Skipper Gareth Wynne won the toss, and requested first use of what appeared an excellent batting track. Despite the early loss of both openers, Preet Singh (who cleared the ropes twice in a counter-attacking 45) and Kunal Shah (35) re-built steadily, combining for a 70-run partnership in 14 overs.

Although London Colney made another couple of quick breakthroughs to stem the scoring rate, a patient knock from Amit Singh (35), allied to useful contributions from the lower order saw the side reach 224/9 from their 50 overs. Yugal Kalaskar and Rory Gethin-Golder both made 16, and Sam Edge finished 14 not out.

London Colney performed well in pursuit of an imposing total. Although four out of the top five made 30 or more to put Hatfield And Crusaders under pressure, the visitors produced a determined bowling and fielding display to chip away with wickets at regular intervals.

The bowlers rotated well, with wickets claimed by Gethin-Golder (2/34), Edge (1/37), Ben Clark (1/54) Amit Singh (2/26) and Preet Singh (3/32), to ensure that London Colney were bowled out for 204, falling 20 runs short.

The 2nds moved up to mid-table in Division 6B, with a second consecutive win, as Bushey II visited Ascots Lane. After choosing to bat, the visitors made 151, before being bowled out in the 42nd over. The bowlers combined effectively in economical spells, and wickets were shared between Ian Golder (2), Joe Bigley (2) and Andy Foster (3). An impressive effort in the field, including three run outs, was perhaps best encapsulated by an excellent catch in the slips from Alex Digby to dismiss Bushey's best player.

Golder struck an excellent 64 in response, providing the backbone to a successful run chase. With contributions from all batsmen, Hatfield And Crusaders ultimately reached their target with three wickets and 12 overs remaining.

The 3rds bounced back well from defeat last week, with a comfortable 52-run win over Hertingfordbury II. Hatfield And Crusaders recovered from 52/8 to post 102, as Colin Jeffery (24) was ably supported by the lower order in two crucial partnerships to reach a competitive total. Ravi Lavu and Bikku Vamsi both added 15 runs apiece.

A relentless effort with the ball ensured that Hertingfordbury were never likely to reach their target. No bowler went for more than 2 runs per over, as they all claimed valuable scalps. Openers Bikku Vamsi (5/15) and Max Oram (1/7) both bowled miserly 8-over spells, before Syam Chowdary (2/9) and Ravi Lavu (2/10) claimed the final wickets to dismiss Hertingfordbury for 54.

The 4thXI and Sunday fixtures had to be cancelled through lack of player availability.
