Rowledge slipped to a 34-run defeat at Totton & Eling in Division One of the Southern Premier Cricket League on Saturday.

Max Martin (three for 37) and David Lloyd (three for 30) bowled superbly to leave Totton in trouble on 81 for six, but Josh May (44) and the lower order fought back as the hosts were bowled out for 200 in the last over.

Rowledge’s reply got off to a disastrous start with Bothwell Chapangu (five for 17) ripping through the top five.

When Ollie Baker fell to Rajat Parmar the visitors were 85 for seven and seemingly out of the contest.

Bertie Chilcott (27) and Lloyd (37) started a recovery, but both fell with the score on 144 and Rowledge were bowled out for 166.

Rowledge’s second team beat Twyford by one wicket thanks to a superb 114 not out from Sam Armes. Rowledge’s third team crashed to an eight-wicket defeat at Liphook & Rispley’s second team.

Tilford beat Midhurst by 154 runs in Division One of the I’Anson League on Saturday.

Midhurst captain Henry Lock won the toss and asked Tilford to bat first.

Despite an early wicket falling, Henry Clinton and John Barran (77) put on 71 before Clinton was caught for 28. Ciaran Rooney and Barron then added 113 before Rooney was dismissed for 72.

Blake Weston (six for 66) took a flurry of wickets, but the home side scored a formidable 248 for eight off their 45 overs.

Midhurst’s reply began badly as Huw Town-Jones took three early wickets to reduce the score to 28 for three.

Only Paddy Cowell offered much resistance before he was eighth out for 40 and the visitors were all out for 94 in the 26th over.

Town-Jones took three for 29 and there were two wickets each for Nigel Martyn, Andy Hall Hall and Mike Braans.
