South African spin all-rounder Craig Jeffery celebrated his appointment as Fareham & Crofton's new captain with a birthday half-century for Cape Town against WPCA Premier Division title chasing Western Province at the Wally Wilson Oval.
Jeffery, who is returning for a third season at Bath Lane in April and will wear the captain's armband for the first time at Gosport Borough's Privett Park on May 4, top scored with 58 as Cape Town made 207-8 - a target Western Province chased down to win by four wickets. Jeffery scored a season's best 69 against Claremont before Christmas.
Cape Town, whose ranks include Burridge pair Hilio De Abreu and Mat Goles, are battling relegation in the WPCA League despite an outstanding win at Claremont in their previous match.
Claremont raised Matt De Villiers, who made 1234 runs for Southern Premier League Division 3 winners Hambledon in 2022, is joining Sussex Premier League club Horsham this summer.
