Richman's at it again as Paultons pile up agony on Lymington II
Mike Vimpany - 24 June 2001
Tony Richman, who smashed 71 runs off 28 balls at Purbrook last month, ran amok with a blistering boundary-strewn century as Paultons piled up 329-8 against struggling Southern Electric Premier Division 3 rivals Lymington II at the Sports Ground.
Arriving at the crease with Paultons 113-4 (Duncan Park 51), Richman smashed six 6s and 11 fours, cracking 103 in just 32 scoring shots.
Colin James (42) and John Robinson, with a quick-fire 38, weighed in as Paultons reached 329-8 before Peter Lamb's spell of 5-30 helped dismiss Lymington for 177.
A half-century by Paul Marks, following three-wicket spells from Martin Taylor and Stuart Marks, enabled leaders Winchester KS to extend their unbeaten run with a seven-wicket win over Leckford.
But Havant's unblemished tag went after Paddy Heffernan (79) and Richie Morgan (56) took Alton from 4-2 to 268-8 at the Jubilee Field.
Julian Ballinger and Brian Rotherham each took three wickets as Havant crumbled from 98-0 to 159 all out.
Nathan Collins, Gosport Borough's Australian import, took 6-30 in the six-wicket win over United Services, while St Cross Symondians (229-9) held on by the skin of their teeth to win by two runs after ninth-wicket pair Graham McCoy (65) and Mark Stanley (35) led Purbrook from 137-8 to 227-8.
Portsmouth II produced an amazing fightback to overhaul Flamingos 201-6 (Shane Merkel 84 not out) at St Helen's, Southsea.
A five-wicket blast from Nick McMurray (5-35) left Portsmouth reeling at 57-7, but an unbroken century ninth-wicket partnership between Steve Mitchell (94) and Gary Rogers (42) turned the match on its head.
