Pearson & J. Warner to get the score up to a respectable 80 – 4 as the innings closed.  Plymouth MW’s most successful bowler was D. Goody with figures of 4-1-9-2.

Ackford and J. Dent opened the bowling for Yelverton, and kept it tidy and Plymouth MW struggled to score freely.  Ackford (4-1-4-1) & Dent (4-1-12-1) completed their overs to leave the score on 18-2.  Cooper was brought into the attack and picked up 2 wickets for 13 runs to reduce Plymouth MW to 42-5 with a run out adding to Plymouth’s woes.  B. Carwithen & B. Couldwell gave Plymouth some hope with a 6th wicket partnership of 22. When Carwithen fell for 23, the reply faltered and the innings closed on 69 – 7 when the overs ran out with J. Warner & E. Adams picking up a wicket apiece, leaving Yelverton winners by 11 runs.

Martin off the bowling of N. Summers.  J Douie joined D. Ackford at the wicket and the pair started confidently taking a number of quick singles.  The pair gained in confidence and the boundaries started to flow.  The 50 partnership was posted and then the 100 partnership was posted.  Ackford reached his half century first, followed by Douie reaching his soon after and the partnership stood at 131 when Douie was bowled by Foster-Jones for 51.  Ackford continued on his way but just failed to reach his century ending up unbeaten on 94 as the innings closed on an imposing 170 – 4.  Tideford’s s most successful bowler was T Foster-Jones with figures of 3-0-25-3.

Summers & T. Martin gave Tideford some hope with a 5th wicket partnership of 40, but when Summers  fell for 26 bowled by S. Thursby, the reply faltered and the Tideford innings closed on 90 – 9 when the overs ran out with Martin unbeaten on 32.  Yelverton winners by 80 runs.
