Weather had put paid to the original date for the Under 15s Tournament in early August, but the 23rd dawned and it was glorious sunshine at Cornwood Cricket Club as the teams from Exeter, Plymouth, Paignton and Sidbury arrived. Hospitality at Corwood was excellent as ever, with bacon sandwiches already cooking and teas and coffees flowing. The use of the two pitch venue would hopefully prevent the dawn until dusk under 15 day from last year! 

Beautiful view across both Cornwood's pitches
