Belstone’s tour to the Portsmouth area at the end of July began with a 20-over evening game against computer giants IBM which climaxed with the visitors needing six to win off the last over.  Earlier Harry Bushin (2-0-11-3) and Andy Carter (3-0-15-2) had shared the five wickets that fell as IBM reached 119, a useful total on a pitch of variable bounce.  Kev Gledstone and Phil Stride were the main scorers for IBM, retiring on 25 and 28 respectively. 

Belstone appeared to be cruising to victory on 65 for three in the tenth over thanks to 20 from Phil Woods and a generous supply of extras.  Dean Lardner (3-0-13-3) and Gledstone (4-0-14-2) brought IBM right back into the game as wickets fell and the run rate declined in the gloom.  Only one run came from the penultimate over leaving Belstone skipper Andrew Paterson (23 not out) and ‘keeper Johnny Carter facing Gledstone with those six runs required.  A single and three dot balls only increased the pressure but then Paterson stroked the fifth ball to the cover boundary to level the scores, before they scampered a single off the last ball to win the match by two wickets.
