Bexhill v Belhus Cricket Club Sunday 1st XI on Sun 08 Aug 1971 at 2.30pm
Belhus Cricket Club Lost by 119 Runs

Match report Having travelled down from Dover where we had played the previous day (staying overnight at the White Cliffs Hotel), the 1st XI were feeling a little fragile. With an 11.30am start, it looked as though the match would be over quite early when Bexhill collapsed to 34 for 5. But a great recovery and a couple of dropped catches by tired Belhus fielders, saw Bexhill through to 209 all out from 56 overs. Andrew Walker bowled his heart out in taking 7 for 66.

In reply, we never really got to grips with the Bexhill bowlers and we were dismissed for 90. Colin Clayton provided some last minute fun with a couple of big sixes on to the pavilion roof. But a great weekend was had by all.

The next time we visited the Bexhill club was on our Youth Tour in 2013 - on 8th August 2013, exactly 40 years ago to the very day. And we lost again!
