HOOK and Newnham Basics continue to reign supreme in Southern Premier League Division One, their 67-run win over New Milton at Fernhill establishing a 37-point lead over Portsmouth with five matches to go.
Put into bat, Hook lost teenager Harry Robson early, but fellow opener Daniel Moore (50) continued his fine form and added 103 with Richard Willcock (51).
When Oliver Wilmore, with an SPL best 5-52, snapped up his third wicket Hook were 130-4, but Josh Buckingham (41) joined Kieran Thomson (26) and the pair moved the score to just shy of 200, before the skipper became Wilmore’s fourth victim.  Thomson followed a run later, as Toby Edwards (3-37) picked up some late wickets as Hook were all out for 229.
New Milton’s reply suffered the early set back with the dismissals of both Steve Watts and Sparsholt centurion Campbell Golding, as Jack Murrell (3-28) took two of his three wickets in the game.
Opener Edwards (64) and Matthew Freeman (21) restored some of the early damage, but Edwards was the first of four wickets for Anik Divecha (4-33). In typical fashion, Edwards hit 54 of his runs in boundaries, one six and 12 fours.  New Milton fell from 101-3 to 162 all out.
Australian Fraser Hay led the way as Portsmouth remained in Hook’s sights at the top, with an eight-wicket win over Ventnor, who suffered a 13th successive defeat.
The Melville all-rounder took 5-54 before hitting a quick-fire 50 as Portsmouth breezed past Ventnor’s 84 all out inside 13 overs.
Ventnor’s side at St Helen’s contained only five SPL regulars and only Rob Snell (52) put up any resistance after Hay had ripped through Ventnor’s top five. Portsmouth Grammar School captain Joe Kooner-Evans nipped in with 3-17.
Ventnor were all out inside 23 overs and beaten well before man-of-the-match Fraser Hay’s mum Jan had got her award winning jam scones out of the oven …
