ECB Royal London U17 One-Day Cup
Gloucestershire 154-5
Hampshire 153-7
LECHLADE CC's 15-year-old spinner Harvey Jupp made his debut for Gloucestershire U17s as they made it two wins from two in the Royal London One-Day Cup with a comfortable five-wicket win against Hampshire at Bristol Grammar School.

In a match reduced by rain to 32 overs per side because of rain, Ed Webb (Thornbury) continued his fine form with a commanding 64 not out to see his team home.

Earlier, Gloucestershire won the toss and elected to field.

When Jupp was introduced, the left arm chinaman bowler provided the breakthrough when he trapped Campbell LBW. He then removed the dangerous Middleton caught in the deep. With the fall of wickets Glos were able to apply plenty of pressure on the incoming batters. Jupp got his third wicket when he lured Metzger out of his crease and Milo Ayres (Brislington) completed the stumping.

Hampshire finished on 153-7. Gloucestershire reached the total for the loss of five wickets in 26 overs.

Under-17 coach and Gloucestershire head of talent pathway Tim Hancock said: “This was a good win for the 17s. Due to exams and injuries there were seven changes from the side that beat Somerset the previous week.

“I would like to also say well done to the young lads who came into the side for the first time. Harvey Jupp got key wickets at key times and offers something different to our spin attack."
