——————————————————————-
ADRIAN STEPHENSON in 2004 – MEMORIES OF THE 1968 TOUR
Whilst driving down to Brockenhurst last week I revived memories of a Sydenhurst Ramblers tour of 1968. The Bramble Hill Hotel at Bramshaw, near Brook in the New Forest lives on and does not appear to have changed in 36 years – at least from the outside. It only opens at weekends in the winter so I was unable to check the interior. The turret is still there – I remember that was where Rosemary’s room was. I was sharing with someone elsewhere, at least initially, and that was certainly what we told her parents !
I am sure the bar is exactly as it appears in an early photo in our family album. On my way back to the hotel that evening I had proposed to Rosemary – and been accepted, and the photo (to follow) is of a motley crew raising their glasses to toast the occasion (Andrew Hart, Leslie Smithers, Roy Hardy, Ernie Bignell, Michael Gauntlett, Rosemry Atkinson (as was), and Hugh Gauntlett)
I remember the tour started with a game against Ernie Bignell’s new home side Ellingham up on the hill above Ringwood. Being short of a player or two we had managed to enlist the support of a young lad from the Hampshire ground staff, a promising youngster by the name of Trevor Jesty. Although he scored 43 his contribution with the ball was not enough to win us the game and they held out for a draw. The following day we went to Sherborne but the rains never relented and the game was abandoned. I don’t remember the next game against Winchester; I have a feeling we gave that one a miss and had a day on our own. Then it was back to Sherborne again to play the Common Room side which I believe included the England rugby star, Richard Sharp – a full day’s cricket on the school pitch; a delightful setting but another drawn game. I think I made a very undistinguished contribution to the game and perhaps my mind had been elsewhere. Any way it was on the way back to the hotel that evening somewhere in the middle of the New Forest – neither of us can remember exactly where and even whether I even stopped the car – that we became engaged.
Obviously in much happier mood the following day I scored my maiden (and only) century for the Ramblers on the County Ground at Southampton against the Dorset Agrarians – this time Trevor Jesty was in the opposition. We were never really in the hunt chasing 293 – I can’t remember them being particularly generous to keep us in the hunt – but perhaps that’s how I found myself in the 90s towards the close of play. I can however remember the ball that got me past 100. Trevor Jesty fed me a full toss which I very nearly put straight down the throat of mid wicket – luckily he didn’t quite get there and I’m still not sure whether the bowler was being generous or whether it was a deliberate ploy to encourage a rush of blood ! So I got engaged and got my century but the opposition was disgruntled that I hadn’t been more aggressive and got us nearer to their total – oh well, can’t make everyone happy !
The tour was over and it was back to work or rather off to the prospective in-laws to discuss wedding arrangements. I never went on another Ramblers tour, and I never got engaged again either.

Surrey Advertiser report :
Sydenhurst Ramblers sagged to their first ever defeat at the hands of Abingdon on Sunday. They were beaten by three wickets after scoring 188. The game had to be switched from the original venue at the Hales’s meadow ground because of waterlogged conditions, to Abingdon Svhool, where the wicket was fast and true.
After winning the toss, Ramblers made an excellent start with Tony Wood (46) and Nick Harper (47) adding 91 for the first wicket
When these two were out Hugh Gauntlett was able to show his best form this summer with an innings of 31 which included 2 sixes.
But Ramblers failed to keep the hold on the bowling which they had after the fine start. The last five wickets yielded only 50 runs, Brooks finishing with 6-74, and Ramblers were dismissed for 188.
Despite two early losses in reply, Abingdon settled in and Bunce (53), Hilary (69) and Child (24) were able to steer Abingdon to victory. Tony Wood took 3 late wickets in 4.1 overs for 30 runs but the home team reached 190-7 in the last over to win by 3 wickets.
