SOUTHON SPEEDSTER SINKS SOUTH WILTS

Fareham teenager Ollie Southon blew the ECB Southern Premier League leadership race wide open with a fiery five-wicket new-ball spell which wrecked the South Wilts top order and laid the path for a Burridge victory at Botley Road.
The red head bowled with pace and vigour, making life uncomfortable for the visiting batsmen – his 5-20 return leading to South Wilts being dismissed for 118 and handsomely beaten by seven wickets.
Burridge therefore repeated the victory (by 25 runs) they pulled off at Bemerton on the opening day of the season and, after ten rounds of matches, are only ten points behind South Wilts in the four-team battle at the top.
Southon always bowled with pace in his recent Fareham & Crofton days, but often lacked accuracy.
However, since catching the eye of Hampshire’s James Tomlinson, he has moved on, some remodelling of his action and personal hard work significantly improving his game.
Making life uncomfortable for the batsmen, Southon took five of the first six wickets to fall as South Wilts sank to 34-6 and but for James Hibberd’s gallant 43, supported by Joe Weld (22), would have sunk below 100.
Nick McMurray (3-35) finished South Wilts off before Burridge raced to a seven-wicket victory in 15 overs.
Joe Collings-Wells blasted 11 fours in his 49 not out, while Richard Lock cleared the boundary rope once beside scoring seven other fours in his unbeaten 44.
