SOUTH WILTS MARCH ON - BUT BASHLEY MAKE IT TIGHT

South Wilts continue to sweep all before them in the ECB Southern Electric Premier Division – Bashley (Rydal) being the latest side to be brushed aside.
But the New Forest club, who were eventually beaten by 40 runs, didn’t go down without a fight, despite twice being in the Bemerton mire.
Cashing a seventh successive win, South Wilts were in the ascendency from the off, with Eddie Abel (52) and Tom Morton (59) putting on 115 for the first wicket.
But after Jake Lilley and Kevin Nash had been blasted out of the attack in just seven overs, spinners Sam Thomson and South Australia prospect Tom Andrews turned the tide.
Dorset’s Thomson (6-81) and Andrews (4-72) bowled all but seven of the 62.1 overs faced by South Wilts as they were dismissed for 211, their last six wickets falling for the addition of just 38.
Fifth-wicket pair Ryan Duffield (33) and Joe Cranch (25) temporarily halted the slide.
Although the Bashley reply faltered at 65-5 with Porter (31) showing early resistance, Tom Jacques (58) and Josh Digby (34) put on 83 for the sixth wicket to take them to 148-6.
But after off-spinner Rob Franklin (4-43) had removed Digby to break the partnership and Jacques had been seen off by James Hibberd, Bashley came up short at 171.
South Wilts are 16 points clear of second placed Havant in their quest for a unique fourth straight title.
