HOLIDAY MONDAY CRICKET – MAY 7
NORTH
Devon earned 20 North Devon League points on Bank Holiday
Monday without playing as Sandford pulled out of a trip
to Instow claiming team-raising problems.
“We got the call on Sunday evening, it's a great shame
but we'll take the 20 points,” said North Devon's Richard
Dart
There was a fourth win in six starts for Braunton in Division
Two as they completed the double over Barnstaple &
Pilton. Having already turned Barum over by 129 runs,
they did it again by a margin of seven wickets. Ed Holmes
had 3-29 as Barum were restricted to 180-8. Tom Popham
(33), Steve Moore (31) and Frank Biederman (31) made runs
for Barnstaple.
Braunton then won at a canter thanks to a superb 82 from
Ian Roberts and an unbeaten 64 from in-form Andy Paddison.
That's three defeats in a row for Barnstaple & Pilton
but they were cheered by some excellent bowling by three
of their youngest players, George McEndoo and fellow colts
Jamie Pow and Ian Wheatley, who sent down four early overs
at a cost of just four runs!
Filleigh II are flying in Division Three after a third
successive win. Martin Collier cracked seven sixes and
nine fours in a splendid 91 and there was good support
from Martin Bailey (37) and James Marsh (28) in a commanding
total of 254-9.
Phil Venn bagged three wickets for Morebath and then top
scored with 75 but that was very nearly half his sides
total as their innings closed on 168, Andy Collier (3-22)
and Nigel Head (3-25) doing damage with the ball.
