Buckingham hit a low

02/08/2008 - In a rain delayed match, Buckingham never got going as they recorded their lowest Home Counties score of 68. Thame had little difficulty in knocking off the runs for the loss of two wickets.

Cross squander Kidlington generosity

02/08/2008 - Gerrards Cross’ woes continued as they suffered another embarrassing defeat losing by 50 runs to Kidlington after yet another inept batting display. Offered 50 overs to get 153, they collapsed to 102 all out.

Draws leave it tight at the top

02/08/2008 - Week 13 results have created a situation where any of the top six are still in with a good chance of being champions. Indeed, until their match against Falkland became a victim of the weather, Henley might also have still counted themselves to be part of the mix, given the unpredictability of results this season.

Hertford continue to improve

02/08/2008 - Hertford comfortably drew with Stevenage and, in fact, for a time, threatened to win. However time lost through injury, lost balls and rain coupled with the 10 over difference in innings proved too great a hurdle.

Radlett barks loudest

26/07/2008 - In an eerie replay of the same match in 2003, Hertfordshire spinner Paul Barker (110*) smote the boundary that gave Radlett victory by the same 1 wicket margin to return them to the top of the table, the position they last held after this fixture 5 years ago.

The Hertford drought is over

26/07/2008 - After nine games without a win, Hertford's fortunes changed in an exciting fluctuating game with Sawbridgeworth. The margin, just two runs. Ryan Cunningham tried to smash Ruskin for a six to win the game only to hole out to Tom Bancroft running round from long off.

Gerrards Cross bounce back

26/07/2008 - Gerrards Cross bounced back from their recent poor form with a comprehensive 114 run win at home to Thatcham Town. Faisal Shahid hit a fantastic 151 and Alan Duncan finished the game off with his third five-wicket haul of the season.

Randall debut ton for Radlett

19/07/2008 - Simon Randall became only the second Radlett player to fire a century on 1st XI league debut in more than 30 years with a scintillating display against Slough at Cobden Hill on Saturday. Although Stuart Browne followed up with 5 wickets, Slough held on for a draw.

Bad day at the office for Town

19/07/2008 - Buckingham Town's recent improved form deserted them as Wokingham made good use of winning the toss restricting the visitors to 172 a target they reached for the loss of just 3 wickets.

Cross batting hands it to Thame

19/07/2008 - Gerrards Cross suffered an embarrassing 127 run defeat at Thame Town as their season went from bad to worse. Chasing a competitive total, the Cross batting proved lacking as they fell to a 127 run defeat.

Rain puts paid to Radlett's chances at High Wycombe

12/07/2008 - A rain delayed start and a further rain intervention left Radlett to play out a draw at High Wycombe. The home side raced to 238 despite 5 wicket for Atul Sachdeva. Further rain reduced the Radlett innings to 30 overs and with it no real prospect of a result.

Rain enables Cross to survive

12/07/2008 - Gerrards Cross’ inconsistent form continues as they just hung on for a draw they probably didn't deserve against a Finchampstead team for whom Steve Bloyce took 7-51 in 17 overs.

Town climb table with back to back wins

12/07/2008 - On a damp wicket, Buckingham restricted Farnham Royal to 151 with Dewayne Bowden taking 5-49. Although the target was low, it took concerted effort from a number of batsman to grind out the two wicket victory.

Ahmed anchors all-round batting display

05/07/2008 - After a couple of weeks with the top order batting stalling Stevenage were back firing on all cylinders at West Herts. West Herts ended 138 runs short of their target and Stevenage a frustating 2 wickets from victory.

Wright and Duncan rekindle Cross

05/07/2008 - An unbeaten 150 by Mark Wright and a five-wicket haul for Alan Duncan got Gerrards Cross back to winning ways with a 69 run victory at home to Wokingham. After suffering two consecutive defeats, the Cross needed this win to stay in the title hunt and restore some pride.
