Goodchild then led the Okehampton fightback with a valuable 37, first in partnership with Ewen and then with Alford (18). As Okehampton looked to be posting a reasonable total, Tamblin struck with 3-27.
Clift added a spirited 17 no, before Davies mopped up the innings with the last 2 wickets. Okehampton all out for 126.
Whitchurch got off to the worst possible start with Hodge out, first ball. A partnership of 109, dominated by Barriball (77), with Hall, swung the game Whitchurch's way.
