JAMES White lashed a century to put Tavistock on course for an eight-wicket win over Ivybridge.

Ivybridge made a respectable 241 for seven in the full 45 overs – opener Harvey Johnson making 122.

White raced to 105 off 86 balls and by the time his opening stand with Steve Luffman was broken on 181 there was only one likely outcome.

“We knew there was 250 in the wicket,” said Tavistock skipper Shaun Daymond. “And James and Steve batted superbly and did what was needed.”

Luffman made 88 before he was second out with the scores level. Dave Manning came out to watch from the other end as Billy Barriball (29no) hit the winning runs.

Earlier, Johnson was involved in stands totalling 230 and was still there with nine balls to go when Dom Snyman (2-56) got him out.

Will Scott-Munden (3-52) was Tavistock’s leading wicket taker. Daymond – nine overs bowled for 22 runs given away – was the cheapest bowler.
