Jimmy Taylor cracked a second consecutive century as Hursley Park romped to an emphatic 103-run victory over Liphook & Ripsley at The Quarters.

Taylor smacked 15 fours in his 121, which followed a fluent 139 against the Hampshire Academy the previous week.

He initially played the supporting role with Raman Prendergast (40), but put himself firmly in the spotlight during a partnership with Paul Marks (58), which set Hursley on their way to a formidable total.

Adie Aymes (38) enjoyed a century stand with Taylor as Hursley powered to 274-5.

Harry Hooper (91) and Tom Cledwyn (51) took Liphook's reply to 118-1, after which the innings folded.

They lost nine wickets for 53 runs, with Dave Greetham (3-30) removing the tail after spin duo Ollie Green (4-60) and Andy Marks (3-49) had weaved through the top and middle Liphook order.

South Wilts grabbed a penultimate over victory at Havant after Jo Cranch had hit out to help the visitors reach 278-7.

Cranch made 96 and added 120 in a punchy fifth-wicket stand with Dan Webb (38) before Alex Senneck struck a quick fire 39.

Steve Dean (49) and Ben Walker (21) got Havant away to a flying start, but the hosts progress was checked by a three-wicket spell by Senneck, who finished with 5-70.

Ollie Jones (27), Sam Walker (26) and Shane Fergusson (34) kept Havant interested, but it was always a question of whether South Wilts could take all ten wickets.

They achieved their objective off the fourth ball of the penultimate over, with Havant 220 all out.
