Berko frustrated by rain but T20 campaign gets off to a victorious start
Berkhamsted’s first XI were left frustrated by the rain on Saturday after posting 206-6 from their innings but managed only 2.1 overs in the St Albans reply before a 45-minute storm left the ground too wet to continue.
Number three batter Adam Scotcher top scored for Berko with an unbeaten 79.
Berko were also treated to some late, lusty hitting from player/coach Riaz Richards (25 off 18 balls).
This Saturday Berko visit relegated Stevenage.
