Lymington's Ross Whyte opens up - but there's one snag ... he's caught by Bashley's James Underwood [Terry Nash]
Bashley (Rydal) continue to fly high, with a 22-point advantage under their belts after five straight Southern Premier Division 3 victories.
They were far too strong for Lymington II who, having avoided relegation by a whisker at the end of last season, are under no misapprehension about how difficult is going to be to retain their SPL3 status.
They posted 173 (Ross Whyte 41) against Bashley, who cruised to a seven-wicket win on the back of a half-century by James Underwood (50), Alex Turner (39) and Chris Vaughan’s 34 not out.
Bashley’s grip on proceedings at them top of SPL3 was tightened when Trojans slipped to 45-run defeat at Fawley’s Holbury complex.
Such an outcome hardly seemed likely when Kieran Earl (56) saw his first three partners depart for ducks, but Will Crossley (30), Dave Streather (25) and Callum Earl (20) gave their 183 all out a degree of substance.
Wayne Smith (4-17) removed Trojans first three and only Ed Boyd (33) got stuck in as the Stoneham visitors fell to 138 all out.
