DYLAN SINFIELD BAGS MAIDEN '5FOR' IN ESSEX LEAGUE CUP VICTORY.
London Eagles 1st XI 134 (Dylan Sinfield 5-36)
Belhus 1st XI 137-3.
A return to competitive cricket in this 1st Round Dukes Essex League Cup match for this young First Team and a fantastic return it was.
Belhus bowled first and after an injury early on to Henry Overy, Dylan Sinfield & Louie Mailey bowled fantastically well with the new ball. Louie finished with figures 2-25, with the star of the show Dylan taking 5-36 (his maiden '5for') with some hostile fast bowling. The Belhus spinners wrapped up the innings after some lower-order hitting from the London Eagles tail.
A total of 134 was going to be tough to chase in overcast conditions on the used pitch.
Belhus lost Usman early in the innings. However, the ship was steadied by Lewis Blake and skipper Ryan Wells. Both batsmen fell with runs still needed, but on debut Ausman Ginai and Belhus veteran Billy Winter were the men to see us home. Ausman finished 46 not out and Billy 10 not out to get the victory.
Great work lads and on to Round 2.
