Harefield have been drawn at home to Essex Premier League side Wanstead in the 1st round of the Bertie Joel Cup on the 9th of May. Wanstead in the 2020 season won the Essex Premier league (known at the Premier tier – Gooch division) and came 2nd in both the 2019 and 2018 seasons, having won the ECB national club competition in 2017. They will be a tough challenge for our young 1st XI but a fixture the club is all looking forward to. This is the first time Harefield have entered the competition since 2003. That year we reachead the semi final, beating British Airways, Southgate and Middlesex Tamils before losing to South Woodford in the semi final. The overview scorecards can be found below which include a Richard Mcleod 100 and a two 50's and a couple of 50's for former skipper Akshay Reddy in the cup run. This is the first time Harefield will take on Wanstead with the winner having a home draw to Middlesex Cricket League side Acton and has been described by the Club Cricket Conference as a 'heavy-weight' draw. We played British Airways in round one on 20th May 2003 and won by 6 wickets.
