CADNAM consolidated their position at the top of Division 1 in the New Forest Indoor Cricket League with a thrilling last-over win over nearest rivals New Milton.

New Milton were dismissed for just 101 with only the Millers, Lee (27) and Dean (24), in form.

Cadnam were coasting to victory thanks to Steve Pollock and Paul Kerley (27) but Andy Snellgrove's introduction tightened things up and, suffering four runs outs, they began to falter.

Fortunately for Cadnam Steve Pollock (37) returned to the fray and he was able to guide them to a one-wicket win with just three balls to spare.

Hot on the heels of Cadnam are Bashley, who, after losing their first match, are now in great form.

They took just seven overs to register a five- wicket victory over Esso II, who they restricted to a miserly 62-4. Kevin Nash hit an unbeaten 27 as Bashley sped towards their target.

In Division 2, Steve Vibert's unbeaten 27 was the only highlight of New Milton II's 76-3. Swan Green's openers Charlie Haskell (27 ret) and John Murray (25 ret) ensured a six-wicket demolition off just 31 deliveries.

Brockenhurst amassed 144-1 with Dick Wickison, Simon Naylor, Dave Ardley and Ken Sharpe all retiring. Although Alan Gregory and Glyn Davies led the Ringwood reply, they lost wickets at regular intervals and were all out for 106.

Bashey II were stopped at 103-3 in Division 3 with Andy McGregor (25 ret) top scorer, but this was enough to secure victory over Milford-on-Sea who were skittled out for just 84.

Shock result of the day was Burley II's nine-run win over previously unbeaten Pylewell Park III thanks mainly to all-round performances from Rob Trotter (23 and 2-24) and Charlie Moorman (31 not out and 1-13).

Burley's total of 100-5 looked in danger as Matt Doe (27) led Pylewell to 60-2 at the half-way stage. But wickets tumbled in quick succession and they were all out for 91 (Adi Hampton 23) off 11.2 overs.
