Belhus Cricket Club Midweek XI v MCC on Wed 16 Aug 2023 at 11.00am
Belhus Cricket Club Lost by 17 Runs

Match report MCC 265-5 (E Fluck 96 L Tredgett 94)
Belhus 248 all out (Joe Joyce 76 Ryan Wells 60)

This was our third match at North Stifford against the renowned MCC with the traditional start time of 11.00.
Captained by former Belhus player John Lewis Jnr, MCC batted first and found opener Fluck (96) and Tredgett (94) in fine form as they both fell just short of their centuries and enabled MCC to declare on 265 for 5 after 46.5 overs. None of our bowlers really got into his stride although Nathan Khelawon collected 2 wickets.

In our run-chase, Belhus soon showed their intent with Joe Joyce (76) and Ryan Wells (60) setting the pace, but MCC grasped the initiative in taking out our middle-order. Andrew Williams (35) swung the game back into our favour with a positive knock and Dulanjala Mendis (24 not out) looked like he was going to steer us home to victory. But it wasn't to be, as Belhus skipper Max Osborne's side narrowly failed to reach the required target to lose by just 17 runs.

Nevertheless, it was a close game of cricket enjoyed by all with Belhus being the only Club in our borough ever to enjoy the privilege of hosting a match against the prestigious MCC. And scorer Mark Blake along with umpires Martin Burnley and Todd Hamilton performed their duties with a smile.
