County Hall v Hertingfordbury CC 1st XI on Sat 10 Jul 2010 at 1.00
Hertingfordbury CC Won By 58 Runs

Match report On a baking hot day, Hertingfordbury recorded a much needed victory against local rivals County Hall. Hertingforbury won what turned out to be a crucial toss and elected to bat first on a very dry wicket.
County Hall bowled well up front on a wicket that gave assistance with variable bounce a plenty. At 106-5 after 34 overs the first half honours were poised to go either way until a fine innings of 75 from Mark Gibbons and a late onslaught from Scott Bambling who struck a fine 66 not out took Bury up to 232-8 off their 53 overs.
County Hall started well in their run chase and Szemiako raced to 34 in quick time before he fell to the inconsistent bounce and was caught behind to a ball that climbed viciously from a good length.
From then on in Hertingfordbury took wickets at regular intervals and were always in control of the game and despite a late last wicket rally from Barnaby & Hibbeard the hosts were dismissed for 174 to fall to their first defeat of the season.
The game was also noticeable for a good piece of sportsmanship from Hertingfordbury who recalled a County Hall batsman who had been dismissed LBW having edged the ball in to his pads. Hertingfordbury players were all in agreement that this was the correct policy to take after some dubious sportsmanship and behaviour in their two previous league games.
