Revised page - C Division West round-up – week 17: Allen (pictured) undisputed man-of-the-match for South Devon in win over Brixham |

JACK Allen helped himself to four wickets, and Jonny Martin and Sean Andrews both took three more, as South Devon avenged an eight-wicket hammering by Brixham in the Marsh Road rematch.

Brixham’s top six was much changed from the one that chased 200 to win first time round – and the difference was clear in an all-out total of 129.

After an early duffing-up from Andrews (3-26) and birthday boy Martin (3-28), Brixham were wobbling at 59 for seven with match-pro Mo Shaikh already out.

There is nearly always a comeback in these situations and Brixham got one from Lee Upham (43) and Colin Horrocks (24). They put on 59.

Martin returned after a brief breather to remove Horrocks and two wickets in three balls for Allen had Brixham all out in the 22^nd over.

Tim Robinson (2-17) picked-up a couple of early wickets to keep South Devon honest, but all that did was bring in man-of-the-match Allen sooner rather than later.

Allen struck an unbeaten 56 – ten fours and a six – and Kalen Warne (21no) was with him at the end of a game that lasted just 51 overs from start to finish.

IPPLEPEN 2^nd XI suffered a four-wicket defeat at the hands of  Paignton 2^nd XI.

Pens batting had a collective off-day with a pair of 21s from Freddie Harvey and Matt Quartley as good as it got in a total of 128 all out. Extras added another 37 runs.

Best of the bowling for Paignton was the five-for-33 bag claimed by Jacob Lander. Shresth Bhardwaj (3-17) flushed-out the lingerers.

Paignton made an unimpressive start ­– they were 34 for five after a going over from Jack Edworthy (4-33) ­­ but were rescued by former 1^st XI captain Mark Orchard with a knock of 44 not out.

Sam Kirkup (22) and Ella Gill (17no) kept Orchard company as the deficit was whittled away.

PLYMSTOCK 2nd XI’s miserable season continued with an eight-wicket defeat away to Teignmouth & Shaldon.

Plymstock, long ago resigned to relegation, were all out for 105 in the 37th over of a 45-over game.

Opener Manum Chowdhury was fifth out on 56 for a top score of 30. Ben Whalley made an entertaining 21 off 11 balls.

Liam Gardner (3-13) made early breakthroughs for T&S. Morgan Couch (4-29) got into the middle order.

Teignmouth & Shaldon hurtled to victory inside 13 overs. Couch (48) and Harrison Linnitt (40no) took them most of the way there.

CHUDLEIGH earned the win they needed to stave-off the threat of relegation from the C Division East when they won at Kingsbridge by 40 runs.

The last time Kingsbridge won a game was way back on July 12 when they defeated table-proppers Plymstock 2nd XI by nine wickets. That’s six starts without a win, although thatr record includes a tied game against Brixham.

Chudleigh had more reason to be motivated than their mid-table hosts as they required one more win to stave-off relegation. For them it was mission accomplished.

Chudleigh recovered from a nervy start – they were 31 for three – to post a 45-over total of 230 for six.

Rob Clarke (42) and Will Heather (72) primed the recovery with a stand of 89. Raj Neelam (42no) and Bradley Sercombe (21) added 667 more for the sixth wicket.

Connor Rothwell (2-30) was Town’s only multiple wicket taker. Veteran Neal Peach bowled nine overs at a cost of just 19 runs.

Kingsbridge opener James Westlake passed 650 league runs for the season with a top score of 75 in a reply of 190 for seven. He is averaging a fraction over 55.

Skipper James Fletcher (51) need just 13 more runs to reach 600 after making his third half-century of the summer. Ricky Carr brought up the rear with 24.

Heather staked his regular claim for Chudleigh’s man-of-the match with two wickets for 17 runs from nine overs. Clarke (2-43) was the only other multiple wicket taker.
