That was far too many for the Devonians who were bundled out for just 99, number seven Nick Ward’s 26 the best of them.

Luckett Seconds were thrashed by 152 runs at promotion-hopefuls Menheniot-Looe Seconds.

The hosts racked up 232-7 despite braces for Martin Budden (2-57) and Gareth Clements (2-34), before dismissing Luckett for just 80, nobody making more than Stephen Brown’s 28.

Launceston Seconds secured a solid victory at home to Pencarrow with debutant Tyler Westlake to the fore.

He made 60 from number three in their 177-7 which was boosted by contributions from Josh Theobald (40) and Peter West (21no).

Emma Barnes produced the remarkable figures of 9-62 from her 10 overs in South Petherwin Seconds’ defeat at their St Neot counterparts in Division Six East.

With the hosts having got off to a flyer at 132-0, Barnes almost single-handedly kept them in the contest with eight of her wickets being bowled.
