Seamer Shafeh Asmat and Aussie leg spinner Lachlan Roughley shared eight wickets as Hartley Wintney thumped neighbours Hook & Newnham Basics seconds to end the round 3 programme joint top of Southern Premier Division 2.
Their respective four wicket hauls – Asmat, with 4-28, hit the Hook top order and Roughley, in a miserly ten-over spell of 4-12, the lower order – as the visitors collapsed to 79-8 before mounting a late rearguard action.
Scott Dyer, Hook’s expensive winter signing from May’s Bounty, hit back with a defiant 50 and shared a last-wicket stand of 54 with James Dovey (14 not out) as Basics rallied to post 149.
Hartley Wintney went on to win by seven wickets, Hugo Hammond (56) and Roy Cockram (55) hitting half-centuries after Oli May had struck twice for Hook.
Fair Oak got their Southern League Division 2 campaign under way at the third time of asking, but never recovered from a poor start against OTs & Romsey at Lapstone Park and finished up on the wrong end of a four-wicket defeat.
Oaks dipped from 39-0 to 48-4 against Vikram Dawson (3-28) and miserly left-armer Matt Bampton (2-15).  They then rallied, but with Joe Vaughan taking 2-25 it was left to lower-order duo Matt White (26* and Ben Smith (20), to give Fair Oak a competitive total of 137-9. 
OTs & Romsey started sluggishly, too, with spinners Lewis Goodyear (2-19) and Monty McKenzie (2-29) keeping the brakes on.  At one stage the visitors were in trouble at 85-6, but opener Charlie King refused to be budged.  Rob Newman shrugged a finger injury and  broke the shackles with the match’s top score, 37 not out off 31 balls, and steered his side to victory at 141-6 with nearly five overs to spare.  King carried his bat for an unbeaten ten.
Joseph Mitchell took four wickets on his delayed SPL debut as Waterlooville defeated Liphook & Ripsley at Rowlands Avenue. After their first two league fixtures of the season were cancelled due to bad weather, Ville won by 22 runs.
Mitchell - who skippered the University of Sussex in 2022 as well as playing club cricket for Belhus in the Essex League - bagged 4-30 as Liphook, asked to chase 158 for victory, were dismissed for 135.
Introduced into the attack as first change, Mitchell struck twice early as Liphook collapsed from 30-0 to 33-4. Sam Hillman (3-49) was second-highest wicket-taker.
Having been put in, Ville had slumped to 36-3 with Kiwi Josh McGregor - back for a second season with the club - third out for a duck.
Jon Hudson (34) and No 6 Alex Shephard (33) were the highest scorers with the bat, while 30 extras (24 wides) were crucial in the final reckoning.
