Cole Campbell cracked a run-a-ball 71 and Academy pace bowler Sonny Reynolds took 5-22 as Hampshire’s youngsters kept their hopes of ECB Under-17 County 50-over Cup qualification hopes alive with a crushing 101-run defeat of previously undefeated Somerset at Totton & Eling’s Southern Gardens.
Birthday boy Campbell (pictured) struck two sixes and hit nine fours in an enterprising 71, sharing a 119-run partnership with George Metzger (42).
Alton’s Abhay Gonella (65), Mo Abbas (26) and Ollie Southon, with a quick fire 33 not out, kept the pot boiling as  Hampshire posted a competitive 287-7 off 50 overs.
Somerset, who had won al three of their lead up games, were back in the game after Lewis Goldsworthy (60) and Chris Reed (51) took their reply to 95-2.
But the pacey Reynolds (5-22) ripped through the Somerset middle-order, the visitors tumbling to 186 all out, left-arm spinner Abbas taking 2-41.
Hampshire must now win their final group match against Devon at Seaton on Sunday week, June 24 to nudge Somerset off top spot in the group.
