Clifton edge home in high scoring encounter

Hoddesdon opted to bat and made steady progress at the Claybridge, recovering from 134-6 to reach 242 all out.

Richard Foxall was the pick of the bowlers with 4-53 off 14.5 overs while Adam Ryan kept the runs in check with 2-36 off 13 overs.

In Division Two B Potton Town clung on for a draw in a high-scoring match at Welwyn Garden City II.

The Potton reply began strongly as Stephen Williams (62) and James Warboys (67) pushed the score along ably assisted by Dan Hall (47). But once they left the crease the innings faded and they closed on 248-9.
