BRAD Porteous smashed Basingstoke and North Hants in the second round of the Southern League T20 Cup as he hit 94 last Sunday.

The South African fell just six runs short of century hitting four sixes and 10 fours in his 48-ball knock and along with Chris Jolley (45 from 33 balls four fours and two sixes).

They helped the Bountymen to 194-4, which proved far too much for Langley Manor, who finished on 87-7.

Neal brothers Brad (1-14 and Ash (1-9) set the tone and Joe Oates (3-24) was the chief wicket taker.

This Saturday, Basingstoke are back in Southern League Premier Division action at Havant.
