There’s nothing like a sporting reunion to stir the memories, so when seven long retired South Hants Touring Club players from the Sixties and Seventies met up at St Helen’s, Southsea, this week there were plenty of wonderful “do you remember ?” cricket stories to catch up on.
Left-hand opening batsman Ian Preston-Jones, now based in the New Forest and whose grandchildren play for Sway, captained South Hants TC for many years.
Keith Maslen, Barry Stares and Derek Wootton were all top order second team batsmen, while Nigel Pollinger opened the bowling.  Terry Lewis was one of the best wicketkeepers in the area, while all-rounder Arthur Shaw is now Portsmouth CC’s president.

HAMPSHIRE 50s snapped at Devizes in July 2001, a season in which they won all six south-west group matches only to bow out in the ECB County Championship quarter-finals for the second consecutive season.
John Harris (118) scored one of his two centuries against Wiltshire - Mike Swain (41) also made his mark - who fell six runs short of Hampshire's 219-8.  Stan Rudder took 2-17 off nine overs, six of the runs he conceded being wides.  Hampshire lost to an Andy Meads inspired Sussex in the quarter-finals.

NEW MILTON, INAUGURAL HAMPSHIRE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS '73

2/4/2021

Picture
David 'Butch' White, the former Hampshire and England fast bowler, took a staggering 51 wickets and was the main thrust towards NEW MILTON becoming the inaugural Hampshire League champions in 1973.
There were no bowling limitations in those embryo days and White took full advantage by sending down 186 overs in New Milton's 13 unbeaten matches, 64 of which were maidens. Paul Broomfield and Pete Watts picked up the crumbs off White plate and took 36 of the other wickets to fall.  Bill Paramore (447), John Wolfe (287) and Tony Wharton, with an enterprising 249-run haul, scored the bulk of the runs.
The late John Wallace, whose 509-run aggregate included the only CD1 century (125*) of the season, was the leading overall run scorer, while Keith Darnton made 437 for Follands.  Teammate Mike Turner picked up 44 wickets, three more than Richard McIlwaine (who made four County Championship appearances for Hampshire) with 41.  There were only 14 teams in each division in those days, the HL containing two county divisions (Lymington won CD2) and four regionals won by Alton Town, Crofton, Kingsclere, and Old Portmuthians, respectively.
