2s home π‘ π @harroldcc 1s

#coyo ππ¦¦π¦¦
In the @HertsWomensCL our ladies host @BedfordCC_ on Smithβs Meadow hoping to get back to winning ways.
Our U15 girls had a great win on Friday which hopefully is a sign of things to come.
Good luck ladies

On Smithβs Meadow, it was a miracle to get the 4s game on in RD11W but the toss was then lost and a whole world of pain followed!
74 all out was a poor return against previously bottom of the division, who chased that down easily.
Drop to 6th and a long way back up!
In Div 6A it was for once not a 12-3pm game for the 3s, and the batters put up a sensational chase!
St Margs opener made 157* out of a huge 278-6 but that was not enough as runs all the way down the order chased that down with 3 overs to spare.
Up to 4th, 2nd & 3rd to play soon
Another solid win for the 2s in Div 2B.
A good toss to win at a soggy THV and Wheato were then knocked over for 156 with wickets shared.
A decent 2nd wicket partnership set up the run chase, eventually a 4 wicket win with 9 overs to spare.
Up to 3rd, top 2 still to play.
The 1s came unstuck away at the dominant champions.
An unhelpful late dropout and a lost toss were not ideal π
Despite 84* from Nabs, 199 was never going to threaten a powerful batting line up who lost just 3 wickets in the chase.
Drop to 6th. Need a bit more from folk.
The 4s really could do with rubber rings & armbands to navigate Smithβs Meadow today! ππ»ββοΈπ€½π»ββοΈ
Potentially a rice growing championship rather than RD11W but with plenty of luck, a Bedfordshire derby might happen with winless Eaton Bray 2s the visitors.
5th vs 9th
#coyo ππ¦¦π¦¦
The 3s have a very similar record to todayβs oppo in the 12 till 3pm Div 6A!
A trek to the Essex border to play St Margs 2s who have risen through the divisions like us. They have 3 wins & 1 defeat in what looks a split league.
3rd vs 5th so should be competitive
#coyo ππ¦¦π¦¦
The 2s have been going well in Div 2B other than a poor chase in the dust at OFs.
Today we welcome Wheato 1s to THV for the first time in many seasons.
Ball likely to favour bat if the puddles can evaporate! A win would get us amongst the promotion slots.
4th vs 7th
#coyo π
As tough an ask as it gets for the 1s as we travel to the two time champions who appear to have a world beaters XI available!
So a perfect day to cause an upset!
Red ball, white kit, lots of overs, lunch & tea (sort of!).
2nd vs 5th
#coyo ππ¦¦π¦¦
