Not since Bournemouth beat Jason Roy’s Reigate Priory and Cuckney in the Derby final of 2009 has a local Southern Premier League club enjoyed even a hint of success in the ECB’s T20 Club Championship.
Bashley (Rydal), Havant and South Wilts have all had a crack – and failed - at ending the barren seven-year losing drought.
Today (Sunday) at Kent’s Beckenham HSB out-ground (1pm), Havant get another chance to break the mould, but playing Surrey T20 champions Wimbledon in the second regional semi-final will be a daunting task.
If they do win though – and they’ll be without experienced spin all-rounder Richard Hindley and Chris Stone – they will play either Horsham or Tunbridge Wells in the zone final.
Josh McCoy has been drafted into the Havant side, which reads: Walker, Ransley, Gorvin, Taylor, Hopson, McCoy, Bulled, Prentice, Morgan, Matthews, Jerry.
