GREAT SCOTT ! LYMINGTON ARE PREMIER TOP DOGS

16/6/2017

Lymington took full advantage of defeats by Bashley (Rydal) and South Wilts to sweep to the top of the ECB British Gas Southern Premier Division with a five-wicket win over newly promoted Andover.
They began the sixth round of matches in third place, but a resounding victory at London Road has given them a four-point lead at the top.
Having dismissed Andover for 240, Lymington raced to a third straight win with Ryan Scott, Ben Rogers and Malcolm Lake peppering the boundary.
Lake (3-68) did the initial damage, reducing Andover to 26-3 before Sri Lanka Under-23 international all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne blasted a quick-fire 57 and with Combined Services batsman Sherwin Govender (35) add almost a century for the fourth wicket.
Simon Beetham (2-18) nipped out both batsmen in quick succession to leave Harry Blackburn (35), Matt Hooper (23) and Babu Veetil (26) with the responsibility of posting a competitive total.
But a 240-run target posted little threat to Lymington, especially when Lake (65) and Ben Rogers (62) began with a 128-run opening stand.
The pair were dismissed within ten runs of each other, but Ryan Scott's unbeaten 73, which contained 12 fours, carried them to victory - and top place on the log.
