SUCCESSFUL NORMANDY LANDING KEY FOR HAVANT'S SEASON

22/6/2018

Havant face a massive weekend of ECB Southern Premier League and national club championship Royal London Cup action.
They host Burridge in a second v third Premier Division joust at Havant Park on Saturday and 24 hours later drive to the Hog’s Back, near Farnham, to play 2017 Surrey Championship winners Normandy in the RL Cup group final.
Havant lie second 11 points behind South Wilts in the SPL log and send a full-strength side into the field against Burridge, who scored their first Time pennant win when they beat Bashley (Rydal) by 55 runs last weekend.
Nick McMurray has been pencilled in for a return to the Burridge attack.
Havant: Stone, Gorvin, Gadd, Morgan, Hopson, Ransley, Burns, Jones, Prentice, Jerry, Hindley.
Havant will look to put last season’s Normandy Nightmare behind them in the Sunday cup tie, the winners of which will progress to the last 16 of the national competition.
Normandy ran up a massive 348-6 in last season’s group final before going on to complete a 155-run victory. Bath put them out in the opening national round.  They lie in mid-table in the Surrey Championship, with two wins.
Back on the SPL scene, leaders South Wilts are without left-hand opener Tom Cowley for the Vice-President’s Day match against the Hampshire Academy at Bemerton, 11am.
Cowley is on groundsman’s duty on the final day of the Hampshire-Yorkshire pink ball County Championship game at the Ageas Bowl and is replaced by off-spinner Rob Franklin.
Skipper James Hibberd, opening batsman Tom Morton (hip) and seam bowler Steve Warner (shoulder) will all play for South Wilts despite picking up injuries in last week’s drawn visit to St Cross Symondians.
With Chris Searle injured, the Academy give a debut to teenage OTs & Romsey left-armer James Trodd.
Salisbury teenager Ben Huntley plays against the South Wilts club, where he plays junior cricket.
South Wilts: Morton, Wade Mynott, Hayward, Draper, Godsal, Hibberd, Evans, Franklin, Warner, Murray.
Academy: Organ, Metzger, Middleton, Scriven, Currie, Albert, Regan, Huntley, Abbas, Reynolds, Trodd.

Opening bowler Dan Goodey [left] plays his farewell Bashley (Rydal) match against Lymington before returning to his home town club Plymouth, but spin all-rounder Patrick Holly is back.
Lymington have won their last two matches and are boosted by the return of lead wicket-taker Matt Metcalfe.
Bashley (Rydal): Digby, Kennet, Taylor, Porter, Jacques, Holly, Wilson, Ridley, Watkins, Goodey, Currie.
An injury to his right wrist looks set to keep David Griffiths out of the Basingstoke & North Hants side to play in the Alton derby at the Jubilee Ground.
Mike Salmon leaps into the Alton team after his four wicket haul for the seconds against Andover II last week.  The Brewers field three sets of brothers.
Alton: MP Heffernan, Marais, A Hammond, Harris, Myers, MJ Heffernan, H Hammond, M Salmon, T Salmon, Scott, Ballinger.
Basement club New Milton, with only 12 points from five defeats, are already into their 21st player of the season and entertain St Cross Symondians at Fernhill.
