Andover, Lymington, Havant and Rowledge make last four of SEC Cup

Little Flamingos came within an ace of landing a massive Southern Electric Contracting Cup quarter-final shock, losing by only two runs to Premier Division 1 side Andover at The Holt last night (Tuesday).

Andover looked to have the tie in the bag after Sam Miller (61), Marc Kavanagh (42) and Neil Staddon (35) piled up an awesome 168-6 in 23.2 overs.

But Flamingos hit back through Richie Manthorpe (49) and Shane Merkel (38), and at 158-5 - needing 11 runs off the last 14 balls of the match - were favourites.

But Kevin Brewster (32) was run out off the penultimate ball, leaving Flamingos 166-9 at the close.

Lymington scored 38 runs off the opening three overs at Southern Gardens and went on to pull off an unexpected 12-run win over BAT Sports.

Brian Clemow (24) and Glyn Treagus led the initial assault and, after five overs, Lymington were 52-3.

Daniel Peacock (42) guided Lymington to 142-9 in 23 overs.

BAT lost three early wickets, fought back well through Richard Kenway (53) and Adam Hayes (29), only to lose their way after reaching 101-3 with six overs remaining.

Treagus (3-26), Peacock (2-23) and, crucially, Wayne Smith (2-13) reduced BAT to 130-8 by stumps.

Shawn Gillies (98) and Richard Hindley (56) swept cup favourites Havant to 191-4 and an eventual 46-run victory over Burridge.

Dave Jackson (50) and Ian Williamson (40 not out) took the Burridge reply to 145-7 (Hindley 3-24).

Chasing a Rowledge total of 135-8, Easton & Martyr Worthy faltered after reaching a challenging 71-2 in nine overs.

They finished up five runs adrift at 130 all out, Chris Yates taking four wickets.
