The end of the season can’t come soon enough for Bashley (Rydal), whose 43-run defeat by Lymington was their fifth in a row.
Having won the Limited Overs and Time pennants in each of the two previous seasons, Bashley had high hopes of challenging in the ECB Southern Premier Division this summer.
Instead, they look set to finish in fourth from bottom place, with their tally of nine defeats from 17 matches only surpassed by relegated neighbours New Milton.
They have used a staggering 25 players this summer and the side that lost to Lymington contained only four of the team that began the summer with such high hopes, including the evergreen Kevin Nash, who has been coaxed out of retirement.
Third teamer Adrian Hunt was Lymington’s improbable bowling hero, taking 5-33 as Bashley were dismissed for 170, having been set to pass 213-9 posted by their hosts.
But earlier it was teenage wicketkeeper Harry Fisher, with a timely 53, and Kieran Moors, with a more brutal 46 not out, who hauled Lymington out of the mire of 110-7 (Henry Edwards 25), the tail almost doubling the total.
Josh Procter (2-37) struck two early blows for Lymington, but another young gloveman, Patrick Lewis (56) and Michael Porter (23) retrieved the situation and at  128-3 Bashley were in a good place.
Enter occasional 37-year old spin bowler Adrian Hunt, a Lymington clubman through and through, who proceeded to wreck Bashley’s top order by whipping out the next five batsmen, including Porter, Josh Digby and top scorer Lewis.
Bashley sank, losing their last seven batsmen for 42 runs and were 170 all out. Queenslander James Grady (2-14) taking two of the last three wickets.
