A proud moment for Newbury teenager Toby Albert as he celebrates his maiden Premier League century in Basingstoke & North Hants IIs win over Tichborne Park : Dave Vokes captures the moment.
Tichborne Park must beat Totton & Eling on Saturday to avoid the very real prospect of being relegated in the Southern Premier League for a second consecutive season.
Third from bottom, Tichborne go into the game with a slender six-point lead over Totton – their own situation having worsened by a hefty 103-run defeat at Basingstoke & North Hants.
Teenager Toby Albert was Basingstoke’s batting hero, hitting a maiden 101 (11 fours) as his side piled up 258-8 (Scott Dyer 42) at May’s Bounty.
Graham Porter (4-34) had Tichborne rocking at 50-4 (Tom Allam 31), but once his new-ball spell was completed, Queenslander Ryan Brooks (59) and Jake Bristow (33) rallied with an 81-run stand.
But when the unpredictable Joe Oates (4-10) got hold of the ball, Tichborne crumbled from 131-4 to 155 all out, the last six wickets falling for 24 runs and TP to 155 all out.
