SPCL 3 - Alton open up gap at table summit
Mike Vimpany (as published in Daily Echo) - 7 July 2002
Alton have established a formidable lead at the top of Southern Electric Premier League, Division 3 after a thrilling two-wicket win over Purbrook at the Jubilee Ground.
They were set a testing 191-6 after Willen Prozesky (73) and Craig Williams (42) top scored for the visitors.
Alton batted consistently down the order but, after reaching 135-4, suffered a middle-order wobble, slipping to 148-7 before Matt Ireson (21) and Howard Gadsby titled the match their way.
Mark Stanley (3-47) and Graham McCoy, with a tidy 1-21 off 11 overs, took the credits for Purbrook.
Their third defeat has put Flamingo into second place - the Corhampton club's visit to St Cross Symondians being a weather victim.
Ross Cambray celebrated his return from university with a key 4-22 spell for Hursley Park, who moved into fourth spot after beating Paultons by 49 runs.
Cambray ripped through Paultons' top order after Hursley Park had been restricted to 164-9 on a rain affected Quarters surface.
