Portsmouth’s first competitive game with Burridge since 2011 ended with a tense two-wicket last-over loss in the first round of the Southern League Cup at sun kissed St Helens.
The higher-division visitors triumphed on Southsea seafront when, chasing 190 for victory, they hit the winning runs off the penultimate ball of their 40-over allocation, writes Simon Carter.
Portsmouth had earlier been bowled out for 189 in the Premier/Division 1 East group match, losing their last wicket to the penultimate ball of their innings.
Their day started badly when opener Tom Wallis was dismissed for a duck off Dan Stancliffe’s fourth delivery.
But fellow opener Ben Duggan and Will Smitherman both hit 40 – the Isle of Wight based left-hander off only 44 balls – and Jack Marston hit 26 before he was bowled by visiting skipper Hilio De Abreu.
There were also 27 extras, including 14 wides.  Sully White (3-38) was Burridge’s leading bowler, 
Portsmouth Grammar School educated Joe Collings-Wells, pictured, hit an 87-ball 80 for Burridge, including 12 fours and a six.
Next highest score was recorded by James Hughes, the former Locks Heath player who was making his competitive debut for Burridge.  He struck 39 but the visitors still had work to do when he was out at 172-6.  Burridge quickly subsided to 179-8 but ninth wicket pair Jack Paskins and Millfield’s Francis Moore  kept their nerve.     Portsmouth News.
