Watford Town’s second friendly of the season against Wimbledon was cut short by the thunderstorms.

New recruit Tahir Afridi announced himself with a hat-trick last week against Stanmore. Afridi came in with Watford struggling on 40 for four but he batted sublimely to hit a superb 173.

He had partnerships with Mohammed Manzoor (63) and a 196-run stand with Gunjan Hazarika (52) as Town posted a total of 317 all out.

Wimbledon were struggling to on 102 for four when the thunderstorms brought the game to an early end.
