JOE Fenies scored a superb maiden century, as he helped to keep Ramsdell second string in the promotion hunt in the Hampshire League Regional Two North East

The young batsman smashed 161, which saw him hammer 13 sixes and 156 fours with some excellent crisp hitting against a bewildered visiting Littleton bowling attack.

He helped Ramsdell to 251-3 and the visitors then reached 161-5 as they were soundly beaten. The victory leaves Ramsdell fourth in the table.
