The 1st team beat Radlett 1s by 6 wickets in a rain-reduced game thanks in large part to an unbeaten ton from skipper Jimmy Latham and another formidable innings from Cole Briggs. Our 1s have now gone top of the Premier Division:
Radlett: 225-6 off 34 overs
Harpenden: 231-4 off 30.2 overs (Jimmy Latham 110 not out, Briggs 82)
