BOVEY Tracey’s Farhaan Behariden signed off with a 77-run leaving present, before heading off to Australia, in yesterday’s 91-run win over Cornwood in the Tony Pryce Sports Devon Cup.
South African Behardien learned last month he has been selected for the national U25 side for an emerging players’ tournament in Queensland.
Yesterday’s game was his last before leaving the club – and he won’t be coming back when the tournament is over either.
His 77 off 62 balls with three sixes and six fours helped Bovey compile 243 for six in 40 overs, which was always going to be a tall –order for Cornwood to overhaul.
Cornwood had a bash at the start – they were 44 for none after seven overs – but trying to keep up with the rate proved beyond them and they meandered to 108 for six then 152 all out.
Barton collapsed from 31 for three to 37 for seven – Will Murray (3-12) doing the damage – and there was no way back after that.
Alex Ali (18) and Jack Porter (39) salvaged something by putting on 57 for the eighth wicket, but Barton’s tally of 98 all out wasn’t exactly challenging.
Tavistock’s game against Exeter has been postponed until later in the month.
Through, too, are Plymouth on the back of an eight-wicket win over Paignton at Peverell Park.
Paignton were all out for 102 with four of their 40 overs to go – Dave Burke (pictured above) helping himself to four of their wickets for 25 runs.
Jack Little (22no) (left) and Callum Whittaker led Plymouth home after James Toms (20) laid the foundations.
Barton 98 (J Porter 39; W Murray 3-12, C Williams 2-1, N Hancock 2-20, S Barlow 2-19), Sidmouth 102-2 (N Hancock 53no, C Williams 33no). Sidmouth bt Barton by 8 wkts.
Bovey Tracey 243-6 (F Behardien 77, B Ayres 53, L Ames 39, A Kingdon 30; M Butterworh 3-57, K Willcock 3-48), Cornwood 152 (J Nash 35, K Willcock 25, Mansfield 23; C Bradley 3-23, F Behardien 2-22). Bovey Tracey bt Cornwood by 91 runs.
Paignton 102 (R Shergold 20; D Burke 4-25, S Marks 3-15), Plymouth 103-2 (C Whittaker 40, J Little 22no). Plymouth bt Paignton by 8 wkts.
Aaron Williams (47) and Glenn Lammonby (46) were the main run getters in Exeter’s total of 186 for six
