Portsmouth, leaders just a few weeks ago, have slipped to fourth bottom spot in Southern Premier Division One after losing by three wickets at home to Calmore Sports.
With captain and lead run-scorer Ben Duggan lapping up his favourite band Madness at the Isle of Wight Festival, Jack Marston took on the Portsmouth captaincy duties at St Helens. But he saw his side bowled out for 145.
Former Fareham & Crofton batter Dan Wimble (31) and Marston (29) were the top scorers, while Oxford Blue Ben Fisher and spinner Ben Perry both returned 3-28.
Portsmouth hit back with the ball, and would have fancied their chances still when Calmore fell to 119-7 (Ben Johns 52), Rakshith Rao taking 2-20 off his 10 overs).
But Perry (13 not out) and Mitchell Parker (12 not out) held their nerve to guide the 2021 national Village Cup winners to victory in the 47th over. Portsmouth News
