FILLEIGH came a cropper by 57 runs at Countess Wear, who knocked up 255 for seven then bowled them out for 198.
Dave Harkness (60) and Kam Singh (51) were the main run scorers in Wear’s tally.
Although James Popplewell (54) and Ryan Bowden (45) made progress for Filleigh, they were bowled out by Par Singh (3-48) and Carl Downes (4-25).
Filleigh are at home to Honiton this Saturday.
Honiton’s 135-run defeat at home to D Division champions-elect sees the Mountbatten Park men slip back into the thick of the relegation battle.
The problem for Honiton was not that they fell to all-conquering Clyst Hydon who most teams this season have gone down to, their angst was increased by wins for all three of the morning’s basement sides!
Kev Conway top scored with 84 and there were 30 extra’s in a Honiton total of 186 which was woefully short of the visitors offering of 321-3 in which Tom Cligg claimed 2-62.
Honiton’s last three starts with Saturday’s trip to Filleigh after which they go to Halberton and Sampford Peverell and then end their season at home to promotion chasing Shaldon Optimistic.
Seaton gave their D Division promotion bid the perfect boost as they beat Ashburton by 90 runs and then learnt of a surprise defeat for rivals Shaldon at Halberton and Sampford Peverell.
Nick Beedell top scored with 57 whilst Mark Bray (34), Mike Wheeler (31) and Joe Berry (36) all chipped in towards the closing total of 242-8. When the visitors bated Phil Collins claimed 3-25 whilst Joe Berry (2-23), skipper Ben Morgan (2-32) and Ben Libby (2-38) also took wickets as the final wicket fell on 152.
The victory and that surprise result in Mid Devon means Morgan’s men sit two points behind Shaldon who they play next in South Devon on Saturday.
Seaton follow the Shaldon game with matches against the current bottom two, Feniton (home) and Countess Wear (away), so what is crystal clear is that Saturday’s trip to South Devon is going to be the one in terms of the Seaton bid to start next season back in the C Division.
Feniton powered to a superb 130-run home win over Uplyme and Lyme Regis.
Typical of the campaign the Acland Park side have endured that, on the day they net a rare success the other two sides in the bottom three also win!
However, what it all mean sis that, with three games to play and 66 points to battle for, Feniton are now within catching distance of no fewer than four teams in the race to avoid a bottom two finish.
Adi Pullin (51), and Brian Cann (41), put on 105 for the opening wicket. Number three bat Mark Kingdon chipped in with 28 and then teenager Josh Cann (39) and John Pyle (18) put on 39 for the fifth wicket as Feniton closed on 248-8.
Mark Brimmacombe claimed 3-53 from 8.4 deliveries for the visitors.
Kingdon then became the star of the home bowling as he took five wickets to finish with figures of 5-40 from nine overs. John Pyle (3-28) and Brian Cann (1-15), were the other wicket takers whilst 15-year-old Cann junior held four catches behind the wicket as the visitors were bowled out got 118.
Only Adam Caddy and Jed Whittingham posted double figure scores for the side as they were bowled out for 118.
Feniton remain bottom, but sixth placed Filleigh are just 21 points above them with 66 to play.
It may be well be home comforts that save Graham Tucker’s side for they host Halberton and Sampford Peverell on Saturday, when a win would see them climb out of the bottom two, before travelling to Seaton and the completing their campaign at home to Ashburton on August 31.
