Greenwood Park 112-4 beat Monken Hadley 111 by six wickets
GREENWOOD Park ended their four week tour of Herts with a trip to Monken Hadley in an attempt to get the season back on track.
Having won the toss Park elected to field and this decision was soon vindicated with Stevens picking up a couple of quick wickets. The effect of this was to spur his bowling partner on. Atkins soon got into the act and ripped through the middle order of the batting side.

Openers Baker and Eyre set about chasing down the total and quickly advanced to 30 before Eyre fell bringing Mahbubul to the crease.
He started building an innings and was joined by Smith and then Gloudemans (19*). With Park nearing the winning mark and Mahbubul eyeing his 50 he was clean bowled just four runs short.
This left Gloudemans to hit the winning runs and guide Park to a much needed win.
