Burridge skipper Andy Ford has every reason to be happy after leading his club to the Southern Electric Premier League Division 3 championship - and winning the divisional bowling award.

Left-arm spinner Ford's 44-wicket haul was a Division 3 record and helped Burridge snatch a dramatic title triumph at Fair Oak on the final day of the season.

Being relegated from the Premier Division, Liphook & Ripsley didn't have much to celebrate on the cricket front last summer.

But they did pick up the Southern Electric Premier League's award for the most improved ground and pitch marks.

Liphook had received a formal warning about the deteriorating state of their Ripsley Park ground at the end of the 2005 season.

But investment and hard work by club officials led to significantly improved overall marks this summer and the resulting award which Liphook treasurer Richard Liversidge (left) is pictured receiving from Southern Electric Energy Marketing Manager, Ray Smethurst at the SPL's presentation dinner.

Will Young will captain Liphook & Ripsley next season, but will be without off-spinner Alan Crawford, who has joined Middlesex League side Richmond.

Yates, pictured receiving the award from SE Energy Marketing Manager Ray Smethurst (right), made one century and hit seven separate half-centuries for Rowledge, who finished a highest-yet fourth in the table.

Ventnor teenager Danny Briggs returned from the Southern Electric Premier League dinner clutching a surprise memento of one outstanding bowling Division 2 performance this summer.

The 15-year old left-arm spinner, who boosted Ventnor's title cause with 23 wickets, took 7-43 against Hungerford at Steephill in June

Briggs, who has just joined the Hampshire Academy, was presented with a mounted cricket ball by SPL chairman Paddy Heffernan in recognition of his career-best bowling performance.

Hursley Park will be captained by Jimmy Taylor next season and have their newly promoted Second XI playing in Premier League Division 3.
