Cameron Grierson’s second unbeaten century of the season swept Paultons to a crucial five-wicket Division 2 relegation zone win over Totton & Eling at Southern Gardens.
The former Lymington cricketer hit an unbeaten 111 as Paultons’ chased down Totton’s 197-7 to lift themselves out of the immediate danger zone.
Grierson, who made 100 not out at Trojans last month, struck 11 fours and a six, holding Paultons together as four team-mates went cheaply at the other end.
The outcome was in the balance with Paultons wobbling at 70-4, but Grierson’s 120-run partnership with Simon Ennew (41) took the visitors to the brink of an important win.
Earlier, Zimbabwean Gary Chirmuuta (78) top scored in Totton’s 197-7, Peter Lamb taking 3-33.
