Wherwell II v Michelmersh and Timsbury III.

Losing the toss Wherwell were asked to bat and lost the skipper early on but Nigel Horne (32) played some gorgeous shots to all corners and a third wicket 50 run partnership with Mark Pembry (18) looked like being the bedrock of a good total until Pembry was stumped. This brought Charlie Ingrem (31) in to bat, with a knee brace on and unable to take quick singles but he was on the attack from the start. Late hitting from Stephen Bonser (14), TJ Hull (6no) and Richard Rowles (8) got the score to a competitive 129.

In reply M&T looked strong but Wherwell started to chip away and Mick Ling (2-14) and Richard Rowles, playing his first league match in two years had the visitors at 40-5 as Rowles bowled unchanged for 3-32. Pembry picked up a wicket and Mark Saunders also got his first league scalp and the innings was wrapped up by Ingrem for an unexpected 25 run win. More from Wherwell in Friday's Advertiser
