ST CROSS SECONDS CALL TUNE AFTER THIRD STRAIGHT WIN

St Cross Symondians seconds boast the only unbeaten record in the East group of the Southern Premier League Cup after thrashing Burridge by eight wickets.
But skipper Dave Orchard knows that his side’s three-match winning start to the competition will come under the closest scrutiny when the Hampshire Academy visit the Green Jackets ground on Saturday, 12.30.
Simon Beetham and Ed Ellis [left], who both played in Symondians’ West group tie at Totton & Eling the previous week, played lead roles in the demise of Burridge.
Beetham (3-29) ripped out the Burridge top three – the hosts lurching to 46-4 before Hilio de Abreu fought back with a six and seven fours in a run-a-ball 49 which lifted the total to 106 when two wickets fell in quick succession.
Dan Damley-Jones (20) led a late Burridge rally, but Orchard (3-35) and Dylan Clarke (2-20) eked their way through the lower order to leave the hosts 161 all out.
St Cross lost Kevin Neave early on, but once Steven Hirst (55 not out) and Ed Ellis (67) got into their stride, the outcome was never in doubt.  Their 124-run stand, which contained 20 boundaries, carried St Cross to the brink of a third straight East group win.
