Gosport Borough’s Jacob Harris, pictured, hit an undefeated 71 and debutant Hook & Newnham Basics spinner Charlie Neville took four wickets on an eye catching curtain raiser to the NatWest Under-16 Indoor Cricket League season at the Ageas Bowl.
Harris’s 71 not out, which set up a 47-run win for South East Hants Strikers over the district’s U15 team, was the highest individual score for several seasons.
With Troy Bound (29) going well and Totton handily placed at 55-1, Hook’s 123-5 was under threat.
But leg spinner Neville changed the face of the game with four wickets in ten balls as the Tigers sank to 100 all out.
Wiltshire’s Under-14 top player Jayden Atkinson underlined his potential with a tidy 3-8 return which set up an easy five-wicket win for South Wilts over BournemoutH, which Jack Stearman completed.
