BREWERS FACE LORD'S CHAMPIONS IN DIVISION ONE OPENER

24/12/2021

Relegated Alton face potentially the toughest possible test with an away match against National Village Cup winners Calmore Sports in the opening round of Southern Premier Division 1 fixtures on May 7 2022.
Calmore ruled the roost in cup ties at Loperwood Park this summer on the way to lifting the coveted trophy at Lord’s in September.
Traditional red ball cricket will continue to be played in Division 1 next season, a bid to introduce a ‘white ball’ element in the game for half the programme having narrowly failed to get sufficient votes at last month’s SPL AGM.
Sparsholt, who strongly opposed the plan, launch their SPL1 challenge with a tasty visit from old foes Portsmouth at the Norman Edwards Ground, while Ripsley Park hosts the Liphook & Ripsley-Rowledge derby.  Promoted Ventnor go to New Milton, while Basingstoke & North Hants host Sarisbury Athletic at Mary’s Bounty.
Hambledon, who dominated Division 3 cricket this summer, face a stern SPL2 baptism when Fair Oak come to Ridge Meadow.  There are three derby matches at Fawley, who receive Bashley (Rydal) II, Hook & Newnham Basics II (Hartley Wintney), and OTs & Romsey (relegated Andover).  Waterlooville go to St Cross Symondians.
Hampshire League runners-up Sway make their Premier 3 debuts at Gosport Borough, with county winners Havant II hosting Portsmouth & Southsea.  Langley Manor, Paultons and Purbroook all begin at home.
