Belhus Cricket Club News Flash

19 junior members from Belhus Cricket Club, including a strong girl's team, enjoyed some kwik cricket fun as all three Belhus teams qualified for the semi-final stages of the annual Essex Association of Boys' Clubs indoor U13 tournament staged at the Eversley Leisure Centre in Basildon on Saturday afternoon (11th March 2006).
