Hertfordshire's Inter County Championship season ended at the quarter final stage of the Main Knockout Competition.  A strong Somerset team inflicted a heavy 34-6 defeat on Hertfordshire.

The three Herts combination to score points were Audrey and Brian Fowler in the Pairs, Jeff Branch, Mike Thrush, John Taylor and Sam Salmon in the Fours and Adrianne West, Mary Chadd and Brian McGivern in the Triples.

With the match already lost after three sessions of play, Hertfordshire offered Somerset the opportunity of and early trip home but they declined.

Despite this result, all players who have represented Hertfordshire this season should feel rightly proud that they qualified from the group stage to the senior competition and progressed through the preliminary round.
