 Tom Jacques 123 for Bashley (Rydal) : Pictures by Terry Nash. |  Richard Hindley's 102* was a Havant match winner. |
m Jacques celebrated his maiden ECB Southern Premier Division century, but his Bashley (Rydal) team-mates had little else to celebrate as the New Forest club slumped to a sixth successive defeat, losing by eight wickets to Havant.
He was upstaged as Richard Hindley scored his first hundred in eight years (since May 2011), making a match winning 102 not out for the displaced champions. The previous week he became the first Premier Division cricketer to reach 500 wickets.
Havant’s Richard Jerry, who finished with league best figures of 6-41, struck three early blows before Jacques was joined at the crease by Josh Digby (41), with Bashley wobbling at 33-3.
Jacques made 123 (two sixes and nine fours) and added 110 before Jerry’s second spell ended the Bashley innings at 225-9.
The evergreen Kevin Nash quickly removed Havant opener Stu Ransley, but any prospect of Bashley ending a disappointing season on a positive note effectively ended with Peter Hopson (37) and Hindley taking the score to 100 before the second wicket fell.
Hindley reigned supreme after that, hitting two sixes and 12 fours in an unbeaten 103, sharing an unbroken stand of 129 with Chris Stone (56) as Havant cruised home with five overs to spare.
