Andover II v Bramshaw

Andover II continued to close the gap on league leaders Fair Oak with another solid and hardworking win against Bramshaw.

Bramshaw arrived at London Road in good form having beaten Fair Oak the previous weekend and might have been pleased to be asked to bowl first on a damp track.

Andover got off to a slow start reaching just 81-3 at the mid-point with Atkins (75) providing the backbone.

He was ably supported by Funnell (32) as Andover clawed their way a competitive 200-9 at the close.

Graham showed again that he is a very capable lower order batsman thrashing 16* off only 11 balls.
