Bradfield School's Andrew MacEwen led the way with 76 as the Hampshire Academy posted 166-4 before dismissing Somerset for 117 in the Guernsey Cornerstone Tournament.
He hit two sixes and eight fours, sharing a 77-run start with Andover's Sam Ashman (21) before enjoying another useful partnership with Finn Gordon (36). Sam Davis, Freddie Gillett and Manny Lumsden took two wickets each.
But the Academy's bright start ended with a 51-run defeat by a far more experienced Guernsey Board side, who defended 125-9. Davis, Lumsden and Eddie Jack took two wickets each before the Hampshire youngsters crashed to 74 all out, Kai Highman taking 4-5 and Charlie Forshaw boosting his prospects of some Southern Premier League cricket this summer with 3-16. Guernsey then beat Somerset by six wickets.
Hampshire play Guernsey in a 50-over match at the KGV Field, St Peter Port on Saturday, 1100.
