London Saints vs Ex Blues, 30th August 2019
Ex Blues 261-6 (McIntyre 3-17) London Saints 162 all out (Rogers 62, McInytre 16) The London Saints arrived at the picturesque Ex Blues ground for the 30th meeting between the sides with the confidence of back to back wins.

London Saints v Roadrunners – Sun August 4th – Old Haberdashers CC, Elstree / Borehamwood
Roadrunners 168 all out (Rogers 3-23, R. Griffiths 2-27) London Saints 170-5 (Mayhew 46 no, Nanton 31) I woke up full of optimism last Sunday morning, optimistic that England would roll over the Aussies and that we’d take a 1-0 lead in the Ashes. I was also optimistic or at the very least hopeful that […]
London Saints v Trafalgar – Sun July 28th – Old Haberdashers CC, Elstree / Borehamwood
London Saints 95-4 (McIntyre 31 no, Mayhew 16) After the mammoth tour report last week, this week’s effort is much reduced which is a shame as it coincides with our first, and much overdue, win of the season? When Statler, or is it Waldorf?, handed the team sheet to skipper Griffiths, John must have purred […]

Trafalgar Freehouse v London Saints – Dundonald Park Rec – Sun June 2nd
Trafalgar 197-7 (Griffiths 4-49, Wilson 2-28) London Saints 128-9 (Thomas 40, Calais 15, Wilson 15) It was the hottest day of the year and the 62-year-old cricket legend was looking forward to spending his Sunday relaxing in front of the telly. Outside, temperatures were soaring, but our hero didn’t care. After all, the cricket was […]
Sun May 26th v Nascott – Cassiobury Park, Watford (A)
London Saints 104 – 5 (Jones 32 no, Mr Extras 24, McIntyre 17) off 30 overs Nascott 106 – 5 (Smith 3 – 36, Thomas 1 – 15 + spectacular ‘Messi’esque run out by the Skipper) Another year but the same old Cassiobury Park pitch with council cuts meaning that the outfield was better suited […]
