Belmont and Edgware lost by 27 runs

Belmont and Edgware (BECC) went down by 27 runs in a friendly against Regals in a performance which featured some determined batting, sharp fielding and excellent spell from leg-spinner Jack Mendel.

BECC lost the toss and were asked to field on a pitch which, although hard and true, was still exhibiting moisture from drizzle that had fallen in the morning.

Joe Saleh opened the bowling and displayed no signs of rustiness after an exam-induced break from cricket. Sticking to good lines and lengths and moving the ball into the right-handed batsman, he induced two or three edges before gaining his reward in his second over when Vinod skied the ball to mid off, where Matt Wetton snaffled a fine, running catch.
