The Mid Devon side were then bowled out for 127 with only Gary Farley making much impression with 25 as Kevin Brandon took 4-35 to help Feniton to a win that keeps their hopes alive and they will want to have Exeter still within catching distance when the side meet on the final day of the season at Acland Park.
North Devon III bagged their first win of the league season with a nine wicket triumph at home to Axminster II. Chris Ledbetter (35) and Dave Gadsden (17) led Axminster to 126 all out with Rob Mann (4-38) and Ray Clarke (3-22) the principle wicket takers.
