BATTING first on a brilliant track at Leckford, Longparish III scored quickly against Fawley IV.

Dan Pomroy cracked 33 and U14 Callum Giles spanked a super 49 before Ray Smith returned to the crease with a scratchy four.

But skipper Martin Bearpark top scored with 94 as Longparish closed on 218-8.

A precocious Longparish III attack proved to be too much for the visitors who were all out for 77 with Dan Bearpark, Christian Dawson, Nathan Smith and Paul Giles all picking up wickets.
