New Milton were on the wrong end of a galling 16-run defeat against Premier Division rivals Alton at the Jubilee Ground
The Brewers posted 200-8, with skipper Scott Myers, pictured, holding the innings together with 84 – until the last six went down for 40 runs, with George Watts, James Haggaty and Nick Gargaro claimed two wickets apiece.
In response, Green & Golds opener Tom Arnold carried his bat for an excellent 80 not out but little support was forthcoming in the top and middle orders.
Teenage tailenders Raff Hussey (23) and Campbell Golding (12) ensured the match went to the wire but, ultimately, the visitors fell short, with South African Sean Jamieson (4-42) and Myers (3-11) doing the damage.
