Academy Duo Eve O'Neill And Shristi Patil Sign First Pro Contracts
Spin bowler Eve O’Neill and batter Shristi Patil have signed one-year professional contracts
Tom Prest fell nine runs short of Hampshire's highest individual List A score as Hampshire raced to a convincing victory over Kent at Beckenham.
Nick Gubbins won the toss and chose to bat first.
The captain, who also scored a century, got off to a quick start with fellow opener Nye Donald before their partnership was broken just one run short of 50.
That brought Prest to the crease, who hit a sumptuous drive off Evison to open his boundary count.
The 19-year-old hit 14 fours along with seven sixes on his way to 181 from only 138 balls.
Hampshire ended their innings on 396-5, the club's highest ever total in the format by over 20 runs.
Watch the highlights below.
