VENTNOR'S TOM IS A FRIEND INDEED

Rob Snell and the returning Tom Friend blasted Ventnor to an eight-wicket win over Andover, who were bundled out for 113 at Steephill.
Snell did the damage with the new ball, taking 4-20 as Andover lurched to 41-5, a position from which they never recovered.
Matt Hooper (23) did his best to guide Andover to a competitive total, but even when the Lions ran out teenage Ventnor opener Ben Herridge without facing a ball the odds were stacked against them.
Island born Friend, left, who enjoyed a prolific season helping York win the powerful ECB Yorkshire South Premier League in 2017, slammed three sixes and eight fours in an unbeaten 60 to lead Ventnor home.
Liphook & Ripsley chased down a 240-run target to beat defending Division One champions Calmore Sports by two wickets at Ripsley Park.
Their run chase was based around a 138-run second-wicket stand between Ryan Covey (74) and Harry Munt (56) and, after a slight wobble, flourished again when George Neave applied the long handle, hitting a run-a-ball 42 including two maximums.
Earlier Calmore, who struggled to contain the run flow while Covey and Munt were together, built a similar type of innings, with Matt Hardy hitting three sixes and six fours in his 64 and left-hander Ben Johns clearing the boundary rope twice alongside hitting ten boundaries in his 79.
Calmore lost three wickets on 176 before Darren Vann hit 30 runs in boundaries in his quick fire 42 not out to take the visitors 239-6.
