Excellent displays from Ashley Connick, Simon Taylor, Rafi Addlestone and Richie Wienburg helped Belmont & Edgware 1st claim their first success of the Middlesex Sunday League Division Two season.

BECC captain Warren Averbuch won the toss and elected to bowl first. Averbuch and Jonny Evans opened the bowling and the skipper soon removed the opening batsmen. Evans bowled well and was soon replaced by Connick.

Connick found his rhythm from the start and removed Kensington and Chelsea's captain thanks to a catch behind the stumps from Nick McLeod. Averbuch continued to place pressure on the batmen, with Connick picking up wickets at regular intervals, one of which produced a sublime catch from McLeod behind the stumps.

Weinburg replaced Averbuch, and he and Connick helped restrict the west Londoners to 65-5 with Connick (8-2-10-4) bowling superbly picking up four wickets in his spell.
