​Havant are a sizeable 24 points adrift of the solitary Southern Premier Division 1 promotion position after a 92-run defeat by relegation threatened Old Tauntonians & Romsey. 
After ten completed rounds of matches, Sarisbury lead the way with 182 points, 14 more than Hambledon and 24 from Havant.
Charlie King (65) featured in two key partnerships and played an important role as OTR posted 251-6.  He enjoyed a century stand with Joe Vaughan (55) and then, puffing and panting, added more runs with Harry Tulk (64).
Hampshire U13 seam bowler Sam King (2-25) caught the eye with the new ball for OTs, bouncing out Rob Woolley then clean bowling Chris Thompson.
Aussie Kieran Abrams (44) held Havant together but from 146-5 they lost five wickets for 13 runs, Vaughan finishing with 4-42 and Tom Cowley (3-8) getting stuck into the tail.  Havant were 159 all out, well beaten but superbly fed by a lavish tea ....

Hambledon’s superb winning run continued as they moved up to second place in Division 1 of the Southern Premier League.
​Two years ago they won just five of their 15 completed second tier games, ending up relegated after back-to-back promotions. It’s a very different story now, with a 87-run success over Hook & Newnham Basics their seventh in 10 completed games and their fifth in a row.
In addition, the Dons are just two games away from reaching the National Village Cup final at Lord’s. They visit Goatacre in the quarter-finals on Sunday.
Their latest league victory owed a lot to a stunning partnership between tailenders Dan Mugford and Mark Butcher. 
They came together when Mugford walked out to the middle with Hambledon a sickly-looking 134-7, Jonty Oliver (37) having fallen to Josh Balcombe (3-50).
Mugford and Butcher proceeded to put on 94 for the eighth wicket, before the former was bowled having hit seven fours and two sixes in a 52-ball 59. Butcher ended unbeaten on 41 as the Dons closed on 272-9 (extras 35).
There was early joy for the Dons when Charlie Neville, one of SPL1's highest run-scorers this year, departed for just a single.  Henry Glanfield (2-27) also dismissed the other opener, Thomas May, before Ben Harding took centre stage.
Having taken just three wickets in his previous three Division 1 appearances this season, Harding bagged 4-50 – taking out most of the Hook middle order, including skipper Josh Buckingham (18).
There were late wickets for South African spinner Justin Behrens (3-43) as Hook were bowled out for 185, Hambledon leapfrogging Havant in the SPL log.

​The top v bottom clash in the second tier of the Southern Premier League went to form. Table-topping Sarisbury rattled up 299 all out at cellar dwellers Waterlooville en route to a 127-run victory.
Coupled with Havant’s surprise loss to lowly OTs & Romsey, Athletic are now 14 points clear in Division 1 with seven games remaining.
Ville had early joy after Sarisbury had elected to bat, Joe Mitchell dismissing Ricky Rawlins (18) and Will Bolton to leave the score 34-2. Bolton’s departure, though, only brought fearsome left-hander Nathan Feltham to the crease.
Having faced his first ball in the ninth over, Feltham was dismissed in the 35th having struck 111 off 91 balls. He creamed eight fours and five sixes, sharing a huge 177-run stand for the third wicket which was only ended when Tom Morton was run out for 64 (6 x 4, 1 x 6).
South African all-rounder Mathew Fourie kept the momentum going, with 51 off 45 balls, before he was caught by Sonny  Reynolds off the bowling of Mitchell. Given Sarisbury’s total, Mitchell’s eventual 4-27 haul of 10 overs was a very creditable effort.  Southampton University student Dylan Youngs ended with 3-48 after wrapping up the innings by removing Archie Pascoe and Sam Hill in successive balls.
Ville were staring down the barrel of an almighty defeat at 61-7. Openers Archie Reynolds and Charlie Whitfield were both out for three, while young Ray Reynolds departed for a four-ball duck.
Two other members of Ville’s top six – Sonny Reynolds (8) and Hampshire under-14 squad member Alex Cordery (4) – also came and went quickly.
Kiwi Luke Anderson (30) was the only top order batter to make double figures, with Ville indebted to spinner Matty Hayward for getting them up to 172. He hit 71 including 12 boundaries. The teenage son of Havant stalwart Pete Hayward, it was his maiden half century.
Youngs (18*) helped Hayward add 66 for Ville’s last wicket – five more than the first seven wickets had managed between them! – before the latter was finally out in the 37th over.  Pascoe (4-23) and Josh Williams (3-39) led the wicket-taking as Sarisbury celebrated an eighth win in 10 completed games.  ​Simon Carter, The News.

Evergreen South African seamer Bash Walters defied a painful broken thumb to skittle Burridge with a six-wicket return which consolidated Alton's third place in the ECB Southern Premier League log.
He took 6-29, the second best figures of the league season behind Lymington's Gareth Berg (7-21, ironically, also against Burridge) as the visitors were bowled out for a woeful 107, a target total Alton polished off without loss in 13 overs flat through Dan Harris (67*) and Sam Ruffell (37*). 
Walters struck with his very first ball and before long Burridge were 36-6 and needing Inayat Ullah (34) and Azim Chowdhury (18) to add 40 for the seventh wicket to avoid total embarrassment. 
Harris hit 14 boundaries in his unbeaten 67, while Ruffell added another 37 to his staggering July run tally.

​Oli Williams starred with bat and ball as the Hampshire Academy continued to close the gap at the top of the ECB Southern Premier League with an emphatic 107-run beating of Bashley (Rydal), who have gone six weeks without a win.
Williams followed up a maiden SPL fifty by taking three wickets with the first six balls he bowled at the start of Bashley's reply.
He rearranged Aussie Louis Clayton's poles with his first ball before having Jack Stearman and Ethan Baker caught behind by wicketkeeper Andrew MacEwen at 2-1, 2-2, and 3-2. Jacob Gordon (15) was Williams’ final victim after slowing the bleeding.
James Trodd (62), who did not bowl, led a middle-order rebuild alongside James McMurray (36), George Wilson (27*) and Dan Goodey (19) as Bashley reached 209, spinner Zach Basey taking 3-26.
Hampshire Academy earlier set an imposing 316-run target, having been 70-3 at one stage.
Chichester Priory Park based Freddie Gillett (67) steadied the ship before Manny Lumsden [above] and Williams released any grip Bashley had on proceedings with a 128-run sixth-wicket stand.
Radley College raised Lumsden hit 87 and Williams 51 as he Academy reached 316, Cameron Basey (3-36) joining his elder brother in the wicket taking stakes.

​Lymington have an opportunity to put a vice-like grip on the ECB Southern Premier League title race when they take a 19-point lead into Saturday's top table clash against second placed St Cross Symondians at the town Sports Ground, 11am.
St Cross are the only side to have beaten Lymington so far, albeit by one point in mid-May. If Lymington avenge that defeat they will be clear title favourites, but a St Cross victory would turn things upsde down.
Lymington continue to dominate their position at the top  having headed the table for five weeks overcoming a weakened Bournemouth by six wickets. Jovan Dhariwal had a great day for the second consecutive week, taking 3-30 with the ball before opening the batting and scoring 73 not out as his side chased down 215 to win.

​The Red Arrows RAF display team flew in and out of the adjoining Bournemouth international airport as the Lions promptly sank to 14-3 against Gareth Berg (2-27) and Dhariwal.  Namibian Shaun Fouche (41) helped Bournemouth rally to  before Lewis Freak (46) launched a counter attack, the last five wickets contributing 132 runs. The fightback was climaxed by a last wicket stand  of 63 between Dan Conway (42) and Oli Breckon (34*) that gave some respectability to the Bournemouth score.

​Lymington got off to a solid start as openers Jovan Dhariwal and Terry Crabb (22) put on 37 before Simon Woodruff (3-45) struck twice. Monam Abbas (25) avoided the hat trick and helped Lymington to 73-3. 
Dhariwal had played himself in and was joined by Ryan Scott (57,including eight fours) with the pair putting on 112 runs for the fourth wicket before Scott was caught. Dhariwal though guided the side home in another composed knock lasting 144 balls, including nine fours, as he and Gareth Berg (28*, including two huge sixes) put on 33. Lymington were home by six wickets with seven overs to spare.

Basingstoke & North Hants last pair Brad Neal and Ali Brown frustrated St Cross Symondians for close on 30 minutes to ensure they left Winchester’s Green Jackets Ground with a draw.
Responding to a hefty St Cross total of 365-5, Basingstoke ground out a ‘losing draw’ on 221-9 to bag nine precious points towards their ECB Southern Premier Division survival bid.
The result leaves Basingstoke seven points ahead of the bottom side Bournemouth (who lost by six wickets to Lymington) but has left St Cross Symondians a 19-point deficit to bridge at the top.
It created an almost ‘must win’ situation for St Cross, whose return visit to Lymington on Saturday (11am) is certain to have a significant effect on the Premier Division leadership chase.
St Cross are the only side to have beaten Lymington this season, albeit by a solitary run - 254-8 played Lymington’s 253 all out..
St Cross did everything in their power to force a result against Basingstoke - declaring their 365-5 after 54.5 overs and so give themselves 66 overs to bowl the visitors out.  They almost achieved it.
Gregor McKenzie provided St Cross with a boundary-strewn start, smashing four sixes and eight fours in his 74, before departing in the 18th over at 123.  Felix Organ made 53 before Kamran Dharawal took centre stage.

​The Gloucestershire prospect smacked an unbeaten 136 off 100 balls, six maximums and 14 fours, enjoying a century stand with Ed Elllis (46) before watching Charlie Gwynn (29 not out) clear the rope three times.
Basingstoke certainly made a positive start, with Matt Deadman hitting a season’s best 77 in a 87-run stand with Alex Bovill (43) and then seeing the visitors to 148 before becoming the first of McKenzie’s three victims.
Neil Shelar (34) eased Basingstoke’s response to 163 before Gwynn (4-49) triggered a mid-innings collapse, the next six wickets tumbling for 29 runs and the visitors to 196-8.
In the end, Brad Neal produced an out-of-character show of defiance, alongside Brown. They played out 6-half overs to guide Basingstoke to a losing draw at 221-9.

Harry Broderick hit a ‘responsible’ career best 182 and shared a new treble hundred ECB Southern Premier Division partnership record with fellow opener James Degg as South Wilts emerged with a ‘winning draw’ from their visit to Portsmouth.
The pair plundered 308 for the first wicket on Mike Barnett's batting friendly Southsea seafront surface, Degg hitting 131 as South Wilts posted a league record 417-6. 
Portsmouth replied with 303-5, creating a record aggregate 720 runs, 458 of them coming in boundary hits.
There was seldom any likelihood of a positive result from the 120-over run fest, save South Wilts’ 15-points haul lifting them 12 clear of Bournemouth at the foot of the table.
Bournemouth lost by six wickets to table toppers Lymington, while Basingstoke & North Hants clung on for a draw at St Cross Symondians.
Opening up is a relatively new venture for Broderick, who admitted that he had been told by some of the South Wilts elders to take more responsibility by going in first.
“We’ve struggled all season and losing key players recently hasn’t helped, so it was time to do my bit and get some runs under my belt,” said Broderick, who is training to become a carpenter by trade.
“It worked out pretty well. Scoring more than 400 will give the dressing room a boost and my form with it.
“I’ve made plenty of starts, but it was back in 2021 that I last made a hundred, playing for the Hampshire Academy against Alton. That was a long time ago, so I needed this.”
Broderick’s 182 contained four sixes and 28 fours, one of his straight hits sailing over the perimeter fence at St Helen’s and providing a souvenir front door dent in a vehicle whose owner drove off unaware of the damage !
                                                                                    Global Super League
Degg’s 131, which included 17 fours, was his first hundred for South Wilts but not a maiden one in ECB Premier League cricket, where he previously notched tons playing for Plymouth and Three Bridges.
Ben Draper helped himself to an unbeaten 43 and Tristan Francis (27) added to Portsmouth’s agony as South Wilts advanced speedily past 400.
Henry Woolf (6-89) took all six South Wilts wickets to fall, his figures complemented by some excellent outfield catching.

​With former Bangladesh Test captain Mohamad Ashraful managing the Rangpur Riders side in the Global Super League in Guyana and opener Carlin Joy still injured, Portsmouth’s batting armoury was depleted and when left-armer Tom Grant bowled lead SPL run scorer Ben Duggan cheaply, all bets were off in terms of a positive result.
Portsmouth skipper Dan Wimble [left] didn’t let a batting opportunity pass him by and tucked into South Wilts’ less than potent bowling attack with relish, striking a six and 26 fours in a career best 145 not out.
It was his third SPL century, previous ones coming against New Milton two seasons and for Fareham & Crofton back in 2021.
The match predictably lost all meaning as Portsmouth banked as many batting bonus points as they could, Draper calling upon nine bowlers (including himself) as Sujee Daini (57) and the Gadd brothers boosted their batting averages.

​Sparsholt is about to make a piece of cricket history as they host the first ever England Australia over 60s international to be staged in Hampshire.  It's at the Norman Edwards Ground, Locks Lane next Monday July 21 at 11 o'clock.
Dubbed the “Grey Ashes” Sparsholt stages the fourth of five one-day games. Results so far have been shared. It couldn’t be closer. 
The Hampshire Seniors, who selected Sparsholt as venue, has been a key part of over 60s and 70s cricket nationally which is  expanding rapidly – Hampshire are one of 34 counties playing competitively every week of the summer season. Many counties run four teams. That’s close to 2,000 active players. At the elite level the standard is high – a smattering of former pros are playing and very many former top level club players.
But as Pete Green, Hampshire County Seniors Chairman, points out, “We’re always looking for more players. There are many levels, if you’re playing as a 60+ come and say hi.  But we don’t believe anyone is ever permanently retired either and can’t return to the sport they’ve loved all their lives. Every ball is played to win, and good shots celebrated by both sides too.” 
He adds, “that sounds like old fashioned stuff perhaps, but if relatively old bones want one last hurrah it’s also great to know matches are played on great grounds and they’re fun. But this international, along with a second one against the USA next month, is the cherry on the cake.”
For Sparsholt chairman Andy Worth “being selected for such a prestigious international is a mark of our commitment to all ages of the game from a thriving boys and girls junior section through the adult league systems and on to hosting Seniors too. Following our pitch being ranked the best in the Southern League last year this is a fitting reward for the groundstaff and all at the club. We can’t wait to welcome England and Australia on Monday July 21 and welcome everyone who’d like to come along to see the game – it’s free to get in – we’d love to see you.” 

​Hampshire's youngsters pulled off a nerve jangling one-wicket win over Somerset to reach the ECB Under-18 County Cup quarter-finals, in which they will host Glamorgan.
Having dismissed Somerset for 222, Hampshire eased to 42-0 (Sam Ashman 30), only to lose five wickets for nine runs and drop to 51-5.
Batting on a parched Southern Gardens surface with its often unpredictable bounce hardly aided the Hampshire cause, but Anuj Srivastav and Hambledon's Seb Rowland (51) knuckled down and shared a century sixth wicket stand to put the side back on track.
Srivastav continued to hold the late innings together, clipping one superb six off his legs and hitting 13 fours as Hampshire closed in on the target - at the same time losing four more wickets including that of Raff Organ (13), who hit several fine cover drives.
But Srivastav was unmoved by the tension and went on to score a match winning 85 not out.

Leaders Lymington take a 19-point advantage into next Saturday's top table clash with St Cross Symondians, who were denied by the Basingstoke & North Hants tail.  Lymington won at Bournemouth.
Sarisbury Athletic are hot favourites in Division 1 after Havant came a cropper at OTs & Romsey. Hambedon are now second. Struggling pair OTs & Romsey and Totton & Eling both won, leaving Waterlooville in dire straights. 
Division 2 leaders Langley Manor lost again, enabling Andover to close the gap. Sway ended a losing sequence, beating Trojans, while Fareham & Crofton stunned SPL3 title contenders Sparsholt with a one-wicket win at Locks Lane.  Parley enjoy a 20-point lead at the top.

​Lymington retained the New Forest CA President's Cup when they beat Bashley (Rydal) by ten runs in the final at the town's sports ground.
Fielding six regular Southern Premier League cricketers, Lymington made 96-8 off 18 overs, with Gareth Berg and Jude Tollerfield each making 22.  Tommy Manning (31) and Patrick Lewis (23) top scored in Bashley's 86, Tirth Shah taking 4-14 for the winners.

​Dorset Head Coach Paul Lawrence wants his players to enjoy the occasion as well as trying to bring home the county’s first silverware in 15 years when they take on Shropshire in the National Counties Trophy final at Chester Boughton Hall on Sunday (11am).
Dorset’s last title was the National Counties Championship – then Minor Counties Championship – in 2010 but they have not appeared in the final of the 50 overs competition since 2006 and their sole success in the format came back in 1988 when they beat Cambridgeshire by two wickets in the final at Weymouth.
Dorset beat a fancied Berkshire side in the semi-finals at Finchampstead and, having since qualified for the Super 12s stage of the National Counties T20 competition, they will head to Chester full of confidence.
Seven Southern Premier League cricketers are in a 13-man Dorset squad, which could affect availability for tomorrow's matches involving Bashley (Rydal), Bournemouth and table topping Lymington.
Dorset squad: Dylan Church, Finn Gordon, Joe Eckland, Felix Organ, Will Tripcony, Alex Eckland,  Luke Webb, Connor Smith, Joe Carson, Matt Burton, Henry Dunlop, Mo Abbas, ⁠Ben Rogers.

Bournemouth opening bowler Cole Rushworth could miss the remainder of the Lions' ECB Southern Premier League campaign after suffering  a recurrence of a hamstring injury in last weekend's 14-run win over Basingstoke  & North Hants at May's Bounty.
Playing only his second Premier Division match of the season, Rushworth had already taken the wicket of Basingstoke opener Alex Bovill, but fell to the ground clutching his leg after bowling just one ball of his fourth over. 
Fielding a man down was the last thing Bournemouth needed in such an important match but, by good fortune, Rushworth's father was watching the game and donned his injured son's whites.
Predictably, the ball followed him in the field and, with Basingstoke 209-7 and Matt Donaldson threatening to win the match, Rushworth took a juggling catch at slip. The rest, they say, is history !

Bournemouth's hearts were in their mouths when Matt Donaldson edged Connor Smith to slip. It looked a simple enough catch, but .... 

​Bill Moulding, a major and respected figure at South Wilts cricket and a prominent Salisbury building contractor, has died suddenly, aged 76, having been taken ill on his way to play golf. 
Bill, whose Mouldings company are South Wilts main sponsors, enjoyed a long association with the Bemerton club. He kept wicket for the side which won the Southern League in 1991. Having hung up his boots, he continued to be a driving force behind South Wilts, championing the creation of a new pavilion and clubhouse in 2011.
Outside work, Bill was a gifted sportsman, representing Wiltshire in table tennis, cricket and rugby, and was a passionate golfer and loyal Southampton FC supporter. 
Bill will be remembered for his humility, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to his craft and his community. His legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of the Mouldings company he helped shape and the historic places he worked to preserve for future generations.
South Wilts' players and officials (along with their opponents) will join a minute's applause in Bill's memory before Saturday's Southern Premier and Hampshire League matches at Portsmouth and against Ferndown Wayfarers, respectively.

Alton's Sam Ruffell came within a whisker of scoring his second hundred inside a week when he led a Rotherfield Park run blitz in the Guy Jewell T20 Cup semi-final against Odiham & Greywell at May's Bounty.
Ruffell who caned the South Wilts attack for 138 last weekend, made 97 out of Rotherfield's 228-5, hitting five sixes and 11 fours, so 74 in boundaries.  
Mark Heffernan (43), Ben Rolfs (34) and Scott Myers (25) chipped in before Seb Newens (4-21) helped dismiss Odiham for 179 (Gary Sharp 31).
Rotherfield Park will play Basingstoke & North Hants in the Guy Jewell Cup final at May's Bounty on August Bank Holiday Monday.

Paultons' long association with Southern Premier League cricket, stretching back 25 years, is dangling by a thread with the club bottom of Division 3 and already 37 points adrift.
Beating Hursley Park on May 31 has been their only win so far and an eighth defeat in nine completed matches came when Hook & Newnham Basics IIs beat them by three wickets.
Paultons were 32-6 before Liam Longland's one-man recovery took them to 201. The teenager hit 83 (13 fours) and with help from Chris Dunn and Peter Lamb saw Paultons past the 200 mark.
To their credit, Paultons reduced Hook to 99-5 before Kieran Thompson (59) and Kit Morris (44) turned the tide.  They still lost seven wickets before Liam Shore and Cam Hall got Hook home.
It didn't help Paultons' cause that Hursley Park and Gosport Borough, the clubs immediately above them, both won.
The Flynn brothers Will (79) and Tom (58) were prominent in Hursley's match winning 213-8 against Alton's IIs, whose 174 all out included a Will Bridger fifty.
Gosport Borough pulled off a four-wicket win over neighbours Fareham & Crofton, with Queenslander Sam Chapman's 57 not out getting them home with three balls to spare.
Cape Town's Craig Jeffery (87) was run out 13 runs short of a second hundred against the Borough this season as Fareham made a 'not quite enough' 224-7.
Out of retirement Mark Toogood made 41, alongside Gavin King (43), Jacob Harris (38) and Jack Richards, 25 not out.
Gosport, in the second relegation spot, remain 24 points behind Hursley Park.

Lead pair Parley and Sparsholt could have the two Southern Premier Division 3 promotion slots tied up in a matter of weeks.
The pair have each won nine times in  row to establish a formidable lead over Odiham & Greywell - Parley leading the runaway 2024 Hampshire League champions by 66 points and Sparsholt by 59.
If their respective winning runs continue unabated, then pencil in August 9 at the Norman Edwards Ground as the potential tier four title decider.
Their original top-table showdown at Parley in early June coincided with the only set Saturday of the season and was washed out.
Parley chased down St Cross Symondians' 188-run target at the Green Jackets to record their ninth win on the spin - Marcus Bragginton shining with bat and ball.
But first Parley had to break a century partnership between the Shipstone's fuelled Ben Foster (64) and Harry Trussler (52) which put St Cross in the driving seat - until Braggington weaved his magic with a 5-38 return. St Cross 138-2 .. 188 all out.
With Parley several players missing, Marcus talked his way into opening the batting - and did  okay, scoring 38 in a steady 70-run start with Sam Collins (41). Kieran Laird (58) effectively put the game to bed with his fourth potential jug buying knock of the summer.  
Sparsholt enjoyed a comfortable 76-run win at third placed Odiham & Greywell with Tom Berzins top scoring with 77 in their 226-8.  Aussie Gary Sharp responded with 76 for O & G, who made 150 against Callum Doran's 4-39.

Sway finally managed to stem a run of low scores with a more than promising total of 246-9, but Fawley still squeezed over the line to seal victory at Jubilee Fields.
Bailey Parratt’s undefeated patient 73 was the backbone of Fawley’s 249-7 victory, leaving Sway anchored to the foot of the SPCL Division Two table. Sway's last win came by one wicket against fellow cellar dwellers Hartley Wintney in end May.
Put into bat first on a damp wicket after losing the toss, Sway openers Matt Young (15) and Alex Hall (15) put together a decent start, with the first loss coming at 36-1, bringing Josh Bailey, home from university for only his first game of the season, to the crease.
His free-scoring half-century was the turning point of the innings for Sway, not least with a more selective Tom Richards (37) in full support.
Skipper Dave Steadman (39), Thor Harradine (39 not out) and Tom Burton (26) all pressed the accelerator.
Although Jon Waller’s away swing claimed three top-order wickets to leave him with bowling figures of 3-44, Fawley batsmen adopted their customary approach.
It was the arrival of Parratt at number five, whose careful but increasingly dominant and eventually unbeaten 78 steered Fawley home.
Other significant contributions were provided by opener Munir (30), Kungandeep Ghurana (25), and Singh (36).

New Milton battled against the odds and almost won it before the final wicket fell as a potential match-winning boundary was caught to hand victory to Southern Premier Division 2 hosts Liphook & Ripsley.
New Milton (164) were on the brink of victory, but as the skipper, Ed Bartlett, struck a potential match-winning shot that would make it four wins in a row for his promotion chasing side, the ball was caught on the boundary by talented teen Oscar Amis for Liphook & Ripsley (168) to snatch it.
“We had two great fightbacks in the game,” said Bartlett. “But in the end, just couldn’t get over the line.
“Personally, I’ve never been in such a tense moment in a game like the last couple of overs were when we were nine wickets down with 30 still to get, especially when we got closer and closer.
“To fall short one shot away was absolutely gutting, especially being caught on the boundary trying to hit a six to win it, but ones, twos and fours were either out of the question or too difficult to play so I had to try to get a six and I knew immediately I didn’t connect.
He added: “In the end, there were two or three times in the game where we were on top and gave wickets away, which was our downfall.”
After winning the toss and choosing to field, the New Milton bowlers played their part, restricting Liphook & Ripsley to 168.

​Besides an impressive 71-run showing from eighth out Rob Nicklin, Seb Brixton (26) was the only other batsman to score 20 runs or higher, so hopes were high for New Milton.
The evergreen New Milton stalwart Lee Beck (3-31) was the player with the most wickets. The others came from South African Thaakier Davids (2-12), Bartlett (1-20), Cam Golding (1-28), and Ed Denham (1-49).
Besides an early loss of James Adams, the visitors somewhat rebuilt their innings and reached 62-3. However, before long, they were looking down the barrel of a defeat at 118-7.
The Green & Golds found themselves needing 30 with one wicket left, but Bartlett (47) was still going strong.
Eventually, the dogged display left New Milton four runs shy of the total. The captain saw the chance to seal victory and swung at the ball. A slight mishit left the effort short on distance, and a grateful teenage Liphook fielder took the catch on the boundary to break New Milton hearts.

A cricketer who made his Test debut this year starred as Portsmouth & Southsea suffered a third loss in four Southern Premier League Division 2 games.
Having been in the promotion places, P & S are now down to fifth after a 120-run caning by Andover at London Road.
The game had started well for the visitors, reducing Andover to 65-4, with two wickets apiece for Jono Willey and Jake Peach.
But wicket-keeper Nyasha Mayavo [left] struck an unbeaten 96 to help the hosts total 221.
Mayayo made his Zimbabwe Test debut in February against Ireland, and as recently as April helped his country beat Bangladesh.
Max Souter (27) helped Mayayo put on 54 for the fifth wicket, with Willey (4-45) the leading P & S wicket-taker.
In reply, P & S were skittled for 101 with another Zimbabwean international very much to the fore.  Skipper John Nyumbu, who has represented in his country in all three formats, including three Tests a decade ago, took 5-29.
Having reached 58-1, P & S dipped to 63-3 when Nyumbu claimed his first wicket, that of Peach. It was 64-5 when Nyumbu [pictured below] struck for a second time, removing Tom Benfield for a duck, and 72-6 when he dismissed Alex Davidson. Teenage opener Felix Stanley (24) was the visitors’ top scorer.

Third tier leaders Langley Manor, now minus former Hampshire all-rounder Sean Ervine who has returned to Zimbabwe, lost for the second week running, by three wickets to Trojans.   But they remain 22 points clear of Calmore Sports, who thumped Hartley Wintney.
Langley made 158-9 (Connor Browne 40) before reducing Trojans to 96-5. Cue Calburt Simon who's 40 won the day.
Skipper Matt Taylor top scored with 63 in Calmore’s 278-8, with openers Will Brewster (49) and Ben Johns (45) also in the runs, while there were 40 extras.  Ben Perry (4-24) ran through the tail as Hartley Wintney were dismissed for 155, to lose by 123 runs.

Fair Oak avenged their opening day defeat in Southern Premier League Division 1 in a thrilling one-wicket triumph over Hook & Newnham Basics at Lapstone Park.
In a contest reduced to 45 overs each by intermittent early rain, Hook reached 76-1 (Tom May 25) before the Fair Oak spinners began to bite.  Sam Reed took 4-40 and Rhys Oxley 2-11 as wickets went down consistently.  Guy Jewell Trophy star Thomas Dyer hit a fine 63 and Rupert Armstrong a rapid 25 not out at the end, but Oaks were able to bowl out their visitors for 178, a little below par, in the 43rd over.
After tea Hook’s opening bowlers, Lewis Watts and Will Wyatt, found the conditions to their liking.  The hosts limped to 50 for 3, 23 of those runs coming from the bat of Henry Nicholls.  Connor Gibson (38) and Dan Wheble (40) then shored up the home innings with a fourth-wicket partnership of 80.  Wheble was out at 130 and Gibson at 144, and suddenly it was all to play for as the Fair Oak tail tried to muster the runs they needed for the win.
It went down to the wire, with Watts taking 3-48 and Wyatt 4-54, but in the end Rhys Oxley [left] made the match-winning contribution.  Making something of a reputation for himself as a finisher he plundered a crucial 17 not out to see Oaks from 157-9 to 179 and a 21-point haul.
