Aspenden v. North Met
The above teams met at Aspenden on Monday last (Bank Holiday), and although very wet, and enoyable game was witnessed - Aspenden winning by 28 runs.
The North Met batted first and totalled 61, Neale (13), Calvert (12) and Northfield (12) being the double-figure scorers.
Aspenden made 89, but lost six wickets before the winning run was scored. Holmes, going in first, carried out his bat for a well-played 40 (including one four and 36 singles). Oakley also batted well, making 18.
Mr Dixon Brown most generously provided and excellent lunch to all, which was well served by Mrs Camp, of "The Fox."
