Dorset captain Luke Webb in good Bournemouth form [James Robinson]
Luke Webb’s second-wicket partnership with Nick Park put Bournemouth in the box seat and set up a comfortable 85-run win over ECB Southern Premier Division rivals Burridge at Chapel Gate.
The pair added 96 and provided the platform for Bournemouth to post 195-7 and later bowl Burridge out for 110.
Webb, the Dorset captain, has been in good form since he rejoined Bournemouth after a short spell with Chesham, with his unbeaten 74 against Burridge his fourth fifty-plus score of a rain dogged start to the season.
Park made a typically watchful 48, with Webb batting the remainder of the innings after Burridge had broken through at 110-1 – only Jake Hurley (12) reaching double figures after that, though the visitors kept the scoreboard ticking with a plethora of 31 extras, 21 of them leg-side wides.
Ollie Southon (3-31) and Chris Blake (2-26) took five of the seven Bournemouth wickets to fall.
Burridge, minus recent recruits Will Donald and Matt Norris, didn’t have the depth of batting to chase 195 and only Collings-Wells (37) and skipper Hilio de Abreu (21) made any impression as they tumbled from 68-2 (Dan Conway 2-18) to 110 all out.
Once Ed Denham (2-32) broke through, left-arm spinner Robbie Pack (3-14) and Jake Hurley (2-5) ripped through the lower-order to send Burridge to a second defeat in three outings.
