Belhus 5th XI 310 for 5
Hornchurch 182 all out
Tilly Barnett showed some real ‘girl power’ for Belhus 5th XI on Saturday as she claimed her maiden ‘5for’ which included a hat-trick.
Tilly was joined in the Belhus CC bowling attack by her brother, Lucas (2 wickets) and Aftab Mohammed (3 wickets) to halt Hornchurch’s valiant run chase.
