The Sunday 1st XI had their game ruined by the rain after posting a competitive 220 off their 50 overs. Sam Ledger (42), Richard Winchester (33) and Mark Winchester (32) batted superbly to help Wheato post the score at 4.4 runs per over but with Botany Bay on 105 for 4 off 25 overs, the rain started to fall. The Herts League rules reduced the score by the first innings run rate so the chase was cut to 181 off 41. The Botany Bay batsman took advantage of the wet ball and got over the line with 11 balls to spare.
