Unfortunately the weather was the winner on Saturday when none of the Premiership games was played to a conclusion.

However, West Herts Cricket Club managed to play for 35 overs when they amassed a score of 217 for 1 wicket.

Not for the first time this season their openers held centre stage putting on 157 for the first wicket. 

Arjun Patel leads the way with 359 runs at an average of just short of 90 whilst Zaid Faleel is not far behind with 318 runs at an average 63.

This concludes the first 5 matches of 50/50 cricket.

The Stags now head into the next nine games of timed cricket at the head of the Premiership table.
