Southend-on-Sea and EMT Under 11 Scorpions v Belhus Cricket Club Under 11 Blaze on Sun 29 Jun 2025 at 9.30am
Belhus Cricket Club Lost by 7 Wickets

Match report A Hot and Heavy Defeat

The second successive trip to the coast saw the Belhus Blaze visiting the Southend-on-Sea and EMT Scorpions at Southchurch Park. It was another very hot morning and the Belhus players, coming off a solid win the week before, were confident of a good performance. The team struck the first blow but securing the only shady spot on the ground but lost the toss and were put into bat first. The openers played well but found the quality of the bowling very good from the outset. Although pace varied, almost every bowler managed length well but line even better. A huge number of deliveries were on target and this served to create pressure on the Belhus batters. Not only because wickets were lost regularly but defending their wickets made it more difficult to score. The Blaze lost an unprecedented 16 wickets throughout the course of their 20 overs and so, although individuals scored well, the net total was only 13. Although down, Belhus was not out and some shade, water and tactical planning was freely dispensed during the break. Everyone knew their roles and took to the field to see what they could do. Tight bowling is always a must but this time wickets, and plenty of them, were crucial.

All bowlers toiled in the heat and bowled relatively well. The Scorpions often found it difficult to score because the bowling was backed up by some good fielding. However, too many deliveries were not directly on target and so opportunities were missed to collect wickets in the same way. The Scorpions put in a good effort and won easily by seven wickets. Belhus didn't do themselves justice but our bad days have been few and far between this season. With two games to go before the end of the league fixtures the focus will now be on the next match against Wickford. This time we have home advantage and will be hoping for a better performance.
