Bashley Rydal’s lead over Lymington at the top of the ECB Southern Premier Division has been cut to 11 points following the Hampshire Academy’s seven-wicket win at the BCG.
Teenager Tom Prest’s 103 (his second century in recent weeks) set the Academy on the victory path, while man-of-the-moment Arthur Godsal cracked a century as South Wilts heightened Basingstoke’s relegation fears with a 124-run win at May’s Bounty.
Former Clevedon batsman Max Curtis made a hundred for St Cross Symondians, while Cape Town’s Hilio De Abreu took 5-72 and scored 57 but was unable to spare Burridge a heavy defeat at Alton.
Matt Metcalfe celebrated another five-wicket haul as Lymington ramped up the pressure at the top with a six-wicket win over lowly Bournemouth.
