GOODBYE BELLINGDON

When Bellingdon C.C. folded during the winter it was decided they would have one last match – against Ley Hill on Bank Holiday Sunday. In a game full of laughs and fun, Ley Hill made 271-9 (skipper Rennard 69no and Kevin Phillips an excellent 83) and they knew this would be a tall order for Bellingdon – some of whose players being positively creaky.

At the end Bellingdon had made a superb 153 for 14 wickets! They had brought a squad with them and rotated them on the field and allowed everyone to bat.

It was a wonderful day, so much so, they hope to make this an annual fixture and to allow the name of Bellingdon Cricket Club to live on.
