Last Saturday at Rew Meadow saw a splendid game of cricket in the inaugural C&G Trophy fixture between Belstone and a select XI chosen by local tradesman Chris Walsh of C&G Plastering Services.  Johnny Coburn got the select XI off to a rollicking start as he smashed seven 4’s and six 6’s in a fine innings of 77,  including 22 taken off Richard Drake’s first over, before Drake had him well caught on the long-off boundary by Matt Dennis.  Mike Jelley (31) and Simon Jefferies (42) both started tentatively but gradually found their form to add 76 for the third wicket to put the select XI in a strong position at 173 for three with five overs remaining.  Four run outs and three wickets for Matt Dennis then saw a sudden collapse to give an all-out total of 199 after 40 overs.    

Belstone started poorly as Coburn snapped up three catches at point to leave them on 35 for three in the tenth over.  Graeme Woods (five 4’s in his 26) then joined Chris Walpole for a stand of 40 which put the home team back up to the required five an over run rate.  Johnny Carter continued the recovery adding 74 for the fifth wicket with Walpole before he was well taken on the midwicket boundary by Fraser Willis off Terry Jeal for 42.  Walpole was eventually eighth out for a patient 43 (six 4’s and a six) with the score on 180, clean bowled by Greg Cornish, the pick of the select XI bowlers with three for 20 from six overs.  With help from a considerable number of extras (43) the final over arrived with Belstone still needing ten to win.  A wide, a scampered two and a single for Rob Sandercock (15 not out) brought Phil Dennis onto strike.  He pulled Jeal’s third ball high to the midwicket boundary where Reg Wonnacott spilled the difficult chance and stepped over the rope in the process to give Belstone a precious boundary.  Dennis hit the next ball over the ring of fielders for three to secure a nail-biting win for Belstone by two wickets with two balls remaining.
