It was a day for the record books on Datchworth Green on Sunday as the Bennett brothers stole the show against bottom side Weston in The Broadview Windows North Herts League.

Luke reached his double century in just 127 balls, finishing unbeaten on 204, and Tom finished 135no from just 84 balls.

Skipper Tom elected to bat, and brother Luke put on 57 for the first wicket with Dave Bartlett who was stumped in the 10th over.

Luke was then joined at the crease by his brother, and they went on the attack immediately.

The next 10 overs saw the score lifted to 148, with Luke already on 82.

He reached his century in the 23rd over, from just 75 balls.

Tom's fifty came in the next over, from 37 balls. The score was already on 192, and Datchworth looked set to break records.

In the 33rd over, a nice boundary from Luke took his score to 160, beating the previous club record of 157 set by Pete Emsden which had stood for 18 years.

It also saw the score pass the 300 mark which nudged past the club's previous best of 297.

Both brothers batted on tirelessly, and despatched the bowling over the rope nine times and across it 36 times.

In reply, Offley made a rapid start and rushed to 69-1.

But Ickleford tightened up with Robinson taking 4-15 in five overs and good support was provided by Roy Izzard, Dan Watson and Scott Crouch as Offley slumped to 80-7 - six wickets lost for 11 runs!

A stubborn ninth wicket partnership held Ickleford up but they won with 4.5 overs remaining.
