Lymington suffered a 50-run home defeat by Fareham & Crofton, who boast a very healthy points per match average, even though through rain and covid call-offs they are no where near playing half their scheduled number of games.
Dan Wheble, with 32 and a 4-36 return with the ball, had a decent game for Fareham, who comfortably defended 191 (Tom Kent 44) by bowling Lymington out for 141, Jack Morris (38) and Tom Sykes (30) doing their best for the losers.
