* Hitchin defied the cold and rain to win their first friendly of the season on Saturday by five wickets against Preston at Lucas Lane.
In a 35-over game, Preston won the toss and elected to bat first and made 169 all out with skipper Ashley Catlin top scoring on 42.
Savo Balac starred with the ball for Hitchin taking 4-20 with his off spin.
In reply, Hitchin reached their target with six overs to spare thanks to an excellent 86no from Danny Fair.

It is for boys and girls, aged eight to 14, at the Pirton Recreation Ground in Walnut Tree Road from 10.30am to midday.
