Belstone v Tedburn

Re-arranged game played on 7 August.
Belstone got back on the winning track in the Buckley when a fine bowling effort saw them emerge as 41-run winners over Tedburn St Mary. Phil Woods (26 retired) held the top order together after the loss of two early wickets but it took a late assault from Harry Bushin (15) and Ryan Dennis (15) to take the score into three figures after Neil Branton (4-0-20-3) had accounted for the middle order. Chasing 114 to win Tedburn began badly as Tom Fogerty removed the top three while conceding 18 runs and then fell away completely from 29 for three to 57 for nine as Callum Mallett ripped them apart with his off-spinners, claiming four wickets for just nine runs in his four overs. Two late sixes from Barlow (18 not out) delayed the end before Tom Boother took the last wicket with his first ball. This result sees Belstone going into their final Buckley Cup match against Hatherleigh Colts needing at least six points to retain the trophy.
