Tavistock v Plymstock A

TAVISTOCK won the toss and bowled first. Will Stead and Mikey Cousens opened the bowling with blistering pace.

Stead was the first to strike, bowling the Plymstock opening bat with his third ball; a second wicket fell two balls later when sharp fielding by Tom Cummins and good wicket-keeping by Rhys Davies produced a run-out.

Stead then went on to take four more wickets in a devastating spell of bowling finishing with figures of 5 for 11 off four overs bowled. Will Smith, Tom Cummins, Dom and Nick Scaglioni also picked up a wicket apiece which resulted in Plymstock being all-out for 81.

Tavistock did not get off to the best of starts losing two of their first three batsmen in first two overs. Dom Scaglioni and Mikey Cousens steadied the ship for Tavistock. When Cousens was out Rhys Davies joined Scaglioni and they batted sensibly to improve the score.  

Tavistock then started to lose wickets at regular intervals and only Davies offered any resistance before Tavistock were finally dismissed for 67 and lost the game by 14 runs. Rhys Davies top scored for the home side with 27.

Plympton v Tavistock

TAVISTOCK won the toss and batted first. Tom Cummins and Will Stead opened the batting and wasted no time in attacking the Plympton bowlers both playing some delightful shots all around the ground.

Stead was the first to reach his 50 and went on to make a superb 75 before being caught on the boundary. Tavistock lost a further a wicket and this brought Dominic Scaglioni to the crease and he and Tom Cummins continued to push Tavistock towards the 200 mark. Cummins reached his 50 in good style and finished on 65 not out with Scaglioni finishing on 30 not out off only 11 balls. Tavistock innings ended on 185 for 2 off 20 overs.

Tavistock opened the bowling with the pace of Will Stead and Rhys Davies. A change in bowling brought a wicket as the dangerous Cloud was caught by Scaglioni of the bowling of Will Smith. Smith picked up his second wicket when he clean bowled Gun-Collings for eight.

Tom Cummings four overs of quality pace slowed Plympton's run-rate down. Nick Scaglioni also picked up a wicket after Mikey Cousens produced a sharp bit of wicket-keeping to stump the batsmen and Cousens was involved again minutes later linking up with Rhys Davies to run-out another of the Plympton batsmen.

Plympton finished their innings on 122 for 4 off 20 overs.

Tavistock won the game by 63 runs.
