RYAN Bougourd was at it again as Shaldon swept to a 10-wicket win over Topsham St James.

Bougourd, who started the season with Premier side Bovey Tracey, rejoined Shaldon two weeks ago and made an instant impact with 97 and seven for nine in the win over South Brent.

Topsham were bowled out for 46 in Shaldon’s latest outing – Bougourd taking eight wickets for 15 runs before he ran out of overs.

Karl Blackburn (19) and George Thomas (24) needed 9.2 overs to knock off the runs.

Victory keeps Shaldon joint top of the table with Ashburton, who had to work a little bit harder for their six-wicket win at Kenn.

James Gosling (50) had the only double-figure score in Kenn’s total of 110 all out. Next best was opener Ed Bragg with nine.

Gosling was seventh out for Kenn, who collapsed in the face of Ashley Harvey (3-14) and Lloyd White (4-18).

Harvey went in the second over to James Mason, but White (25) and Ashley Berry (60) ensured a max-pointer for Ashes.

Stokeinteignhead hit top gear at Buckland Monachorum, where they amassed 250 for eight then packed off the Moorlanders for 122.

After Chris Prestt (47) and Paul Russell (23) got Stoke up and running, Andy Thornton-Clarke kept the runs coming with 67.

The middle order wobbled against Toby Halloran (4-18), but Mark Russell (20) and Roger Putman (34) got Stoke going again.

Tom Wills (5-24) got into the Buckland early order with Paul Edwards (71) the only batter to resist.

Jamie Clinkett had the last word with four for 44 to finish off the stragglers.

Martin Pearce turned in a man-of-the-match performance for Newton St Cyres in their 52-run win over South Brent.

Skipper Pearce made 55 in St Cyres total of 219 for nine then took three of the top four batters out as South Brent were dispatched for 167.

Yelverton Bohemians bounced back well from a disappointing defeat with a resounding 200-run victory over Exwick.

Yelverton set off at a blistering pace going at six an over before opener Pat Hobbs departed for 20 off 11 balls.

Yelverton continued to push on, before Richard Townsend departed lb for 15. Captain Richard West joined Luke Julyan with the score on 65 off 17 overs, and they continued to push on before Julyan (27) was unfortunately run out backing up after a strong straight drive was deflected on to the stumps by Ross Pascoe.

Pete Losczcyk joined West, and proceeded to launch into a furious attack on the Exwick bowlers, reaching his half century off 19 balls, before eventually falling for 77, including 8 fours and 5 sixes.

West continued the assault, joined by Anis Zubair (8), Geoff Brain (21) and Hadleigh Scott-Kirk (24no), before falling in the final over for 103 off 66 balls.

Exwick got off to a poor start with Losczcyk (2-23) and Sam Crompton (2-17) both picking up wickets in their opening overs, enjoying the extra bounce in the hard pitch.

The fall of wickets continued, and Exwick were 24-4 inside eight overs, and then 53-7 with wickets for West (2-18) and Dan Keylcok (2-13).

Resistance from Howard Rose (48) and Mark Priddle (24), frustrated the Yelverton bowlers before Hobbs (2-5) had Priddle caught behind, and the final wickets fell soon after.

Yelverton travel to table topping Ashburton this week, who they beat twice last year, though can expect a very tough test.
