Havant seconds took an emphatic step towards being crowned Hampshire League Division 1 champions - without even playing their penultimate match !
Their scheduled home match with Longparish was called off late on Saturday morning, enabling them to maintain a healthy 21 points per match average which none of their challengers will be able to match if Havant win their final match at Easton & Martyr Worthy.
Parley's five-wicket defeat by Sway has kept the promotion door ajar for Fareham & Crofton, who could snatch an unlikely second place if they score a big win at St Cross Symondians III.
Fareham have been worse hit than Havant II in terms of cancellations. Havant were weather hit seven times; Fareham also on seven occasions, with two more games called off due to covid issues in the opposition camp.
Nine 'no resuts' in a 17 match summer represents over half the scheduled matches - and a serious loss of income.
Fareham vent their frustrations on Burridge II, Dan Wimble (pictured above) smashing 93 as the Bath Lane club chased down 169-8 (Jack Paskins 56) to win by eight wickets.
Sarang Urankar hit a century as Bournemouth II posted 219-7 (Freddie Oldfield 44) against Compton & Chandler's Ford, who fell from 95-2 to 175-7 once Ethan Sharpe (51) and Liam Palmer (47) wer parted.
Jonny Coombs also looked set for a treble figure score, but was dismissed for 27, agonisingly 73 runs short of a century.
Nicky Wyatt (48) and Ish Ahmad (47) came close to fifties in Portsmouth's 187-9, which proved too many for Easton & Martyr Worthy (153 all out).
Tom Doherty's 5-20 return put Hursley Park in the driving seat against St Cross Symondians (139), but the outcome was in the balance as HP slipped to 62-5. Jai Solanki (30) and Oli Green (27) restored parity.
Lymington lurched closer to relegation with a four-wicket defeat by Old Basing. They looked set for the drop alongside already demoted Andover II.
