SEC Cup - First finalist confirmed as Bashley crush B.A.T.

Bashley (Rydal) have reached the final of the Southern Electric Contracting Cup and will play either South Wilts or Rowledge at the Hampshire Rose Bowl on Friday August 2, 5.45pm.

Bashley beat BAT Sports by six wickets in the semi-final at Southern Gardens - the reigning Premier League champions crashing from 36-0 to 46-7 in an amazing mid-innings spell.

Neil Taylor (5-10) clean bowled four batsmen after Michael Watson (24) and Richard Kenway (15) had provided a sound start.

Terry Rawlins (22 not out), Richard Dibden (16) and Simon Preston (16 not out) rallied, but a score of 104-8 off 23 overs was never likely to be enough. Bashley batted consistently, with Luke Ronchi's 36 not out leading the New Forest club to the final.

Premier Division 2 club Rowledge beat Burridge by 50 runs in the weather delayed quarter-final.

David Lloyd (52), Chris Yates junior (34) and Jeff Annings (27) led Rowledge to 152-6 before the Yates uncle and nephew combination sank Burridge for 102 (Roger Cawte 34).

Chris senior grabbed 4-19 and his 21-year old nephew 3-28.
