SOUTH WILTS LAST LOCAL CLUB LEFT IN ECB CHAMPIONSHIP

24/5/2022

South Wilts are the sole remaining Southern Premier League in the ECB Royal London national club championship after the first round exits of Havant, Hook & Newnham Basics and St Cross Symondians.
Havant were knocked out by High Wycombe, Hook & Newnham exited after a brave fight at Richmond, while St Cross Symondians gave powerful Bridgwater a massive scare at the Green Jackets.   South Wilts host WEPL giants Potterne in the second round at Bemerton this Sunday, 1pm.
Openers Teddie Casteton (97) and Eliot Callis, with four sixes and ten fours in his no nonsense 75, set the tone for High Wycombe with a century start. They closed 267-6 before reducing Havant to 113-8. Richard Jerry (46) and Freddie Gadd (21) rallied as Havant finished 201 all out.
Josh Buckingham (57) hit a battling half-century at the top of the innings as Hook made 134 - recent Middlesex Premier Division champions Richmond losing seven wickets before they got home.
Bridgwater piled up 227-7 (Charlie Gwynn 3-20) but got a nasty shock as teen duo Wilf Fontaine-Jackson (74) and Ben Foster (67) sent the ​St Cross response racing to 142-1. Alas, the last nine St Cross wickets fell for 57 and the side to 199 all out.
