Belhus Cricket Club Sunday 1st XI v GORESBROOK* on Sun 22 Sep 2013 at 12.00
Belhus Cricket Club Won by 8 Wickets

Match report Goresbrook - 134
Belhus Sunday 1st XI 134 for 2

In the final league match of the season, this was the championship decider for the Essex Sunday League (East Division) title.

On a damp, dull afternoon at North Stifford, Goresbrook were put in to bat by skipper Michael Fogg. Spinner Theeban Tavarasa was held back for the 'death' bowling role and the plan proved decisive as Theeban quickly took 5 for 31 to dismiss Goresbrook for a modest 132. Danny Norris held on to 3 outstanding outfield catches and we put in a good all-round effort in the field.

In reply, and after losing an early wicket to the second ball of our innings, we sensibly regrouped and chased down the runs for the loss of just 2 wickets. Under not-so-easy batting conditions, Joe Joyce top-scored with a cultured 60 not out and Wayne Read (30 not out), and a jubilant Michael Fogg (24) made significant contributions against some tight Goresbrook bowling. Well played Belhus!

The win marked an unprecedented third successive season in the Essex Sunday League without being defeated, and was our second championship trophy of 2013 after the Saturday 2nd XI had lifted the Shepherd Neame Essex League Division Three title earlier in the month.

And the Sunday 1st XI enjoyed a highly successful season with their match record reading: Played 18 - Won 16 - Drew 1 - Lost 1 (against Mistley CC in the second round of the National Village Cup). Excellent.
