Shenley Village returned to winning ways with a comfortable 70-run triumph over Chipperfield Clarendon in Saracens Herts Division Three.

Shenley lost the toss and were put in to bat, losing two early wickets. However, Anooj Vadgama (top scorer with 45) and Morgan Stanley stabilised the innings. A series of useful contributions followed, to bring Shenley to a total of 215-8.

The Shenley bowling attack then ripped into the home side straight away. Wendell Roberts had the opposition captain caught behind in the first over. They kept the pressure on throughout, with Roberts taking four of the wickets. A highlight in the field was a superb catch, while running backwards, from James Williams at long-on. Chipperfield Clarendon were all out for 145, giving Shenley a much-needed victory, which takes them to seventh spot in the table.

Shenley Village host basement club Clifton this Saturday.
