Jason Laney recaptured some of his old Hampshire form to crack a run-a-ball 80 and lead St Cross Symondians seconds to a maiden Southern Premier Division 2 victory.
He led from the front as St Cross chased down a Hartley Wintney score of 261-7 at the Green Jackets to win by five wickets with 17 balls to spare.
Laney hit three sixes and 11 fours in his 80 and dominated a 112-run opening partnership with Steven Hirst (40) before Matt Swann (38) enhanced things further.
The evergreen Graham Barrett (42) used his experience and with Dylan Clarke making 32 not out St Cross got home, despite the attentions of Ryan Bone (3-34).
Earlier, Hartley Wintney batted strongly at the top of the order with Charlie Puddifant (57) and Hugo Hammond (52) hitting fifties, alongside Jonny Kerr (43) and Bone (37), but with Laney in such good form their 261-7 was blown away.
The win has lifted St Cross Symondians off the foot of the Division 2 table - Fawley are now bottom - 20 points behind Bashley (Rydal) II, who lie eighth.
