SARISBURY ATHLETIC LOOK TO REGAIN INDOOR TITLE

23/9/2016

Sarisbury Athletic chase a third Hampshire indoor sixes title in four years in Sunday’s (September 25) county championship finals at the Ageas Bowl.
But they must beat surprise packages Longparish and Hook & Newnham Basics if they are to qualify for another tilt at the ECB title which they won at Lord’s two years ago.
Sunday's winners will represent Hampshire in the national sixes which begin next February.
Sarisbury Athletic avenged last season’s cup final defeat by Havant by beating the newly crowned Southern Premier League champions by four wickets in the qualifying round, Peter Hammond taking 3-21 as Havant were dismissed for 107 (Harry Gadd 27).
Longparish sprang a major surprise by knocking out Waterlooville, bowling tidily, conceding only three sets of wides and  pegging the Ville to 113-4 (Alex Shephard 26*).
They chased down the target to win by four wickets with two overs to spare, with Matt Jackman (26 retired) and teenager Scott Sturt (21) guiding Longparish home.
Hook & Newnham Basics, winners in 2011, overwhelmed neighbours Basingstoke & North Hants, restricting the Bountymen to 115-5 (Ash Neal 31 not out) and breezing to a six-wicket win with Matt Buckingham, Ben Thane, Harry Warner and Jordan Hobday all undefeated.
Sunday's Hampshire Cup fixtures: 6.30: Longparish v Sarisbury Athletic, 7.45 : Hook & Newnham Basics v Longparish, 8.45: Hook & Newnham Basics v Sarisbury Athletic.  Umpires Huw Evans and Paul Sparshott.
