As the sun set on another glorious afternoon at Park Road, game participants were able to wallow in the pleasure of another super saturday with 120 points gained out of 120. The game that was over the quickest was the 4th team game.
After Graham had got dismissed early in the chase for 89 to win, Ethan (44) and VJ (32) put on an 89 unbeaten partnership to make what could have been a tricky chase look easy. Which is how we want things to be in 2023.
Earlier Prasanth had been the standout bowler, taking 4-14, whilst Nasser also bowled his 8 overs for just 14. There were wickets also for Chandru, Neel and Chris as the Hatch End batters didnt have an answer to Ricky's tight bowling lines. The score of 88 was only going to win if Ricky didnt bat well, but this was dispelled by Ethan and VJ in 28 overs.
Interestingly, both Ricky 3rds and 4ths are joint top of their respective tables with...Chorleywood. It looks like a 2 horse race already in South West Hertfordshire !
