DAY 1 CLOSE Newclose IOW Hampshire Cricket 288-6 v Notts. Donald 35*.

Cracking day at Newclose IOW today. Weather held off, despite looking a bit iffy on a couple of occasions, the play was entertaining and there was a healthy attendance; probably close to 2,000 at times. All in all a great day for cricket on the IOW.

Great day yesterday and today the sun is shining for day 2 ☀️ Hampshire Cricket v Nottinghamshire CCC match! Starting at 11🏏
