All four won at Berko CC
Berkhamsted CC were celebrating wins for each of their four sides on Saturday afternoon.
Their top team overcame local rivals Langleybury (164-10) in Division One of the Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket League.
Batting second, James Stedman and Oliver Janaway found the runs needed to topple Langleybury's total, hitting 165-4 in just over 30 overs.
The result leaves Berko mid-table with Gazette Cup winners Langleybury still fighting for their lives at the bottom of the division.
Berkhamsted II (134-2), meanwhile were eight-wicket winners in Division Five against Broxbourne II (133-10), with Berkhamsted III (221-10) 90-run victors over Little Berkhamsted Sahibs (131-10) in Division 10.
Unbeaten innings from Andre Machon (62) and Ian Peplow (45) did the job for Berko IV (176-2) against Hatfield Hyde (127-10) in Division 13, with the club pushing for top spot.
Only one Hemel Hempstead Town side could muster a win.
Their top team (203-10) were the only victors on a sloppy Saturday, Brett Penney (62) top-scoring to take his total to 616 league runs for the season against St Albans (130-10).

Hemel keep in touch with Bishops Stortford at the top of Division Two East of the Home Counties Premier League.
Tring Park moved closer to the top of Division One with a seven-wicket demolition of basement club Harpenden.

With the bat he scored 77, to add to scores from Ricky Hopwood (54) and Kyle Nipper (40).
