ALTHOUGH Imran Iqbal's 4-20 closed out a resounding victory, it was a fine team performance - with both ball and bat - that saw Leverstock Green 1st XI to an impressive win at Holtwhites Trinibis.

It's now three in a row to kick off summer 2015 for Dayle Littlejohn's team who posted 190-9 from a rain-reduced 45 overs in Enfield - Kyle Claxton's patient 32 the biggest score of an innings during which plenty contributed.

In reply, seamers Majid Khan (2-6) and Adam Thomas (1-19) kept the Holtwhites batsmen guessing. Regular dismissals - including two for Littlejohn and Iqbal's four-wicket haul - saw the hosts removed for just 67.

LEVY GREEN 3rd XI fell just 19 runs short of Shenley Village III's 222 in a run chase which relied heavily on 57 from Stuart Evans.

Matt Lake, Karl Turner and Dan Lake all reached the 20s but the fall of wickets allowed hosts Shenley to keep Levy's chances of victory at arm's length.

Earlier in the day, Turner excelled with the ball to concede just 22 runs from 10 overs but went unrewarded with dismissals.

Lake snr picked up a couple of victims - one of which that LGGC favourite of ct. Puddle b Pond - but Village's 222-5 proved too many for Green's 203 all out.

A BELOW-PAR display in all three disciplines of the game meant Levy 2nd XI slumped to a second straight defeat - Flitwick II knocking off Green's modest 142 all out with losing a wicket.

Tellingly, extras contributed most runs (22) for LGCC after they were inserted by the visitors. Nick Merrett (21) and 19 not out from Abbas Ali were the only noteworthy contributions in an innings which finished 13.4 overs inside the 50-over allotment.

Three early dropped catches - all off the luckless Ajit Kumar - dealt Green an early blow to confidence in the field and they didn't recover.

Openers Gurney and Bodo made the most of their luck, and some tepid bowling, to cruise home with an unbroken partnership.

GREG COULSHED'S 4th XI made the most of another Saturday without a League fixture, travelling to Old Albanian IV for a 40-over friendly.

A dislocated knee suffered by debutant Jhangez Khan rather overshadowed Levy's chase, although fellow opener Charlie Cooke can be pleased with his 39 and three wickets (3-32) during a game which saw Levy reply to OAs 204-8 with 106 all out.

Skipper Coulshed's three dismissals and Khan's fellow debutant Kasim Akram's useful 10 not out were the most notable of the other Green individual displays.
