Glyn Treagus boosted his prospects of winning the Southern Premier League’s Division 1 batting prize with an unbeaten century in Andover’s 76-run rain affected win over relegated Totton & Eling.
The unbeaten 132 he made at Southern Gardens was his tenth SPL century and took his tally for the season to 605 – second and 49 runs behind Basil Akram, who is spearheading Sarisbury Athletic’s charge for the title itself.
Treagus, who ironically hit a century against Sarisbury earlier in the season, shared two significant stands with the Hooper brothers.
He added 124 for the second wicket with Ali Hooper (75) and then an unbroken 79 with skipper Matt Hooper (34 not out) as Andover totalled 279-5 off a rain reduced 45 overs.
Ollie Perrin carried Totton’s reply after the Eels, chasing 245 off 39.3 overs, slumped to 32-3.
Perrin hit 65 as Totton made 169-7 in reply.
The win, Andover’s tenth in 15 games, secures a probable fourth place finish for the Lions behind pre-season favourites Basingstoke & North Hants, whose match at Liphook was abandoned towards the mid-point of the second innings.
Basingstoke batted first at Ripsley Park and after the early loss of Dan Belcher (7), fellow opener Craig Williamson (23) and Richard Vinn (16) added 48 for the second wicket.
The Bountymen continued to find scoring runs tough and slid from 105-3 to 106-6 as Ben Julin (14) Will Phillips (23) and Mitch Stokes, with a golden duck, were all out.
However, the visitors batted all the way to the final over of their innings, as Martyn James (19) and young George Metzger (10) added valuable runs as they were all out for 157.
Skipper Charles Janczur (3-23) and Sean Burton (3-46) were the pick of the home bowlers.
The Liphook reply got off to the worst possible start, as Stokes (2-17) struck early on dismissing Rob Nickel (1) and Giles Cover (0) to leave them 11-2.
Teen Gab Broadhurst (12) did not last much longer before being caught and bowled by Martyn James (1-34) making it 22-3 Liphook’s best player Suman Ganguly (42 not out from 41 balls) then took centre stage as along with Harry Munt (14) they added 46 for the fourth wicket.
However, with the score on 81-4 from 21 overs the game was abandoned due to heavy rain.
The Rowledge-Old Tauntonians & Romsey match was postponed.
