Old Finchleians 126

Broxbourne 128-7

A sparkling innings of 68 from Ishaq Fatani was about the only positive aspect of Old Finchleians' narrow defeat by high-flying Broxbourne in the Hertfodshire League Division One.

Only Andy Ferguson of the other batsmen reached double figures, and Fatani's fine effort at least gave OFs something to bowl at.

All-rounder Fatani (3-31) then disposed of both Broxbourne openers and, with support from skipper Vinay Mehta (3-18) at least gave OFs some bonus points before they went down by three wickets.

Janu Mehta (6-45) bowled Broxbourne's seconds out for 176. Then Howard Masters (45) and Darren Crispin (74no) shared an opening stand of 133 to virtually ensure victory.

Trevor Lee (37no) smashed the ball to all parts of the ground to clinch the nine-wicket win.

OFs 120 (Sherman 35), Wembley II 121-0.
