E DIVISION EAST

IN E Division East Newton St. Cyres skipper was at the crease and unbeaten on 24 with his side 51-3 when rain washed out their game at Countess Wear. Mike Parfitt (16) was the highest scoring batsman back in the Pavilion before Brown and his team mates joined him for an early tea.

   Halberton & Sampford Peverell march on at the top after a four wicket success at home to Hemyock.  Brian Churchill (63) and Nick Allen (21) were the principle scorers for Hemyock, the pair gave their side a solid start with a 40 run partnership for the first wicket before Jerry Turner made the break through. Turner went on to claim 3-17 in ten excellent overs but it was Dave Kruge who took the bowling honours with a magnificent 6-37 in 11 overs and the Hemyock offering ended on 144. Kevin Fever and Tom Sambrook then got their side off to a similar start that Hemyock enjoyed. Fever was out for 36 and Dan Coles (16) then helped Sambrook (28) take the score to 88-2 before a superb spell of bowling from Nick Allen (4-20 in 11 overs) saw Halberton slip to 112-6 only for Paul Mills (14) and then Jerry Turner (25no) and Dave Gollop (7no) see their side to a four wicket win in the penultimate over of the game. Table topping Halberton travel to Newton St. Cyres on Saturday.
