Stanmore were victorious as they defeated Harpenden Seconds by 280 runs in the Chess Valley Sunday League Division Six.

In an impressive batting display, Gonga (90 runs) and Cullen (81 runs not out) top scored on the way to the team posting a total of 392 for eight from just 45 overs, at an impressive run rate of 8.7 per over.

This emphatic victory came a day after they drew with Eastcote in the Middlesex County Cricket League Division One with Tom Scollay the pick of the bowlers with four wickets from 22 overs.

Finchley also featured in the Middlesex League against Brondesbury and, just like Stanmore, could only secure a draw with number 10 batsmen Imran Qayyum scoring 70 runs - the highest total of his career - and taking a wicket.
