Bashley (Rydal) left-arm pace bowler Bradley Currie has been named Southern Premier League 'Young Cricketer of the Year' after his 42 wicket haul helped the all-conquering New Forest club lift the ECB Premier Division title for the first time.
The 21-year old, who took 98 wickets in all senior cricket this summer, captured almost half his wickets in June, achieving a 6-14 haul at then leaders Lymington and 6-18 against Bournemouth two weeks later. He is the 39th winner of the John Millett Memorial Trophy.
Currie, pictured in action at Lymington by Terry Nash, said: "I'm just happy all the hard work from last winter paid off and getting the Young Cricketer award is a reward for all the hard yards I put in during the close season.
He regularly opened the bowling in Minor Counties Championship cricket for Dorset, who have earned a place in the top level of the new look National Counties CA Championship in 2020.
To cap a fine month for the Currie family, sibling brother Scott (who is on Hampshire's books) has been picked for England's Under-19 trip to the West Indies next month.

Hampshire League cricketers have boosted the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal to the tune of almost £140 following a 'fines session' at the past weekend's County and Women's Division presentation awards dinner at the Ageas Bowl.
League chairman Denis Emery explained: 'Basically, we fine everyone £1 who turns up at the dinner without wearing a poppy - and we donate the proceedings to the RBL.
'It's a bit of fun on the night everyone goes home with their poppy having donated to such a wonderful cause.
'The first of our award dinners is always at Remembrance Weekend, so we are able to make a donation every year at this time.'

​Royal Navy and United Services cricket in the Portsmouth area has been saddened by the recent passing of Captain Derek Oakley RN MBE, aged 92 years.
Derek [left] was an incredible man of many parts, mainly in his 42-years where he served with distinction with the Royal Marines. A batsman/wicketkeeper, he represented the Royal Navy and Combined Services and, alongside cricket at Burnaby Road, played for his home town club Hayling Island.  He joined XL Club in 1969 and was chairman of the South District for some time and probably set a record of scoring a 50 every three matches. Remarkable consistency.  
He produced an 180,000 word memoir about his career which included him being in command of the first landing craft which started the Suez invasion on November 6, 1956 which was aborted when the US failed to support the operation, being an aide de camp to Lord Mountbatten, a guard of honour at the funeral of Winston Churchill, an officer during the Malaysian Emergency in 1950-1, the Brunei revolt (1962) and Sarawak (1963-6). He wore six medals and one was the MBE. He wrote six books including two about the Royal Marines.
Rear Admiral Roger Moylan-Jones said “He was known never to go anywhere without his whites and cricket bat in the back of his car and on business, it always seemed to coincide with cricket match somewhere. He played so much cricket, we used to joke that by early June, he’d scored 1,000 runs.”    ​Brian Scovell.

Bashley (Rydal) have won the ECB Southern Premier League's 'Ground of the Year' for the third time in the past four seasons and for a sixth time overall.
Their groundstaff are pictured on the roller proudly displaying the George Winkles Memorial Trophy they first won in 2001, again in 2002, and on three more recent occasions in 2016, 2017 and again this season.
Winning the Ground Award was the icing on the cake for the well run New Forest club, whose first three teams all carried off their respective league championships.  The 1st XI were ECB Premier Division winners, the second team topped Premier Division 3, and the thirds the Hampshire League County Division 3 South title.
Calmore Sports won the Paul Thompson Trophy for the most improved SPL ground.

ALTON AWARD WINNERS
Back: Ryan Covey, Mike Salmon, Julia Moulton, Ian Mason, Amelia Marshall, Richard Myers.
Front: Nathan Vincent, Scott Myers, Andrew Postles, Xavier Bochereau​.

​Ryan Covey climaxed his debut season at Alton by being named 1st XI and Player’s Player of the Year.
The season after playing for Liphook & Ripsley in the Village Cup final on the hallowed turf of Lord’s, he marked his first summer with the Brewers by scoring 437 Southern Premier League runs alongside capturing 13 wickets.  He also made his maiden SPL century (in a successful August run chase against Havant), having been run out for 99 at Bournemouth earlier in the summer.
Scott Myers, with 558 league runs out of an aggregate 807 (seven half-centuries), won the 1st XI batting prize, with Mike Salmon named 2nd XI Player of the Year.
Alton’s award winners were -
Ryan Covey - 1st XI and Player’s Player of the year

​Bournemouth leg-spinner Jeremy Warner has made an early impact in Melbourne’s South East CA by taking five wickets in only his third bowling spell for his adopted Australian club East Sandringham.
He took 5-51 by the end of a lengthy 28-over stint as East Sandringham beat West Bentleigh (191) by eight wickets to halt a stuttering two-match losing start to their defence of the Longmuir Shield, which they won last winter.
Warner has also been in handy form with the bat, scoring 25 in an opening day defeat by Elwood.
Bournemouth saw little of Warner last season, the Swanage-raised leggie spending the opening half of the season with Castle Eden in the ECB North East Premier League, before graduating from Durham University.  He took 15 wickets in three separate bowls for Castle Eden, but managed only three SPL games for Bournemouth, taking five wickets, including 3-27 in the win over South Wilts.
South Wilts all-rounder Will Harries was Parkdale’s match winner in the dramatic one-wicket Southern Bayside Championship victory over South Caufield, who looked favourites to defend their 175 when Parkdale dropped to 159-9.  Enter Harries to hit an unbeaten 17 and win the game for Parkdale …

​Three members of the Bashley (Rydal) side that lifted the championship for the first time have been named in the ECB Southern Premier Division Team of the Year.
Skipper Michael Porter, leading run scorer Tom Friend and left-arm seam bowler Brad Currie are chosen alongside Str Cross Symondians trio Harry Came, Max Curtis and South African Marvin Williams.
Fellow Cape cricketer Hilio De Abreu, who took 30 wickets alongside his 678- run glut, shares the all-rounder spot with South Wilts’ James Hayward, whose left-arm guile accounted for 21 unsuspecting victims.
Lead wicket taker Matt Metcalfe, Brad Curie and Marvin Williams form a formidable front line attack, with South Wilts’ skipper Tom Morton taking the gloves and his regular opening batting slot.
Premier Division select –
+ Tom Morton (South Wilts): 586 runs and 22 dismissals
* Michael Porter (Bashley Rydal): 513 runs
Harry Came (St Cross Symondians): 530 runs and 19 wickets
Hilio De Abreu (Burridge): 678 runs and 30 wickets
Tom Friend (Bashley Rydal): 621 runs

Max Curtis (St Cross Symondians): 515 runs
Matt Metcalfe (Lymington): 47 wickets
Brad Currie (Bashley Rydal) : 42 wickets

​At least 15 players with Southern Premier League connections are featured in The Hundred Draft, five of them having spent their embryo years with the Hampshire Academy at the Ageas Bowl.
Hampshire pair James Vince and Liam Dawson are in the Southern Brave squad, alongside spinner Max Waller, who played for Bashley (Rydal) while he was at Millfield.
Mason Crane has been signed by Shane Warne’s London Spirit, Benny Howell by Birmingham Phoenix and OTs & Romsey left-armer Chris Wood by the Oval Invincibles.
Birmingham Phoenix have signed former Bournemouth batsman/wicketkeeper Chris Cooke (now with Glamorgan), Ventnor raised Adam Hose and Benny Howell.
Ryan Higgins, David Payne (who played in Bournemouth’s ECB T20 Cup winning side of  2009) and Katie George cross the Severn Bridge to play for the Welsh Fire.
The complete list is –
Danny Briggs (Ventnor) – Welsh Fire
Chris Cooke (Bournemouth) – Birmingham Phoenix
Mason Crane (Academy) – London Spirit
Liam Dawson (Academy) – Southern Brave
Katie George (OTs & Romsey/Totton & Eling) – Welsh Fire (Women)
Ryan Higgins (Bashley Rydal) – Welsh Fire
Adam Hose (Ventnor) – Birmingham Phoenix
Benny Howell (Academy) – Birmingham Phoenix
Chris Lynn (Gosport Borough) – Northern Superchargers
Glenn Maxwell (South Wilts) – London Spirit
David Payne (Parley/Bournemouth) – Welsh Fire
Reece Topley (Academy) – Oval Invincibles
James Vince (Academy) – Southern Brave
Max Waller (Bashley Rydal) – Southern Brave
Chris Wood (Academy/OTs & Romsey) – Oval Invincibles

South African Cameron Delport, who played in Hampshire’s 2007 ECB Under-17 County Championship winning side while he was in the Sixth Form at Portsmouth Grammar School, has been snapped up by Birmingham Phoenix. [The defeated Durham side at Hove included one Ben Stokes].
Derbyshire’s Wayne Madsen, who has played hockey locally for Fareham, joins the Manchester Originals franchise. 

Sarisbury Athletic brothers Josh Hill (left) and sibling Sam (right) have been named in the 2019 Village Cup Team of the Year following a public vote by The Cricketer magazine, organisers of the competition.
The pair helped Sarisbury reach the semi-finals, where they were beaten by Hertfordshire club Reed, who went on to lift the trophy for a third time in ten years at Lord's in September.
Josh Hill smashed an unbeaten 203 in the second round defeat of Bramshaw and later score a crucial 101 as Sarisbury Athletic knocked out WEPL side North Perrott in the quarter finals.
He made a total of 453 runs in the Village Cup, while left-arm spinner Sam took 16 wickets, including a 5-10 return against 2018 Lord's finalists Liphook & Ripsley in the Hampshire county final.

Sparsholt skipper Jeremy Frith can look back on another terrific season, topping the Southern Premier League Division 1 batting charts, finishing with the second highest number of wickets – and leading the Winchester club into the runners-up spot behind champions Hook & Newnham Basics.
No wonder he was an automatic choice for the SPL1 Team of the Year which, not surprisingly, contains four members of the champion club, led by Josh Buckingham.
Hook bowling team-mates Aniket Divecha, Martyn James and Jack Murrell were also named.
Selectors were spoiled for choice for wicketkeepers, with Sam O’Brien’s 505 runs tally for Sparsholt getting the Australian into the side, but into the field.  Andover teen Alex Ayers made 493 runs in nine knocks, one innings short of the qualifying criteria.
Calmore Sports pair Ben Johns, whose 651 runs contained two centuries, and Mark Lavelle, with an economic 33 victims at a miserly 2.78, were also selected.
Overall, the 11 players picked came from four clubs, Ben Duggan and Fraser Hay from Portsmouth.
Premier Division 1 Team of the Year –
Ben Duggan (Portsmouth): 590 runs
Ben Johns (Calmore Sports): 651 runs
Jeremy Frith (Sparsholt): 670 runs and 37 wickets
Fraser Hay (Portsmouth): 651 runs and 41 wickets
Sam O’Brien (Sparsholt): 505 runs and 16 dismissals
+ Josh Buckingham (Hook & Newnham Basics): 472 runs and 34 dismissals
David Banks (Sparsholt): 635 runs and 16 wickets
Mark Lavelle (Calmore Sports): 33 wickets
Jack Murrell (Hook & Newnham Basics): 32 wickets
Martyn James (Hook & Newnham Basics): 29 wickets
Aniket Divecha (Hook & Newnham Basics): 32 wickets

Veteran Basingstoke & North Hants all-rounder Keith Harsham has been chosen to represent England Over Sixties on an upcoming 14-match tour to Australia, which will include three One Day International 50-over 'Ashes' matches.
Harsham, who fired Hampshire Seniors to the ECB 50-plus County Championship quarter-finals with a breathtaking 98* against Berkshire this summer, will play a key all-rounder role for England with his hard middle-order hitting and seam bowling.
He will certainly need to keep fit on an exhausting 31-day trip, in which the England team will play in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, on the Gold Coast, and Northern New South Wales, Queensland, Sydney, and Tasmania.
"There are plenty of long coach journeys and a few internal flights, but the itinerary is superb, with seven warm-up games - the first against New Zealand - before we play Australia in three ODIs," Harsham smiled.

* The Southern Premier League Division 2 Team of the Year will be announced tomorrow.

Hook & Newnham Basics are set to be playing top level ECB Southern Premier League cricket next summer.
The pitch, outfield and off-field facilities at their tree lined King George V Ground have been given the nod of approval by the Premier League’s accreditation gurus.
Now all their promotion to the Premier Division now requires is formal ratification by the other 34 clubs at next month’s league annual meeting.
Ironically, Hook will be replacing arch local rivals Basingstoke & North Hants, who have suffered a multiple relegation with both their SPL teams and their third side, which plays in the Hampshire League, all demoted.
Hook lifted the Division 1 championship by winning 14 of their 16 league matches this season to finish a thumping 46 points ahead of Sparsholt, who finished runners-up.
It means a promotion double for HNB, with Kevin Light’s second team finishing runners-up behind Parley in Hampshire League County Division 1 and clinching a place in Premier Division 3 in the bargain.
                                                                                Proud moment
News of Hook’s promotion could hardly have come at a better time, with chairman Keith Lovelock making the announcement at the club’s awards dinner.
“It’s a proud moment for everyone associated with the club. To be able to celebrate two promotions like this is simply marvelous and speaks volumes for all the effort a lot of people have put in, both on and off the field,” he beamed.
“From a Chairman’s perspective, I’m obviously very proud of the way Josh Buckingham, in his first season as captain, matured into a leader. This was something I didn’t expect to happen so quickly if I’m honest, but he certainly showed little weakness and installed confidence in the younger team members.”
Hook & Newnham Basics’ recent investment in their playing facilities has certainly paid dividends.
“I’m told our actual pitch marks were very good and the outfield is improving quickly following a £70,000 project two winters ago to relay and drain the entire area,” Lovelock continued.
“We’ve also bought new custom-made sight screens, but on the playing side I’m sure we’ll need to recruit a few names faces if we want to compete in the Premier Division and, more importantly, stay strong as a club.”
He added that, much of Hook’s success in the summer months had been down to Vince Gardner's appointment as Director of Cricket and to pre-season training and proper preparation led by Ian Simpson and Buckingham himself.
Gardner explained: “Pre-season training was split between fitness on a Monday night and nets on Thursdays and Saturdays. 
“Once the season started our Tuesday night sessions were as professional as I can recall. The squad trained hard and the pre-match warm-ups were excellent.
“Our strategy at the start of the season was to maintain all four sides in their respective divisions but it soon became clear that the first and second teams should be challenging for honours. However, we literally went week by week and selection meetings we’re meticulous.”
                                                                                      Statement
“We held a 1st team squad players meeting at the start of the season and Josh made it clear he wanted all of the lads to play without fear, especially the young players that had been drafted in following the loss of 2 of our top order batters.”
“Josh built a new culture of train hard and enjoyment as a group. Young players were welcomed in and treated like senior players.”
Skipper Buckingham, who made a big statement on the Premier League scene with that blistering 84 off 40 balls in the previous season’s Twenty20 Cup final victory over South Wilts under the Ageas Bowl floodlights, paid tribute to his playing squad and back-up staff.
He said: “I’m so proud how hard the boys worked both on and off the field. We trained hard from January and that showed with our good start to the season.
“The most exciting thing is how young our squad is, and how we managed to encourage them to play positively, and without fear throughout the season. 
“We are extremely excited about the challenge of next year, and will train even harder to make sure we are ready to go next summer.”

​Alton teenager Abhay Gonella carried off the MVP award as his adopted Sydney club Campbelltown-Cadnam snatched a dramatic win over University of New South Wales in the NSW Premiers Second Grade this weekend.
The 18-year old produced a key all-round performance, taking 4-31 off 16 overs as UNSW were dismissed for 227 by stumps on day one.
Gonella [pictured] then underpinned a nervous Campbelltown run chase, opening the batting and scoring a patient 60 which included only three boundaries.
But his knock proved critical as CC grabbed victory courtesy of an unbroken tenth-wicket stand.
Andover's Alex Ayers, meanwhile, had to be satisfied with his four victims behind the stumps on day one of Parramatta's 89-run defeat by Sydney.  Ayers was unable to add to his overnight score of three as his side was dismissed for 159.

​Seasoned Burridge spin all-rounder Suji Wickramasinghe and Parley paceman Ollie Green have topped the Hampshire League County Division 1 individual performance charts this season.
Wickramasinghe, with 629 runs, saw off challenges from teen pair Dan Bailey (Sway) and Jacob Harris (Gosport Borough) to become lead run scorer, while Green [left] is top wicket taker for the second consecutive season.
New Milton raised Eric Linge made a hefty 811 runs for Ferndown Wayfarers, while Salisbury teen Henry Smith grabbed the opportunity to underline his swing bowling prowess by taking 33 wickets for South Wilts.
Hampshire Women's starlet Providence Cowdrill helped IBM Hursley win County 3 North with 32 wickets.
It was all in the Line of Duty for policeman Sam Godfrey to win the County 3 South batting prize with 772 runs for Cadnam, while Gregor McKenzie literally walked away with the County 4 North batting prize for Twyford.
Cricketers to receive their awards at the Hampshire League presentation dinner at the Ageas Bowl on Friday 8 November -
COUNTY DIV. 1: Suji Wickramasinghe (Burridge) - 629 runs
COUNTY DIV. 1: Ollie Green (Parley) - 36 wickets

At long last they've agreed on something !
It's taken a fair while, but news seeping out of Brussels suggests Michel Barnier, Jean-Claude Juncker, Angela Merkel and Boris are in agreement ...
The Southern Premier League Divisional 'Teams of the Season' have been picked and will be announced early next week, one per day.
Spokesman Donald Tusk said: "It's been a hard grind, so many aspects to consider. There's the hard border around Bemerton and Chapel Gate for starters. Can we do a trading deal with Ventnor and is Bashley (Rydal) a Dorset ground ?
"The team choices may not be to everyone's liking, but nor's Brexit by all accounts ..."

Alton's Adhay Gonella and Andover batsman/wicketkeeper Alex Ayers produced eye catching performances in the latest round of New South Wales Premier matches.
Because Alton frequently engage seam bowlers as overseas players, Gonella only gets the occasional opportunity to display his bowling skills - but, given a chance by his adopted Sydney club Campbelltown- Camden, he didn't disappoint.   In a 16-over spell he took 4-31 as opponents UNSW were dismissed for 227.
Ayers, meanwhile, snapped up four catches behind the stumps as Parramatta dismissed hosts Sydney for 248.  Ayers the opened  the batting and was 3 not out overnight.  Play resumes on Saturday.

Sixteen Hampshire clubs - Alton, Beaulieu, Burridge, Fair Oak, Grayshott, Havant, Hook & Newnham Basics, Hursley Park, Langley Manor, Longparish, Purbrook, Sparsholt, St Cross Symondians, Sway, Tichborne Park and Waterlooville - have been granted ECB ClubMark accreditation for 2018-2021.

South Wilts' pace bowler Luke Evans [pictured] has switched States to play his Aussie Grade cricket this winter. 
​Previously with the Victorian sub-district team Parkdale, Luke has crossed the New South Wales divide to play for St Patrick's in the Cricket Albury Wodonga competition and will debut in this weekend's back-to-back curtain raiser T20 matches.
The South Wilts connection remains at Parkdate, however, with Will Harries and teenager Jack Spearman having flown to Melbourne for their winter activities.

Island spin all-rounder Ben Attrill flew to Australia last night to spend the next six months honing his skills in South Western Australia county district cricket in the coastal town of Albany, a five-hour drive south of Perth.
The 18-year old, who is cutting his teenage teeth with Lymington in the ECB Southern Premier League, will play for Denmark in the Albany District League, where five of the six A-Grade clubs share the same turf pitches.
Attrill, who has deferred a placement at Oxford Brookes university to travel Down Under, got relatively few opportunities to make a significant impact Lymington, but was a leading light in the Isle of Wight U17 squad, hitting three fifty-plus scores in the ECB 50-over B Cup and another in the three-day county match against Dorset.
Attrill, who also took 19 wickets in ECB competitions with his off-breaks, will make his Danes debut in Saturday’s match against Railways.

Arthur Godsall has been named South Wilts' Cricketer of the Year after scoring 349 runs and taking 23 wickets for the Bemerton-based ECB Southern Premier League club.
The former Ealing all-rounder enjoyed a purple patch in early July, taking a personal best 6-21 as Alton were skittled for 44 before lunch and the following week struck a maiden SPL century against Basingstoke & North Hants.
Joe Cranch was 2nd XI player of the year - his 492 runs including a career-best 185* against Langley Manor, plus three other fifty-plus scores - while Henry Smith (in his fresher term at Nottingham University) was the lead third teamer, his 33-wicket haul also winning the Hampshire League County 2 bowling award.  Young James Brewer took 31 wickets in HCL cricket to win the 4th XI award.
Tim Cowley and James Wade, who have taken on a joint groundsman's role at Bemerton, were named senior and junior Clubmen of the Year, while the President's award went to scorer Adrian James.

​The Dorset Cricket Society has announced an attractive programme of speakers for the upcoming 2019/20 winter season, with former Hampshire captain Jimmy Adams, ex-Warwickshire & England opening batsman Dennis Amiss and past Zimbabwe skipper David Houghton all listed to appear in October.
The DCS meets every Thursday afternoon (from 1.45pm) throughout the close season at the Hurn Bridge Social Club, adjoining Christchurch FC and the Hurn Cricket Centre and membership is open to all cricket enthusiasts and comes highly recommended.   
The Dorset Cricket Society website is www.dorsetcricketsociety.co.uk and further details can be obtained from Graham Jones on 01202 248211.  Membership costs a mere £10 per annum and £3 per week.
Jimmy Adams will open the batting on Thursday 17 October, with Dennis Amiss (24 October) and David Houghton on 31 October.  Vic Marks, Paul Downton, Rev Andrew Wingfield-Digby, Alan Fordham (ECB Cricket Operations Manager) and Derek Randall in the subsequent batting order.

​Talented ​opening batsman/wicketkeeper Josh May, pictured celebrating a catch, has been named Basingstoke & North Hants’ Player of the Year. 
​In addition to making 283 runs in a demanding  role, May topped the Southern Premier League Division 2 wicketkeeping charts, with 24 dismissals, 15 catches and nine stumpings. He was awarded player of the year not only for his cricket but for all the help and dedication around the May’s Bounty club. 
​Joe Oates was named 1st XI player of the year.

​Emerging Hampshire Academy all-rounder Scott Currie has been named in a 16-strong England U19 squad set to tour the Caribbean in November and December.  
If the Poole-based prospect does well in the pre-Christmas tri-series against Sri Lanka and the West Indies in Antigua, he could be picked for the ICC Under-19 CWC in South Africa in February.
Currie’s Caribbean selection caps a superb summer for the Currie family. Elder brother Bradley won an ECB Southern Premier League championship winners medal with Bashley (Rydal) and is hot favourite to be named Young Cricketer of the Year.
Also in the England squad are Sussex's Horsham-raised batsman Tom Clark and the hard hitting Sam Young, late of Mark Garaway's Millfield, who played several times for Dorset this summer.
England, who have former Hampshire wicket-keeper Nic Pothas as fielding coach, will play two warm up matches against an Antigua U19 side before taking on Sri Lanka and West Indies in three matches at the Coolidge ground and the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.   The tour begins on December 1.
