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."

Wyddiall v. Mr T. Pledger's XI

A match between these teams was played on Saturday last, Wyddiall winning by an innings and 50 runs.

Mr Pledger's XI batted first, and were quickly dismissed for 27 runs, Cooze being the only batsman to reach double figures. Cooze, however, was rather lucky - being bowled with a no-ball the first ball he received.

Wyddiall very promptly passed their opponents score, and after making 100 runs for 6 wickets declared their innings closed.

With 73 runs to get to avoid an inning's defeat, Mr Pledger's XI fared even worse than at their first attempt, scoring only 23.
