A FINE all-round performance from Mike Mortimer helped secure Burley II's six-wicket victory over Milford-on-Sea II.

With Cliff Bannell, 44, and Alan Varley, 44, top scorers, Milford were dismissed for 141 with Morti-mer, 4-43, and Terry Pate-man, 3-25, the main wicket takers.

Despite Bill Slade claiming 3-31, Mortimer, 65 not out, and Will Brooks, 27, set up Burley's convincing win.

Having dismissed Sway for 91, Mike Howells taking 4-17, Verwood made heavy weather of their reply and were shot out for 71 with Craig Osborne, 4-12, the pick of the bowlers.

Only Jones, 27, looked comfortable against Andy McGregor, 4-18, as Brans-gore II folded for 74 against Bashley (Rydal) IV who cruised to a seven wicket win thanks to Ian Davies' 30 not out.

Nigel Curtis took 5-34 as Fawley III were dismissed for 175 of which Alan Tay-lor scored 67.

But it was all in vain as rain washed out the match before Ellingham III began their innings.

In the West Central Division, Cranborne II advanced to 230-6 after an opening stand of 151 between Paul Walters, 80, and Dave Adam, 93.

Dan Loader then took 4-16 to remove Trojans III for 84 in which Simon Phillps hit an unbeaten 33.

Damerham were indebted to Mark Harper, 39, and Richard Colbourne, 33, for their 126-6, but with Centurions in danger of defeat at 64-7, the match was abandoned without a result due to the rain.
