Double 'Derby' delight for Bashley
Trevor Phillips - 19 November 2001
Bashley had a double cause for celebration as both the first and second teams saw off their counterparts from New Milton in the latest round of New Forest Indoor League matches.
Dean Miller's fine unbeaten 47 had seen Milton reach a respectable 120 for 5 in their Division One clash. But Steve Latimore (21) and Shaun Lilley (22no) guided Bashley home to a two wicket victory with just three balls remaining.
Meanwhile, in Division 3, Milton II fared little better. Their 102 for 3 was based around Jamie Snellgrove's 36 not out. But thanks to 28 not out from Stuart Wait and 26 not out from Dave Morris, Bashley II wasted no time in knocking off the runs for the loss of just one wicket in the ninth over.
Burley suffered a heavy loss at the hands of Esso. Only Paul Yates looked in any sort of form, scoring almost half the sides' runs in a modest total of 85 for 5. Esso lost just one wicket in reply with Andy Parrott (25no) and Jason Ford (27no) taking them past Burley's score in the penultimate over.
An unbroken fifth wicket stand of 57 between Trevor Phillips (42no) and Ed Molloy (20no) resured Lymington from a potentially embarrassing situation against five-man Paultons. Lymington had slumped to 55 for 4 from 8 overs, but Phillips and Molloy batted sensibly to take their team to a much healthier 112.
Wayne Smith then bagged two wickets as Paultons were dismissed for a paltry 56 with only Mark Weaver (21) making a score of any note.
There was a high scoring match between north Forest rivals Ringwood and Godshill in Division 2. Godshill might have felt happy with their 129 for 3 (Gerald Pettley 28, Jim Harrison 28no, Alan Cousins 25no, John Hopkinson 25no), but Ringwood swept to a four wicket victory with seven balls remaining thanks to 26no from Neville Bush and an unbeaten 25 from Alan Gregory.
Brockenhurst's poor start to the season continued as they fell to defeat against Esso II despite a undefeated 47 from Dick Wickison. Brock totalled 105 for 4, but Wickison's heroics were in vain as Jon Church (21) and Pete Miller (28no) ensured a three wicket win for the men from Fawley.
