Last Saturday Hampshire tourists Old Eldonians visited Rew Meadow for a high-scoring game. Belstone’s second wicket pair of skipper Andrew Paterson and Chris Walpole came within four runs of setting a new Club record for the wicket with a fine partnership of 178 in 25 overs. From the moment Paterson hit four consecutive boundaries in the 15^th over to force Falconer out of the attack the run rate increased steadily to over six an over as they scored freely all round the ground. Paterson completed his maiden century for the Club with 13 fours and a six before falling next ball with the score on 191, while Walpole followed 20 runs later having hit 12 boundaries in his 73. Martin Kuhn (30 not out) then played well but runs dried up at the other end so that only 36 came off the final ten overs with Gary Rogers bowling steadily to finish with four wickets for 36.

Belstone’s total of 236 for five (their seventh highest since the Club formed in 1993) began to look threatened as opener Maneesh and Steve Henwood set about their task after coming together at 50 for two. Particularly severe on anything short and benefiting from six dropped catches they kept up with the required run rate throughout a partnership of 144, which ended when Maneesh, having completed his maiden century, was caught on the midwicket boundary for 116, which included 17 fours and a six. Henwood carried serenely on with Craig Morley (18 not out) to finish with 68 not out as the visitors completed a well judged run chase with eleven balls to spare. Belstone man-of-the-match: Andrew Paterson.
