Lowly Gosport somewhat confident of overtaking this score on a fine batting strip not exploited by the Lymington batting were thrown in reverse when young Canford School pupil Tom Myatt bowled the prolific scoring Australian Ryan Hale first ball with a beautiful yorker. Martin Hunt (7 overs 2 for 31) picked up 2 wickets and Christian Pain ( 5 overs 2 for 21) followed up with 2 more wickets and at 68 for 5 in the 15 th over Gosport were in trouble. A rearguard resistance took them to 130 before the next wicket fell to Karl Whatham (10.2 overs 2 for 42) but the tight bowling of Mike West and the spin of Glyn Treagus ( 12 overs 3 for 37) kept the opposition in check and Gosport finished 26 runs short. The Lymington fielding was excellent with fine catches by Glyn Treagus and Christian Pain and especially Martin Hunt's in the deep when Gosport looked like getting back into the match.
