Last
season’s inaugural match between Belstone and a C&G Celebrity XI
chosen by local tradesman Chris Walsh (owner of C&G Plastering
Services) had a nail-biting finish as Belstone sneaked a two wicket
win with two balls remaining. This years fixture went even closer to
the wire with the winning run coming off the penultimate ball of a
low-scoring match reduced to 30 overs after early rain. Belstone’s
opening attack of Rob Hall and Andrew Hooper bowled their seven overs
for only three runs, accounting for Mike Jelley and Simon Jefferies in
the process, Hall bowling Jefferies with one that cut back into him
after a series of testing outswingers. Former Somerset and England
star Vic Marks was content to work the ball around for singles with
the slow outfield making everyone work hard for their runs and after
Luke Wonnacott held a fine one-handed catch to dismiss Duncan Keir off
Buster Francis, the Celebrity XI were struggling at 20 for four in the
tenth over. A lively 22 from Johnny Coburn began the recovery before
Matt Dennis bowled a fine ball that nipped back through the
left-hander’s defences. Further success for the fielding side came as
Dennis Edwards (2-0-8-2) took wickets with successive balls to leave
the score on 74 for seven. With the overs ticking away Marks began to
pick up the pace, reaching his half-century with a six off Wayne
Pearce, one of four such lofty blows he struck off Pearce in just ten
balls. The final five overs yielded 41 runs as the Celebrity XI
finished on 135 for eight with Marks remaining 68 not out.
In reply
Pearce and Edwards made a cautious start reaching 45 in the twelth
over before Edwards was out for 14. Pearce then took advantage of a
dropped catch to dominate the top of the order hitting 6 fours and a
six before being third out for 67 with the score on 102. An
all-too-familiar Belstone batting collapse then threatened to throw
the game away as Marks, with the off-spinning skill that brought him
859 first class wickets, ripped through the middle order taking three
for four from three overs, to leave the Belstone wobbling on 104 for
six, still needing 32 from six overs. The pressure was eased when
Luke Wonnacott (17 not out) hit the otherwise excellent Simon
Jefferies (5-1-22-2) for two big sixes over midwicket so that by the
time the final over began only four where required. Even then it took
until the fifth ball before skipper Andrew Paterson hit the winning
run to square leg to secure a three wicket win for Belstone.
