Batting first two wickets were down with only 6 runs on the board and when Will Bancroft was third out after 18 overs, only 29 run had been scored. Ollie Ray stayed with skipper Scott Ruskin while 35 were added, but Ray fell in the 27th over with the total still only 64. 8 overs later, Ruskin was bowled with his score on 41 and Hertford had scored only 85, half the side were out and only 13 overs were left. However Chris Box showed aggressive intent, getting off the mark with a straight 6 and helped by some less than straight bowling, that finally added a total of 18 wides to the score, the sixth wicket pair added 69 in the next 6 overs. Niz Mohammed was run out in the same over that Box was bowled, but Darby continued to bat well hitting Neville for 6 before being bowled in the penultimate over. And a\t the end of the allotted 45 overs Hertford had reached a respectable 193 for 9. The Stevenage reply started in a similar vein to the Hertford innings. Box and Mohammed took an early wicket each, then Navin and Brown made a steady recovery for Stevenage, although it was hard going against Mohammed who bowled a fine spell, eventually finishing with 2 for 29 from his 9 overs. Mohammed broke the partnership just before the end of his spell and then Mitchell Perry bowled Adil to make Stevenage 77 for 4 from 21 overs. Slater helped Bayes to take the score to 99, but then Bayes was run out by some slick fielding two short of his fifty and the game switched swiftly Hertford's way. Stevenage had little to offer in the lower order and Ollie Ray took full advantage. Bowling admirably straight he took the last 5 wickets in six overs at a personal cost of 14 runs and Hertford had won by 72 runs with 8 overs to spare.

However as often happens with low totals, batsmen get bogged down and become inhibited and Hertford were wobbling precariously on 81-6 when Chris Box came to the wicket. His preferred option was to hit anything hittable and hit it hard and in 23 balls he struck seven fours in an innings of 30* to seal the victory for Hertford. Stortford, in their first game in this division for six years, started brightly despite losing Tom Chapman who played on to Niz Mohammed for 2. Skipper David Hughes was in imperious form lashing anything loose to the boundary though Chapman, in a risky single to get off the mark nearly ran him out - Hughes just beating Box's direct hit. Hertford's seam attack gave Hughes and Ballard plenty of opportunities and the score had raced to 61 by the end of the 11th over. Ruskin then brought himself on and the flow of runs slowed with very few coming from his end. Ruskin persevered with Box at the other end and was rewarded when the seamer, whose line was improving, bowled Hughes for 30 and then trapped Ballard lbw next over for 32.
