Nottage is back with Bedhampton Mariners
Top order batsman Jamie Nottage, who had played for Portsmouth Community since they were founded in 2020, has returned to former club Bedhampton Mariners.
He opened the batting and skippered the 2nds in their three-wicket defeat to Gosport Borough 4ths at Privett Park in Division 6 South East of the Hampshire League.
Nottage top scored with 32 as Bedhampton, having been inserted, posted 146-8. Young Danny Bradley-Turner - an under-14s player - bagged threetailendwicketstofinish with HL best figures of 3-30.
Bradley-Turner, whose previous highest score was 36 for Gosport under-13s last season, then top scored with 50 as his side won with three overs in hand.
Bedhampton might have fancied their chances when Boro fell to 110-7, but No 9 Ervin Reji (25 not out) and Tim Basford (10 not out) put on an unbroken 37 for the eighth wicket.
Hayling Island 3rds suffered a spectacular collapse en route to a heavy loss against Gosport Borough 3rds in the same division.
Having reached 33-0 (Gary Maloney 13, Neil Wellington 10), the islanders proceeded to lose all 10 wickets for just NINETEEN runs.
Gary Kitchin bagged 4-2 off 5.1 overs and Ade Webb claimed 3-9 off five overs as Hayling careered to 52 all out.
Gosport were in no mood to hang around, racing to their victory target in just 38 balls.
At least Hayling fielded 11 players - there were three teams in the division who couldn’t raise a side – Railway Triangle 2nds (v Denmead), Emsworth 3rds (v Purbrook 3rds) and Fareham & Crofton 4ths (v Waterlooville 3rds)
