Andover v Bashley Rydal A nine wicket victory last Saturday consolidated the Powell's sponsored side's place in the top three of the Southern Electric Premier Division 1, and closed the gap on the top two, after both Havant and Bournemouth lost.

The all day fixture, played on a new laid bouncy wicket at London Road, which was always going to ensure a result, was in the end a comfortable victory, but not without the odd blemish in the catching department.
