Old Tauntonians & Romsey
Standing (from left): Liam Poolman, Rhys Wathen, Joseph Vaughan, Nicholas Newman, Jordan Ponting, Tom George. Seated: Harry Tulk, Matt Bampton, Charlie King, Daniel Collins, Rob Newman.
Old Tauntonians & Romsey continue to lie second in Southern Premier Division 2 after a sixth successive win, beating Hook & Newnham Basics II by six wickets at the Romsey Sports Centre.
They took charge from the off against Hook, with Jordan Ponting taking a wicket with his second ball and the visitors being reduced to 12-2 soon after when left-armer Matt Bampton (1-24) trapped Matt Love leg before wicket.
Charlie Neville (42) proved the mainstay for Hook, but Kevin Light (20) was the only batsman to provide much support as the OTR spin attack took wicket at regular intervals, leggie Joe Vaughan returning 3-37 and Harry Tulk 2-27.
Hook lost three wickets in the 90s but posted 163 due to Jack Murrell (28) and Rupes Armstrong (22), Rob Newman dismissing both batsmen.
Although they lost three wickets for 17 runs after openers Vaughan (27) and Liam Poolman (24) had put on 57, OTs always looked relatively comfortable in the run chase, though Hook’s own spinner, teenager Will Gardner (4-23) made inroads on four occasions before Charlie King (42)mand Rhys Wathen (37) got them across the line.
