Seventeen points separate the top five teams in Hampshire League County Division 1 after an amazing sequence of results which saw the leading three sides crash to defeat.
The race for the title and potential promotion into the Southern Premier League for the top two took a significant twist as –
  • overnight leaders Fareham & Crofton were shot out for 138 and beaten by eight wickets by Hursley Park;
  • lowly Bishop’s Waltham upset the apple cart by beating second placed Hythe & Dibden; and
  • Ropley were smashed for a massive 305-5 and resoundingly beaten by Andover seconds, who had lost eight of their previous ten games.
Fareham & Crofton paraded transfer deadline day signing Steve Berryman (St Cross Symondians) at The Quarters.
He was among five top-order batsmen to make double figures before Fareham collapsed to 138 all out, losing their last six wickets for 33 runs, Scott Hills taking 3-13.
Paul Marks hit an accomplished 60 to see Hursley Park home and into a threatening fourth place.
To add to Fareham’s woe, Australian James Heiniger injured his forearm sliding into a sightscreen and was unable to field. He expects to be fit for the Hythe & Dibden showdown on Saturday.
Sam Medhurst was the star of Bishop’s Waltham’s surprise 25-run win on Waterside, top scoring with 75 before taking 3-47.
Medhurst and Phil Baldock (51) guided Bishop’s to 268 all out – a total Hythe & Dibden were unable to match, despite Tom Gates (63), Matt Howe (46) and Tom Richards (41).
Andover’s crushing 192-run win over Ropley was unquestionably the shock result of the season, so far.
Cardiff University economics student Harri Williams, pictured, went on a number crunching spree, hitting three sixes and 19 fours in a stunning 152 not out at London Road.
Babu Veetil (88) gave support as Andover piled up 305-5 before shooting Ropley out for 113.
Longparish and Parley are in the top six after wins – Michael Taplin (57) and Dan Bearpark (39) putting on 116 for the first wicket before Jack Levy (40) saw them to 262-7 against winless US Portsmouth.
John Brazier (55) dug in for US, but Sam Trinder (6-27), pictured above, and Chris Clarke (3-31) took wickets as the other end as the visitors subsided to 117 all out and a 145-run defeat.
Alex Nippard and Sam Ayres each made 44 as Parley posted 234 (Stu Shapland 5-38) at OTs & Romsey before bowling their hosts out for 168 (Ian Woodall 78). Dave Elrick and Spencer Savage shared six of the wickets.
Easton & Martyr Worthy and Ryde both posted 300-plus totals, while Archie Ayling, teenager son of former Hampshire all-rounder Jon Ayling, took 5-22 for Burridge II against Hook & Newnham Basics, who were shot out for 98.
Suman Shreshtra (101) and Matt Giumelli (96) got two-thirds of EMW’s runs. Hosts St Cross Symondians were dismissed for 112, Brad Hole taking 3-14.
Julian Jayerajah (66), Cam Mitchell (60) and Ben Gregory (43) led Ryde to 303-9 against visiting Alton II, who came back with 257-5, Dave Evans (75) and Alex Hughes (59) both unbeaten.
