Faber (pictured) flogs second ton in two days in Westleigh win over Nomansland | Two sixes and 16 fours in quick fire knock of 112

WESTLEIGH won by 51 runs at Nomansland in the only Blights North Devon League game played in the latest round of fixtures.

In-form Kyle Faber – fresh from a Devon League ton for Braunton the previous day – scored his second century of the weekend after Westleigh were told to bat first in the 30-overs-a-side Division One game.

Faber’s 112 came off 90 balls, and included 16 fours and two sixes.  He helped put on 86 with fellow opener Will Speed (28) and 70 for the second wicket with Andrew Mackenzie-Shapland (13). 

Selwyn Fisher hit a run-a-ball 14 at the end of the innings that took Westleigh to 188 for eight.

Harry Cracknell took two for 45 for the home side. Ashley Wreyford (0-28) and Jacob Cole (1-32) gave little away.

Richard Pearson (3-12) and James Starkey (1-8) opened the bowling for Westleigh and reduced Nomansland to 12 for four. 

William White (36) and Cole (17) staged a mini-recovery that was halted when Speed dismissed White.

Despite late resistance from captain Elliot Cole (24) and Luke Morphet (14no), James Morris, and Tom Poole took a couple of wickets each to help wrap-up Nomansland’s innings for an all-out total of 137.

Exford conceded their Division Two match away to Victoria Park.

This Sunday’s fixtures: Bideford v Hatherleigh, Bridestowe & Belstone v Heathcoat, North Devon v Westleigh, Barnstaple & Pilton v Victoria Park, Lynton & Lynmouth v Newton Tracey.
