Bramshaw chased down a 192-run target to beat Tichborne Park by two wickets and cause the biggest local upset in the National Village Championship first round.
Tichborne recovered from an uncertain 47-3 to post 191-7, with Will Allam (67) and Martin Cheyney (40) providing the backbone of the innings.  Joe Coombes (2-24) was the pick of the Bramshaw bowlers.
Andy Hart (38) and Jack Booth (21) gave Bramshaw a half-century start, which Coombes (48)[pictured] improved.  Allam and Kieren Connell, both with 3-37 returns, hit back for TP, but two fours from Jonty Loveless got Bramshaw across the line.
Parley’s powerful batting won the day in the Dorset/Wiltshire showdown at Shrewton, who were dismissed for 185 after the Bournemouth visitors had piled up a daunting 280-5.
Alex Nippard (52) and George Wilson (54 not out) hit fifties for Parley, with the promising Roshan Embalagama (45), Andy Cooke (39) and Ollie Green (28) chipping in.
James Miller (4-42) had Shrewton rocking at 30-5 before Jack Plant (55) began the token resistance.  Ollie Green took 3-18.
2018 Lord’s finalists Liphook & Ripsley and VC debutants Sarisbury Athletic overcame the first hurdle with comfortable wins.
Liphook made short work of Overton, rushing the Test Valley side out for 69 – very slow left-armer Dave Elliott (5-19) was almost unplayable – before knocking off the target in quick time.
Andy Barnes took 3-27 and Suman Ganguly two wickets without conceding as run before blasting eight boundaries in an unbeaten 45, which included eight boundaries.
Sam Floyd hit 70 and Chris Sanders an unbeaten 51 as Sarisbury Athletic beat one-time Lord’s finalists Hambledon (193-9) by seven wickets at Allotment Road.
Dons skipper Spencer le Clerq (45) and PGS starlet Alex Willoughby (30) top scored, while left-arm spinner Sam Hill took 3-42.   
Paultons brushed aside Longparish to win by ten wickets, while Hursley Park progressed without bowling a ball in anger – Godshill conceding.
Oakley, last season’s Hampshire League County Division 4 North champions, went down by two wickets to Amport in a North Hampshire derby, which produced over 450 runs.
Oakley’s 226-8 was built around a half-century by Brad Compton (56), Martyn Startup taking 3-16 for Amport, whose chased down the target through Roly Glover (53), Jack Kent (42) and Eddie Glover (38)
