Northwood Town Cricket Club Saturday 3rd XI v West Herts CC 5th XI on Sat 21 Jun 2025 at 13:00
Northwood Town Cricket Club Won by 1 wicket

Match report Predicted to be one of the hottest days of the year, NTCC 3s hosted West Herts 5s along with overseas ex Sri Lankan superstar Champaka Ramanayake. The toss was duely lost and NTCC were requested to take the field.

Some early wobbles with the bowling allowed the opening pair to set off on a steady start. WH progressed the run rate with caution and reached a meagre 30 runs at the 15 over drinks break. Ground fielding showed improvement this week and the NTCC managed to keep a stronger grip on the game. However 2 dropped catches later and the oppositions were firmly heading towards a 3 figure score, their Sri Lankan coach Champaka keeping the scoreboard ticking along. Once again our dynamic duo of Gordy and Bollywood Superstar Pradip reigned back the batsman taking 4 wickets apiece. The WH innings ended on 124 in the 37th over.

NTCC took to the field after tea and once again it was Typhoon Ponda that ripped through the back pitch devastating the bowling and laying bare WH's bowling stats. Ponda scored a fantastic 48 which included 7 boundaries and it was fabulous to see finally an NTCC opener playing the foundational role. Skipper Gordy found his rhythm too with a superb 29 not out and the last ball pair with young Het who was recovering from a recent photo shoot at GQ magazine eased NTCC 3s over the finishing line.

A well earned 30 points has kept NTCC in the running for promotion.
