Petersfield played their first home league match of the season at the Heath hoping to build on last weeks victory at Dinton.
Field won the toss and elected to bat on a hard, flat track. The opening pair Will Rice and Andy Salmon put on their second successive 50 run partnership before Rice fell in the 12th over. Salmon followed shortly afterwards for an aggressive 30.
Skipper Ash Spencer and John McGuire added another 30 to the total before McGuire fell LBW in the 20th over. This brought Harry Hannam to the crease who along with Spencer took to the Farley attack stroking the ball to all parts of the ground.
They both reached their half century with the pair putting on 131 runs in just 15 overs before Hannam fell for 79.
Chris Russell and Jack Hannam ran well with Spencer adding 46 from the last five overs. Spencer finished unbeaten on 79 with a total of 273 for just 5 wickets.
Blanks and Caddick opened up for Petersfield bowling tight and putting early pressure on Farley, although it was a change of pace in Chris Wood which got the breakthrough.
Ramsey was the only batsman that went at the Petersfield attack bringing up his half century in quick time. The return of Nicky Caddick paid off as he blew away the middle order with a hostile spell of pace bowling. With Ramsey still hitting the ball to all parts of the ground, Spencer turned to veteran Chris Russell whose left arm spin bamboozled the tail picking up two quick wickets. A superb piece of fielding by Harry Hannam wrapped up the innings giving Field a convincing 81 run victory.
