Sparsholt opener Thomas Viljoen, pictured, has been named Southern Electric Premier League Division 3 Cricketer of the Month for June.

He received a silver salver after scoring 283 runs - 100 against Gosport Borough, 98 off the OTs & Romsey attack and 56 against New Milton - in Sparsholt's three wins last month.

Hampshire Academy all-rounder Liam Dawson won the Premier League award, with Rowledge all-rounder David Lloyd landing the Division 2 prize.

St Cross take on Alton.

St Cross Symondians will play Bashley (Rydal) in next Wednesday's (July 11) first Southern Electric Cup semi-final - provided they win their rain delayed third round tie at Alton this evening (Thurs).

The newly promoted Winchester club progressed to the last eight by beating Fair Oak and Gosport Borough.

But, with so much cricket delayed by bad weather, they have been playing catch up' ever since.

It's the first time for several years St Cross have played in the Electric Cup, but skipper Mark Padwick is optimistic they can reach the quarter-finals, at least.

Heavyweights Havant and Totton & Eling clash in the other semi-final at Hursley Park on Thursday, July 19.

The final is at the Rose Bowl on Thursday August 2.
