HIGH DRAMA AS ANDOVER SNATCH PREMIER 1 TITLE

3/9/2016

0 Comments

 
As predicted, the band of heavy rain sweeping in from the Atlantic and along the English Channel all but devastated the final round of Southern Premier League matches - but it didn't prevent Andover and Langley Manor from snaring their respective divisional titles.
Arguably third favourites at the start of play, Andover took full advantage of overnight leaders Hook & Newnham Basics (v Basingstoke & North Hants) and Bournemouth (v Sarisbury Athletic) having their matches washed out in mid-afternoon to skittle Portsmouth for 93 and romp to an eight-wicket win just before the rain lashed down on Southsea seafront.   They took the title by 0.02 points on average.
Similarly, Jamie Brown (5-24) and Luke Mooney (5-35) routed Basingstoke & North Hants II for 60 in 15.1 overs and galloped to victory in the ninth over. 
Havant and Calmore Sports are Premier and SPL2 winners, respectively, while Paultons' bizarre win at Hambledon means relegation for Bashley (Rydal) II and Fawley.
