Westcliff-on-Sea v Belhus Cricket Club Saturday 2nd XI on Sat 08 Jul 2017 at 12.30pm
Belhus Cricket Club Won by 8 Wickets

Match report Belhus visited Westcliff High School on Saturday to play Westcliff-0n-Sea. Chalkwell Park was being used for a music festival. The nervous, foreboding of visiting school again for the school rebels of the team was apparent. This unease was further magnified when the skipper managed to lose his 9th consecutive toss of the season and the delight of fielding first on a scorching afternoon on a barren, bowl of an outfield.

Westcliff started briskly and were well placed at 130 for 2 but the entrance of Darrell and a second spell for Kenyon changed things dramatically. In 10 overs the pair took 7 for 32 with straight, seam-up seam bowling that took advantage of the dry, deterioating pitch. 162 all out was a top bowling performance.

After tea which was taken in the schools boys changing room, Belhus lost the skipper without troubling the scorer which suggested a difficult chase but Sansom (27) and Charlie Lewis (91 not out) shared a punishing partnership of 130 for the 2nd wicket. Young Lewis hammered 17 x 4s and 2 x 6s in his powerful, imposing knock. His sweeping and power off the back foot was withering. Jake Wolfe added 14 and Belhus romped to a very good 8 wicket victory. They had passed the examination.

The halfway mark of the league season has been reached with Belhus in 2nd spot - 2 points off top position. If we continue to play with the same purpose and concentration then the 2nd half of the season promises well.
