In 1976 Hampshire began issuing programmes for John Player League Home games on Sundays.

This is the cover of one of those programmes - which included a scorecard in the middle - for the Hampshire v Surrey game at Portsmouth in 1983. It was a game which featured a record breaking unbroken second wicket partnership of 269 between Trevor Jesty 166* and Gordon Greenidge 108*. It was also Trevor Jesty's Benefit Match. In order to read more about that game, go to the My Favourite Game section on this website which is under the Memories Tab at the top of ths Home Page.

Hampshire's best ever bowling figures in a single first-class innings is Bob Cottam's 9-25 in this game between Lancashire and Hampshire at Old Trafford. Lancashire were dismissed in that first innings for 136. Hampshire won a very tense and low-scoring game by 13 runs.
