Match report
Gidea Park and Romford 1st 237-5
Belhus 1st 212-8

Belhus produced an inspiring performance in this second round Dukes League Cup clash at Gallows Corner on Saturday. Their hosts are two divisions above them in the Shepherd Neame League but for the most part, Belhus matched their loftier opponents despite failing by just 25 runs. It was Gavin Jefferies with a fine 88 who led an almost perfect response to Gidea Park and Romford's total, while Billy Winter provided valuable support with 45, to add to his 2-49, a catch and a run-out earlier.

The home batting was particularly strong, assisted by occasional judgement errors in the field as catching opportunities were lost in a swirling breeze. Opener Sameer Zia scored 29 until he was trapped leg before wicket by Connor Day (1-38), Sameer's opening partner Luke Baker contributed 44. Home captain Russell Collard hit 24 until he became the first of young Winter's victims, Chris Collier remained undefeated with a fine 73. Asim Razzaq hit 47 as the top five batsmen produced a total of 217 runs between them. As the old sporting cliche says, Belhus can now concentrate on the league but they take many positives from their cup run. Their opening fixture in the Shepherd Neame division three is this coming Saturday when they host Billericay at North Stifford, 12.30pm start.
