Jacob Harris underlined the importance of proper match preparation.
Hambledon’s 100 per cent leadership of Southern Premier Division 3 is over after a five-wicket defeat by Gosport Borough at Privett Park
They still lead the field by 19 points but, promoted from the Hampshire League in 2019, Borough are now only two points adrift of second-placed Hook & Newnham Basics II with both those sides having won six of their eight completed matches.
Hambledon skipper Spencer Le Clerq soon lost opening partner Dan McGovern (2), but the in-form Henry Glanfield (46) helped his captain add 86 for the second wicket before he was dismissed by the spin of Goodwood-bound Jack Richards (4-22).
The Cardiff University student immediately removed Chris Pratt (0) and Hambledon had lost three wickets for one run when Le Clercq (32) was caught off the bowling of Charlie Pennicott. Another collapse saw the table-toppers fall from 106-4 to 110-8 before closing on 145-9.
McGovern (2-42) was central when Gosport were reduced to 59-4, but any nerves were settled by a 50-run stand for the fifth wicket between Charlie Creal (31) and Emma’s backed Jacob Harris, who underlined the significance of match PPP.
Former Royal Navy batsman Mark Toogood (18 not out) then helped Harris (37 not out) add an unbroken 37 for the sixth wicket as the hosts won in the 34th over.
