JAMES WEBB REACHES 25 WICKETS IN UNDER 17s VICTORY:

Belhus Under 17 Blitz 135-9
Basildon & Pitsea Under 17 88-8:

Yest another excellent performance by our Under 17s in this SECPG match.

The Blitz batted first and although only 3 batters reached double figures - Louie Mailey (45), Vansh Mehra (24) and skipper Dylan Sinfield (16) - they were able to post a respectable closing total of 135-9.  For B & P, Elliott Noble bowled well to collect 4 for 24.

In the run-chase, opener Sugadhev Sriramajegam stroked 24 but other batters couldn't quite find their form against accurate bowling by the Blitz, particularly James Webb who picked up an impressive 4 for 17 from 20 deliveries to take his tally to 25 wickets for the season (our fourth bowler to do so) and see his team home to a 47-runs victory. Well played team.

And our Under 17s are undefeated in their Division with three League matches remaining.
