Purbrook’s top score during their innings against fellow strugglers Tichborne Park was 30 extras.
But they still collected a second consecutive Southern Premier Division 3 victory - after starting the season with six straight losses - to move out of the two-team relegation zone.
Martin Lee, the previous week’s centurion against Hythe & Dibden, top scored with the bat (21) as Purbrook progressed to 43-1. A clatter of wickets saw them crumble to 75-8 before Aaron Dean (22 not out) and James Gurney (13) helped add 45 for the last two wickets.
Park’s reply followed a similar pattern. They had reached 49-1 (George Ayling 27) in reply, only to see six wickets crash for 17 runs to Dean (3-9 off eight overs) and Lee (3-13).
Kieron Connell (14) and Matt Bristow (12) added 28 for the eighth wicket before the latter was dismissed by Josh McCoy (3-29).
Tichborne Park, who haven’t won since beating Trojans on the opening day of the season, were dismissed for 94 in the 32nd over.
Second-from-bottom Hythe & Dibden have also only one once and lie one point below Purbrook. They were washed out against Basingstoke & North Hants II, having made 48-2 when the rains came in the 12th over.
