T20 Match 10
We felt the need to rest three of our front-line players for this match, so it was always going to be a tough challenge.
Ian Cockbain, Gareth Roderick and Ryan Higgins made way for Lawrence Connelly, James Bracey and Matt Taylor.
Graeme van Buuren has recovered from injury, but requires another game off to be fully match fit.
Chris Dent took the captaincy reins for the game.
We asked Hampshire to bat first and thanks to an aggressive 87no from Sam Northeast and a more sedate 37 from opener James Vince, they posted a good score of 156/7.
Considering the circumstances, we were happy with that, but when we were 70/6, it looked far out of reach.
However, the determination of Bracey, Benny Howell and Ferisco Adams saw us fall just short in the end.
Hampshire - 156/3 (S.Northeast-87no, J.Vince-37)
Gloucestershire - 151/7 (B.Howell-40no, J.Bracey-32, F.Adams-31)
Win to Hampshire by 6 runs.
