High drama as a Sarisbury Athletic batsman is run out in a desperate attempt to beat Bournemouth in a frantic late run chase. Dave Vokes pictures.
Sarisbury Athletic went down all guns blazing in their bid to prise the Hampshire Under-19 T20 Cup away from Fair Oak, the eventual winners.
They had to beat Bournemouth’s total of 80-8 inside 12 overs to pip Fair Oak on run rate after the Tri-club final ended all square with each team winning one of its games at New Milton’s Fernhill ground.
Led by Fareham & Crofton guest Ollie Southon (30) and Max Hoile (20) they gave it a terrific go, but with Robbie Pack and James March getting amongst the wickets, Sarisbury eventually reached their target in 13.1 overs, a tad too late to deny Fair Oak the bounty.
A top order batting collapse led to Fair Oak losing their opening match against Bournemouth, but they bounced back to post a key 112-6 against Sarisbury – a total which was to prove key in their eventual success.
Hampshire Under-15 duo Fletcha Middleton (43) and Max Watson (37) top scored for Oaks, who rolled Sarisbury out for 62 to win by 50 runs.
