East Devon U11s v South Devon U11s 2012
East Devon Under 11s v South Devon Under 11s
 
Sunday 15th April, Woodbury Cricket Club
 
South Devon 132-6 (E Adams 47) drew with East Devon 117-8 (B Sapiecha 29; S Carpenter 3-28)
 
In their first Inter District match of the season the East won the toss and elected to field on a soft, slightly green pitch in sunny but windy conditions.

 

East started with tight bowling, the South scoring 7 runs off the first 8 overs for the loss of 1 wicket, Rory Simpson LBW to the forth ball from Kersley Sutton.  Haydn Lidstone and Elliot Adams then batted sensibly taking the South through to drinks.  The first ball after drinks brought a wicket with Lidstone (15) out to a high swirling catch taken by Ben Sapiecha off spinner Max Mejzner.  Sam Taylor came to the crease looking to push the score along putting on 39 with Elliot Adams who was bowled playing across the line to a straight ball for a sensible 47.

 

When the East batted they were soon in trouble losing 2 wickets in the first 3 overs, Max Mejzner caught off the 3rd ball after a leading edge and Sam Corney eager to run having nearly been run out first ball, was run out 5 balls later.  Ben Sapiecha and Oliver O’Livey steadied the ship and took the East to drinks without further loss.  The match was evenly poised at this point but the loss of O’Livey (14) and Sapiecha (29) saw the East slip behind the run rate and new batters coming and going regularly to tight bowling by the South.  Tom Jeacock and East captain James Gregson saw out the remaining overs for a draw.
