With 162 points, New Milton are almost out of the mire – a four-wicket win from a low scoring affair at Rowledge effectively confirming their stay in Southern Premier League Division One for 2020.
Rowledge lost their first three batsmen for ducks and at 67-4 four more for just two runs – the entire ship sinking for a meagre 90 (Ricky Yates 32), with George Watts [pictured](3-13), Matt Baker (3-22) and Ryan Beck (2-12) doing the damage.
Sixteen wickets fell in all during the match and New Milton lost six batsmen chiseling off the target, five of them after being 52-1 (Campbell Goulding 20), little wicketkeeper Luke Mortimore carrying his bat for 14 off 81 balls. His knock was important.
There’s little respite for Ventnor, who lost three wickets for only two runs before being bowled out for 104 by Sarisbury Athletic at Steephill.
Martin Blackman (31) and Mark Price (28) lifted the score to 70 before seven wickets fell for another 34 runs, Jason Allmark taking 4-11. Josh Hill (42) and Sam Floyd (26) eased Sarisbury into the Steephill bar very early …
