Village KO - Hursley Park successfully chase Paultons target
Mike Vimpany (as published in Daily Echo) - 14 May 2002
Hursley Park polished off a 252-run target to knock Paultons out of The Cricketer National Village Cricket Championship.
James Lush was their hero, taking three wickets and then scoring a century. Paultons were confident after Andrew Collins (82) and Kevin Cresswell (68) helped post a formidable 252-6.
But led by Lush's 107 and a supporting knock from Matt Harvey (55), Hursley Park galloped to a six-wicket win.
The victory gives Hursley Park a third round trip to Flamingo's, who beat Amport by seven wickets at The Holt.
John Anstee (73) top scored for Amport, but a total of 177-9 (Kevin Brewster 3-36) was overtaken as Mike Foster (56) and Stu Shapland (49 not out) saw Flamingo home.
Tim Richings (79) and Carl Nichols (61) guided Sparsholt to victory over Crown Taverners (181-5), while Martyn Cheyney's unbeaten 79, coupled with a half-century by Nick Gerrad (50), carried Tichborne Park to a five-wicket win over Hambledon.
Leckford moved into the third round without bowling a ball in anger - Penton withdrawing because of a shortage of players.
The third round ties on Sunday week, May 26, include:
Bramshaw v Sparsholt, Flamingo (Upham) v Hursley Park, Leckford v Rowland's Castle, Tichborne Park v Appleshaw.
