Filleigh keep survival hopes alive by beating Kents

FILLEIGH are still fighting for survival in the E Division East after beating fellow strugglers Kentisbeare by nine wickets.
Rory Thomas made the top score of 47 for Kents, and Tom Bunker chipped in with 25, in a total of 168 all out.
There there three wickets each for Gary Henry (3-33), Mike Prideaux (3-43) and Ryan Bowden (3-42).
Mark Prideaux led tihe Filleigh charge with 97 and took the chase past 100 with Bowden (23).
McAuley Harrison-Hooton was 24 not out when the winning runs were knocked off.
Filleigh stay in the bottom two, but have moved within 12 points of Shaldon, the team they have to get ahead of to stay up.
Filleigh have play-off chasers Uplyme this Saturday before a potential winner-takes-all game against Shaldon on the last day of the season.
BARNSTAPLE & Pilton struggled for runs away at Seaton, where they went down by six wickets.
A sluggish start – they were 39 for four was part of the problem – and 81 for eight wasn’t a lot better.
Skipper Steve Moore batted 20 overs for 30 not out in a total of 116 for nine., Sean Cole made 23.
Seaton had the runs knocked off inside 22 overs, thanks largely to Mark Bray (30) and Joel Seward (24).
Brady Saunders had two for 51 for B&P, who don’t have to worry about relegation any longer as none of the bottom two can overtake them.
Shaldon are the visitors to Taw Meadow this Saturday afternoon.
