OPENER Pete Shepherd scored a century to set Devon Over-50s on their way to a massive 225-run win over the Isle of Wight in the National Over-50s' Championship.

    Bovey Tracey's Shepherd made exactly 100, and there were chip-ins from Exmouth's Julian Page (27), Sandford pair Bob Eames (33) and Chris Theedom (45) and Hatherleigh's Nick Rogers towards a Devon total of 276 for five.

    Sandford's Mike Canning them claimed three wickets for seven runs, and there were two-wicket returns for Jon Jenkins (Chagford) and Francis Pyle (Shobrooke Park) as the Islanders were skittled out for 51. None of the batsmen made a double-figure score.
