UNIVERSITY CRICKET: WESSEX STUDENTS IN GOOD FORM

Southampton University will go into Wednesday’s opening  BUCS Championship match against Bournemouth at Dean Park (12.30) in a confident mood after early season wins over Ventnor and Trojans. The Wessex batsmen have been in particularly good form, with Ed Nichols (106), Oli Calcott (69) and Jo Murtagh (54) flaying the Trojans attack for 306-5 in a 40-over affair at Stoneham Lane.  Left-arm spinner Mark Telkman took 6-34 as Trojans were dismissed for 155 (Dan Babidge 55).
