Skipper’s 85 puts Redbourn on top
Dan Roe put in a captain’s innings as Redbourn beat North Enfield by 43 runs at Strayfield Road.
The skipper scored 85 runs from 117 balls at the number four spot as Redbourn set Enfield a target of 207.

Having been put into bat, openers Ben Roe (15) and Dave Irwin (10) put up 26 runs before falling in quick succession to Derrick Sanders (4-60).
Roe joined George Naismith (30) in the middle for a 55-run third-wicket stand, which was ended when Kieran Jones took the first of his two wickets to remove Naismith.
The captain anchored the rest of the innings, scoring seven fours and a six, before he was clean bowled by Sanders for the eighth wicket.
Dean Flynn added an unbeaten 18 at the bottom of the order as Redbourn closed on 207.
