North v South  :  East v West  : South v East  :  West v North  : North v East  :  West v South :  home

West v South at Plymouth College Sunday May 8th

An exceedingingly long-winded game, with each side taking 3 ¼ hours to bowl their overs. South put West into bat on a soft pitch. Fletcher and Burke batted sensibly before Burke was run out when the score was 92. Hefford and Nash gave Fletcher support but apart from a late flurry by Webber, West were unable to achieve better than 220-9. Orchard took 3 wickets late on but no other bowler stood out.

South made a slow start with West picking up wickets via the fast bowling of Burke. Lack of accurate bowling support and a very determined and fine partnership between Whittle and Halse saw South creep ever closer to their target. Despite the loss of some late wickets, Whittle saw  South through to a well deserved victory with 224-6. Whitlle top scored with 97, Halse a good 56.

Men of the Match: Whittle (S) and Burke (W)
