Hide AdFlitwick seem to be one of Hemel's bogey sides with the last victory - of very few - coming in 2021.
Hemel won the toss and batted but only the top three batsmen made it to double figures, namely Brett Penny (16), Hemish Ilangaratne (46) and Harry Ganley (37).
Then nothing as Hemel slipped from 91- from 27 overs to 128 all out in 46 overs. The destroyer for Flitwick was Nathan Healey with 7-46 from 17 overs.

*Hemel 2s won the toss and batted at Heath Park against Potton but that was about as good as it got.
There were only four double figure scores, Aaron Wilson (25), Ed Langley (19), Adam Moulster (13) and Dil Khan (11) to show in the scorecard as Hemel were dismissed for 78 in 23 overs, with five ducks in that scorecard.

Mike Samuels hit 52 from 92 balls as Hemel amassed a score of 296-3 from their 40 overs.

*Put in by Rickmansworth, Hemel 5s managed to hold their nerve and win a low scoring game. Hemel made 117 in 39 overs with Dan Keene hitting 29 and Vinnie Liddar 25.
