EXMOUTH can still finish second in the Premier Division if they get their skates on after winning by three wickets at Exeter.
Sidmouth only need a point to claim the title – and should get that one way or another against Exmouth on the Maer this Saturday. But if Exmouth can beat Sidmouth they stay in the mix with Plymouth and Bovey Tracey for the runners-up spot.
In a season of disappointments for the defending champions, runners-up spot would be partial compensation.
Exeter skipper Miles Lenygon was dismissed second ball against his former club – caught and bowled by Trevor Anning – but that didn’t really matter in the grand scheme of Exeter’s innings.
A second-wicket stand of 61 between Alex Bosomworth (25) and Ben Green soon got Exeter moving.
Bosomworth fell to Jamie Tapper, but Green kept going to make 112 in a total of 265 for seven.
Along the way to his maiden Premier ton, Green put on 110 with Neal Prowse (39) and 68 with Will Steward, who whacked six fours and a couple of sixes on his way to a rapod 53 off 25 balls.
Green was out with an over to go having hit 14 fours from 147 balls faced in a 161-minute stay.
Exmouth’s bowling figures were mixed with Gary Chappell taking three for 64 – expensive for the usually miserly left-armer – and Anning bagging two for 34.
Bob Dawson (0-32) kept it tight for 10 overs without taking a wicket.
Exmouth suffered an early setback with skipper Richard Baggs was bowled by former team-mate George Greenway, who moved on during the winter.
A 75-run stand between Sandy Allen (63) and Seb Benton (70) got Exmouth moving in the right direction and when Allen went Benton carried on with Andy Buzza and Dawson, who jointly put on 78.
When Benton was out at 186 for six, the chase was taken up by David Lye (48no) and Anning (29), whose 47-run partnership clinched the game.
Exeter, destined for mid-table, are away to Sandford this Saturday.
