Teenager William Wade broke off his A-level revision to hit a maiden ECB British Gas Southern Premier League century to set up South Wilts’ 49-run win over Lymington at Bemerton.
Wade carried hit bat for 103 – more than he made in the entire 2016 season when he managed to scrape together only 77 runs all summer !
“It was a very mature innings for someone of his age. It allowed us to bat around him and post a decent score, which was probably 20 above par on a pitch where the ball didn’t really come on to the bat,” praised South Wilts skipper James Hibberd.
“Scoring a century will do William a power of good.  He’s obviously focussed with pending A-level examinations, so getting a score like this will hopefully give him a lift in other directions.”
South Wilts lost Eddie Abel, leg before wicket to Matt Metcalfe (3-28), but Wade found timely support from Ian Holland (23) and then James Hayward (46) before Jack Mynott hit a quick fire 28 to lift the total to 241-9.
Directly Lymington dropped to 23-3, it was effectively game over.  Richard Lock (54) and Dom Hand (42) rallied but with emerging spinner Mynott taking 4-33, Lymington eventually slipped to 192 all out.
