South Wilts to face Bashley (Rydal) in SEC Cup Final Mike Vimpany - 23 July 2002
Bashley (Rydal) will play Premier League rivals South Wilts in the Southern Electric Contracting Cup final at the Hampshire Rose Bowl on Friday week, August 2 (5.45pm). South Wilts scrambled a five-wicket, penultimate ball victory over Rowledge at Lower Bemerton last night, mon. The Salisbury club appeared to be cruising towards a comfortable win, needing seven runs off the final two overs to overhaul a Rowledge total of 104-7. But, after the impressive Jamie Glasson (26) had been run out, South Wilts suffered an attack of the nerves and in a tense finish clinched their cup final slot with just one ball to go. David Lloyd (23) and Chris Yates (22) had earlier begun well for Rowledge, but a five-wicket spell of left-arm bowling by Paul Draper (5-21) derailed their progress. Dave Booton (24) and Nick Morant (20) helped Rowledge, the National Village Championship quarter-finalists, to 104-7 off 20 overs. Jon Nash (19), Rob Wade (18) and Russell Rowe (16) all did their bit for South Wilts, who so nearly came unstuck after Glasson was needlessly run out. © SPCL
