Mbekezeli Mabuza took six wickets as St Albans stayed top of the league with a comfortable seven-wicket success over Bushey.
He finished with 6-26 and with the help of Max Capaldi (3-5) they had the hosts all out for 94.
That hadn’t looked the case as Bushey made a solid start, putting on 36 for the first wicket.
But only four of the Bushey attack made it to double figures.
Jacob Winfield took the other wicket with Michael Goodfellow taking three catches in the field.

The win moves them 26 points clear of Eversholt, who drew with Bishop’s Stortford.
