Easton and Martyr Worthy and Rowledge lead the upset in round two
Mike Vimpany - 14 June 2001

Easton & Martyr Worthy face a gruelling cross-country trip to Rowledge, near Farnham, in the quarter-finals of the Southern Electric Contracting Cup on Tuesday week, June 26 (6pm).

But the tie of the third round is arguably BAT's clash with Lymington - a match which will see Dan Goldstraw and Damien Shirazi lining up against their old club.

In the other ties, cup favourites Havant receive Burridge and rank outsiders Flamingos play Premier Division 1 side Andover at The Holt, Lower Upham.

Inspired by the Green brothers, Easton & Martyr Worthy sent neighbours Winchester KS spinning to a 51-run defeat in the second round at Cockets Mead.

Steve Green thumped 67 and shared a key third-wicket stand with Dave Birch (40) as Easton rattled up 172-4 in 24 overs.

Winchester, who included Sussex pace bowler Billy Taylor, sank to 121 all out, with Shaun Green (3-28) removing the middle-oder.

An opening stand of 78 between Dave Carson (52) and Richard Kenway (36) eased BAT Sports towards an eight-wicket win at Trojans (111-6), who were always struggling to make a decent score after Richard Taylor (3-29) and Dan Goldstraw (2-24) reduced them to 27-4.

Neil Sutherland's unbeaten 25 lifted Trojans to 111-6, but it was never likely to be enough.

Ian Langdown (69), Neil Staddon (51 not out), Sam Miller (35) and Jerry Hayward (27 not out) made hay as Andover scorched to a massive 199-3 against South Wilts, whose 136-8 contained a fine knock from in-form Russell Rowe (61).

Teenager Matt Hooper returned 3-31 as Andover cruised to a 63-run win to Lower Bemerton.

Lymington were twice up against it at Paultons, but a century third-wicket partnership between Ben Craft (63) and Daniel Peacock (53 not out) guided them home.

Duncan Park (47) and Tony Richman (28) came out of the traps with all guns blazing for Paultons, who totalled 135 before knocking over BrianClemow and Glyn Treagus in quick succession.

But Craft and Peacock added 114 to guide Lymington to a seven-wicket win. Neil Cunningham (81) and stylish Simon Creal (54) effectively put paid to Gosport's chances of an upset, although Borough did hit 154-7 (Lee Wateridge 63) after Burridge had posted a formidable 196-6.

Havant over-powered United Services, while Rowledge caused an upset, knocking out last year's beaten finalists, Liphook & Ripsley, in a pulsating finish.

David Lloyd hit 61 as Rowledge just clung on after hitting 138-3 (Dave Booton 27).

Liphook steadily lost wickets, but while Chris Yates (4-30) and Chris Eichler (3-54) made inroads, Bill Davenport (45) kept the visitors' flame flickering. But Liphook were eventually bowled out for 134 off the very last ball.
