DOUBLE CHAMPS STRUCK SECOND EXIT BLOW

Opening batsman Rob Gibson has followed his captain Ben Walker out of the Havant exit door, though their respective departures from the double ECB Southern Premier League champions are totally unconnected.
Whereas Walker has decided to drop down two tiers and play for Totton & Eling, 24-year old and now city-based Gibson has joined Middlesex Premier League club Richmond.
Gibson, who cut his teeth locally with Hambledon, explained: “I have absolutely loved my time playing for Havant, but unfortunately the practicalities of having to travel down every weekend, combined with the inability to train during the week, has meant that joining a London club was a much more sensible option.”
He will be joined at Old Deer Park by his Durham University team-mate and Basingstoke & North Hants all-rounder Will Phillips, who also works in the City.
Gibson, whose availability for Havant in recent seasons has been affected by university commitments, enjoyed his best season for the SPL champions in 2013 when his 689-run tally included two centuries.
Team-mate Chris Morgan has scotched rumours that he is joining the Havant Park exit party.
He said: “I will very much be donning the maroon cap this year and, given everything, more motivated to win games of cricket than I have been in a long time!”
