Harting maintained their slim prospects of catching undefeated Purbrook in the South East Hants Indoor League championship race with a maximum-point victory over Fareham & Crofton.

But despite their comfortable 23-run win over Fareham, Harting acknowledge that, unless Purbrook slip up, they will probably finish runners-up.

St John's College sports master Gerry Archer grabbed two wickets and struck a tidy 26, yet finished on the losing Gosport Borough side against Division 2 rivals Waterlooville.

Alan Lilley's undefeated 45 set up Rowner's two-wicket success against IBM South Hants.
