heads by Waltham’s Paul McKenner (22 not out) & young James Enticknap
(1 not out) saw the home side home in a final ball thriller at
Albany Road.
Requiring
5 runs off the final over with only 1 wicket remaining, Enticknap
drove the last ball through Denmead’s close circle of fielders
to clinch victory. While opener Livermore (40) showed good application
on a slow wicket, Waltham’s middle order succumbed to the accurate
bowling of Wright (3-22), D Walker (3-35), Bathmaker (1-30) &
the luckless Lane (12-4-27-0).
However,
Waltham’s tail brought them back into the game with Brown (10),
Mitchell (10) & Dalton (5) making small but valuable contributions
to set up a nail biting climax.
Earlier
Denmead totaled 125 for 6 in 42 overs, thanks to C Walker (23),
Halliday (18), Bathmaker (13), Shinn (19 not out), Wright (10
not out) & aided by some indifferent fielding, despite the best

launching an uncompromising assault which saw the home bowlers
wilt.

excellent Pritchard stole the show with another majestic century
while Barclay (59) & Selwyn (26 not out) also made significant
contributions.

played a chanceless innings taking his run tally to over 400 runs
this season with none of Waltham's bowlers escaping punishment
as Compton cruised to a formidable 264-2.
After
their long afternoon in the field the Waltham batsmen never came
to terms with the target against the Compton opening attack of
Dearlove's spin & Brown's pace.
Selwyn's
sharp run out ended the opening partnership & Bailey fell soon
after to Brown, victim of an excellent diving catch by keeper
Read.
A
soild fourth wicket partnership frustrated the Compton bowlers
until Pritchard (3-26) had the dependable Harvey caught off a
full toss. Waltham eventually finishing on 127-8.

in 21 overs set the foundation for Andover's win.
Only

Mills (4-34) made inroads into the home sides batting.
Earlier,

at four runs per over as the visitors reached 101-3 in the 25th
over, aided by the sensible batting of Tromans (29).

It
was the Robbie & Mikey show again for Waltham, as the phenomenal
opening pairing of Messrs Bailey & Barrett took their season's
total to 785 runs in 9 matches.
Off
spinner Paul Woodward (6-21) took advantage of a helpful surface,
as the home side managed only 80 runs in total.

despite the visitors dropping several presentable chances & also
having two run out appeals turned down.

Waltham II 106-6 (28.5 overs)
Hollybank 105 all out (37.4 overs)

returned to winning ways with a good bowling & fielding display
to win by four wickets at Albany Road.
Hollybank,
batting first, soon lost an early wicket as Mitchell (2-14) made
the breakthrough. The visitors then lost wickets at regular intervals
as Bowen (5-25) bowled a good line & length on a dampish wicket,
along with Dalton (1-20), Mills (1-18) & Gibson (1-25) all claiming
a wicket a piece.
Despite
Kinge (23), McDougall (23) & some late lusty blows by Tindale
(14), Hollybank were eventually dismissed for 105 in the 38th
over.
In
reply Waltham started well enough as openers Livermore (17) &
Tromans (15) added 34 runs for the first wicket.
Then
a disciplined bowling spell by Hollybank's Wood (2-23) & Henderson
(4-36) had the home side wobbling at 74-6 in the 18th over.
However,
McKenner (19 not out) & Mitchell (9 not out) steadied the ship
as they batted sensibly to steer the Waltham home to victory in
the 29th over.

Bishop's
Waltham 162 - 6 (45 overs)
Pylewell Park 163 - 6 (44.2 overs)
Waltham
paid the price for an untidy show in the field as promotion rivals,
Pylewell Park scrapped home by four wickets with four balls to
spare on an Albany Road pitch with variable bounce.
Royan
(3-45) & CL Kitcher (2-17) accounted for prolific Waltham openers
Mike Barrett & Rob Bailey, but skipper Simon Jones (45) & Nick
Pink (35 not out), aided by 28 extras, saw the home side reach
a defendable 162-6.
Cooper
(36) set the visitors' reply off to a flyer, but left armer Steve
Enfield (2-34) pegged Pylewell back.
Despite
three wickets from Pete Boston & Jones' sharp run out of Royan
(50), CM Kitcher (25) always kept Pylewell up with the run rate
as his brother CL Kitcher stuck the winning boundary from the
second ball of the last over.
Waltham's
visit to top six outfit Midhurst now takes on added significance,
as does the encounter at home to Crown Taverners the following
week.

Alton
III 190 all out (41.3 overs)
Bishop's Waltham II 156 - 8 (42 overs)
Alton
III's 44 run triumph saw Rees & Extras joint top scoring with
46 apiece!
Twenties from Wilson, Giles & Dawkins helped the home side's cause,
despite 5-30 from Waltham's Kevin Bowen, who along with Ray Mitchell
(1-33) exerted control after Alton reached 60 off the first ten
overs, although Phil Dalton claimed three late wickets.
Tromans
(32) replied briskly for Waltham, but extras (21) was the next
highest contribution as Dawkins (3-38) along with Burns & Reeves,
claiming two wickets apiece, enjoyed successes with the ball.
Mitchell
(17 not out) & Dalton (15 not out) batted out the overs as Waltham
closed on 156-8.

Midhurst
213 - 5 (44.4 overs)
Bishop's
Waltham 212 - 6 (45 overs)
Midhurst
dealt a blow to Waltham's promotion hopes, winning by five wickets
with two balls to spare, with plaudits also going to the blameless
Cowdray Park pitch & the picturesque surroundings.
Smith
(22 not out) smote a six & a four in Dunlea's final over and struck
the winning blow four balls later, but the platform was laid by
classy left-hander Goodwin (89). Enfield (1-28) removed his opening
partner Sharp for 44 & Woodward (1-53) kept it tight, leaving
the home side 64 to win from 8 overs.
Despite
missing half chances to dismiss Goodwin (twice) & Smith (once),
the balance of power remained with the visitors thanks to excellent
catches in the deep by Barrett & Harvey off Dunlea's bowling.
Jones' direct hit, from long off, ran out home skipper Lush, but
Smith's intervention condemned Waltham to their second successive
last over defeat.
Earlier,
Bailey (20) & Barrett (35), followed by Harvey (36) got the visitors
up and running, while Jones (46 not out) emulated his illustrious
counterpart's seven fours & a six in adding 78 with Oddie (34).
Pink (12 not out) smote lustily late on, before breaking a finger
taking a catch in the Midhurst innings, for whom Reid's 2-38 in
12 overs of intelligent slow bowling proved decisive.
Waltham
probably need to win their remaining five matches to reach their
goal of County 3 in 2003.

openers Livermore (71 not out) & Tromans (19) gave the home side
a good start putting on 68 for the first wicket in 18 overs. The
momentum was maintained by Livermore along with Fletcher (18)
& A Wymbs (26 not out) as Baker, Pleace & A Johnson with one wicket
apiece enjoyed success, with Waltham eventually closing on 181-4.
In
reply, Liss started slowly and scored only 52 for 4 from the first
20 overs, due to tight accurate bowling from Ray Mitchell (2-20
in 12 overs). Pleace (17), Freeman (15) & Judge (19) then set
about rebuilding the visitors reply but wickets fell at regular
intervals with Dalton taking 2-32.
Then
when Baker (25) was dismissed by Gibson (4-27), the visitors lost
their impetus and were all out for 120.

knock at a damp Albany Road.
Home
debutant Alistair Gage (3-54) clipped his off stump but failed
to dislodge the bails, while leg spinner Charlie Farley (1-26)
also claimed a victim on debut.
Openers
House (28) & JE Smith (34) had laid the Loddon base as JA Smith
(18) along with his captain helped the visitors posted 193-4.
Once

Crown
Taverners dented Waltham's promotion ambitions & helped their
own cause with a 13 run win at a sun-drenched Albany Road.
Boston
(2-41) claimed an early breakthrough but Emerson (60), supported
by Griffiths (32) & then Hodgkinson (40) took the score to 131
before Kev Bowen (2-24) removed them both.
Jon
Dunlea (2-47) claimed a couple of late scalps as the visitors
posted 176-7.
Rob
Bailey & Mike Barrett (28) replied with an opening stand of 69
but Hall (11 overs for 30 runs) & Boshoff (1 for 34 in 12 overs)
put the home side behind the clock.
Hodgkinson
(2-43) caught & bowled Bailey for 74 & had Harvey (19) caught
behind. When Gudge (1-43) accounted for Jones on the long-on boundary,
Waltham's chances faded with the light.
Nothing
less than two wins at Oakley & IBM Hursley will do for Waltham,
who still have to rely on other results to attain County 3 status.

home side passed Waltham's 178-3 despite tight bowling from James
Enticknap (1-24) & Ray Mitchell (12 overs for 40), as De Cambra
(32), Dyer (22) & Thomas (19) supported their match winner.
Earlier,
Livermore (24) & Fletcher (45) set the base for Brown (47 not
out) & Mitchell (36 not out) to add 75 for the fourth wicket partnership,
although Pugsley's 12 overs for just 35 proved vital for Purbrook.

Oakley
159 all out (44.5 overs)
Bishop's Waltham 108 - 3 (26 overs)
Even
the presence of Oakley president Major Ronald Ferguson couldn't
prevent Waltham's first win since July 13th in a rain-reduced
encounter.
A
major Ron Harvey contribution (24 runs at a run a ball) kept the
visitors ahead of the rate & Mike Barrett (54 not out) took on
the short ball with relish, clocking up 500 runs for the season
along the way.
A
heavy downpour ended the visitors' pursuit of Oakley's 159 at
108 for 3 after 26 overs, giving Waltham another 21 points towards
their promotion push.
Earlier,
despite thirties from the home sides' Rutt & Mardle, Paul Woodward
(4-47) & Pete Boston (3-53) took wickets at regular intervals,
with back-up from Jon Dunlea (2-14) & all-rounder Phil Baldock
(1-41) who made a welcome return.
Waltham
now need to win at unpredictable IBM Hursley & sweat on the results
of Pylewell Park, Kingsclere & Crown Taverners, who need to reach
262 points to finish ahead of the Mitre men.

Hampshire League County Division IV
IBM
Hursley 209 - 6 (45 overs)
Bishop's Waltham 210 - 6 (43.3 overs)
Waltham
completed a Pyrrhic victory in farcical near-darkness at Hursley,
edging home by four wickets with nine balls to spare chasing the
Programmers' 209 for 6.
It seems likely that defeats against Crown Taverners & Pylewell
Park have condemmed Waltham to another season in a division described
by skipper Simon Jones as "the most difficult league to get out
of".
With
740 & 540 runs respectively, Rob Bailey (54) & Mike Barrett (39)
resumed normal service with their fifth century stand of the year.
Dave Oodie (36 not out) was there at the death & received good
support from Ron Harvey (15) & Simon Jones (19), who both fell
to the much sought-after Chris McDermott (5-44).
Earlier,
McDermott (54 not out) had added 101 for IBM's fourth wicket with
the excellent Etienne Rademaker, who struck 13 fours & two sixes
in a technically exquisite 93.
In
the darkness of the closing stages, fielders ran comically in
wrong directions & then attempted to listen for the ball as it
neared the boundary, but Waltham scrapped home !
