Barnet 163 Hayes 165-2

Grolsch Middlesex County League Division Three

Leaders Barnet suffered their first league defeat of the season when comprehensively beaten by Hayes on Saturday.

Barnet did not help their cause by loose and over-adventurous batting and a succession of careless shots meant that no batsman was in long enough to build an innings. Skipper Arnooj Vadgama (28), Baqar Rizvi (28) and Jaco Visagie (37) were the mainstays.

The tail failed to wag to any significant degree, and Barnet succumbed meekly on 153 all out off 50 overs.

They host a top-of-the-table clash with Barnes on Saturday.
