High Roding seconds had a comfortable victory at home to a Much Hadham side who turned up with just eight players. Hadham struggled with the bat achieving just 55 runs in their innings.
These runs were quickly got by the Roding batsmen for the loss of two wickets to secure the victory.
On Saturday High Roding entertain Stock, while the seconds visit Elsenham.
