Old Southendian and Southchurch v Belhus Cricket Club Under 15 Bombers on Thu 16 Aug 2012 at 10am
Belhus Cricket Club Lost by 6 Wickets

Match report Belhus U15B 67 all out
Old Southendian and Southchurch U15B 68-4

Belhus U15Bs completed their league programme for 2012 with this midweek morning match which formed part of the host club's cricket week. After the early loss of Belhus captain Toby Reynolds for just one run, his opening partner Braydon Scarlett looked very comfortable with some neat strokeplay in an innings which yielded ten runs.

But there were two needless run outs in the middle order. Alfie Debono should have been home and dry but he failed to ground his bat as he approached the crease, while Ewan Day tired on a second run which left him short of his ground as the bowler had time to collect the ball and move to the wicket to complete the dismissal. Day, who scored 12 runs, later atoned for the run out by picking up two excellent catches at cover.

Joshua Reynolds, batting at number ten, was the Belhus top scorer with a stylish knock of 17 runs. After the break, Belhus knew they had to dominate with the ball, but despite Joshua Reynolds' and Cameron Blake's efforts with 1-28 and 2-25 respectively, the game was almost up when Joseph Clarke came on to bowl. His first, and only, over was a revelation in that one wicket was claimed at a cost of only two runs. What might have been had the home side not been so close to their target.

For Old Southendian and Southchurch CC, opener Hopkins batted through the eleven overs to ensure victory with a fine undefeated 34. After the match, some members of the Belhus squad took advantage of the home club's sponsorship arrangement with Adventure Island, where heavily discounted tickets were made available to our team. The Belhus club management would like to thank their hosts for making this opportunity possible.
