2000 SEASON REWIND: IT'S A RAINY BANK HOLIDAY

Neil Cunningham hit an unbeaten 73 for Burridge in a losing cause at BAT Sports. The News.
It’s Spring Bank holiday weekend and, right on cue, it pours with rain. Only two of the scheduled 19 Southern Premier League fixtures survive – BAT Sports and OTs & Romsey emerge victorious – while all nine Division 3 matches are washed out.
BAT’s three-wicket win over Burridge at Southern Gardens is far from straightforward as the visitors fight valiantly to defend a modest 137-9, Neil Cunningham (pictured) holding the innings together with an unbeaten 74 while Dan Goldstraw (3-21) and Chris Thomason (3-28) make inroads. Then Paul Jenkins (3-36) roughs up BAT’s top order and it needs the calming influence of Ian Atkins (41), aided by Mark Page, to get the hosts across the line.

An undefeated half-century by Keith Trodd is the key to OTs & Romsey’s six wicket victory over visiting Trojans, a match that sees two of the original members of the old Southern League back in 1969 (and decades beyond that) lock horns.   Trojans post 146-4 (Tim Subnaik 57 and Simon Williams a gritty 31) before Trodd (53*) guided OTs home after early work by Charles Forward (38).
