Dan Wimble has been on song for Fareham & Crofton, who have warmed up positively for the upcoming Hampshire League season with consecutive wins over promoted Southern Premier League Division 3 opposition.
He thumped an unbeaten boundary strewn century to set up a 59-run victory over 2019 County 1 runners-up Hook & Newnham Basics II and followed it up with 72 as Fareham chased down Gosport Borough’s 227-7 to win by four wickets.
Wimble [pictured above] struck six maximums along with 11 fours in his undefeated 103 against Hook, sharing a 179-run opening stand with Tom Kent (61) as Fareham piled up 254-4 before dismissing Hook for 195 (Rhodes Franklin 72), James Headen taking 4-49.
Fareham’s openers partied again against Gosport, Kent scoring 76 and Wimble 72 as a 151-run stand got the Bath Lane side on course to topple Borough’s 227-7 (Denzel James 92).
Fareham were cruising at 209-2, but lost four wickets for five runs before Sam Stoddart’s 35 not out got them across the line.
