Aspenden v. Braughing
The above teams met at Aspenden on Saturday last - and a poorer exhibition of batting would hardly be possible.
Not one player in each innings scored double figures, Parker (for Braughing) being simply unplayable, taking eight wickets at a very small cost.
Manning an Rayment were both quite as unplayable as Parker - dismissing Braughing for the meagre total of 15.

Anstey v. Wyddiall
A match between the above teams was played at Wyddiall on Saturday last, May 14th, resulting in an easy win for the home team by 48 runs.
Anstey batted first, and were quickly dismissed for a 42 - F. Phillips (not out 11) and "Mr Extras" (10) being the only double-figured totals. S. Pledger took 4 wickets for 14 runs, and H. Pledger 3 for 9.
On Wyddiall going in to bat, the result hung in the balance until after the fall of the sixth wicket (which fell at 33 runs), but after that H. May (25) and R. Reed (18) put the result beyond doubt, Wyddiall winning as stated. E. Bonfield also made a capital 16 when runs were badly needed.
