Yelverton Bohemians v Newton St Cyres

YELVERTON Bohemians first team bounced back with a dominant win over Newton St Cyres at Langton Park.

After winning the toss and bowling first, the home side took an early wicket following a mix up with the Newton batsmen — Geoff Brain and Dan Keylock combining to complete the run out of Chris Collyer.

The introduction of Dan Keylock (1-9), replacing the economical Pete Lojszczyk (0-8), bought a second wicket, and the next over Sam Crompton (1-23) joined in, reducing Newton to 20-3.

A small period of resistance followed, without Newton really managing to get away. In the 21st over, Hadleigh Scott-Kirk picked up a wicket in his first over, and a accurate spell the wickets began to tumble, Scott-Kirk finishing with figures of 4-3, supported by Pat Hobbs (2-8) and Dan Cooper (1-1).

With a low total of 68 to chase, Yelverton openers Julyan (3 not out) and Hobbs started cautiously, with two off the first over, before Hobbs opened up, taking 16 and 13 off the next two overs.

The assault on the Newton bowlers continued, with Hobbs reaching 53, and Yelverton their total in eight overs to win by ten wickets.
