard of umpiring. With points and bragging rights at stake,

nothing beats the tension of a closely fought league cricket match. In 1973, aged 17, I played my first league game for Sandmoor CC in the North Leeds Barkston Ash League. If you think your club sledging is cutting edge, it has nothing on the 1973 slip cordon of Rose Forgrove CC. In those days, umpires were not to be messed with. I thought I’d got away with a caught-behind until the umpire came up with this brilliancy: “Are you going to walk sonny, or do I have to give you out?”

From that day onwards, I walked.

I speak for all my colleagues on the panel when I say that we give everything to ensure that every game is well managed. From the best view in the house, we are committed to providing a first-class and seamless service, and we strive to ensure we know the Laws and Regulations, and that we work as a team. We are part of a sporting tradition with a history of more than 200 years – it is a privilege to be part of the circuit.

Our umpires’ association HACO provides excellent mentoring, courses, assessments and regular meetings. My mantra is ‘improvement’, and that includes learning from mistakes, being bold in decision-making, and striving to ensure the match flows. I have a wide berth on reporting players (just three in 15 seasons). I understand that gerunds and expletives are not automatically worthy of triggering a report, I’m not looking for trouble, and I never impose myself on the game.

Players often bring up the importance of consistency. This is a crucial part of umpiring and I accept that the quality can be variable, particularly calling wides.

I don’t get into a hissy fit about captains’ ratings. Their opinions are important. Of course, there is room for a discussion about a close run-out, caught behind and LBW, but to put all ratings on one ball that may have gone against your team is absurd. I am always available for a discussion after the game. I believe the best way to improve is to accept constructive feedback from players. Finally, a few words about sole umpiring. In the past three seasons I have officiated nine times on my own. The effectiveness of umpiring puts too much responsibility on the sole umpire who is at the bowler’s end for 600 balls. The good news is that we have new panel umpires standing in the forthcoming season.

County Awards

The Cricket Collective Awards is an ECB scheme that recognises our fantastic volunteers and coaches from the recreational game. All of Hertfordshire’s winners in 2024 were either Herts League clubs or individuals associated with our clubs.

Recognising our Scorers

We all know the value of scorers. Just as with umpires, our cricket wouldn’t be possible without someone to record every run and wicket. In the book or, increasingly, online.

Our top divisions are blessed with some highly capable and conscientious scorers, and it was good to see them getting recognised with appointments at higher levels, last season. And for one of that elite group, her scoring achievements contributed to receiving one of the County’s top awards. Here’s the role of honour.

Ian Rippington (Hitchin) –17 May, England Women v Pakistan T20, at Wantage Road, Northampton.

Hilary was the recipient of the Herts County President’s Award, presented by James Wright. Announcing his award at the AGM, James said that Hilary has made an enormous contribution to Hertfordshire cricket. Not just these major matches, but also by scoring nearly all of North Mymms Premier League games, several of Herts Men’s county matches, and almost all the over 60s 2nd XI matches.

Helen Smithson (Chorleywood, pictured right) 17 July, England Women v New Zealand T20, at Lord’s.

Anthony Levy (Cockfosters), Liz Woods (Hoddesdon) and Hilary Stiffin (North Mymms) all scored in the over 70s World Cup tournament, held in England, in July & August. Anthony & Liz scored in three matches, and Hilary scored in two.

Hilary Stiffin had an especially memorable season. In May she scored the ODI, England Women v Pakistan, at the County Ground, Chelmsford. Then at the end of August, was invited to Lord’s (pic. above) and scored England Men's five wickets victory over Sri Lanka, in the 2nd Test. That was followed by the Rachel Heyhoe-Flint Trophy final, at Leicester. Against this background, in February,

Off the field, Hilary (pictured left, with James Wright) organises and delivers two-day courses for prospective scorers and is heavily involved in cricket administration. She is the Assistant Treasurer of the Hertfordshire Premier Cricket League and Finance Director of Hertfordshire Cricket Ltd, which last year had an income of £770,000. She is also Treasurer of North Mymms. James closed by saying: “Her contribution to cricket in Hertfordshire is exceptional and I am very proud to have the honour in presenting the President’s award to Hilary Stiffin.”

There was one more major match of note, for Hilary. That was for Sunrisers, in the final group match of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, at Radlett, in September. It was memorable for featuring two female officials from Hertfordshire, as, in addition to Hilary, Rose Dovey was one of the umpires. A wholly appropriate pairing (pictured left) as it was Rose who received James's 2024 President’s Award.

Richard White

Back in February, the first draft of the story opposite, about our highly successful scorers, included a paragraph about Sawbridgeworth's long-serving scorer, Richard White. That was because, at the start of the 2024 season, Richard had been paid a wonderful tribute by his club, in recognition of his huge contribution, over 40 years. The tribute was to name the Sawbridgeworth scorebox in Richard's honour.

Then, on 21 February, we received the shock news that Richard had passed away. In November he had suffered a stroke and although still in hospital, seemed to be making progress, before he endured complications.

As well as the first XI scorer, Richard served as the club's fixtures secretary for more than 20 years. “Richard was a huge part of Sawbridgeworth Cricket Club for four decades. It is difficult to imagine what the club will be like without him there, this summer,” said chairman, James Bovaird. “His passion for the game and for our club was absolutely evident to all. This was demonstrated by his amazing ability to remember a huge number of statistics and individual performances going back over so many years. Richard was made a life member of the club over a decade ago, in recognition of his contribution."

Danny Wilson, who scored more than 15,000 runs for Sawbridgeworth, and played in their Herts Cup win of 2003, said: “No-one felt a win or loss more than Whitey – and that cup winning team of 2003 had a very special bond. He was a big part of that.

From Richard's funeral service:

"Richard gave his life to cricket and cricket gave him life"

The Sawbridgeworth CC annoucement of Richard's death called him a stalwart of the club, having scored his first game in 1984. From that point, he did not miss a 1st XI league game in 40 years.

Richard, a former sports journalist with the now defunct Herts & Essex Observer and Harlow Star, made scoring an artform.

All first XI players who made a century were given a ‘wagon wheel’ of their innings, a thing of beauty but with only a methodology he understood. Such was his skill that he helped the BBC Radio Test Match Special team on occasions with their county coverage.

“Those were very special times for us all and we all cherish the memories. Whitey will be forever our 12th man. His knowledge and passion, for the club game, were truly incredible.”

Outside cricket, Richard had an encyclopaedic knowledge of chart music, which was put to the test on BBC Radio 2. in Ken Bruce’s legendary PopMaster quiz. He won, of course.

Here's Richard’s wagon wheel for a Danny Wilson century for Sawbo v Stortford, in the Herts Cup, 20 July 2008.

The Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund

In early December, a new charitable fund with strong Herts League associations, was launched.

The Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund has been established to honour Nick Gandon and the late Simon Prodger. Nick was a former 1st XI captain and stalwart of Hoddesdon. Simon (Prodge), in his later years as a club cricketer, moved into Hertfordshire and played for Hoddesdon and then Watford Town, where he became chairman.

In April 2023, Prodge died unexpectedly. He was a man who did so much good for cricket, becoming managing director of both the National Cricket Conference and the Club Cricket Conference. Nick Gandon was a great friend of Prodge, then, in January 2024, was diagnosed with non-curable pancreatic cancer. In his own words, Nick said he was approaching “the final furlong”.

With full support from the Prodger and Gandon families, the trustees of the Club

Cricket Charity created ‘the Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund’ (GPLF), in the names of two men who adored cricket, worked together on many ‘cricket for good’ initiatives at home and abroad, and cared about the same causes.

This charitable fund will create a legacy to both men, raising funds to support causes close to their hearts. The fund will operate until the end of 2025. It was launched to raise significant funds for four specific charities: the Saracens Foundation, the Club Cricket Charity, the East Africa Character Development Trust (Kenya) and the Alsama Project in the Lebanon.

Among the principles which these charities share, are:

1) work designed to achieve transformational change among young people contending with multiple disadvantages;

2) using cricket and/or sport, more widely, as a medium for engaging young people.

All clubs and their players can make direct and indirect contributions. Among four main fund-raising strands, the one which we all can to identify with most easily, is called ‘Pass the Bat On’. This is a cricket bat refurbishment scheme with a target of sourcing 500 used bats - in reasonable condition, capable of being restored to ‘almost good as new’. These bats will be repaired and re-sold at affordable prices.

Do you have a redundant and unwanted bat in your loft, or a collection of them in your club’s store-room? These could be refurbished and sold at prices as low as £50. All income generated through sales will be added to the Fund. Look out for information, during the

season, about how these bats will be collected together. Direct financial contributions can be made by clubs & individuals, either one-off or regular donations, over a 12-month period, via the JustGiving platform. The aim is to generate £500,000 during 2025, via donations, ‘pass the bat on’, and other schemes, for the four good causes, to create a real legacy for two people whose contribution to cricket and society is being honoured.

If, like Nick and Prodge, you believe that cricket could/should be a force for good, you can help to make that belief a reality, by supporting this appeal.

“To say that Dad ‘lived and breathed’ cricket is an understatement. Everyone who knows him will recognise his boundless passion and commitment to cricket and his wanting to make it a game for everyone.”

Jo and Amy Gandon

“Dad adored cricket. He was happiest coaching colts, encouraging young people from less privileged communities into cricket and promoting his passion for the game and its character-building properties.”

Nick Gandon

Nick Gandon was at Lord's in December 2024, leading the launch of the Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund. He spoke to the sizeable audience with his usual drive and determination, yet knowing his cancer diagnosis meant he would not live to see the benefits his charity would provide to so many. Nick passed away on 28 February 2025. His memorialservice wil be at Haileybury School on 25 October. There were so many public tributes that, for his obituary, we are providing extracts from just a few of these.

From Hoddesdon CC:

"Nick’s remarkable 50-year association with Hoddesdon Cricket Club began in 1972 when he and his older brother, Andrew, joined the club following their father, Reverend Percy Gandon’s declaration: “I am vicar of Hoddesdon, and you boys should play your cricket for Hoddesdon.” Over the years, Nick became a key figure at the club, serving as first XI captain, chairman for a decade, and most recently as the current club president.

It is almost impossible to do justice to a 50-year relationship with someone who brought energy, wisdom, and an unmistakable sparkle to everything he touched. As a player, Nick was a stylish accumulator of runs and a skilful slow bowler, but it was as a captain that he truly left his mark—guiding teams of young and inexperienced players with a sharp cricketing mind and an unwavering belief in their potential.

Beyond the boundary, Nick was so much more than just a cricketer. He was an erudite thinker and principled to the core, a man of deep cricketing knowledge, and a charismatic storyteller with an intelligent wit that could both inspire and entertain.

You would often find him at the bar, still clad in his cricket whites and brown leather shoes, a glass of red in one hand and a cigar in the other, regaling wideeyed youngsters with tales of Hoddy’s past or leading an impromptu singalong into a makeshift beer-bottle microphone. His presence was larger than life, and his loss has been deeply felt throughout the club. We will miss him enormously."

From the Club Cricket Conference:

"In an interview with The Cricketer last year, after his winning the Pride of Cricket Award, Nick expressed his passion for the recreational game of cricket and his firm belief that the myriads of volunteers which keep our game alive should be recognised, acknowledged and supported. Without them, the game will disappear in a sea of commercialism."

From the MCC:

"He was Director of the Cricket Foundation, where he was a driving force behind Chance to Shine that has done so much to revive cricket in state schools. He was also an active Member of MCC, serving on the MCC Committee from 2019-22, which he did with typical energy and determination."

From the ECB:

"Nick Gandon was effectively the first Director of Chance To Shine, with responsibility for setting up a new independent charity following the closure

of the ECB’s own charity, the Cricket Foundation. He worked very closely with Duncan Fearnley, and also with Mark Nicholas and Mervyn King who were jointly responsible for developing the whole concept behind Chance To Shine.

Nick’s great strength was his ability to communicate the vision of the charity. Whether it was in writing, in person, or at a meeting, Nick was simply terrific at engaging an audience. Without doubt his personal efforts were crucial to the early fundraising success of the charity.

Nick spoke eloquently as Chair of Hoddesdon Cricket Club on behalf of his club, and others, at key meetings convened as several of the wellknown Hertfordshire clubs were debating on whether to withdraw from the ECB Accredited Home Counties Premier League and create a single league structure for Hertfordshire. His contributions at those meeting enabled salient points to be discussed in detail benefitting all involved."

From a lengthy obituary in The Times 3 March 2025:

"After 24 years as a teacher Gandon left the profession, having become a housemaster at Uppingham at the age of 31 and boosted the number of pupils at Haileybury, to become director of the Cricket Foundation at Lord’s. This was in part because he felt attainment in exams and league tables was being pursued more vigorously than the development of pupils in the round.

He preferred a holistic approach to teaching in which extracurricular pursuits such as sport and acting were valued. Gandon concentrated on charitable work, some of this linked to education, for the rest of his career."

One to make you stop and think

Spotted on ‘X’, last season:

"So a week ago we lost a player to illness on the pitch. Not my team or our club but in the league I play in.

Yesterday, a young 19 year-old lad was saved by fantastic response from 2 ladies at our ground who used our Defib to save him. All I know is that he is semi-stable in hospital. I'm interested to know how many clubs have a Defib and people who know how to use it?"

Since 2017, the Club Cricket Charity has partnered with the ECB to support the distribution of portable defibrillators to cricket clubs, through its Defib Fund. So far, over 800 have been deployed, of which over 90 have been used to support those who suffer a cardiac arrest on the cricket field. Find out more at: www.theclubcricketcharity.org/defib-fund/

Allen Wells

Obituaries

Just as the 2024 handbook was being finalised, we learned of the passing of Allen Wells, one of the League’s past and most respected umpires, since its formation. It was not possible to include a full tribute last year, and do so now, courtesy of fellow umpire, Nick Hall.

When I joined the Hertfordshire Cricket League umpires’ panel, back in the last century, Allen was one of the ‘go to’ colleagues for advice and support. He was already a highly experienced official whose career has started in the 1970s. In addition to his long service on the League, Allen stood in several Furnell/Becker Transport Cup Finals, in the 1980s and 90s. When the Premier Leagues emerged in 2001, Allen seemingly had no further aspirations to pursue his career much beyond the county boundaries and he decided to restrict his appointments to the Herts feeder league of the Home Counties Premier League, notching up a further173 matches.

Allen’s commitment to umpiring was outstanding; he rarely missed a league Saturday and would often stand on every day in between. I’m sure his appointments ran well into four figures!

Allen was a great story-teller and loved to regale countless antidotes to anyone prepared to listen or read them. I was involved in one, which Allen later put in writing, joyously entitled ‘When the Beetles came to North Mymms’. I was standing at square leg at the time, when my left ear suddenly became the temporary home to a buzzing intruder. I just about managed to call ‘dead ball’, by which time Allen and a couple of nearby fielders grabbed glasses of water which were poured into my ear, encouraging a large black beetle to swim out!

Like many other colleagues and players who knew him, Allen leaves us with fond and lasting memories. He was quick to support his younger colleagues and the players loved him, which undoubtedly helped him with match management. Allen was a great traditionalist; always immaculately turned out - he did not like to remove his white coat even on the hottest of days and often took to the field without a cap or hat, revealing his distinctive grey hair.

Although Allen wasn’t a great committee man, he whole-heartedly supported the Umpires Association, reportedly for almost 50 years, including as a Vice President. As Auditor, he worked with at least three Treasurers, before stepping down in 2019.

Allen was a terrific character, a fantastic supporter of and contributor to Hertfordshire cricket and a revered colleague. Thank you, Allen. Nick Hall

Tony Foster

It is with the greatest sadness that Hatfield & Crusaders learnt of the death of its Club Captain, Tony Foster.

To describe Tony as a club legend is an understatement, with career stats of 31,564 runs, 2,893 wickets and 605 catches.

Making his debut for the 1st XI, aged 17, in 1956, versus Northampton Polytechnic, Tony made an instant impact with an unbeaten 53, the first of 154 occasions he reached the half-century mark. Tony impressed as a youngster and was rewarded by being selected to represent Hertfordshire County Colts against Bedfordshire in 1957 (the first Hatfield player to represent the county since the 19th century). The following year, the committee awarded ‘the Major B G Mariott Prize’ bat to Tony, “who has acquitted himself quite creditably on the field of play and had also worked for the club quite appreciably into the bargain”, according to the citation. The first of his five batting prizes was soon to follow in 1959. In 1964, Tony became only the fourth batsman in the club’s history to pass 1,000 runs for the season; his total of 1,327 was not surpassed until 1976. In total, Tony would score over 1,000 in a season on five occasions. His most productive spell would be the six seasons between 1972 and 1977 during which he accumulated 6,014 runs. Tony’s first of seven bowling prizes came in 1965, and this was also the year in which he began a run of 13 consecutive seasons as Saturday 1st XI captain (another club record). At the time of his election as Sunday captain in 1964, he was the youngest player to have held the position. His slow left-arm bowling reached its peak in 1973/74 with 105 and 101 wickets taken respectively. The first of these was accompanied by scoring 1,050 with the bat, the first and only occasion that would

see a Hatfield player accomplish the double. Between 1966 and 1975 when Tony was the club’s leading wicket-taker six times and he is also one of only three Hatfield players to have taken three hat-tricks, two of which at the ripe old age of 61!

In 1968 and again in 1970, Tony added the catching prize to his ever-growing trophy cabinet.

Over 30 years after being selected for Herts Colts, Tony was again to achieve county representation, spending the twilight of his career playing for Hertfordshire’s over 50s, 60s, and 70s.

As well as his record-breaking performances on the field, Tony contributed tirelessly off the field. When the job of Fixture Secretary was created in 1967, Tony was the first incumbent. In 1975 he became Chairman of the development sub-committee, responsible for the move from Hatfield Park to Ascots Lane, and was also Chairman of the general committee during the traumatic period of the move. In the 1980s, five years (across two spells) were spent as Team Secretary. Finally, from 1995 to 2007, Tony was Colts’ Manager. In 1974, in addition to all his work for Hatfield, Tony became Secretary of the Herts Competition.

When Tony finally retired, 60 years after his debut, he was unchallenged as the highest wicket-taker for the club. Indeed, he is still over 1,000 wickets clear of his nearest rival.

Chris Matthews

Flitwick Cricket Club and Bedfordshire Cricket were deeply saddened by the passing of Chris Matthews, just prior to the start of the 2024 season, following a short illness.

Chris was affectionately known by most in cricketing circles as ‘Dino’ and had been Flitwick’s first team scorer in recent seasons. He undertook that role, like most others, in an unfussy but completely dedicated manner, never missing a single week.

Chris joined Flitwick in 1983, when he moved into the town, and became a fixture in either the 2nd or 3rd teams. He soon assumed a captaincy role and his calm and well organised approach were very well received. So many of our talented youngsters will have developed their skills through Chris’s approach, giving them the opportunity to take

every part in the game as they moved into adult cricket. Indeed, George Thurstance recounts his formative years opening the batting in the 2s with Chris as a key influence. On the field, records show that Chris played 1,184 matches for Flitwick, recording 16,400+ runs. He was also a handy wicketkeeper, demonstrating a unique style which didn’t always involve using the gloves! Yet he registered 446 catches and 86 stumpings. Off the field, Chris was an absolute stalwart of the club, a dedicated and loyal volunteer who we were so very fortunate to have. This included an almost 30-year stint as club Treasurer, up until 2014. Then, latterly, postretirement from full time work, he was our Head Groundsman as we developed our 2nd ground and continued to improve the pitches on the main ground. As well as time given to FCC, Chris was Treasurer of Bedfordshire Seniors, having played both over 50s and 60s cricket in various teams, before reverting to the laptop and the scorebox.

At the end of the 2023 season, Chris was still fit and well looking forward to his regular walking and skiing breaks, however an illness took hold in the 2024 winter, and he was taken from us at the age of just 69.

Chris will always be remembered fondly by all who knew him. As a club, Flitwick will continue to honour his memory. He would certainly have been so proud that the 1st XI finally secured promotion to the Premier Division and would have joined in with the celebrations with a beer, or three!

RIP Dino

Alistair Buchanan

Alistair played his club cricket for Welwyn Garden City, joining when he was 15, and was captain from 1965 until 1967, going undefeated throughout his final season.

In his later years he was most frequently seen at Hertford and was a great friend of the club, being elected a Vice President in 1977. Alistair’s son, Giles, played for Hertford during the 1990s.

Alistair was best known as a stalwart of the Hertfordshire County Cricket Association, having been a member for 57 years, of which 48 were on the committee. He ran the Herts Young Cricketers for 18 years, before becoming HCCA’s Chairman, a position he held for 19 years, before becoming President, from 2014.

Three big birthdays

We are pleased to support three of our clubs who are celebrating important anniversaries.

Hemel’s 175th

Hemel Hempstead Town is celebrating its 175th anniversary. The club was formed in 1850, by local councillors and tradesmen, playing under the name Hemel Hempstead & Boxmoor CC.

became the first Hemel bowler to take all 10 wickets in an innings.

Various pavilions and tea rooms came and went, between 1889 and 1979, with the current two-storey pavilion completed in 2009, ahead of the nursery ground being developed in 2012.

The earliest recorded game was against Watford on 7 August 1850, although the local newspaper report says the game was a ‘rematch’ but there are no records of the prequel!

A meeting of the Box Moor Trust in 1857 allowed the ground on Heath Park to be enclosed with “posts and chains for the purpose of cricket”. This didn't go down well with local farmers who dumped the chains and posts in the canal. This did them no good, as the Chief Magistrate (Club President - Sir Astley Paston Cooper!!), severely punished them at local Petty Sessions. The first game at Heath Park took place on 19th May 1857, with Hemel beating Redbourn by 63 runs

In 1873, Hemel made 457-6 against Sussex Wanderers before bowling them out for 11. That score remains a club all-time record, and the 446-run victory is their highest ever runs win. In a closer nine-wicket win in the return fixture on 30 August 1873, Jim Gentle

The Club's first silverware was achieved in the 1887 County Challenge Cup, where Hemel beat St Albans at Redbourn CC (who delayed the start by 35 minutes as they had failed to provide a ball and bails for the match!). Senior honours subsequently included winning the Hertfordshire League Premier Division ‘A’, in 1999, Home Counties Premier League div. 2 East in 2002, Home Counties Sunday League, five times, and Chess Valley League, twice.

Cup success came in 1986, 87 and 88, with the Furnell Transport Herts Cup, with victories in the Heath Park Cup final (formerly the Gazette Cup) 20 times - including a tie with Bovingdon in 1965, and in the Watford Observer Cup final, four times.

In 2024, Hemel became a Disability Champion Club, launching visually impaired cricket with the support of Herts Cricket and Blind Cricket England & Wales. They will start playing matches, as Hertfordshire Comets, in 2025.

Berkhamsted’s 150th

Berkhamsted has reached its 150th anniversary and plans to celebrate in style, during 2025. Special events include a 6-a-side tournament on the May bank holiday, an under 11 Girls’ tournament, a grand reunion for current and past members, a Members’ fun day in June, then in July, there will be a double header against the MCC (Men’s and Women’s XIs).

The first reference to cricket in Berkhamsted dates to 1819 and the Whitsun Fair on “the Common”, which would probably have been the flat ground in front of what is now Berkhamsted Golf Club. A poster stated, “Cricketing as usual, wickets pitched at 11 o’clock”, meaning that, by this date, cricket

on Berkhamsted Common was a regular occurrence. Records of early cricket in Tring include two fixtures with Berkhamsted played in 1835, in Tring Park and then on Berkhamsted Common.

In 1870 a meeting was held to establish Berkhamsted Cricket Club, and in the July an inaugural match was held between Married and Single players. After a gradual increase of members and finances, a ‘full’ list of seven fixtures was published in 1875.

The club moved to its current home in Kitchener’s Field in 1984, after many years at Lower Kings Road. That ground had hosted some legendary fixtures against touring international teams, including West Indies in 1906, 1928 & 1933; New Zealand (1927) and All India (1932).

Berkhamsted's trophy cabinet has a lot of history to celebrate in this 150th anniversary year. They include the Herts Competition (1969 & 1971), the Hertfordshire Cricket League, in its inaugural season of 1974, plus regular victories in the local 20-over Gazette Cup competition, plus the Aylesbury & District Midweek League.

With seven men’s teams, a junior section of over 400 children (inc. 100 girls) and a thriving women’s section, with two teams, 2025 is a year to look forward, with confidence, as much as a time to look back, with pride.

North Enfield’s 70th

North Enfield marked the 70th anniversary, last year, of its move to its Strayfield Road ground. In a series of special matches, four clubs all returned to the ground, having been among the pioneering visitors, in 1954. They were North London, Cockfosters, Old Camdenians and Enfield The one ever-present since that time has been the ground’s famous oak tree, in spite of being struck by lightning in 2023.

In the timed matches, another echo of a bygone era, North London (who were Ferme Park in 1954) couldn’t quite overcome the hosts, who ground out a gritty draw, with the last pair at the crease. Against Cockfosters, North Enfield were again nine wickets down but this was a thriller, as the hosts squeaked home by one wicket, with four balls remaining, thanks to a Kieran Jones six in the final over.

The Old Camdenians match was drawn, before Enfield succumbed to a comprehensive 99-run defeat to the birthday boys. That game was live-streamed via YouTube, a technological advancement which showed how far cricket and society has progressed since 1954.

Photos above show Berkhamsted matches against the visiting West Indies teams, and a view of todays' ground and pavilion. The North Enfield photos record the building of the pavilion and the teams from the Cockfosters anniversary match, last year.

Hertfordshire Grounds Association

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

The 2024 season started with floods and ended with floods. In the Spring, many grounds were totally flooded and were unplayable for weeks. The Association helped a number of clubs with regard to their pre-season preparation, much of which was unable to be started until the season was underway. Clubs were advised not to try to use the heavy roller while the square was still very wet but to use a ride on mower instead. Early season re-seeding was required in some cases and in the worst scenarios, clubs had to re-seed the whole square. The Summer was generally wet, interspersed with a few dry periods, which helped grass recover but then in September the flooding reappeared. Some grounds that had been top dressed in early September found that all their seed had been washed away and had to wait for drier weather to re-do the whole square. Others were unable to get on the square to do the end-of-season work. The Association and the pitch advisors have done as much as possible to help clubs. Due to the September weather, the ‘Trailer’ could not be used as much as in previous seasons, though take-up improved when conditions allowed. All the new County Pitch Advisors: Hugh Cavener, Will Pugh, Rob Kendle and John Smith have now completed the pitch advisors course. They will be able to complete reports via the Pitchpower app, allowing clubs to apply for ECB funding. The advisors were asked, by the ECB via the County, to appraise ten Hertfordshire grounds, which they have now completed. Three further grounds have been appraised after a request from Cricket East. In April 2024, Sport England’s Pitchpower Multisport app (Pro and Used versions) started to be used by the advisors. The app grades pitches at every level, from professional to basic. It logs facilities, machinery, condition

and performance of the ground. It is taking up a lot of time and in our view, the app still needs condensing and streamlining, though we think it will eventually be very good. We still think that it would be better if it was run by Regional Pitch Advisors. Reports go to the CDO Ian James, then to the ECB Area Officer. Regional Pitch Advisors run the support and mentoring programme and organise practical workshops.

The Derek Dredge Award for excellence or improvements of grounds was awarded again this year. The Association lost its previous sponsorship of the award, but the League has kindly offered to take over the sponsorship. The Award was presented to Bushey who had to give up playing on their square in 2022 due to it being too poor for league cricket. They did the work advised by the Pitch Advisor at the end of the season and then their pitch marks in 2023 placed them third in their division. In late July, the ECB Grass Pitch Improvement Fund was launched. This aims to tackle inequalities by providing improved access to good quality, safe playing facilities for targeted groups. Sport England Lottery Fund will provide funding for projects in England. Priority is being given to applications which support cricket for: Women and girl’s cricket, cricket in diverse communities, disability cricket and for low socio-economic groups. The aim is to improve the quality of squares and outfields, create sustainable management of sites and installing hybrid pitches to increase playing capacity. To register. visit ECB’s ‘Investment Management System’. For interested clubs, ‘guidance notes’ can be found in a PDF file on the ‘Grass Pitch Improvement Fund’ website.

Long term, we are concerned about the provision of groundmen in the future for clubs, both in a voluntary and paid capacity.

Groundwork for the Next Generation

Leverstock Green sees 21st century technology as a possible money-maker.

At the start of its ever-popular annual cricket week, Leverstock Green CC brought in a robot. Not to bowl 20 overs but to demonstrate what could be achieved in creating outfield artwork. Adverts are a common sight on the top rugby and cricket grounds for televised matches, but could the technology benefit amateur cricket clubs? Given the advent of good-value options for the digital streaming of matches, the well-thought-out placing of sponsor logos could provide a sensible way of off-setting the operational costs associated with live streaming. Herts League clubs use standalone advertising devices as well as hoardings applied to buildings, so maybe this is the next step in brand awareness for key partners?

Robot-led line marking equipment does require a significant capital investment, and perhaps might only be considered by clubs who manage multi-pitch sites or own more than one cricket ground, but it seems the versatility of these machines might be something to consider if - as with all technology - prices start to drift downwards, once availability of supply increases.

Kings Langley Ground Damaged

Local residents witnessed a car, a Subaru, driving over Kings Langley Common, in February, and speed around before making off. That’s the home of Kings Langley Cricket Club and it’s the sort of vandalism which is every club’s nightmare.

The Watford Observer reported that the car left churned up grass in its wake, leaving club chairman Tom Templeton to reflect that “30 seconds worth of ‘fun’ is going to cause 20-plus hours of repairs. When I saw it, my heart sank.”

He added: “The Common is not just for the club but it’s the village’s. It’s a cricket pitch but it’s also where people walk their dogs, where kids play. We hope the police will do something to bring the suspect to justice.”

The club does have one paid groundskeeper, but the repairs will likely also require many volunteer hours to make the surface safe for use.

Thankfully the car did not go onto the square.

Super Seniors

Herts League cricket is not just the province of young, aspiring sportsmen. It has also helped some of our seniors to achieve success, long after they first made their name and built reputations with league clubs.

Not least, two members of England’s over 70s team, who, last season, won the first ever World Cup for their age group. In the final, at Wormsley, they beat the old enemy, Australia, with a team that included Letchworth’s Duncan Elder (top 2 pictures) and Bishop's Stortford's Simon Sargent (3rd picture). In that final, Duncan scored 74, while Simon, grandson of the famous conductor, Sir Malcolm Sargent, was at the crease when England completed their victory by seven wickets. The tournament was a round robin format, with the top two countries playing in the final, which England reached after victories over Sri Lanka, India, New Zealand, Canada and Wales. A loss to Australia in the group games thankfully didn’t stop their progress. Duncan Elder’s scores in those matches included 150 (retired out) against Canada, and 102 against Sri Lanka, on his way to becoming the top scorer in the whole competition In the final, in front of more than 500 spectators, including many Herts members, the Aussies made 208-8 in their 45 overs and England replied with 212-3, with 10 balls to spare. Looking back on the experience, Duncan said: “In the early matches, I scored at better than a run-a-ball but, in the final, it was hard work and my 74 took 102 balls. It rated as one of my favourite innings - and I ended up with a World Cup winner’s medal! I'd waited 70 years for the honour, and it was a privilege, especially as I felt I was representing Letchworth and Hertfordshire. Very proud.”

Duncan’s league clubs included North Mymms & Cockfosters, before switching to Letchworth GC, where he played for ten years. He retired from club cricket at the age of 68 but is still a member

there. He now devotes his energies to Hertfordshire Seniors, which he has represented in the various age groups, since 2003, also becoming Chairman, for nine years.

Simon is in his 2nd spell at Stortford, having first joined in 1982. Since then he has worked in Cyprus and played for clubs in Hampshire and Essex, before returning to Stortford around 2016. He plays his Seniors cricket for Essex.

As well as Duncan and Simon, two other players from Herts League clubs represented their country in the World Cup. In the Sri Lankan team were Indran Thavendra (Northwood) and Mike Fernando (Letchworth GC).

Let’s pay tribute also to other Seniors, attached to Herts League clubs, who had an outstanding season on the county circuit. They included:

Dileep Patel of North Mymms (4th picture) scored 1,550 runs for the over 60s, ave. 51.67, the most runs ever scored in a season by a Herts Senior. Top scorers for the over 70s: Keith Hammond (Boxmoor) 1111 runs, ave 58.47; David Spring (Hertford) 1096 runs, ave 43.84; Duncan Elder (Letchworth GC) 708 runs, ave 101.14.

John Scott, (Boxmoor) took the most wickets for the over 70s with 39, followed by Tariq Hassan (Old Albanians) with 32.

David Green (previously with Preston), was the most economical bowler for the over 70s, at 2.32 runs per over. At 81 years old!

Langleybury's Mike Dobner (bottom picture) took the most victims with 25 and he has become only the fourth wicket keeper in the history of England Seniors cricket to claim 200 league victims.

The Herts Seniors group offers a great opportunity to players aged 50 and over, to extend their competitive careers. There are now 10 sides at the over 50s, 60s and 70s levels, with Kevin Kelly (kk-home145@outlook.com) the man who can tell you more.

Eric's farewell

Following on from the report about our successful Seniors, there was a touching tribute to another great Senior, at Hertford, ahead of the over 70s World Cup.

The Australians played a ‘warm-up’ match against Hertford’s Seniors and it marked the farewell for one of the legends of Herts League cricket – Eric Riddle. Both teams lined up in a guard of honour, as he walked out to bat for the last time.

Last year’s handbook recognised Eric’s unique achievement of playing Herts League cricket for 50 years. Now he has decided to call it a day and let the youngsters have a go at beating his record.

Andrew Summerfield – 50 not out

As the September darkness fell on the 2024 season, celebrations were in full flow at Flitwick’s Hardy Vale for the achievements of its 1st XI, reaching the Premier Division for the first time, and promotion for its 3rd XI. But those two mighty milestones were trumped by a genuine club legend, who had not only completed a 50th season with the club but surpassed 40,000 career runs. Andrew Summerfield played his first FCC match on 3rd May 1975, as a 12 year-old, in a 2nd XI fixture against Ampthill Union CC. He only made 2 runs that day, but they started him off on a career of extraordinary numbers. For example, for Flitwick alone: he has made 1,679 appearances, scored 37,442 runs, including 28 centuries and 239 further scores of 50+, managing 242 not outs in 1,546 innings. His run tally is now double that of the next best on the club’s all-time run scorers list – Andy Summerfield Senior!

Heading into that final weekend of 2024 league matches, the available stats showed he was sitting on 39,997 career runs (including those for other teams, mostly Bedfordshire Seniors).

An emergency call-up to the 2nd XI did not faze Summers, and he made a patient 24 to help secure a threewicket win, away at Kings Langley.

On top of his batting exploits, Summers has given so much to his beloved club during those 50 years, both on- and off-the-pitch. That has included lengthy stints skippering most of the senior teams; indeed he was in charge for the first ever Herts League 1st XI match played by Flitwick, in 1998. It was therefore somewhat fitting that the longstanding club ambition to reach the Premier coincided with Andrew’s anniversary.

Amongst the many celebrating on that September evening were four players who played in that very first match (l to r in picture above) Andy Woodcock, Jason Twist, Carl Ferguson & Andy Summerfield, and who are still playing. Among them, a tip of the hat to Carl Ferguson, who was a fixture in the 1st XI throughout 2024 and many seasons prior.

3rd May 2025 will mark 50 years since that debut match and the plan is to hold a suitable event to honour Andrew and his amazing contribution to the success of Flitwick Cricket Club. Some records are simply unsurmountable.

Life after cricket

One of our favourite Herts League ‘old boys’ is Steven Finn. His love of the game started in the pram, watching dad, Terry, bowling for Watford Town, followed by his junior development at Langleybury, and finally at West Herts. A pro career followed, with Middlesex and, ultimately, England (taking 125 Test wickets/254 in all internationals, and proud scorer of one half-century!), before finishing at Sussex. His qualities as a bowler and talker always shone through. In last year’s handbook we marked his retirement as a player. Now we can commemorate the first chapter of a new career which, for Steven, was memorable. TV Broadcaster (mostly with Sir Alastair Cook). Test Match Special summariser (with Aggers). Podcaster. Writer. Lord's bell ringer. Fashion icon. Herts University Doctor (honorary). And then, best of all, at Christmas, Steven & Amber became parents, with the arrival of baby Kora. Can 2025 top that?

Cricket in Hertfordshire is in an excellent position, mainly down to the number of well-run cricket clubs we have within the county, and the volunteers who run them so, thank you!!

We are currently entering the ECBs second phase of its Inspiring Generations in CPA (County Partnership Agreement) 2.0 where we are currently in full review and consultation on how the next four years will look for HCL, where we shall focus on certain areas of growth and opportunity across the county. In the last CPA we had plenty of success becoming a leading organisation for schools delivery, reaching a large number of new National Programme sign-ups, a full disability program delivering in over 20 schools from scratch and the introduction of the new Hertfordshire Women's Cricket League, under the same umbrella as the senior league.

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.

We are continuing to work very closely with the other East Region County Boards to

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 2025 season which will hopefully be as normal as possible, in these usual times. We would also like to thank all clubs and key personnel for all that you do for the game.

Saracens Herts Junior Leagues

We have enjoyed another great year of junior cricket in Hertfordshire – the boys competitions continue to thrive and there has been a very healthy increase in both the numbers of girls playing the game and the number of completed matches. We introduced additional girls leagues this year at U11 (hardball and softball), U13 (A+B formats) and U15 (A+B formats). The boys’ competitions remained as in previous seasons albeit we scrapped the U16 comp to focus on an U17 comp post-exams.

In the U15 Girls competition, Berkhamsted got through to Round 3 where they lost to the eventual runners up Slough CC.

We are indebted to Ian Watkins and George White who stand down after many years of great service to junior cricket.

Summer Leagues:

U11 Wheathampsted

U13 Berkhamsted

U15 West Herts

"Perhaps the most encouraging indicator of the strength of the boys’ leagues is that there were seven different winners of the main age group competitions."

In the ECB National Competitions, Berkhamsted won through the Herts qualifying rounds of both the U13 and U15 boys’ competition, to represent Herts in the ECB Vitality Club T20.

The U13s lost to Oakfield Parkonians (Essex) in Round 2.

The U15s lost to Copdock and Old Ipswichian (Suffolk) also in Round 2.

In the U13 Girls Competition, Bishops Stortford got through to Round 5 where they were beaten by Overstone Park.

The finals of both boys and girls ECB competitions were played at Lords in September.

Looking ahead

Girls Cricket.

With the growth of the girls’ game and the advent of the Herts Women’s League in 2025, Tom Ruxton and Rebecca Kelly are in the process of setting up a Girls subcommittee to ensure girls cricket is given the right level of focus and is closely aligned with women’s cricket.

Coaching Courses

HJL financially supported a female only coaching course in 2024 and have funds to do the same in 2025.

Extension of Play-Cricket

We continue to encourage clubs to use play-cricket. com and this season over 50% of all junior games were scored on the PC scoring app.

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

'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’.

- No restriction on number of Category 1 players per team.

Category 2 Contracted Player to a first class county.

A player (capped or uncapped) qualified to play for England under the current ECB regulations and, currently, under contract to a First-Class County Club. For the purposes of clarification, a contracted player is one who has a current full playing contract, a summer contract or a development (scholarship) contract but not an Academy contract (16- 19 years). 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.

- Maximum one Category 2 player per team unless the player, before being awarded a contract by a first class county, has been a bona fide member of the club for more than two years (24 months) and has played a minimum of 12 league games for the club in those two years.

Category 3 Players who are not deemed “Ordinarily Resident. If the player does not meet the criteria for Category 1 they will be deemed to be a Category 3 player.

- One Category 3 player per team.

A Category 3 overseas player will not be eligible for new registration if he has played Test or one-day international cricket for a Test playing country since April 1st in the previous year.

All players other than Category 1 must be registered in writing with the League by 10pm on the Wednesday before the first match in which they appear. Category 1 players must be registered by 10am on the day of their first match. Any player not registered on the League web site by the stated deadlines, shall be deemed ineligible for any match in which he participates. To play in Premier divisions matches, all players, including any substitute must be

i Registered on play-cricket and meet ECB Premier league Registration guidelines as outlined yearly in league handbook in addition to having been registered on the League website.

ii Registered only once, under one of more of the categories defined above, with restrictions applying as shown, subject to any special exemptions granted in advance by the Executive Committee.

e) Before the toss of the coin the captains shall hand a written list of their team members for that match to the umpires, or if no umpire to the opposing captain. 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. Further, each captain, (or designated person), shall record the names of those that played in the match, (and recorded as having done so on his team sheet), on the league website, using the Herts Cricket App, by 9pm the evening the match was played. Any discrepancies to be reported to the League Registrations Officer by submitting the team sheet, accompanied by details of the alleged discrepancies, within three days.

In Premier divisions and Divisions 1, 2a & 2b, the appointed umpires, shall return the team sheets to the League Registrations Officer for checking.

Each club is responsible for ensuring that their players are correctly registered on the League website and (in the case of the Premier divisions) on play-cricket.com. Should any club be found to be playing a player under the wrong category, the club will forfeit 50% of the points they have gained thus far in the league for the team that the player has most represented. It is within the league’s powers to also ban players from the team thus punished from subsequently playing for lower teams, in line with 13, c, i above.

If a club is found to have played a player under a false name, the team(s) which that player has represented will be automatically relegated. It is within the league’s powers to also ban players from the team thus punished from subsequently playing for lower teams, in line with 13, c, i above.

Any team breaking either of these rules will face an extraordinary disciplinary procedure which could result in one or more of their teams being relegated automatically or possibly expulsion from the league.

f) Any player transferring clubs (within Herts League) between 1st May and 30th June shall complete a transfer form, jointly with his new club, for submission to the League. All players transferring into or out of an HPCL Premier or Championship club at any time must fully complete the Player Registration Transfer Form available to download from the League’s website

A player moving to another HPCL club at any time shall be eligible to play for the new club only if all financial and other obligations to the former club have been discharged. 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.

14. Fixtures

All league fixtures shall be arranged centrally by the Fixtures Secretary and circulated to all clubs. No alteration shall be made to that list without the consent of the Fixtures Secretary acting on behalf of the Executive Committee. In the event

of a club being unable to fulfil all fixtures on any day, the playing of the senior sides’ match(es) shall take precedence. If any match is postponed, which can only be with the consent of the Executive Committee, the match must be re-arranged to be played within 28 days of the original date, provided such date is before the final scheduled day of the season. If a date cannot be mutually agreed by the two clubs concerned, then the postponed match must be played on a date designated by the Executive Committee.

Any team which fails to fulfil four or more fixtures in its division during the season may be asked by the Executive Committee to withdraw from that division forthwith and all matches involving that team shall be declared null and void with no points awarded. At the end of the season the Executive Committee shall decide whether to invite any side having conceded four or more fixtures during the season into the following season’s league structure and shall tell the side’s club before the end of September in that season as to its decision in that regard.

Any team unable to fulfil a league fixture must advise its opponents by 8:00pm on the Thursday preceding the match and obtain formal acknowledgment of the cancellation from an officer of the opposing club. 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. Where both fixtures between any two teams during the same season are arranged to take place at the ground or grounds of one of those teams the visitors shall pay to the home team the sum of £100.00 as compensation for having to provide the facilities twice in that season.

15. League Structure

a) The league will be divided into an appropriate number of divisions in a single structure with the exception of the regional divisions. All teams shall have the same rights to promotion to a higher division, providing the minimum requirements for facilities have been met. The size of all divisions shall be determined from time to time by the Executive Committee except as required by 11e) above.

b) Only a club's 1st XI is eligible for promotion to Premier divisions

c) Promotions and relegations shall be on the following bases:

Promotions: Championship and all subsequent divisions: Top 2 sides promoted one division except 2nd side in Championship subject to play-off.

Relegations: Premier division, Championship and all subsequent divisions, except 6B: Bottom two sides relegated one division (9th place in Premier subject to play-off).

Division 6B: teams finishing 7th, 8th, 9th & 10th relegated to the appropriate Division 7 depending on geography.

d) The Executive Committee shall have the discretion to vary the numbers promoted and relegated between the regional divisions depending on the number of clubs participating in those divisions.

e) In all cases, if any of the clubs in a promotion place is deemed ineligible, due to the standard of facilities or for any other reason, only the club finishing in the next place below the promotion places may be considered for promotion.

f) Clubs eligible for promotion shall be promoted only if their facilities are deemed acceptable by the Executive Committee.

g) Where two or more clubs finish with the same aggregate of points, the club with the higher number of wins shall be placed higher in the league. If still equal, then the club with fewer losses shall be placed higher. If still equal, then the club with the higher scoring rate in completed matches, based on runs per wicket, shall be the higher.

h) In the regional divisions below division 9, the side finishing top will be the side that has the best average points score. That average shall be calculated by dividing the total number of points accumulated throughout the season by the number of games played. The number of games played shall not include games where an opponent has conceded a game or games against it but will include a game or games that it has conceded against its opposition. Where two or more sides finish with the same points the procedure in g) above shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt no points will be awarded for conceded matches in the regional divisions below division 9.

16. Officials, Team sheets, Results and Facilities Reporting

a) Clubs may face a fine of £10 for failure to submit averages or other specific information required by the Results Secretary and notified to clubs.

b) All clubs are required to co-operate in reporting results, when requested, to press agencies and newspapers.

c) A facilities reporting scheme will be operated throughout the league.

d) Any club which fails to submit a report when required and in accordance with the time limits and arrangements specified by the Executive Committee shall be subject to a fine of £20, for each occasion it fails to report. Non- payment of such fines, more than one month after notification by the Treasurer, shall attract a penalty on the same basis as set out for subscriptions under rule 10b.

17. Playing Regulations

All league games shall be played in accordance with the Laws of Cricket as published and amended from time to time by the MCC, except as varied or amended by the match rules contained in the League handbook, printed annually. All league and cup games shall be played in accordance with the Preamble to the Laws – "the Spirit of Cricket", and in accordance with any directives, guidelines and policies published by the national governing bodies and adopted by the League.

18. ECB and Sport England Compliance

Umpire & Scorer Registration Process 2025

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 Description

Panel

Qualified

Dispensation granted

Club Umpire/Scorer

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. 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.

NOTICE - PLANNED RULE CHANGE FOR 2026

This advance notice will allow clubs to prepare for the change. From 2026: All teams playing in Divisions 2B and above are expected to provide an umpire to the Umpires Panel who is qualified in accordance with Section 8 of the Division 1 and below regulations and is available to stand in at least 12 games for the Umpires Panel during the season. Failure to meet this requirement will result in a 5-point penalty for each match.

Disciplinary Procedures

The following sets out a summary of the Disciplinary Procedures adopted by the HPCL. The League has adopted the ECB’s General Conduct Regulations for the Premier and Championship leagues and Recreational Cricket Conduct Regulations for Division 1 and below, 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 offence 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 concisely and deal with the facts. Save for mistaken identity, a Level 1 offence, (as set out in Law 42), will likely 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 or suspended. 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

deduction. These point deductions were not implemented in 2024, but will be in 2025, irrespective as to the outcome of a reported incident.

Should the offence 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 conduct their own investigate, advising the Discipline Chair as to their determination within 72-hours of their being advised of the Level 2 report by the Disciplinary Chairman. Where the outcome 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 offences, 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.

Please note one major change to Discipline for 2025 as stipulated by the ECB sees the law around shying the ball at or near a player, the latter also to be reported as and deemed a Level 2 offence.

Level 3/Level 4 incidents will also be dealt with by the HPCL Disciplinary Team, and will be reported to the ECB’s Recreational Cricket Regulator. Where such incidents are reported by an independent or panel appointed umpire, a minimum of a 25-point will be deducted from 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.

This said, serious misbehaviour should be reported to the Disciplinary Chair, especially where such behaviour contravenes the ECB’s Code of Conduct and/or EDI principals.

Disciplinary Chair: George White. Email: whiteg27@hotmail.com

Tel: 07968 349933

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 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.

Who Requires DBS Checks?

It’s mandatory in cricket for holders of following posts to be Cricket specific ECB DBS checked

• Club Safeguarding Officer (all club/league/county posts)

• ID Verifier

• Coach (whether volunteer or paid, assisting or leading)

• Coach Support Workers

• Umpires

• Club Junior team Managers

• County Age Group Managers

• Open Age Group Team Captains and Vice-Captains

• Junior Supervisors

ECB identity vetting

All DBS applications will be verified face-to-face.

• Hertfordshire County Cricket’s objective is for ALL clubs to have their own verifier – currently approximately 70 clubs within Hertfordshire have their own verifier.

• All completed applications (except paid coaches & official) will automatically go on to UPDATE SYSTEM. (Although an applicant can opt out) which means a successful applicant will not have to renew their DBS as long as the applicant undertakes a role within cricket which requires a DBS check.

DBS Applications can be initiated by a verifier or through County Safeguarding team.

To initiate a DBS application, an applicant should contact their clubs Safeguarding Officer or email welfare@hertscricket.org. Providing the following information:

1. Full legal first name (as on a passport or driving licence)

2. Full legal last name (as on a passport or driving licence)

3. Applicant’s date of birth

4. Role applicant intends to undertake

5. Applicant's email address (must be an email address specific to the applicant)

6. The club the applicant intends to represent

Club safeguarding responsibilities

All clubs have a duty of care to all juniors and vulnerable adults who participate in cricket. These are set out on the League website at www.hertsleague.co.uk/documents/files/safeguarding_ responsibilities_2024.pdf

The guidelines cover:

• A club's safeguarding responsibilities

Note: Every club must appoint a trained Club Safeguarding Officer (CSO). It’s part of a club’s membership to ECB, Hertfordshire Cricket and HPCL. Failure to have a trained CSO negates the club’s membership, and the club will then be penalised as per league rules

• Photography, filming, social media and broadcasting guidelines

• Guidelines for youth players in the HPCL

For any DBS and safeguarding questions, contact Richard Burling, League Safeguarding Officer

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 wform 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.

Secretary's Report 2024

As presented to the AGM, February 2025

Let me start by apologising for the problems we encountered at the zoom AGM in February last year. There were failures in the use of the Zoom system which led to some clubs not being able to join the meeting and the running of the meeting itself left a lot to be desired. In addition, we had not sought the clubs’ views on the promotion and relegation out of the regional structure into division 6b. I mentioned this before the meeting. We had not included in the AGM preamble, which was sent to clubs in December 2023, the effect on promotion and relegation caused by the splitting of regional divisions 10 and 11 into 5 sections particularly with promotion out of 10 into 9 east and west and out of 7e and 7w into the main structure.

We agreed to consult with clubs and try to reflect the clubs’ wishes at an EGM to be held before the captains’ meeting. That EGM tidied up the promotion issues to a point but in reality the problem lay with the 5 division split at level 10 and 11 and further consultations and discussions took place during the season and in the club forums arranged by Dominic Chatfield and Richard Mason in September which resulted in a second EGM held in November where the structure for 2025 was agreed upon to allow the fixtures to be prepared over the Christmas period.

Regionalisation has its benefits principally in cutting down the travelling distances and thus giving players the chance to play more games with less time taken out of their day. What became apparent, however, was that the competitive spirit burns bright at all levels and the desire to seek promotion often outweighed the reduction in travel. We have a more streamlined structure now and let us hope we can run with this for a few years and see how it works.

Life went on, on the field, normally with Harpenden leading the charge for honours winning both the Premier title, and the T/20. The club seems to have fulfilled the potential it has shown for a number of years. Not only does it have the quality, but it also has the quantity fielding 6 league sides.

Club-of-the-year, Harpenden, at the trophies presentation day, at Saracens

Old Owens were relegated and Flitwick, who have knocked at the door for a number of years were promoted into the Premier for the first time. We wish them well. In a run fest at Digswell Park in the Premier/ Championship play-off, Shenley Village just fell short of Welwyn Garden City’s mammoth total with both clubs reversing their 2023 relegation and promotion paths-WGC back to the Premier and Shenley back to the Championship. We also welcomed Ley Hill, Eaton Bray, and Enfield 4th XI into the league for the first time.

The rest of the winners and losers will receive their accolades and commiserations in Richard Bayliss’s excellent ‘Review of the Season’ in the handbook. What is evident whether you are winners, losers, or just mid table, is that there are a lot of you. This season we have10,949 registered players (with power to add) playing for 103 clubs with 290 teams in 29 divisions playing (weather permitting) 2,582 fixtures. We have links with the Herts Junior Leagues and in 2025 there will be a women’s league with upwards of 20 clubs taking part.

That all paints a picture of cricket in Hertfordshire being in rude health. But it doesn’t happen by magic. Many people on our committee and coopted members outside it put in huge amounts of time to make sure it all runs smoothly. If we add to our own responsibilities the myriad of new rules and requirements handed down to us by the ECB and the County on welfare and safeguarding and many other issues you can see that the administrative burdens are on an upward curve. Mark Shepherd, highlighted the area of category 3 registrations, referred to in the preamble. We had no ECB queries on our handling of this particular area of responsibility where there were 1500 breaches in other leagues. With Home Office surveillance of such matters this is a feather in Mark’s cap. But it comes at a price and in our November EGM the clubs recognised this and gave the committee permission to remunerate Committee members who put in time over and above the norm. Prior to the season Richard Mason, Paul Blackwell and Mark dealt with the registrations of all of our players on the Play Cricket site - a huge task for which they deserve much credit. With that mostly done, the admin. in that area should now go down.

We produced, at the AGM 3 years accounts, thanks entirely to the work of Anthony Levy and Hilary Stiffin. Anthony takes off his white coat to don his Treasurer’s jacket and Hilary leaves the scorebox to do our day-to-day book-keeping. They do this so efficiently that we had our draft 2024 accounts within days of the end of our financial year in October. We are in a very good financial position and the committee have plans in hand to help clubs in general by using some of our healthy reserves.

The continued sponsorship of The Saracens Foundation and Readers plays a vital part in all of this. Saracens and the Foundation sponsor us to the tune of £22,000 a year and we are exploring ways of giving more back to them. Readers sponsor our cup competition by a donation, now, £6,000 a year from 2025. Some of that will help us

establish the women’s league for 2025. Without their input we would not have the security to move forward and be able to provide our clubs with the benefits we are planning.

Whilst on the subject of Readers, our three-year fixed price deal ran out in 2024 and we had no hesitation of renewing for another 3 years at a, slightly, increased price which will hold to the 2027 season. The balls are very good and very good value. Including the Dukes balls used in the Premier and Championship we bought 6249 cricket balls for 2024 at a total cost of £78,323. This is a record and will be exceeded in 2025 as prices are up and we now have a women’s section.

I cannot write my report without mentioning the weather. February, March, and April were near to the wettest on record. Groundsmen/ women did their best and remarkably survived to the extent that Mark Shepherd had very few complaints if any from clubs. Weekends 9 and 16 were pretty much complete washouts with nobody troubling the scorers. There were 331 weather related cancellations with a further 20 games abandoned. That only 34 matches were conceded speaks well of the numbers playing cricket in the league. Unfortunately, both Potten End teams dropped out but they have re-entered a single side for the 2025. The sponsorship provided to the groundsmen’s association ended a year or two back and the league has agreed to sponsor the annual award to the tune of £500. This provides ‘ground requisites’ - soils fertiliser seed etc. to the club winning the annual Derek Dredge Award. It is so important that we

The winners of the 2023 Derek Dredge Award. Bushey, were recognised at last year's captains' meeting

recognise the efforts of all who work on the grounds - most I suspect volunteers - as without them………

It is equally important that we recognise the umpires and scorers without which things would descend into chaos. There are never enough of each but at least in 2024 Anthony Levy was able to fill an average of 47 out of 50 panel appointments every Saturday as against 43 in 2023. Anecdotal evidence suggest we may have a few more umpires for 2025.We were also able to subsidise a new purchase of blousons for the panel paying 50% of the costs which were already discounted. The scoring fraternity suffers from similar availability and recruitment problems although on the plus side the percentage of games scored manually fell from 58 in 2023 to 32 last season. That is moving in the right direction. It is so much better to be able to see live scores throughout the day. The safeguarding requirements to which we must rightly adhere must be paramount at all clubs. We had a few issues with captains’ DBS clearance last season. It is vital that all clubs have cricket specific clearance for all their captains and vice captains for 2025 before the start of the season. The

County are clamping down on and all clubs must ensure compliance. It is very easy to get clearance. If you are in any doubt, then speak to any committee member. This, kind of, leads on to discipline, where, thankfully George White’s in box had fewer entries in 2024 than for the previous year. Sadly, there was one level four offence but otherwise the numbers were down from 57 in 2023 to 43 in 2024. It would be really good if that trend continues for 2025. Only 8 players in the Premier and Championship received bans, with 220 players taking the field over each week of an 18-week season, that's not bad.

Before closing this report, I have to mention the ‘Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund’ Many of you will know Nick and Simon who were both long-standing members of Hoddesdon and Watford Town CCs. In fact, they were both chaired their respective clubs. Simon sadly died in 2023 and a year ago, Nick was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, and while his time with us may sadly be limited, he has channelled his remarkable energy into creating a lasting legacy. Together with Simon’s family Nick has launched the Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund (GPLF). This fund supports four amazing causes that use cricket to bring about transformational change for disadvantaged young people: • Empowering slum communities in Nairobi, Kenya, through cricket and education.

In a sleep out at Lord's, on 27 February this year, a group from Nick Gandon's club, Hoddesdon, raised £000s for the Gandon Prodger Legacy Fund.

• Supporting Syrian refugees in Lebanon with new schools and cricket programmes.

• Promoting mental health, wellbeing, and inclusion in the UK through cricket.

• Helping the homeless, refugees, and ex-offenders in the UK via sport and education.

The league unreservedly supports this fund, and you may already have received details through our social media outlets. Please give generously if you are able to.

So, another season beckons. For many of us cricket has been a life-long passion. So much has changed-when I first started playing club cricket, I would anxiously wait for the Wednesday post to arrive where a postcard would tell me what team I had been selected for, for the coming Saturday and Sunday. Now, at my club social media does the job and there are fewer players who play on both days. But the friendships you build up over a career in club cricket and its administration are there for life. Most people volunteer at their clubs, some spending hours weekly to ensure the pitch looks like Lord's and the bar like the Ritz. Without them we wouldn’t have a thriving League and without them we wouldn’t make the friends for life we have. As secretary, I see the same names cropping up at clubs year after yearspecifically when the ball order forms come

in. Some of you will know ‘Smithy’ at Amptill. He told me that he has been their treasurer for 42 years! ‘You get less for murder’ he said. But it’s worth it.

Enjoy the season.

Barry Hellewell December 2024.

Nick Gandon

Sad to say, Nick's last innings ended on 28 February, peacefully, surrounded by his family. From a personal point of view it was a particularly sad day for me too. Nick introduced me to Hoddesdon CC back in 1977 and he became a friend for life. He was the scruffiest cricketer I ever played with. His kit (and it often wasn't his at all) would sometimes sit in his kit bag from September to April and re-appear on a cold April Saturday looking like it had been ironed by a scarifier. But he was also one of the most talented cricketers I played with and the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable cricketer on and off the field. On the field his passion for the game stood out and off it his sense of fun took everyone with him. He will be greatly missed by all. Goodbye Nick.

Barry

Review of the Season

by Richard Bayliss

Just as in the handbook a year ago, it is difficult not to start last season’s lookback without a reference to the weather. The build-up to the season saw one of the wettest Winters & Springs on record. As a result, some grounds were under water or impossible to mow, not just for the first round of matches but for three or four weeks into the season. Rickmansworth, London Colney, Flitwick and Radlett’s second ground were among those to suffer. At the end of May, X (formerly Twitter) showed the evidence from Flitwick (picture next page), while London Colney used a Bowdry (sponge roller) to remove over 800 litres, just to get the water table to the level of the outfield!

time was spent, instead, sorting the teething problems. Eventually, results sheets showing the latest tables, all in one place, were consigned to history, with clicking through to the online version the only way of keeping track of a team’s rise or fall. But the online service at least brought every club and team into line – and into the 21st century!

The season in numbers:

• 2,478 fixtures scheduled (inc. cups)

• 2,112 fixtures completed (league only)

• 331 fixtures cancelled (weather)

• 20 fixtures abandoned (league)

• 34 fixtures conceded

Rickmansworth found itself in a running battle with its local authority over a blocked culvert, which compounded the problems. Although cricket was eventually possible, the issue wasn’t sorted and, later in the year, the club’s junior football teams were forced to cancel matches, with warnings from Rickmansworth Sports Club that its very existence was threatened. Club Secretary Paul Blackwell was quoted in the press, saying that it was the generosity of parents, in time and money, that “enabled us to keep our heads above water!”

During the season, two Saturdays saw total wash-outs, on 6 July and 24 August. The new season also saw the League’s results service become more automated, by moving to the ‘play-cricket. com’ platform. Although greatly reducing the weekly workload for the Results Secretary, his

For some clubs it was a difficult season, Potten End having to withdraw both of its teams, due to various issues, while others suffered with player availability falling below expectations. Some withdrew voluntarily, while four other teams were ejected after failing to fulfil four fixtures. Div. 11 East finished with just six out of the original nine teams. No such problems apparently in north Herts, in May, when Hitchin were able to field a 7th team, taking on Letchworth GC 6ths, in a friendly.

After a pre-season EGM, a big change for this season was a change in the promotion/ relegation numbers. The top two in each division would both be going up to the next division, instead of a jump by two divisions for the top team, which was the format since the 10 team divisions were introduced in 2000.

A reminder of what everyone was playing for. Divisional trophies at the 2023 season presentation event, in May.

On the field, Totteridge Millhillians were the early pacesetters in the premier division, but were denied by the rain in week 6 (the only rain-affected match in the premier), allowing Harpenden to move to the top and they never looked back. After half-way (week 9), they had opened up a 15-point gap over Potters Bar, and were 33 ahead of 3rd place West Herts.

The weather report

There was a lot of weather to report, this year! Flitwick's flooded ground and Hertford's rainbow summed up the soggy pre-season which clubs had to endure. Below, those, Ampthill's building work could be mistaken for a new swimming pool but it was just the start of the pavilion extension. (Below that is the artist's impression of how the enlarged building will look).

Next to Radlett's magnificent scoreboard for the main ground, is the club's 2nd ground which, earlier, saw no cricket in the first 3 weeks, with conditions too wet to get machinery on the square.

The BBC weather report ahead of the first league weekend, however, promised temperatues in the 20s, giving us hope for a summer of sun. Not quite. On 6 July the BBC chose to highlight Rothampsted on its weather map, where 37mm of rain fell on this soggy Saturday, compared to the average for the whole month, of 52mm. The umpires at Radlett that day could vouch for those conditions, with the Middlesex v Hants T20 match abandoned without a ball bowled, as featured on the BBC Sport website. Finally, it wasn't a particularly snowy winter but Hemel got a covering, in November.

At that half-way point, the relegation scrap seemed to be a three-way battle between Shenley (71pts), Old Owens (73) and Stortford (75).

Fast forward five weeks and not much had changed, although Harpenden now had a more comfortable cushion of 38 points and after the penultimate games, in week 17, some issues were done and dusted. Harpenden were crowned league champions, three years after their previous triumph, which was their first ever title in the top division. And Old Owens were resigned to a year in the Championship.

Ahead of the final match of the season, Potters Bar were already assured of the runners-up place. That was a relief, as their last match saw them heavily defeated by the new champions, even with Rishi Patel in the side, making his only appearance of the season, and ahead of signing a two-year contract with Leicestershire.

That victory over Bar meant Harpenden had lost only two games all season, both to Totteridge M, who eventually finished 4th. They were overtaken in the final week by their opponents in that last match, North Mymms, who came out on top by 23 runs. Who would join Old Owens in the Championship, subject to the play-off, was a cliff-hanger ahead of the final matches, with Stortford, in 8th place, and Shenley separated by just two points. The final games saw both teams win, Stortford through DLS, and so they were safe. In that play-off, Shenley would face Welwyn, who took the runners-up place in the Championship quite comfortably, behind Flitwick.

Flitwick won the title at a canter. By halfway they led Welwyn by 40 points, which grew to 71 at one point, before they settled for a final margin of 56 points. Their journey into the top-flight had been steady and patient, having taken 10 seasons to battle out of the old div. 2, followed by 11 seasons of Championship cricket. As a footnote, Flitwick 3rds were also promoted, from 7A, which meant that over the last 27 league seasons, the club’s various teams enjoyed 27 promotions and zero relegations!

Below those top two divisions, which give us our Premier League status, final day excitement probably outweighed the foregone conclusions.

For example in div. one, Reed seemed a safe bet for promotion, 20 points ahead of Luton, going into the last match, but the top four were playing each other. Redbourn beat Reed and so jumped up to 2nd, after Luton went down to Hitchin. The title was Reed’s, by eight points, and Luton in fact fell to 5th, below Sawbridgeworth, who themselves had hoped for better things after occupying 2nd place for much of the season.

On the next rung of the ladder, 2A, Harpenden 2nds and Berkhamsted were having their own private battle, separated by just five points in the top two places, for the whole of the second half of the season, then a decent gap before the rest. The final match of the season must have been scripted, as it matched the two contenders, who had each lost only one match, all year. The result: Berko 221 for 7; Harpenden 2nds 224 for 5 with just four balls remaining. Quite a match and quite a season for the club (with more to come…). Showing the way in getting sponsors' names in front of the public were Boxmoor. These attractive, lightweight adversing banners were pegged down on the road side of its ground.

A similar two-way battle in 2B, but for 2nd place behind run-away leaders, Stortford 2nds. Potters Bar 2nds and Old Finchleians were the combatants, swapping places in the run-in, with Bar trailing in 3rd, by just seven points, after week 17. But they triumphed, thanks to a run-rate victory chasing Rickmansworth’s 310, while Finchleians suffered defeat. Back to Harpenden for the next notable achievement. At mid-season, with their 1sts and 2nds likely to secure glory, Harpenden 3rds must have been less optimistic, treading water in 6th place in 4B. Eight wins (and one cancellation) later, they

Club-of-the-Year

In their respective divisions, Harpenden's six teams finished 1st, 1st, 1st, 4th, 3rd, 4th. An outstanding season which duly earned the club the President's Trophy for Club-of-the-Year. In any other year, Berkhamsted could have lifted that crown, with two 1st places, a 2nd & 7th. Other clubs which should be proud of their collective efforts were Potters Bar, with 2nd place finishes for both of their top two teams; Wheathampstead went one better, with 2nd and 1st places in their divisions; Ware had a 1st & 2nd, while Rickmansworth had a 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Finally, although Shenley Village 1sts dropped out of the Premier, their other teams had 1st, 2nd and 5th place finishes.

Speaking on a podcast about Harpenden’s outstanding season, as a club, veteran player Nick Lamb was asked what has made the club so successful. His comments included:

“It’s the culture. We’ve got an army of volunteers in the background. A great chairman, a director of cricket, a chairman of selectors and a good committee overseeing things. Then the availability of the players themselves and those players have just been phenomenal. We’ve also tried to change the culture a bit. Over the past 10-15 years we’ve been known as a social club. But when Jimmy Latham came in as 1st team captain, the season before last, he tried to change that culture a bit, based upon hard work and commitment. If you drive past the club on a Wednesday evening, you’ll see the number of lads that are training. Not just the 1s and 2s. There’s the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th teams training, working hard. Even when there might only be two games left in the season. So we tried to create a culture in the club where everyone buys in. They are committed and work hard.”

were champions. What a season for the club! Broxbourne II went up with them, after suffering a less heavy defeat on the final day than Flamstead, with whom they swapped places.

A slightly different scenario in 5B, where Mymms 2nds were flying high beyond the first half of the season, until Luton 2nds’ form and the weather made an impact. Plus another factor, when it came to the final weekend. This was the division which saw the exit of Potten End, so an uneven number of matches, each week - and by week 17 Mymms had completed their programme. Luton II, top, and nine points ahead of Mymms, won. Champions. Mill Hill, prowling 21 points behind Mymms, also won, giving them the final promotion place.

In 6A we had our first unbeaten team of the season. Pinner, played 16, won 16, and two cancelled. Deserved champions. Great excitement just behind, however, with Abbots 2nds and Rickmansworth 2nds separated by just one point! Victories for both on the final weekend, meant promotion for Abbots.

It was almost headline news in 6B that Aldenham didn’t win the title! Such has been their recent record of promotions. Party-poopers were Old Elizabethans II, who tussled for the title and eventually came out top when Aldenham lost their last match. That was against Eaton Bray, who finished 5th even though they won 10 matches, just one fewer than Aldenham in 2nd. The new boys probably learned the value of bonus points, even in defeat.

The regional divisions now started at 7, compared to divisions 10 and below, in the previous years. Divisions 7, 8 & 9 now limited travel by dividing east and west. With further regional splits below that. In 7 West, newcomers Ley Hill led from the start and took their first title, losing just one match, and also enjoying a thrilling tie against Bushey. The division also highlighted the geographical spread of the HPCL, with Ley Hill (Bucks) finishing ahead of Flitwick III (Beds) and Northwood Town II (Middx), in the first three places.

Further down, positions of the leaders and laggards in each division didn’t change much, as the season developed, but at that level it was more about participation than league positions and trophies.

Diamond Ducks

Here’s a rarity. On 10 August, two players were dismissed without facing a ball, in the same division one game. Sawbridgeworth’s Sayed Aziz was dismissed, stumped off a wide to the first delivery he received. Then Reed opener Kallum Ward was run out without facing, off the first ball of the home side's reply! This gem, above, came from Sawbridgeworth's long-serving scorer, Richard White, who also wrote this review of the season, for several years. It was Richard's final contribution before he passed away in February. See page 19 for our tribute to this legendary man.

Top Players

So much for the team performances. A number of individuals had a season to remember, for varying reasons. Starting with the leading performers.

Leading

From the top, l to r: Joe Joyce, Cameron Barford, Cole Briggs (photo courtesy of Steve Collins Photography); Charlie Mann, Iresh Saxena, James Seward, Oliver Arkinstall, Richard Soulsby, Mohammed Asif, Will Heywood.

Here are some nuggets which came our way, about these and other players. Starting with a report from the late Richard White, Sawbo's scorer.

At Sawbridgeworth 1st team match, on 3 August, Joe Joyce scored his third big century of the season, after being dropped in the second over on 4! In the same game, Joe Holland played his 100th 1st XI league game for Sawbo, 29 years after debuting as a 15 year old! He marked the occasion by taking his first ever league wicket with his very occasional off spin. Joe is brother of former pro footballer and Sawbo player, Matt Holland. Back to Joe Joyce. After consecutive big centuries (164 & 181*) in mid-June, he started the final day on 849 league runs, needing 101 to break Danny Wilson's club record tally, set in 2011. In the last match, against Old Elizabethans, with the scores level, he was on 97 and struck the next ball for six to win the game and move to 952. The contrast between his home and away form was remarkable. At home, he scored 805 runs, average - 115, while in seven innings away from home, he scored just 147 runs at 21!

Biggest score last season, and the only double century, came from Hemel ‘veteran’ Neil Morgan. The club’s Instagram account (image on opposite page) gave us the highlights of a remarkable innings.

milestone and finaished the league season with 746 runs. In addition, he won the 2024 Bedfordshire CCC Player of the Year award, voted for by his team-mates.

Above: George Thurstance

Below: Rhys Mariu

Above: Sonny Hodges

Below: Siggy Cragwell

George Thurstance of Flitwick has been one of the League’s most consistent players over the past 20 years and, with Flitwick’s promotion, he left the Championship behind as its all-time leading run scorer. At the end of July, on the day Joe Root passed 12,000 Test Match runs, George was approaching 12,000 runs for Flitwick – but finished just five runs short! Needless to say, he later passed that

Still with Flitwick, their overseas player Rhys Mariu made an impact with over 1,200 runs for the club, including nearly 500 in the Herts League. He signed off with 147* against St Albans. That experience must have helped his development back in New Zealand. In the Plunket Shield, in November, he scored 240 for Canterbury and followed it up, a week later, with 185, followed by scores of 87 & 70 in the next match, scores which got him into the NZ ODI team, against Pakistan, this April.

For a match-winning performance of the season, it must be hard to top Ian Gurney’s effort on 8 June, for West Herts against Potters Bar, in the Premier. In a 14-ball spell, the spinner took Bar’s last five wickets for just six runs! It's not just the top-flight players who get the recognition. Broxbourne's initiative is to select their ‘player of the week’. The winners don’t receive a shiny trophy, but a simple WWE replica belt, awarded every Saturday evening to bring the teams together and celebrate successes, regardless of the results. The winner on 18 May was 13 year-old Sonny Hodges, who scored his first adult half century for the 4ths, who beat Hoddesdon 3rds by 44 runs.

Finally, congratulations to Siggy Cragwell, Holtwhites Trinibis, who was awarded the British Empire Medal for dedicated public service with Network Rail. Siggy last featured in this handbook five years ago, after celebrating his 80th birthday. Yet he was still taking wickets for Holtwhites 3rds in 2024. He deserves another medal for that!

All Out For 8!

Nothing to do with our league, but if you think your team had an occasional bad day, last season, think about Wedgewood CC, from the Potteries area (naturally).

As the Daily Telegraph reported:

“What feels a million miles away from the pop-up stadiums and the million-pound broadcast and commercial deals is the occasionally anachronistic English club game… a reminder that grassroots is the game’s beating heart. On Sunday, Checkley CC skittled Wedgwood for eight then knocked off their target in just one legal delivery. Carnage.”

But then Facebook gave us a local connection. It came from well-known former Watford Town and Abbots Langley skipper, Dave Carlisle, who wrote: “My Dad, Fred Carlisle, did a similar thing when playing for Abbots Langley 2nd X1 against Old Albanians 2nd XI back in the eighties. Abbots bowled them out for 8. My Dad then hit the first two balls for a 4 and 6. Game was over within an hour. Teas were cancelled and everyone went home as the bar didn't open till 6 in those days.”

Promotion/Relegation play-off thriller

Welwyn

Garden City beat Shenley Village

In one of the very best play-off matches, with 640 runs scored, Welwyn Garden City regained their premier division status, by a margin of just 10 runs, consigning Shenley Village to a return to the Championship, after one season in the top flight. Both innings finished with the 10th wicket falling on the last ball.

At Digswell Park, Welwyn’s innings was built initially around Jacob Logan’s century, scoring 119 off 100 balls. Great support came from Owais Shah (54), the pair putting on 115, before both fell in the same over to Charles Thurston, the first of his six wickets. Radhakrishna Marripati (55) and the tail helped to ensure the hosts could set a challenging total of 325, meaning Shenley would need to score at more than a run-a-ball throughout their innings, to remain a premier division club.

That total looked a distant dream when Shenley were reduced to 23 for 3 and then 126 for 7, in the 27th over. That’s when Mohammed Rizvi was joined by Yash Lakhani, batting at no. 9. The pair proceeded to put on a cavalier 186, with superb power hitting. The game moved on quickly, as the excited youngsters struck balls into the trees, including 26 off the 41st over, when Shenley started to become favourites. With 2 overs remaining they required just 24. Or was it 25 runs to win? Umpires McCree and Riddleston advised the teams that, if the scores were level, it would be decided on wickets lost, then the scores at 20 overs (WGC were ahead on that criteria).

In the 49th over, 11 runs came from the first five balls, before Emerton had Lahani caught by Chalker. The large crowd had fallen quiet in the previous overs, as the tension had built, but the home supporters erupted at this wicket. The last over saw Rizvi out on the first ball and the victory chase was effectively over. Rizvi had scored a wonderful 161 off 149 balls (15x4s; 4x6s) and Lakhani an exhilarating 90 off 73 balls, including 7x4s and 5x6s. The umpires were pleased to report that credit went to both sides for playing the game in a competitive but great spirit throughout.

Top: Leaving the field, two of Shenley's heros, Mo Rizvi (left) and Charlie Thurston. Bottom: Owais Shah lets fly during his half century for Welwyn Garden City.
