Cricket
Wyddiall v. Buckland
The above match was played at Wyddiall on Saturday last, resulting in a win for Wyddiall by 22 runs.
Not one batsman in either innings scored double figures - R. May and S. Pledger dismissing Buckland for only 9 runs.
Wyddiall scored a few more runs, but were quickly dismissed by the two Shepherd's for Buckland - A. claiming 6 and W. 4.
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.
