ALTON FEEL THE HEAT AS LYMINGTON PILE UP 331

12/8/2015

Alton’s decision to put Lymington into bat on an afternoon when temperatures soared into the mid-Seventies spectacularly back-fired as the New Forest piled up 331-6 !
Lymington went on to bowl Alton out for 152 and win by 179 runs.
It was Alton’s sixth defeat in seventh matches – a result which increased the visitors’ relegation fears.
Dom Hand led the way for Lymington, following up his 86 against Burridge the previous week with a splendid 90, an innings which included a six and eight fours.
He shared a 110-run opening stand with Ben Rogers (54) and then 94 with Ryan Scott (37) before being caught ten runs short of a maiden Premier Division century with Lymington rattling along at 219-3.
Lewis McManus (43) and Cameron Grierson (42) added to Alton’s woe as Lymington headed towards a season’s best total.
Alton, whose arrival was delayed due to horrendous traffic, offered little resistance and bowed over for 152 (Mike Heffernan 38), with Hampshire wicket-keeper Lewis McManus taking off his gloves and taking 3-17.
