LEWIS BLAKE STROKES FIRST CENTURY OF THE 2025 SEASON:

Belhus 1st XI 270-5

Rayleigh 1st XI 105

In the Saturday 1st XI's opening match of the season against Rayleigh, we racked up a commanding total of 270 for 5 from the allotted 40 overs as opener Lewis Blake showed the way in posting the Club's first century (114) of 2025.  Dylan Sinfield supported well with a fine 66 and Afif Khan joined the party with 49.

After tea, Rayleigh met the Belhus bowlers at their very best as James Webb and Wasif Ghory captured 3 wickets apiece to see us home to a comfortable 165-runs victory.
