WESTBURY CRICKET: WESTBURY captain Joe Breet believes his side's hard work over the last couple of months is paying off after maintaining their 100 percent start to the season on Saturday.

They followed up their opening day win at Nailsea with a comprehensive 56 run victory at Hambrook as they continue to set the early pace at the top of the Bristol and North Somerset Division.

South African opener Alex Hart stole the show with a majestic 67 as Westbury reached 192-2, while Martin Dolman picked up three wickets as the hosts were dismissed 56 runs short of their target.

Breet, said: "I am really happy. I don't think we played our best but we still managed to win quite comfortably and that is the sign of a good team.

"I think all the hard work we have put has started to pay off and hopefully our winning run can continue.

"We could have done a lot more on Saturday. We collapsed towards the end of our innings with the bat but still managed to win."

After being put into bat, Westbury started well with South African openers Breet (39) and Alex Hart (67) sharing a 74-run partnership before Breet was stumped off the bowling of Michael Morgan.

Ben Whiting (28) then kept the scoreboard ticking over until the pair were dismissed within a few overs of each other to leave them on 143-4.

Westbury only added a further 49 runs for the last six wickets as they finished their innings on 192-9.

In reply, Liann Botes dismissed opener Tony Dent lbw for one in a sign of things to come.

Seven different bowlers picked up wickets for the visitors as they bowled Hambrook out for 136 with 2.3 overs remaining.

Breet, said: "The team spirit is really good at the moment and that is one of the reasons why we have started so well.

"We are all enjoying our cricket and all want to be here and that is big help."
