​Hampshire League leaders Odiham & Greywell have teed up a Guy Jewell T20 Cup semi-final date with holders Basingstoke & North Hants at May's Bounty next Tuesday evening (July 30) at 5.30pm.
They have won all eight HL Division 1 matches and currently enjoy a healthy lead over defending champions Ferndown Wayfarers, who they play in the final match of the season on August 31.
Odiham ran up a hefty 205-4 against Andover, with Kyran Munt (89) and Gareth Sharp (59) top scoring.  Andover made 110-7 in reply.
Hook & Newnham Basics play Rotherfield Park in a much postponed tie at the Bounty this/Tuesday evening.

​Basingstoke & North Hants opening pair Callum Coombs (left) and Laurence Benge, right, shared a double-century partnership before the Hampshire League Division 1 match against Ryde was abandoned through rain.
​Coombs hit 128 and Benge 103 in a 211-run partnership as Basingstoke posted a massive 291-4.  Ryde were 20-0 when rain halted play.
Coombs's hundred has earned a Southern Premier League call-up against Alton at the Bounty on Saturday, 11am.  A fortnight ago he was playing for the thirds !.

Sparsholt seamer Rob Foy produced staggering bowling figures of nine wickets for 18 runs against Hampshire League Division 4 North rivals East Woodhay - all of them clean bowled !
The dead-eyed Lancastrian rattled through the East Woodhay batting, taking the first nine wickets to fall. 
He was denied all ten wickets as he finished his nine-over stint before the Berkshire side was all out for 51. Seven batsmen bagged ducks.
Ironically, whilst they were career-best figures, it wasn't the first time Foy had taken nine wickets in an innings. He did it previously in his home town, Preston.
Sparsholt earlier hit 258-8 with Josh Stanbrook-Tompkins making 64. They won by 207 runs.

​Tom Morton added another century to his increasingly large collection as Sarisbury Athletic maintained the pressure on Portsmouth at the top of the Southern Premier League’s second tier.
The record breaking former South Wilts opener struck 102 off 132 balls as Sarisbury posted 250-6 off 50 overs against Rowledge, who made a rain trimmed 136-9 in reply.
It was Morton’s fifth SPL century for Sarisbury in 16 innings, and his third in nine outings in 2024.  Those hundreds go alongside the 29 he plundered in 16 run-filled seasons with Salisbury-based South Wilts.
And there were also four centuries scored across two seasons playing for Ealing in the Middlesex County League, one of which took the west London club to the championship.
Morton’s latest ton followed his 109 against Rowledge on the opening day of this season. 
He was just five runs short of sharing a 200-run opening stand with Fremantle's Kaiden Cookson (76) when he was dismissed by 18-year old Loughborough University biology student Ollie Ryman (5-46), refreshed after holiday in Nigel Farage's Clacton.
Rowledge were set a rain revised target of 203 from 33 overs, but never looked like getting near it once Archie Pascoe (3-21) had helped reduce them from 43-0 to 49-5. Ollie Baker (30) and Ryman (25) top scored as Rowledge finished  on 136-9 to lose by 68 runs.
Sarisbury’s seventh win in nine completed games has given them a points-per-match average of 18.11 - but Portsmouth, whose game at OTs & Romsey was rained off, still lead on 19.44. The top two meet at Allotment Road on July 27.
Four Portsmouth first teamers ensured their Saturday wasn't rain wasted by turning out in a Hampshire League match against Hythe & Dibden.  Harry Gadd made 174 of Portsmouth's 368-3.   ​The News

Teenager Will Welsh celebrated a career-best return of 7-46 with the ball and later top scored for South Wilts III in the 79-run defeat by unbeaten Hampshire League Division 3 North leaders Basingstoke & North Hants.
The talented Millfield all-rounder, who also plays off scratch at golf, took four wickets in his final over as Basingstoke were dismissed for 232.
Welsh (37) then shared a half-century opening stand with fellow teen Adam Cutler (26) before the young South Wilts side slipped to 157 all out.
Millfield's Director of Cricket Mark Garaway explained: "Will's in our 2nd tier team, who bats in the top four, bowls a bit and catches pigeons.  
"His catching prowess earned him a call up into the Meyer’s XI during the recent cup run which took the side to Lords for the National Final. Will took four magnificent catches in the final four matches of the competition. 
"I really like his bowling action, very fluid and we have been giving him more and more overs in the second half of the season, so it’s great to hear that he has taken that confidence into his club cricket."

​Hythe & Dibden copped a 368-run blast from a strengthened Portsmouth side when they visited Southsea seafront for a one-sided Hampshire League Division 1 match.
Their match at OTs & Romsey cancelled, Portsmouth loaded four of their table topping Southern Premier Division 1 team into their seconds, with Harry Gadd, the former Havant skipper, hitting 174.
Dan Wimble hit 73, Sujeeth Danni 31and Hampshire U18 spinner Charlie Collins 59.
First team opening bowler Joe Kooner-Evans took two wickets as Hythe were dismissed for 98 to lose by 270 runs.
