Radlett's lions eat up Preston

Radlett III 211-8 dec.

Preston II 150-7

Herts Cricket League Division Six

Hosts Radlett had the lion's share of the play in this memorable match last weekend.

Skipper Richard Haxell, who went on to exhibit a classy innings, won the toss and decided to bat on a warm day.

Radlett made a good start, though they wavered somewhat until captain Haxell's firm hand steadied the ship and helped the side to declare at 211-8.

Preston's reply to Radlett was disappointing and, as they lost two early wickets, it became apparent they had no intention of mounting a decent challenge.
