Dan Goodey (88) gave Lymington a Bash [Les Chase Photography Lymington]
Bashley (Rydal) tied their ECB Southern Premier League curtain raiser with Lyminton on May 7 - Brad Currie being stumped off the last ball having made a maiden half-century in the 245-runs each New Forest derby.
There was no such drama when the return fixture was played, with Dan Goodey prominent as Bashley posted a towering 325-9 before dismissing Lymington for 166 to win by a thumping 159 runs.
Ironically, Bashley began poorly with Ben Francis bowled by Kiwi James Hartshorn, who went on to take 5-51, and then skipper Josh Digby being flat footed in a run out which left him short of his ground and the visitors being 33-2.
That didn’t make good reading as Bashley were without Jacob Gordon, Michael Porter and Tom Friend, arguably their leading run getters.
Instead, teenager Will Tripcony (56), with a patient and disciplined maiden half-century, and Saif Achakzai (67), in a more attacking innings that included 11 fours and one six, took the game away from Lymington with a 116-run stand.
They were out within one run of each other either side of lunch, leaving Dan Goodey to take centre stage and inflict devasting damage on a weakened Lymington attack. He blazed three sixes and 12 fours in a 62-ball 88. Support from Phil Morris (23), James Trodd (23) and Patrick Lewis (21) saw Bashley to 325-9.
Lymington never looked like getting close to the Bashley total as although most batters managed at least to play themselves without going ton to make any real impression. Dan Goodey (2-35) and Ben Fletcher (3-32) got early wickets dismissing both Lymington openers Terry Crabb (12) and Ben Rogers (7) with only 35 on the board. Ryan Scott (27) looked in good nick until he was out to Parley raised Jo Huns (1-16).
Fresh from his Varsity Match century for Oxford University, Josh Royan (21) also looked good for a while, as did Kamran Dhariwhal (20), who became the first of three victims for Digby (3-39). Dan Cox (36) went on to become Lymington’s top run scorer in a score ofn166 all out.
