LIGHT BLUES BUTCHERED AS JOE TAKES CAREER-BEST 7-27

Southampton Solent University pace bowler Joe Butcher took a stunning career-best 7-27 as Cambridge MCCU were skittled for a meagre 65 and thrashed by eight wickets by a Team Solent side that has now won four of its five British Universities Championship matches and is on course for the semi-finals.
The Abingdon Vale third year student grabbed the first seven wickets as the Light Blues lurched to 40-7 in only 18 overs before creeping up to 65 - a target Solent polished off with comparative ease, with Richard Locke (20) and Michael Porter (19) completing the formalities.
Solent have now beaten the MCCU sides from Cambridge, Cardiff and Durham this season, alongside Exeter University. Only Bradford/Leeds have beaten Team Solent, who visit BUCS favourites Loughborough on Tuesday.

Joe Butcher has terrorised class batting lineups in Oxfordshire for some time now. Academies / Counties should take note and move swiftly. Alternatively a smart university would be wise to contact him with regards to supported MSc in sports related subject to secure his talent for a year or two. Wise investment will pay dividends
