Two players from clubs in the district appeared in the top 10 batsmen in the Herts Cricket League Premier Division for 2020.

Radlett's Dominic Chatfield placed third in averages for the disrupted season, hitting 308 runs in his six innings, an average of 51.33 per game.

His best score was 127, crafted in the win at North Mymms in July, and it far eclipsed Andrew Neal's best of 69.

However, the Harpenden batsman was just seven places behind Chatfield with an average of 42.83 from six innings.

Radlett also had three players in the top 10 of the bowling figures and two in the top four.

The ECB said: "Cricket as we know is a naturally socially distanced sport that is safe to play and gives people of all ages the opportunity to exercise with friends or relatives.

"We know how important cricket is for people’s physical and mental health and we will continue to liaise with the Government for us to come back as soon as possible."
