Summary of the 2001 Season

  A great cup run for the Sunday 1st XI. We played 4 cup games against Premier league opposition, beating Stevenage in the Becker Cup (2nd round), narrowly losing to Hertford (I am not just saying that either, we really gave them a scare!)  in the quarter finals of the same cup and giving a good account of ourselves against the Premiership Champions, Hoddesdon in the ECB National cup (although we were really trounced by Bishops Stortford in the Bertie Joel). We also beat two other higher division teams in the Becker Cup, 2nd division  Abbots Langley (1st round) and 3rd division Wheathampstead (preliminary round). (For those who don't know we play our league games in Division 4 of the Saracens Hertfordshire League)

The club had a good season, considering the first half of the year we were still playing at temporary accommodation, whilst our ground was being rebuilt and in the second half we were contending with a new pitch (to give you an idea of this, I broke my arm opening the batting 4 weeks into using the new pitch! I now have a 4 inch plate in my wrist). The club won 48 games, drew 8 and lost 29 (and 1 aban, 17 cancelled)
