Southern Electric Premier Division clubs enjoyed their first taste of all-day ‘time’ cricket, with Andover, BAT Sports, Havant and Hungerford emerging victorious in run chases. The match between Bashley (Rydal) and Bournemouth ended in a high scoring draw.
Overseas duo Kennedy Otieno [left above], the Kenya opening batsman, and teenage West Australian Luke Ronchi [right] marked the occasion with undefeated hundreds.
Otieno chalked up his second century, hitting an unbeaten 114 as BAT Sports chased down South Wilts’ 175-9 Jamie Glasson 90*) to win by seven wickets, while Ronchi struck 109 not out as Bashley (Rydal) built on a solid start by Andy Sexton (83) and Neil Thurgood (59) to post 286-4 against Bournemouth at the BCG, where the visitors made 221-6 in reply, Dave Kidner hitting 86 and Mike Stonier 52.
Luke Sears (71*) and Paul Gover (52*) shared an unbroken century partnership as Havant comfortably overhauled Cove’s 179-7 (Ian Crompton 61), Richard Lewis taking 4-35.
Paul Hawkins, inventor of the Hawk-Eye ball tracking technology, showed he knew thing or two about batting by top scoring for Burridge in a losing cause against Andover. The former Buckinghamshire batsman made 95 before being run out at the end of Burridge’s 197-9 – a total Andover overhauled with Jeremy Hayward (57) and Tim Keighley (42) to the fore.
Former Chichester Priory Park batsman Jez Goode made 64* and Martin Kellaway 45 as Calmore Sports were dismissed for 215 (David Pryke 5-40). Hungerford won by four wickets, with Steve Wyatt (45*) improving the starts made by Jim Etteridge (39), Duncan Johnson (37) and Toby Radford (32).
