Winchester's eight match run ended by Rowledge in the rain
Mike Vimpany - 15 July 2001
Winchester's eight-match domination of Southern Electric Premier League Division 3 was ended by Rowledge, who shot the previously undefeated leaders out for 145 to secure a weather-cut seven-wicket win at River Park.
Australian seamer Craig Eichler (4-34) and evergreen Chris Yates (4-25) did the damage as Winchester were dismissed for 145, with only Institute batsman Paul Davies (34) making his mark in the middle-order.
Requiring a rain adjusted 98 off 27 overs, in-form Rowledge overcame two early setbacks - Stu Marks (3-46) removed Darren Mitchell and teenager Chris Yates in quick succession - with David Lloyd (55 not out) and Eichler (25) securing a seven-wicket win.
Second placed Alton had reached 145-6 (Gary Chalkley 39) when the match against United Services II was abandoned after 38.2 overs.
Havant II, chasing a rain trimmed 221 in 47 overs, got in off the third ball of the final over against Paultons at Whitmoor Lane.
Lifted by an opening stand of 91 between Duncan Park (76) and teenager Mike Weaver (35), Paultons totalled 235 (Phil Mist 4-57), with Tony Richman (31) averting a late-order collapse.
Matt Ward (67) fuelled Havant's bid, but Steve Mitchell (3-44) and Paul Wilde (2-49) regianed the initiative as the visitors slipped to 170-6.
But Havant, requiring 51 runs from eight overs, got in after a late flurry from Dominic Harland-Jones (25), Simon Turner and Richard Openshaw.
John Harris hit a crucial 70 as Hursley Park successfully chased an abridged target at Leckford, where the Test Valley club's 180-7 (Martyn Isherwood 54) was trimmed to 154.
A century second-wicket stand between Harris and skipper Rob Lowe (47) eased Hursley home.
Hampshire YCs prospect Kevin Latouf (40) celebrated his Flamingos debut with a key 40 as last year's Hampshire League champions chissled out an important six-wicket win at lowly Lymington II.
Peter Tapper (77) and Mark Jackson (52) guided Lymington to 200 - Dave Wright (4-50) and Adie Heath (3-24) grabbed the lion's share of the wickets - but, chasing a reduced 136 in 34 overs, Flamingos toasted only their third victory, with Gary Fenigan (23) and Richie Manthorpe (21) giving Latouf support.
Latouf scored an unbeaten 150 for Flamingos Sunday XI, who won at South Wilts.
Still in deep trouble are Waterlooville, who lost by 93 runs at Hook & Newnham Basics, where South African Jan Kaminski (100), Keith Lovelock (65) and Steve Shaw (50) laid seige to the visitors attack. Veteran Stan Ruder saw his eight overs hit for 81 runs !
Facing a towering 321-7, Ville reached 228-9 (Matt Slater 41), with Kaminski taking 4-42.
Paul Stringer, defying a long-term shoulder problem, returned for St Cross Symondians and took 4-26 in the eight-wicket win at Bashley (Rydal).
