Old Chomelians 225-9

Shenley Village II 119 all out

Herts Cricket League Division Ten

On a blisteringly hot Saturday afternoon the Villagers were roasted by north London side Old Chomelians.

Shenley made a fine start with Frank Lillywhite picking up two wickets, but two 40-plus partnerships from the hosts soon took the shine off Lillywhite's accomplishment.

As play went on, Shenley looked weak, and missed two catching opportunities. But the Villagers rallied. Simon Meyrick took two very good wickets, Justin Geary made a brilliant run out, and Sam Seinthan made a good catch.

However, these efforts were not enough to prevent OCs from posting an eventual total of 225-9. When it came to batting, Shenley failed to make the grade, slumping to a dismal 119 all out. The only halfway decent knocks came from Bob Sangaran (31) and Geary (19).
