South Wilts made an immediate exit from the ECB Royal London national club championship after losing early wickets to Goatacre and ultimately losing comfortably to the newly promoted West of England Premier Division club.
They never recovered after losing three wickets for only nine runs at Bemerton and were unable to defend a modest 144, which Goatacre polished off with eight overs to spare.
Josh Langley (3-19) did the new-ball damage for Goatacre, who were making their debut in the 40-over a side ECB Championship.
Tom Morton, Tom Cowley and Ben Draper all perished early on, leaving James Hayward (30) and Will Wade (16) with the rebuild task.
Joe Cranch (19), Steve Riddell (13) and Rob Pittman (24) made contributions before Jack Haines (4-19) wrapped up the innings.
Haines (56) was equally prominent with the bat, sharing the batting spoils with Oli Jones (53 not out) as Goatacre cruised to a seven-wicket win. James Wade took two of the three Goatacre wickets.
Havant, normally the most successful of the local sides in the national club championship, trimmed Premier League rivals Burridge by 35 runs at the Park.
Peter Hopson (50), above, and Stu Ransley (33) largely underpinned Havant’s 174-5, skipper Chris Stone hitting an unbeaten 36 after Andy Peck (3-21) had made inroads.
Two strikes by Richard Jerry (2-21) put Burridge on the back foot. Marcus Campopiano (49) kept the challenge afloat, but Burridge were picked off by spin pair Richard Hindley (3-24) and Graham Burns (2-16) and fell short at 139-9.
Overnight thunderstorms and flash flooding led to the postponement of Bashley’s home tie with Portsmouth and the Totton & Eling-Basingstoke & North Hants ties. They along with Ventnor’s clash with Waterlooville will be played this Sunday.
