Sam Pittman maiden century : Roy Honeybone
Sam Pittman celebrated his maiden South Wilts century - but his 101 against Southern Premier Division 3 leaders Fawley came too late to save the club's second team from an 86-run defeat.
The SPL3 leaders dominated from the outset with Kieron Earl (82) and Sufian Munir (78) opening powerfully and both Andy Parratt and Aussie Connor Gibson hitting fifties.
Responding to Fawley's formidable 329-4, South Wilts were reeling at 44-5 when Pittman arrived at the crease.
Undeterred, Pittman cleared the ropes four times alongside hitting 15 fours in a career-best knock. With Nick Partridge (34) and Jasper Blackwood (32) in support, South Wilts posted a tidy 243.
South Wilts' immediate SPL future goes on the line shortly with Fareham & Crofton and Havant II visiting Wilton Road.
