GIRLS V Middlesex....Sat27 March at Radlett SC

BOYS U-11 and U-9 V Middlesex and Essex....Sat 27 March at Cumberland SC (London)

HERTS   9   MIDDLESEX   3

  With coach Julian Craxton organising the Girls' county team at Radlett, the team was left in the capable hands of assistant Steve Lloyd who had to start the day by picking up several of the players from assorted parts of Herts.Once the tricky task of finding safe parking places( away from the watchful eyes of Middlesex traffic wardens) had been sorted out, the team produced a great performance. Unfortunately the lack of an U-9 opposition meant that our U-9s joined the U-11 team line-up but all played with great spirit.
