After a couple of quick wickets, Joyce took control, producing an unbeaten 58 while useful contributions from S.Ruskin, C.Abell and S.Clarke helped Hertford reach 214-7.

The 4s fell to a 6-wicket defeat against Holtwhites-Trinibis despite posting 205-4. Hertford's innings was built around an excellent partnership between Page and Wolton.
