Devon Cricket Board - Cornwall Home

Cornwall Home

Cornwood again hosted the Cornwall game with the visitors winning the toss and batting. After losing an early wicket to Thomas the second and third wickets put on 137 off two hundred and twenty-five balls. Once Devon had removed James, Lombard and Turpin they forced themselves back into the game. Leading the way was Jack Thomas who took seasons best 5-49 off his nine overs. Cornwall were eight wickets down in the forty-eighth over with 175 on the multy-coloured scoreboard but the ninth wicket pairing put on a disappointing twenty-four off seventeen balls. Devon needed two hundred and their openers reduced the target to one hundred and forty-one when Skeemer was bowled. Dan Pyle fell to the Plymouth College all rounder Dinnis in the twenty-first over but the home side were now well advanced in their chase on 87. The captain Marcus Hoddinott and Reid Mawdsley then put on an unbroken 113 off one hundred and forty-one balls in seventy-seven minutes. Hoddinott reached his fifty off eight-nine balls and end on 83 which included sixteen fours and he batted through the full 42.5 overs. The ever reliable Reid Mawdsley also passed his fifty being fifty-five not out as the target was reached.
