A five-wicket new-ball spell by James Hibberd left Lymington reeling at 27-5 and set up an easy win for South Wilts on a seam bowler friendly Sports Ground surface.
The South Wilts skipper tore into Lymington’s paper thin top order, clean bowling openers Ben Rogers and Dom Hand before having Aussie James Grady caught behind.
Ryan Scott and captain Simon Beetham quickly followed as Lymington found themselves five down inside the first hour’s play.
“It was typical Hibby wicket-to-wicket bowling, nipping the ball about off a damp surface and generally causing mayhem,” said South Wilts team-mate James Hayward.
Matt Metcalfe’s unbeaten 27, aided for a while by island pair Ben Attrill and Josh Procter, kept South Wilts at bay, but a three-wicket burst by Luke Evans (3-19) reduced the hosts to 70-9 before Kieran Moors biffed a quick fire 15 at the end.
It took South Wilts just 13.2 overs to knock off Lymington’s 91 –left-hander Tom Cowley (42) hitting seven fours in a punchy 42.  Tom Morton remained unbeaten with 45, including a six and six boundaries.
“It was a much better all-round performance than against Alton the previous week. We bowled well and held our catches,” Hayward added.
