Pace bowler Ollie Southon, who took 34 Southern Premier League wickets in this summer’s debut season for Burridge, is one of eight new recruits taken on by the Hampshire’s Cricket Academy.
He was fifth in the overall list of Premier Division wicket-takers this summer, having joined Burridge from SPL3 newcomers Fareham & Crofton at the start of the season.
Southon will join fellow U18s George Pardoe and Scott Currie, as well as U17 quartet Fletcha Middleton, Tom South, George Metzger and Sonny Reynolds.
Hampshire’s Head of Player Development, Charlie Freeston has certainly cast his recruitment net far and wide with Wellington College pace bowler Harry Petrie and Hertfordshire-based George Langston joining fellow Bunbury Festival prospects Tom Prest (Canford) and left-arm spin all-rounder Monam Abbas in the Ageas Bowl nursery.
Joshua Lawrenson will fly across from the Channel Islands to link up with the Academy set.
They will be joined by U17 left-arm seam recruit James Trodd, from OTs & Romsey, and U18s Ben Huntley, from South Wilts.
The Hampshire Academy finished third in this summer’s ECB Southern Premier League, claiming 10 victories across both timed and 50-over games from their 16 contests and consistently impressing against the best senior club players in the county.
Batsman Felix Organ’s mammoth 843 runs at an average of 56.20 saw him top the list of run-getters, whilst the Winchester-based youngster also claimed 24 wickets at an average of just 17.38.
He formed a strong partnership with England Under-17 all-rounder Tom Scriven, who also contributed with both bat and ball with 27 wickets at an average of 18.70 to go with 646 runs at an average of 49.69. The pair, who are spending the winter on Queensland’s Gold Coast, have been offered professional contracts for the 2019 season.
Head of Player Development, Charlie Freeston said: “We’re delighted to add eight exciting young cricketers to the Hampshire Academy as part of this year’s intake, alongside George Pardoe, George Metzger, Fletcha, Scott, Tom and Sonny who all return having shown promise throughout this past year.”
“The squad’s winter training programme is already underway and with continued development throughout the off-season and into next summer, we hope 2019 will be another successful year.”
The player pathway system, including the Hampshire Academy, has a strong history of producing talented youngsters that go on to succeed in the professional game, highlighted no more so than eight products of the youth system representing Hampshire throughout their victorious Royal London One-Day Cup campaign this summer.

Local cricket will be saying its farewells to Lt Cdr Tony Izzard RN at the Portchester Crematorium on Thursday 6 December at 1.45pm and afterwards at the Royal Navy rugby club, Burnaby Road, Portsmouth,
Tony Izzard, one of the all-time 'greats' of United Services, Royal Navy and Combined Services cricket, passed away last weekend after a short illness.
A leading all-rounder, who also played soccer for Portsmouth RN and the Royal Navy, Tony was a legend at Burnaby Road, where (alongside his wife Sue) he ran the catering for many years after retiring from the game. Like his brother Mike, he went on to become a hugely respected cricket umpire.
A full tribute will appear here in due course.

Havant’s Harry Gadd, who captained Hampshire Under-17s this summer, played the lead role as an Otago Development side beat Southlands by 100 runs in a 50-over match in New Zealand.
Gadd, who is playing for Queenstown Ballarat (the venue for the ICC Under-19 World Cup last February), hit an unbeaten 82 as Otago posted 256-6 and then weighed in with a 4-20 haul with the ball as Southlands were dismissed for 156.  Gadd had retired Hampshire left-hander Jimmy Adams on his list of victims from the 2018 SPL season.
Calmore Sports left-hander Ben Johns is cashing in with runs for Brighton in Victoria’s South West sub-district competition.
The left-hander followed up two early scores of 35 and 24 with impressive knocks of 76 and 75 for Brighton, an affluent resort which includes Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne amongst its residents.
Up on Queensland’s Gold Coast, Hampshire duo Tom Scriven and Felix Organ took five of the ten Helensvale Pacific Pines wickets as their adopted Broadbeach Robina club successfully defended 189-6 to win by 38 runs.
Organ made 25, but it was Scriven who got amongst the Helensvale top order, his 3-21 spell with the new ball accounting for three of the top five batsmen. Organ later weighed in with 2-40.
Lymington all-rounder Ryan Scott is similarly impressing in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, where he made a half-century in his debut Ringwood & District match for Norwood.
He struck with the ball in this weekend’s match against Chirnside Park, who at 99 without loss, appeared well set to chase down a 185-run target. 
Cue Scott with the ball – his five-over spell yielding a 3-13 return and the scalps of three of the top four opposition batsmen as Chirnside Park tumbled to 141 all out.
Hampshire’s Lewis McManus pouched four catches as Casey South Melbourne piled up 329-9 in the Victoria Premier competition, but was dismissed for 23 as Camberwell Magpies were dismissed for 213 and soundly beaten.
County team-mate Joe Weatherley hopes to join McManus in Melbourne soon, but is currently experiencing visa problems.
South Wilts’ pair Ben Draper and Luke Evans helped Parkdale to a convincing 144-run first innings win over McKinnon in Melbourne’s Southern Bayside Championship.
Draper made 33 in Parkdale’s 268, while Evans took 3-46 as McKinnon fell to 124 all out.

Sibonelo Makhanya was over the moon to be selected by the Cape Town Blitz at the Mzansi Super League Draft and calls PPC Newlands home.
The 22-year-old, who spent the past summer with Basingstoke & North Hants, was picked up in the 12th round by coach Ashwell Prince and joins best friend and house-mate Andile Phehlukwayo in the squad. The Proteas all-rounder was the Cape Town Blitz' first-round pick.
"First of all, I was wishing to get in, and then when I got called for the Cape Town Blitz, I was over the moon. Andile [Phehlukwayo] was the first guy to message me, telling me that we are going to have a great time and it's going to be amazing," Makhanya said.
"It's Cape Town, the people are very friendly and outgoing, there is so much to do and it's just beautiful. It's got this foreign vibe about it and it's almost like a holiday destination.
"For the first time, it is going to be lovely to play with the crowd on my side because they are not the greatest when you are playing against their team. They are very passionate and I am looking forward to fuelling their fire," he added.
The all-rounder, whom Basingstoke would dearly love to have back at May’s Bounty in 2019, is looking forward to playing alongside Proteas Dale Steyn, Quinton de Kock, England International Dawid Malan and West Indian Samuel Badree, while also linking up once again with one of his World Cup-winning SA Under-19 teammates.
"Those are some massive names that one can only learn a wealth of experience from. I'm also looking forward to joining up again with Jason Smith - who I played SA U-19 with, and I think it's going to be loads of fun," he stated.
Cape Town Blitz hosts the Tshwane Spartans at PPC Newlands for the opening match of the Mzansi Super League on November 16.

Four cricketers who spent some of their embryo summers playing in the Southern Premier League, appeared in this weekend’s opening One Day International between Australia and South Africa at the Perth Stadium.
Travis Head (Ventnor), Chris Lynn (Gosport Borough) and Glenn Maxwell (South Wilts) played in an Australia side dismissed for 152 and beaten by six wickets. Heinrich Klaasen, who spent two summers with Purbrook as a teenager, was in the victorious South Africa side.
Lewis McManus bagged four catches behind the stumps playing for Camberwell Magpies as Casey South Melbourne posted 329-9 after day one of their Victorian Premiership match.
Hampshire team-mate Joe Weatherley will shortly be joining Ian Holland and playing for Ringwood, the home club of one-time Havant all-rounder Len Hayes-Rosario.
Hampshire Academy all-rounder Tom Scriven joint top scored and later knocked over both opposition opening batsmen, but was unable to spare Broadbeach Robina from a seven-wicket defeat by Burleigh in Queensland’s Gold Coast League.
Scriven made 37 as Broadbeach, rocked by three early losses including Felix Organ (lbw 5), made 153-8 and then took 2-20 with the new ball.
Bournemouth’s Luke Matthews cracked his second half-century in three knocks for St Peter’s Old Collegians in the Adelaide A1 Premier Turf League.
He made 52 on debut against Walkersville, 48 versus Payneham and made 56 in the current match against Goodwood.  St Peter’s made 225 and have Goodwood 26-3 overnight.
Also wintering in South Australia is New Milton’s Raff Hussey, who has joined the Darren Lehmann Academy and is assigned to Port Adelaide, who had Jason Roy, Sam Billings and Harry Came on their books in recent times.
South Wilts pair Ben Draper (33) and Luke Evans (21) helped Parkdale score 268 against McKinnon in the Southern Bayside Championship in Victoria.

Hampshire are considering a return to staging county matches at Basingstoke and also playing at Newclose on the Isle of Wight in 2019, according to a report in the November edition of The Cricketer magazine.
ICC World Cup matches taking place at the Ageas Bowl next summer means Hampshire having to seek alternative venues for some of their County Championship games.
Reverting to playing on out-grounds will delight traditional cricket lovers, particularly those in North Hampshire, who have not been able to watch county matches at May’s Bounty since 2010.
A Championship match, starting on Monday May 20, has been provisionally earmarked for Newclose following positive transportation discussions with the Red Funnel ferry group. The attractive ground on the southern outskirts of Newport was completed in 2009 and used each summer since by Hampshire 2nd XI and the MCC YCs.

South Wilts’ pace bowling talent Luke Evans has been named ECB Southern Premier League Young Cricketer of the Year.
The 21-year old right-armer took 38 Premier Division wickets for the Bemerton club this summer - plus another 29 playing Minor Counties cricket for Wiltshire – and, in total, captured 100 wickets all forms of competitive action.   He was runner-up to Harry Came, the St Cross Symondians’ batsman, in 2017.
Commenting on Evans’ award, South Wilts’ director of cricket Tom Morton said: “Luke has experienced a lot of success with his bowling in the last 18 months.
“He has worked hard within the Southampton Solent University cricket programme over a four-year period and his skill-set and confidence has grown immensely.
“Not only did he perform well in the Premier League, he was also very successful in Minor County cricket and played numerous county second team fixtures, including taking five wickets for Middlesex late in the season.”
When he returns from a winter playing alongside South Wilts’ team-mate Ben Draper for the Melbourne club Parkdale, Evans will need just seven more wickets to complete a century of Southern Premier League wickets.
Evans is the 38th winner of the Young Cricketer award, introduced in 1981 in memory of Waterlooville’s John Millett.  He is the third South Wilts player to win the award after Tom Morton (2005) and James Hayward the following year.

Basingstoke & North Hants all-rounder Sibonelo Makhanya has notched his third half-century of the season in South Africa’s provincial cricket.  He made 85 in Dolphins’ opening four-match match against Titans and struck an unbeaten 54 against Warriors at Kingsmead.  The 53 he made in Dolphins’ second innings in the current match against the Cape Cobras at Newlands took the former SA Under-19 captain past 1,500 runs in provincial cricket.

Luke Matthews, who missed Bournemouth's Southern Premier League Division One championship triumph because of a badly broken finger, made a half-century on debut for St Peter's Old Collegiate in the Adelaide Turf A1 Premier Grade.
The Exeter University captain made 54, but in a losing cause as his side lost by 41 runs to Walkersville (180).
Hampshire Academy pair Felix Organ and Tom Scriven are wintering on Queensland's Gold Coast and playing for Broadbeach Robina.  Organ took 3-25 on debut against Surfer's Paradise, with both Academy batsmen making five with the bat.
Portsmouth's Isle of Wight based left-hander Ben Duggan celebrated his Murdoch University debut in the WACA Suburban Turf League with a match winning 75, while Calmore's Ben Johns hit an unbeaten 76 as Brighton waltzed to an eight-wicket win over Elsternwick in the Victorian Sub-District competition. He struck a six and nine fours.
South Wilts' seamer Luke Evans took his first two wickets on Australian soil, but Melbourne club Parkdale lost to Caufield. Ben Draper hit 18.

Only sixteen !  Remember these three promising South Wilts cricketers from a 'few' years back ? Jamie Glasson (left), Russell Rowe (centre) and Stephen Elcock (right) will be among a host of Bemerton Babes attending a glittering, sell-out South Wilts colts reunion dinner in Salisbury this evening.
Pictured in their youthful prime, Glasson, Rowe and Elcock were at Hampshire's old County Ground attending a young cricketers' training session sponsored by the then British Gas Southern League.
Former South Wilts colts supremo Stephen Hatcher has organised this evening's dinner over recent months and predicts an evening full of nostalgic memories.

Harry Foyle has been named as St Cross Symondians’ Young Cricketer of the Year.
The all-rounder played a lead role in Symondians’ Southern Premier League title triumph this summer.
He scored 310 runs and took 29 wickets, enjoying one outstanding individual performance against New Milton, hitting a blistering 89 (with his side 80-4) and later taking 4-23.
New Hampshire signing Harry Came took the St Cross batting award, his 764-run tally including three centuries.
Steve Mitchell took the bowling prize with 30 wickets, while leading Premier Division 2 wicket taker Matt Perry-Lewis was named top Second XI bowler.

Managed Migration in Club Cricket – End of season update
 
As part of their continuing correspondence with clubs on the subject of Managed Migration, the ECB is able to advise of the latest position.
During the summer, as in recent years, the ECB conducted an audit of players in Premier and other Leagues across the country.
The ECB is pleased to report that, through the efforts of many of you, cricket has been able to demonstrate a reduction in the amount of players that have breached the Home Office policy. Thanks to everyone that made this reduction possible. Clubs that appeared to breach the policy have been advised.
In September, members of ECB Public Policy and Regulation Team met the Home Office to discuss any planned changes to policy for the 2019 season. At present, nothing has been agreed in terms of policy and as a result, the criteria remains unaltered.
As a reminder, the payment of a players’ airfare and/or use of an agent to promote the availability of players in the higher levels of cricket is likely to increase the prospect of the Home Office considering the player to be a professional and, as a consequence, the risk of the player being deemed ineligible.
The Home Office definitions of a Professional sportsperson are:-
An “Amateur” is a person who engages in a sport or creative activity solely for personal enjoyment and who is not seeking to derive a living from the activity. This also includes a person playing or coaching in a charity game.
A “Professional Sportsperson”, is someone, whether paid or unpaid, who :
is providing services as a sportsperson, playing or coaching in any capacity, at a professional or semi-professional level of sport; or
being a person who currently derives, who has in the past derived or who the Secretary of State has reason to believe is seeking in the future to derive, a living from playing or coaching, is providing services as a sportsperson or coach at any level of sport, unless they are doing so as an “Amateur” in a charity game.
In the definitions of “Amateur” and “Professional Sportsperson”, “derive a living”, “paid” or similar references include payments made in kind.
The Governing Body Endorsement criteria for the player/coach or coach only for the 2019 season is now on line and found at www.ecb.co.uk/governance/regulations/governing-body-endorsement
ECB and the Home Office are continuing to work collaboratively with other sports on revising current Policy and Guidance for implementation for the 2019 cricket season and currently we are on track for being able to share more precise details by end of 2018.

* Any other news of SPL cricketers playing Down Under would be welcomed.

Long standing supporters of Southern Cricket League presentation functions  will be saddened to hear news of the passing of broadcaster, impressionist and after dinner speaker supreme Peter Brackley, aged 67.
Cutting his teeth on the dinner circuit in the mid-1980s, he first appeared solo, but on return visits to Southampton worked alongside long standing sporting colleagues Ian Darke, Gary Richardson and Mike Osman, forever having his audience rocking in the aisles with his sharp wit and brilliant impressions.
He will be remembered as having one of the most recognisable voices on radio and television.  He did his media training at Highbury College in Cosham (Portsmouth) and before he became a household name in broadcasting worked as a red coat at Butlin’s Holiday Camp in Bognor Regis.
He was a hugely talented, knowledgeable, outrageously funny, his knowledge of soccer unsurpassed.
Peter Brackley began his career on the radio with BBC Radio Brighton in the 1970s, before making the switch to television and taking up a role with ITV, where he began covering some of the biggest football events, including the 1984 European Championships, the 1986 European Cup Final between Steaua Bucharest and Barcelona, along with the 1986 FIFA World Cup finals.
A lifelong Brighton & Hove Albion fan, he continued to work at the biggest football events after moving over to BSkyB in the late 1980s, and covered the 1990 FIFA World Cup for then BSkyB-owned channel Eurosport.
He then took arguably the role for which he is best known, when he began commentating on Channel 4’s brand new Football Italia show throughout the 1990s, working alongside the likes of the late Ray Wilkins, James Richardson and Luther Blissett.
The legendary broadcaster returned to ITV, which coincided with his work for Channel 4, and he featured at another four World Cups between 1994 and 2006, as well as the 1996 and 2000 European Championships.
Throughout the 1990s he featured on the Saint and Greavsie TV show and, a great impressionist, he often provided voice for the satirical current affairs show Spitting Image.
His last local ‘on stage’ appearances came at Mayflower Theatre in Southampton and the King’s Theatre, Southsea, where he wrote and produced shows on Saints and Pompey, which provided him with the platform to demonstrate both his acting and comic abilities on memorable evenings in front of many hundred soccer fans.
Soccer and broadcasting has lost one of its greats with the passing on Sunday of Peter Brackley.

Hythe & Dibden can start planning to host Southern Premier League cricket at Jones Lane next summer after being told their promotion as Hampshire League champions is being recommended for approval.
The Waterside club must wait until next month’s Premier League annual meeting before confirmation can be given.
But the SPL’s accreditation team is understood to be recommending to the AGM that, subject to a few ground enhancements such as providing double sightscreens, a score-box and a clock, Hythe’s promotion to play in Division 3 cricket in 2019 should go ahead.
Hythe were naturally elated with the news that their ground facilities and junior set-up has got the Premier League’s approval.
“It’s the icing on the cake of a superb season for the club, who in 2012 were playing Hampshire League County Division 3 cricket, having been relegated the previous year,” beamed long serving club stalwart Steve Chiverton.
“We’ve achieved five promotions in the past six seasons and with our second team winning County Division 4 West this summer, it’s been a year to remember for the club.”
But winning the championship was a close run affair for Hythe & Dibden, who only pipped Parley to the title by a solitary point.
Opener Tom Gates led the way with 683 runs, while Andy Wakely took 30 wickets in addition to scoring 424 runs.

David Wakefield, New Milton’s overseas player in 2016 and 2017, is in the USA team competing in the West Indies Super 50 Regional Tournament in Barbados.
He made his USA debut in Saturday’s 59-run defeat by the Combined Campuses & Colleges team, captained by six-hitting World Cup winner Carlos Braithwaite, who cracked a quick-fire 69.
Wakefield, batting four, was dismissed for six as the USA was dismissed for 162, chasing the CCC total of 221-9.   He hopes to retain his place for Monday’s match against Jamaica at the Kensington Oval, which is being screened live on BTSport 3, from 3 o’clock.

Stand by for the announcement of the 2018 Southern Premier League Teams of the Year - the XIs chosen to represent each of the four SPL divisions, plus an Under-21 team picked from across all four divisions.
Just like the Pools Panel (do they still exist ?), the selectors are spending the weekend in a 'safe house' and will announce their chosen teams during the course of the week commencing October 8.

Alton’s Julian Ballinger won the ECB Southern Premier Division bowling award for a third time (he was also leading wicket taker in 2006 and 2015) with a 46-wicket haul for the Brewers, which lifted his overall aggregate to within comfortable striking distance of a 400-wicket milestone.
He took three five-wicket Time Pennant hauls in the space of four weeks in mid-summer now has  385 wickets in Premier Division cricket and an overall tally of 571 in all divisions.
Hampshire Academy captain Felix Organ topped the Premier Division batting charts with an 843-run haul, which included 119 against Alton and seven other scores of 50 or more, while second placed Tom Morton has to make do with the consolation prize of finishing the season as top gloveman, with 26 victims.

Teenager Liphook & Ripsley left-arm medium-pace bowler Jack Campbell has signed a professional cricket with Durham.
The 19-year old, who was educated at Churcher’s College in Petersfield, penned a deal shortly after helping Durham win the county Second XI Championship title.
The lanky left-armer played Hampshire League cricket at Steep, before representing Hampshire Under-17s for two seasons, also opening the bowling for the Hampshire Academy before being released.
He played four times for Liphook at the start of this past season before moving to the north-east, where he joined Chester-Le-Street, taking 14 wickets and as the club finished runners up to South Northumberland in the powerful ECB North East Premier League.
Campbell made his debut for England Under-19s in a Youth One Day International against South Africa in July and has subsequently been awarded a Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship to pursue Sports Science studies at Durham University.
