ROUSE BLITZ SENDS VILLE TO MEET THEIR WATERLOO

Waterlooville’s hopes of victory against Liphook & Ripsley at Ripsley Park disappeared amid a flurry of boundaries from Grant Rouse.
The hosts were 72-4 when Rouse walked to the crease in the Southern Premier League Division 2 fixture. He proceeded to hit five sixes and four fours in racing to 70 off 48 balls.
Rouse was eventually bowled by Ville skipper Archie Reynolds, who with 2-63 off eight overs had come in for more punishment than any other bowler.  That innings helped Liphook recover from 125-6 to post 204-7 off their 40 overs.
Ville’s rain-revised target was set at 165 from 29 overs, but their reply began badly when Reynolds was dismissed for a single.  Other top six batsmen - Namish Verma (6), Sonny Reynolds (9), Jon Hudson (4) and Dan Birch (1) - also failed to hang around long as Ville plummeted to 54-6 (Sean Burton 3-24).
Tim Jackson (32 not out) and Sam Robinson (31) added 48 for the seventh wicket but Ville could only manage 123-8 to lose by 41 runs.
Zimbabwean Bothwell Chapugu hit a run-a-ball 82 to sweep Old Tauntonians & Romsey to a six-wicket victory over Fawley at Holbury, making them the only side so far to have won its opening two  Premier Division 2 matches.
They were asked to chase down a target score of 163 in 37 overs – Fawley’s total of 176-7 having been trimmed due to a rain break – but did so with 17 balls to spare.
Despite the evergreen Wayne Smith chipping away with 4-28, Chapugu piloted OTs forward, hitting 11 boundaries, though there was a wobble when he himself was dismissed when three wickets fell for six runs.
Rob Newman (23) and Joe Vaughan did get OTs across the line with plenty of time to spare.
Fawley’s total had been built around Callum Earl (35), Nisarg Vyas (33) and Usman Ali (30) with Lewis Allen and Matt Bampton bowling tidy spells for the visitors.
