BELMONT BOOK A PLACE IN TOM LOCKER CUP FINAL

In Newcastle District Cricket today, Wests beat Stockton, while Toronto and University both had comfortable wins.

Merewether thumped Cardiff, City beat Wallsend, and a win to Belmont sees them face University in the Tom Locker Cup final.

Belmont went up when they thought they had Ben Balcombe trapped in front.

He survived, but only a few balls later, Mark Littlewood claimed his off-stump.

Rhys Hanlon was out to steady the ship, sending Daniel Bailey to the fence for four.
