Justin Behrens Hambledon spin all-rounder Justin Behrens took 4-54 to help bowl WPCC to a narrow 11-run win over Cape Town and maintain the club's unbeaten joint lead in the Western Province CA Premier League.
Behrens, leading wicket taker in Hambledon's Southern Premier Division 2 triumph this past summer, hit useful 24 before WPCC defended 189 all out.
Past Burridge cricketer Hilio D'Abreu top scored with 43 for Cape Town but, like Fareham & Crofton's Craig Jeffrey, was a first ball victim of Behrens. Cape Town closed 176-8.
It was Jeffery's second first baller in three weeks, either side of an unbeaten half-century against Brackenfell.
Hambledon's Chris Pratt made 38* for WPCC's second team.
Across in Western Australia, Hampshire's Toby Albert made 75 of Joondalup's 285 against an unfamiliar looking Melville outfit, now minus head coach Paul Terry and Portsmouth's Fraser Hay, who has switched to South Perth. Wimborne teen talent Joe Kelly got a first baller for Melville, who have Lymington's hockey playing Kieron Moors aboard.
South Wilts' Jack Mynott took 3-60 and Sarisbury Athletic import Kaiden Cookson 4-69 as Fremantle toiled as Rockingham Mandurah made 311.
