da bet7: Mike Vimpany09-Jul-2001Lymington have rewritten the Southern Electric Premier League record books for the second consecutive week.Just seven days after Australian Brian Clemow thumped a record-breaking 213 not out against Cove, Lymington piled up the highest-ever Southern League score.Daniel Peacock led the way with 176 not out as Lymington ran up a colossal 384-4 in 50 overs against Premier Division 2 basement boys Old Basing.The total was 32 runs more than the previous best 352-3 scored by Portsmouth against Gosport Borough in 1996.Lymington’s joy – they easily won a rain-affected affair by 141 runs – was complete when previously undefeated Portsmouth sank to a six-wicket defeat by local rivals United Services at St Helen’s.Ironically, record-breaker Clemow missed the run boat against Old Basing, falling for a mere 16.But he sat and watched as Glyn Treagus (71) dominated a second-wicket stand of 106 with Peacock, whose double-century partnership with Ben Craft brought the Old Basing attack to its knees.Peacock’s unbeaten 176 came off only 128 balls and included three sixes and 28 fours.The former Zimbabwe A all-rounder added 208 for the third wicket with Craft, who fired 14 boundaries in a controlled 90, which took Lymington towards 384-4.Old Basing, who have suffered nine heavy defeats since winning the Premier Division 3 title last season, had reached 121-6 (chasing an abridged 261) when a cloudburst ended play.Peacock completed a perfect day by taking 3-42.Portsmouth’s seven-match winning start came to grief against United Services, who chased a rain-cut 234 to win by six wickets with five overs to spare.A century fourth-wicket partnership between Paul Dew (95 not out) and 16-year old Michael Barnes (52) eased Portsmouth to a formidable 254-5.But the city club was unable to stop South African teenager John Geoghegan, whose superbly struck 112 swept US home.Easton & Martyr Worthy trimmed Trojans by 21 runs, but early evening downpours accounted for Sparsholt’s home match with Cove,and Hambledon’s visit to Old Tauntonians & Romsey.
