Last Sunday, Hertford over 50's welcomed Australia over 70's to Balls Park as Australia made their final preparations for the upcoming World Cup. The game will be remembered for a narrow loss and an excellent day but it also featured Eric Riddle in his retirement game.

Hertford CC remembers Lawrie Wright (1940–2026), the “quiet titan” who scored 20,000+ runs and made 868 appearances. A loyal clubman who shaped generations of cricketers, he will be greatly missed. Funeral: 30 October, 12pm at St Andrew’s Church, Hertford.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Lawrie Wright on 27 September, just hours after the final ball of the 2026 season at Balls Park. A quiet titan of Hertford CC, Lawrie will be deeply missed. Our condolences to Eleanor, Tom & families. An obituary will follow.
