Devon Dumplings v N Devon

Wednesday 22 August 2012 at Instow

DD 180-8 N Devon 106 ao (45 overs)

 This was the final game of the year as the last three fixtures were cancelled by rain. Dumplings won the toss and followed Bradman’s advice and batted. Scoring was never easy and it took an unbroken ninth wicket partnership of 48 in 6 overs between Cherrington (30*) and Richard Tidball (17*) to set a fair total to defend.

 North Devon’s reply never really got off to a start with wickets falling regularly from 5-48 becoming 106 all out. Only M. Tyers showed resistance with 42 runs of 72 balls in 94 minutes. Forrester with 3-14 and Wright with 2-15 led the attack to a successful outcome after 38.2 overs. 

 D.D. 180/8 (45 overs; S. Tremain 48, J. Cherrington 30*) BEAT

 North Devon 106 (R. Forrester 3-14, L. Wright 2-15, J. Cherrington 2-14) by 74 runs
