On a tense final Saturday Hythe 2's beat Milford on Sea by 6 wkts to take the points needed to win the South West 2 title. Ellinghams game at Bournemouth was call off so all eyes were on Jones Lane.
Hythe won the toss and elected to field first. Mike Bowman elected to open with Luke Blackwell and Simon Wright and it was Wright who claimed first scalp when Saunders caught Gregory for 7. The Brown brothers moved the score onto 36 before two wickets fell in quick succession. D.Brown was bowled by Wright before Mills caught J.Brown off the bowling of Saunders for 12. Wright claimed his 3rd wicket at 53 when he had Bockhart caught by Powell for 8.
Two more wickets fell before drinks - Saunders bowling Bond for 7 and Boynton for 2. 79 for 6 at drinks. Soon after Lee Powell had Adkin judged LBW for 0. A stand of 31 between Ferrar and Torah delayed tea. But in the 32nd over after 7x4's Powell bowled Ferrar for 47. White came on to dismiss Hunn with his 4th ball - caught between his two balls crossed legged. Milford all out 118.
With Ellingham in attendance Hythe set about their title winnings innings. Ferrer was up for ruining the party and had Tongs caight for 1 in his first over. Skipper Mike Bowman and Simon Dixon added 30 before Dixon was caught off Ferrar for 12. Hythe 32 for 2 off 9. Bowman and Dave Guymer doubled the score beforte Bowman was caught off Brown for 23. Luke Mills joined Guymer and by drinks the score had moved onto 95 for 3. Guymer fell shortly afterwards for 41 - 5x4's in his innings. Mills and Kev James saw Hythe through to the win in the 26th over. Mills finishing 18* Kev James 5*
