Belhus Cricket Club Saturday 2nd XI v Old Brentwoods on Sat 21 Jun 2025 at 12:30
Belhus Cricket Club Lost by 2 Wickets

Match report Belhus 2nd XI 251-8 (Alex Blake 92)
Old Brentwoods 2nd XI 256-8 (S Iqbal 71 A Khan 52)

In the seventh HF Essex League match of the season at North Stifford, our 2nd XI were surprisingly asked to bat first after Old Brentwoods had won the toss.

On a flat track in hot conditions, we lost a few early wickets, but opener Afra Rose (28) partnered Alex Blake (92) to get us back in the game. And then Oliver Davy, came in at No. 9 and struck his maiden fifty (59*) to take us up to a decent total of 251-8 from 50 overs after the six Old Brentwoods bowlers who were deployed shared the wickets.

After tea, OBs batted steadily with Shahid Iqbal (70), Asad Khan (52) and Abdul Manan (45*) proving our stumbling blocks, and although James Maynard captured 4 for 54 and Alex Blake held 3 outfield catches, we couldn't quite wriggle out their tail order and OBs marched home to a 2-wickets victory.

A good game. It isn't often that a side loses a match after scoring 250+ in first innings, so well played Old Brentwoods.

And our 2nd XI are perched in 2nd place in their Division.
