The Belvidere Cup is bringing Premier Cricket to the heart of regional NSW this week, with four teams set to play their round 10 and 11 one-day fixtures in Dubbo from December 13–15.
This regional carnival aims to bring high-quality cricket to local communities, fostering a connection between the country and the Premier Cricket competition. It also highlights the significant contributions of country players to Premier Cricket, in inspiring the next generation of players in regional areas.
The matches promise to be fiercely contested, with Western Suburbs, Sydney University and Manly sitting neck and neck on the ladder in 9th, 11th and 13th positions, respectively, after nine rounds. UTS North Sydney, currently placed 17th, will also be looking to capitalise on this opportunity to gain crucial points.
Fresh off his 61 off 60 balls in the PMs XI against India, Hanno Jacobs will line up for Western Suburbs, while Ryan McElduff will look to continue his run of form with the bat - sitting in second on the overall run scorers' ladder for the season with 718 runs.
All eyes will be on Manly’s Ahillen Beadle as he looks to cross 10,000 career runs. Beadle currently sits on 9990 runs, after scoring the highest of his 15 centuries (190*) earlier this season.
