Tavistock v Werrington

TAVISTOCK lost the toss and bowled first. Werrington made their intentions clear from the first ball as openers Alex Smeeth and Mark Horwell attacked the bowlers right from the off.

Tavistock opening bowlers of Hendrix and McGahey bowled tight to the stumps but it was the batsmen who began to get the upper hand as they racked up the runs playing some nice shots all around the ground.

A change of bowling brought a wicket as youngster Tom Cummin who bowled five tidy overs managed to have Smeeth well caught by Hendrix in the covers.

Matt Robins came to the crease and started to open up from the word go. Both batsmen reached their 50's in good time but wickets taken by Cummin and Luffman slowed Werrington down toward the end of their innings and after 20 overs they ended up with a total of 160 for 3 with Horswell 60 not out.

Tavistock opened the batting with father and son, Steve and Jake Luffman, and both found it hard to get the ball away against a very tight bowling attack.

Both Steve and Jake got into the 20's but up against a good standard of bowling both were out to fine catches in field as they looked to push the score on.

Hendrix and Gearing also got starts but up against Alex Smeeth they found runs hard to come by. Smeeth picked up both Hendrix and Gearing and youngsters Cummins and Josh Stephens were left not out at the end of the Tavistock innings. Werrington won the game by 58 runs.

Tavistock v Luckett

TAVISTOCK lost the toss and were asked to bat first. They lost an early wicket and this brought Hendrix to the crease to join Tom Cummin.

Both looked in good touch and Hendrix started to play some exquisite shots hitting several big six's.

Cummin got to 20 before he received a very good ball from the impressive Andy Brenton and Gliddon arrived to join Hendrix in the attack. Both continued to push the score along but Brenton was always equal to the task as he continued to take wickets for the visitors.

Hendrix was finally dismissed for a superb 83 of just 14 overs after being well caught on the boundary. Sean Cleave and Freddie Jayarajah produced a couple of quick fire 20s to finally end Tavistock's inning on 149 for 6.

Tavistock opened the bowling with James McGahey and Chris Hutchins and both limited the batsmen to few big shots.

The first wicket fell to the first ball of the innings as the Luckett batsmen chanced a single to Sean Cleave who made no mistake in picking up the ball and hurling it at the stumps for a direct hit.

McGahey also struck with the ball as he had Schuttaker caught behind by Chidzoy.

With Luckett struggling for runs Walker began to open up and he hit several big boundaries and got to 50 in 12 overs.

Walker was finally dismissed for 83 as Jayarajah struck with the ball after Hutchins took a good catch on the boundary.

With Luckett needing 12 to win of the last two overs they hit two successive boundaries and won the game in the last over. Luckett won the match by three wickets.
