Marcus Lewis, Bashed 57 [Terry Nash] Fair Oak tightened their grip on the Southern Premier League Division 3 leadership and correspondingly weakened Lymington IIs position at the bottom with an emphatic six-wicket win.
A 124-run opening partnership between Max Watson (65) and Will Hughes (52) effectively ended any faint hopes Lymington had of defending a modest 184-7 at the Sports Ground.
Syed Agha, with a six and 14 fours in his 92, and teenager Josh Royan, with a maiden SPL 50, were the only Lymington batsmen to make double figures.
Marcus Lewis, pictured, answered a late call-up from Bashley’s fourth team to make his first Premier League half-century in the 97-run win over struggling Havant II.
He made 57 and alongside Tom O’Sullivan (43) and veteran Graham Pardey (36) saw Bashley post a formidable 266-8 before bowling Havant out for 169.
South Wilts II spin pair Jack Stearman (4-14) and Joe Weld (4-20) sent Purbrook crashing from 82-2 (Clark Harding 35) to 123 all out and a 99-run defeat on The Heath.
Teenager Stearman earlier made 42 and along with Tom Berzins (38) and Rob Pittman (53) guided South Wilts to 212 all out.
Rhidian Chapman’s 5-16 return saw Gosport dismissed for 87 and beaten by nine wickets by Hambledon, for whom Will Bond made 40 not out.
