HARTLEY Wintney lost by just one wicket at Bournemouth in their latest Southern League Division One outing.

The home side were set a target of 126 to win and just got over the finishing line with 17 balls to spare.

This was thanks to some really tight bowling from the village side’s attack led by Mark Teale (3-20) and supported well by Chris Jolley (2-21), Aaron Wivell (1-23) Scott Baldwin (1-31) and Jamie Teale (0-24).

It was Bournemouth skipper Martin Miller (40) and David Kidner (47) who made sure the Dorset side won.

Opener Miller anchored the innings being the sixth man out with the score on 105 and Kidner was the eighth wicket to fall with score on 123.

Earlier, in the contest, the home side won the toss and elected to bowl.

Kidner proved to be the main weapon of the Bournemouth attack with an impressive return of 5-24.

He removed most of the Hartley top order as they struggled to 46-6 and then Joshua Finnie (3-27) added more woe for the visitors.

Scott Baldwin (31) was the village side’s top scorer and Chris Jolley (22) was the next best batter in their all score of 125.

Next up for Hartley is a visit from Calmore Sports on Saturday.
