In a tense local derby, Bovingdon beat Ley Hill in the first round of the Hospice Cup. Ley Hill ended on 146-3 from their 15 8-ball overs with Jon Lown (37), Kaz Shakoor (36) and Andy Rennard (25) their top scorers. Despite the poor light in this cold evening match, Bovingdon made the winning total of 147 with an over to spare thanks largely to a superb knock of 73 by opener Latif.

Proceeds from this charity competition go towards providing a new building for the Hospice of St. Francis in Berkamstead. A further £67 was raised from the raffle held in the pavilion after the match.
