Sloppy display against bottom side
10:16am Wednesday 11th July 2001
North Middlesex 196-8 dec Barnet 123-7
Middlesex County League Division Two
Barnet played poorly against bottom club North Middlesex on Saturday.
There seemed to be an attitude that they only needed to turn up. Though North Middlesex lost two early wickets, they profited from poor fielding and declared at 196-8.
Barnet soon lost skipper Anooj Vadagama. Wickets fell regularly until Tinu Shukla (20 no) and Imran Malik (12 no) held out for nine overs for a draw. North Middlesex captain Gareth Davies (6-42) took the first six wickets.
On Saturday, Barnet are away to Barnes. Barnes II 170-6 dec, Barnet II 170-6 (Visagie 76). Hampton Wick Royal 84 (D Gerrard 8-31), Barnet III 85-4.
Remember When...
Appeal for memories from works' office
A HISTORIAN is hoping the public can offer more information about the Swindon railway works for his latest book.
Family born into a life of slavery
Celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott was faced with an emotional dilemma in a recent episode of the genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? Having traced one line of his ancestry to great-great-great grandmother, Catherine Smith, born into slavery in 1831, he then discovered a shocking piece of evidence. A different branch of his family tree led to great-great-grandfather James Gordon Harriott, white man and slave owner.
Exhibits give us a glimpse of glories
In my previous article I mentioned that a pageant took place in 1925 to celebrate 100 years of the railway. The GWR had to mock up the North Star to show off its history. However, after the pageant there was much talk about saving some locos for future generations to enjoy.
