Radlett had to settle for a draw in Home Counties Premier League Division One on Saturday.

They bowled out Potters Bar for 201, with Heath Paynter taking five wickets for 32 runs.

In reply, Radlett were left stranded on 142-4, as the rain set in.

The Cobden Hill-based side remain in mid-table.

They host bottom club Farnham Royal this Saturday.

Shenley Village were looking well set for a comfortable victory over bottom club Clifton in Saracens Herts Division Three, but were denied when the weather had alternative plans.

Shenley won the toss and elected to bat first, making a challenging 289-4 off 42 overs. Anooj Vadgama, top-scoring with 126, and captain Jemile Al-Darraji, hitting a chanceless 104 not out, made a club record partnership of 243.

In reply, Clifton struggled to make inroads on the home total. But, after 16.2 overs, and with only 32 runs on the board for the loss of one wicket, thunder rumbled around the ground and the heavens opened. With the majority of the Division Three fixtures also being affected by the stormy weather, Shenley remain in upper mid-table, having gained 11 bonus points. They will be hoping to take their batting form forward to this coming weekend’s encounter with second-placed County Hall.
