Clymping had posted 204-8 from their 49 overs and Salisbury then made immediate inroads into Southwater’s batting line-up with the early wicket of Nick Baker, with the score on five.

Southwater dangerman Johann Brouwer was next to fall to Salisbury, for six, before Salisbury also dismissed Liam Hume (0) and Alex Harding (28) to leave Southwater 62-4.

Off-spinner Paul Challen then took the next three wickets to fall and left-arm spinner Chris Hanks grabbed one to reduce Southwater to 113-8, before Paul Osborne and Daniel Skett held up Clymping’s charge with a 39-run ninth-wicket stand.

But Osborne fell to Chris Hanks after crashing 88 from 97 balls, with 13 fours and one six, and Salisbury then wrapped up the win when he bowled No 11 Rob Schultz for a duck.

Salisbury finished with 5-59 off 14 overs, Challen took 3-50 off 11 overs and Hanks claimed 2-25 from 10 overs.

Karl Pierce added a run-a-ball 42, with seven fours, Richard Hanks struck 33 and Salisbury hit 28.
