was
taken (30-0 off 14 overs)- then a review of the match to 40 overs
each meant Devon had 26 overs remaining. The openers immediately
pushed on before Iain Crombie (21) and David Wrench (42), who played
superbly, picked up the tempo taking eventually one too many risky
single- 68 partnership off 11 overs. Will Murray and Joel Seward
then added 18 off the last 2.2 overs to give Devon the impetus and
a score of 162-4 off their 40 overs.
In dry windy conditions
Oli Robinson struggled but decided he had had enough (after 1 over!)
and was replaced by Gary Chappell whose first ball was wonderfully
caught by Joe Smith one handed diving at short extra cover. Joel
Seward bowled well before Robinson replaced him and Danny Carroll
took a fantastic catch to remove the dangerous Rhys Wilson diving
forward at cover point. Chappell who bowled very accurately then
bowled O Jones. Smith took another great catch before Carroll took
a stunning one handed mid air catch off a powerfully hit shot in
the covers to remove Williams.Chappell took his third wicket, Harry
McDowel had A Jones well caught behind by Dan Hardy off an inside
edge and there was a run out before Crombie, that "20 looking
year old", took two wickets and Wales were left clinging on
for survival as the overs ran out. 135-9 off 40 overs.
Another well earned win
for the much improved Devon Under 14's.
