BROTHERS Steve and Richie Bushell hit form for Harwich and Dovercourt Cricket Club – only to finish on the losing side in Saturday’s defeat at Earl Stonham.

Replying to the hosts’ 244 for nine, the Low Road side were all out for 194 and therefore lost by 50 runs.

It was tough luck for the Bushells.

Steve returned excellent bowling figures of five for 60 in his 13 overs, while Dinesh managed four for 55 in 14.

Richie then led the way with the bat, scoring 54 – including eight fours and two sixes – with support from Alan Double (30) and Junaid (27).

However, it was not enough to prevent another defeat and Harwich could only manage eight points, compared to Earl Stonham’s 20.
