Academy prospect Stuart Ransley played the pivotal role as Havant celebrated a NatWest Hampshire Under-16 Indoor League win double against Andover and St Cross Symondians at the Rose Bowl.

Ransley hit 31 and took 2-27 in the seven-run win over Andover and top-scored with 32 in a 16-run victory against St Cross.

Colin Hardaker (32) and Peter Hopson (27) provided the support as Havant totalled 131-3 against Andover, who came back strongly with John Palmer (33) keeping the outcome in doubt. Andover reached 124-5.

Will Bayliss hit an undefeated 35 to clinch a thrilling one-wicket win for St Cross Symondians over Andover.

He needed to score the last 20 runs single-handed after Jo Lovett (33) had fallen at 105-5 as one of three victims of John Palmer (3-26).

But he kept his cool to steer St Cross past Andover's 123-5 (Lovett 3-14) with two balls to spare.

Ali Montgomery found himself in a similar last-man situation when St Cross challenged Havant's powerful 137 (Stuart Ransley 32).

But Montgomery, who had earlier taken 2-12, was left with too much to do after Lovett (35) had been run out at 77-5.

Nevertheless, the St Cross youngster hit an unbeaten 44 to take the St Cross reply to 121-5 and deny Havant a bowling bonus point.
