Hook & Newnham Basics will face Ventnor in the national Village Cup county final at the KGV on Sunday week, June 4 after a nervous two-wicket semi-final win over Hambledon.
It looked as though Hook would cruise past Hambledon’s 223-4 when Harry Warner (81) shared a century opening stand with Tom May (49) then put on 87 with Matt Buckingham (55) but, after reaching 193-2, the innings imploded with five wickets falling for 18 runs.
But from an uneasy 211-7, Hook scrambled across the line, spinner Jonty Oliver taking 3-60.
Hambledon’s total was built around George Marshall (77), who enjoyed partnerships with brother James (22) and Oliver (23) before Henry Glanfield hit an enterprising 49 not out, including two huge sixes.
Ventnor have reached the Hampshire final without playing a single match, all three of their scheduled opponents conceding ties instead of travelling to the Isle of Wight.
