Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 5th August
Wins for both the 1st's and 3rd's but defeat for
the 2nd's.
We start at Harewood where the 1st's recorded a
nail biting single run win over high flying
Hatherleigh.
Match report from Capt Craig: -
After winning the toss we batted first. We lost
Dangerous quite early but Waltz and Deggy put
together a good partnership that laid a platform
for later in the innings. After Waltz was run
out backing up (no luck) and Harry out LBW,
Justin batted well finding the boundary on a
regular basis and with support from Deggy, Alex
and Wrenchy we posted 167-9 from our 50.
In the field although not getting an early
breakthrough the run rate wasn't proving too
much to worry about and knowing our surface our
spinners would have the say in who won the game.
Wrenchy, Deggy and the old man (Donners Snr)
bowled well taking wickets at key times. Alex
nipped a couple out and with some good catching
we were well in the game.
Hatherleigh needed 11 of the final over and
ended up one short on 166-8. Bit tense but it
wouldn't be Plympton if it wasn't!
Thanks to Bev Walter for scoring and Mar
Walter for teas, it is really
appreciated. Local derby to look forward to
next week!
Popping over to Plymouth College where the 3rd's
hosted Tavistock and we have a report from Capt
Sean: -
3s Report Vs Tavistock 2s 5th Aug
The pitch at Plymouth College was somewhat green and damp. Unfortunately Sean
lost the toss again and we were put into bat. Paul (30) and Jesse (25) put on a
solid opening stand of 65 in difficult circumstances with the ball swinging and
seaming. Paul was the first to go in the 18th over unfortunately Freddie did not
last too long middling one straight to the fielder. Jesse soon followed bringing
together Jason and Jonty to put on a quick fire partnership of 37 before Jonty
(12) chipped one to a fielder. Tom then joined Jason (41) who was out LBW
shortly afterwards. Tom(18) then held the innings together with wickets falling
at the other end. Tom was the last wicket too fall in the 42nd over. It was a
good innings from him to ensure that we used most of our overs as Tavistock were
giving away extras throughout, with the wide count reaching 36.
Once in the field we opened the bowling with the
left arm pace of Jonty (4 overs 0-16), when he
got his line right it caused a few problems for
the batsmen. At the other end Sean (5 overs 0-9)
kept things steady. After 9 overs Tavistock were
28 for no wicket. The spin twins of Jason (9
overs 5-31) and JCB (9 overs 4-43) dismantled
the Tavistock batting. Only the No. 10 batsmen
(42) played sensibly and scored some runs. He
was removed by Tom, bowling him around his legs.
Again our fielding was good with the team
working together to chase down the ball and
catching just about every chance. Tom
particularly stood out with his run saving feats
on the boundary.
All in all a good day and 19 points.
The 2nd's had a tough trip to Exmouth - which is
always a toughie. Exmouth batted first and
posted 236-9 in their 45 overs. In reply we
didn't get close.

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 29th July
Heavy rain ensured that there was no play on
Saturday but the Sunday team not only got a game
in, but won handsomely against Ivybridge.
Ivybridge won the toss and elected to bat but
two early wickets each from Drapes (2-17) and
Tom (2-17) put the skids under the visitors,
reducing them to 27-4. The Ivybridge middle
order offer some resistance but wickets
continued to fall and Ivybridge were all out for
103 off 36.3 overs. Olly M took 2-12 and a run
out, Jason 2-16 and JCB 1-27. James has to have
a mention as although he didn't take any wickets
he bowled 5 over for a miserly 6 runs.
In reply, Jesse made 14 before falling with the
score on 25 but this was the only blip to the
innings as Ben (39 not out) and Olly G (42
not) out saw us over the finish line in the 26th
over.

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 15th &
Sunday 16th July
A déjŕ vu weekend with wins for the 2nd's and
3rd's but defeat for the 1st's.
The 1st's hosted Ivybridge at Harewood looking
to make amends for their defeat at Filham Park
earlier in the season.
Ivybridge won the toss and chose to bat on a
decent looking strip which they put to good use
chalking up early runs. At drinks they were
120-1 and were looking at posting a hefty total.
Eventually Ivybridge reached 216-7 when the 50
overs were up. Jamie took 2-33, Jacob
2-36, James 1-29 and Hakeen 1-33 and a run out.
In reply we got off to the worst possible start
losing Harry and James early. Sadly wickets
continued to fall too regularly and chasing the
game we were 149 all out in the 45th over. Buns
top scored with 30, Alex made 29, Jacob 24 not
out and Elliot, on debut, 20.
The 2nd's undertook their longest trek of the
season but returned from North Devon with a win
under their belt and 19 points in the bag.
Capt Selly won the toss and put the home side in
to bat. A couple of early wickets for Drapes and
one for Selly had North Devon in trouble at
10-3. A bit of fight from the middle order
helped North Devon towards three figures but a
superb 5 for 40 from Jamie helped us bowl the
hosts out for 128 in the 36th over. Selly took
2-14 off 9, Drapes 2-25 off 9 and Tom took 1-29.
Although Tim remained wicketless his miserly
bowling only conceded 8 runs off 5 overs.
In reply batting proved just as tough for our
top order as we were reduced to 18-3. Again some
middle order stability from Todd (a match
winning 39 not out) and 25 from Po got us back
on tracks. However wickets kept falling and we
were 8 down when we crossed the winning line.
Ciaran made 16, Tom 13 and Jesse 12.
The 3rd's went run crazy at Delgany against
Ashburton. After being put in to bat, openers
Paul (58) and Sam (25) put on 87 for the 1st
wicket before both fell in quick succession. Ed
took the game away from Ashburton with a
thumping 92 off 44 and 57 not out from Jason off
32 balls helped the score along to 294. Dan was
28 not out at the end.
In reply three early wickets slowed the visitors
run chase down. Opener Nicholls batted the
innings for 74 not out but Ashburton ended on
179-6 when the 45 overs were up.
Jason took 2-40, Josiah 1-9 off 9 overs, Capt
Sean 1-3 off 6 overs, Nith and Ed got one wicket
each and Olly Smith on debut only conceded 5
runs off 4 overs.
The following day the Sunday team travelled to
Babbacombe. We have a match report from our
honorable President Bev: -
A great performance by Maynard's Marauders at
Babbacombe on Sunday.
Neal won the toss and batted first. James Degg
and Jesse Sandhu opened. First wicket stand of
109 when Jesse was out for a "patient" 27. James
went on to get 87,Tom Shears 15,Sam Agnew 29 and
we finished the 40 overs on 194 for 6.
After a tea ( that delighted Matt Draper because
it was much more plentiful than Saturdays at
North Devon) Babbacombe were soon in trouble
when a pinpoint throw from Jack Sellick took out
one of the opening bats.
Matt and Connor Lesslie finished 6 over spells
each with identical figures of 1 for 33. Then
JCB and Nithin weaved their magic (when the ball
pitched and Nithin learned to catch) and ran
through the rest of the batting. JCB:-5 for 19
and Nithin 2 for 26.
A really good day and a great big thanks to
Neal who, after getting married last
Saturday (8th July) drove from Newquay and
then spent all afternoon before tea umpiring
and didn't even get a bat.
The only down of the day was the bloke
committing murder on the mike at the local pub!
Dave Shears thought he was great.

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 8th July &
Sunday 9th July
Joy for both the 2nd's and 3rd's but woes for
the 1st's.
The 1st's travelled the short distance to
Plymstock where Craig won the toss and asked the
hosts to bat. The bowlers were quickly on top
reducing Plymstock to 39-6 but an unbeaten 81
from Scott Mansfield guided the tail to a
respectable 180-9 when the 50 overs were up.
Hakeem took 3-26, Craig 2-22, Alex 2-33 and
there was a wicket each for Jamie and Jacob.
In reply Waltz and James overcame the early loss
of Dave to take our score to 77 before Andy was
stumped for 47. Sadly our innings went downhill
from there with James (28) and Justin (25) the
only other players to make double figures. A
disappointing innings ended on 145 all out.
The seconds won a real nail biter at Harewood
beating Plymouth by 1 wicket. Here is Capt
Selly's report: -
On Saturday the 2's hosted Plymouth in the 1st
game after the turnaround. Plymouth won the toss
and decided to bat. Once again Plympton's
opening bowlers took early wickets and reduced
Plymouth to 42 for 4 with Mathew Draper (2 for
18) and skipper Adam Sellick (2 for 22). After
this wickets and runs came at an even rate until
Plymouth captain Gareth Hughes came to the
crease hitting 39 off 42 balls.
All the Plympton bowlers pegged away and bowled
Plymouth out for 183. Elliot Hamilton took 2 for
34 and Tim George 2 for 41. The innings was
ended with a run out by Todd Rossouw which was
surprising after Plympton put in a below par
fielding display, a very rare thing this season.
Plympton went out to bat high in confidence
that comes from 2 straight wins. Rob walker (8)
looked sharp pulling the 3rd ball for 4 and
setting the tone only to be caught out by a ball
keeping a little low on him. Charlie O'Higgins
scored a brisk 14 before being caught.
This brought Ben Privett to the crease. Ben is
new to the club and shows every time he plays
what a great potential he is and what a huge
asset he will become for Plympton CC. Ben joined
Elliot with the score at 30 for 2 and the pair
dug in a batted us through a sticky patch,
Elliot (8) was given out by the Plymouth umpire
(which we all knew was going to happen after
Elliot's 104 not out at Plymouth) when the score
was on 61 for 3. A small flurry of wickets and
we were reduced to 82 for 5.
Still needing 102 to win Tim George joined Ben.
Ben (32) who batted with great maturity and
rotated the strike to allow the more experienced
Tim George the ability to pick off the bad
bowling scoring 37 off 35 balls and putting us
back in the driving seat. Both batsman fell in
quick succession and the game was back in the
balance again. Jamie Bailey carried on his
decent form with the bat with an unbeaten 32.
When Skipper Adam Sellick came out to bat at
number 11 Plympton were 164 for 9. Some good
running and an over throw gave us a 6 off one
ball and a couple of hearty drives from Sellick
and Plympton sneaked over the line to record
their 3rd straight win and collect 19 points. We
are 5th in the league only 3 points behind
Exmouth.
The 3rd's travelled to Delgany to take on
Plymouth and won by 5 wickets with 10 overs to
spare.
On Sunday, the Sunday team travelled to
Kingsbridge. Match report from Jon Goulder: -
A good effort by the Sunday League team against
Kingsbridge this afternoon. Neal Maynard handed
over the Captain's reigns to me whilst he
concentrated on his wedding!
We lost the toss and Kingsbridge choose to bat
on a pitch that looked like it had more to offer
the bowlers. Conner Leslie and JCB opened the
bowling and kept things reasonably tight. JCB
got the breakthrough taking opener and
Kingsbridge's overseas player Bhanu De Silva for
21. After this runs and wickets came at a fairly
even tempo.
Despite managing to restrict Kingsbridge to
139-9, their first team opening batsman, James
Westlake (batting at 8), managed to put on a
total of 80 taking the total onto 204 before JCB
took the last wicket.
Some great bowling today, with the highlights
being:
Nithan Golpalakrishnan 4-27
JCB 2-28
Jack Sellick 2-36
Catch of the game went to Tom Shears with a low
one handed catch at short mid-wicket.
Having bowled them out with 6 overs to spare, we
came out to bat with high hopes. Sam Agnew and
Jesse Sandhu opened and although they both
looked like they were getting into their stride,
unfortunately lost their wickets early on.
Oliver Goulder and Tom Shears settled in well
together at the crease and pushed the score onto
42 before Tom (17) was caught out. Jack Sellick
provided good support to Goulder, putting on 23
before also being caught. After Olly Maynard and
I failed to provide any real support to Oliver
Goulder, JCB came out and adopting his usual
aggressive style set about the Kingsbridge
bowlers. By now Kingsbridge had brought D'Silva
into the attack. Whilst Goulder battled well
against him it was too much in the end and he
was bowled for a well deserved 48. The score was
now on 121-7. The tail enders fought hard and
managed to take the score onto 179 before the
final wicket fell, with JCB bowled for a quick
fire, but sensible 39 and only 6 balls
remaining. So despite falling 26 runs short,
this was a great all round team performance
against a team with 3 first teamers drafted in.
The game was played in the spirit of the Sunday
League with everyone getting fully involved on
both sides.
Thank you to Jesse and Drapes for helping me out
with the Captaining role. Big thank you to Bev
Walter for scoring and Adam Sellick for
umpiring.

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 1st July
What a day! A hat-trick for Plympton Cricket
Club with all three side registering wins!
Starting at Harewood where Budleigh Salterton
were the visitors. Budleigh's line up included
Somerset leg break bowler Max Waller and
Ex-Devon all rounder Trevor Anning.
Budleigh won the toss and with the recent heavy
rain, put us into bat. Plympton found scoring
runs hard to come by with wickets falling
regularly. At the first drinks break the signs
were ominous with the score on 38-4 and Harry
off the field with an injury. Justin top scored
with 34 and Harry returned to partner Donners
when all of the other batmen were dismissed. The
last pair took the score from 114 to 140 when
the overs ran out.
With the sun drying the wicket, Budleigh's
innings progressed relatively smoothly. Jacob
and James had a couple of breakthroughs but at
108-2 with lots of over left, there looked like
there would only be one winner. However when
Trevor Anning was dismissed by James for
5, things took a turn for the better for the
home side. Jacob removed opener Matt Junk for
57, James bagged a couple more wickets for a
handful of runs and a run out reduced Budleigh
to 130-7. The visitors must still have been
favourites needing only 11 more runs to win but
Jacob cleared up the last three wickets to give
Plympton a break taking win by 2 runs. Jacobs
superb figures were 5-28 and James's were
equally impressive at 4-43.
The 2nd's travelled up to Budleigh and took the
points. Here is Selly's match report: -
Plympton 2s vs Budleigh Salterton
2s.
On a very warm sunny day,
Budleigh won the toss and decided to bowl first
on what looked a good track. Losing a wicket
with the score on 3 was not the start we wanted.
Making his club debut Ciaran Grey (4) put on 33
with Rob Walker (51) taking us to 36 when Ciaran
was caught at slip. This brought in James Carr
(49) who built on the decent start and worked
towards a good total. Chris Dawe (31) batted
well and we ended up 186 all out. Tim George was
left stranded 11 not out as we failed to bat our
overs out.
With 186 to defend early wickets
were always going to be key to the game. Matt
Draper once again bowled well taking 3 for 25
off his 9 overs. When Tim George (1 for 38) took
a wicket in the 20th over Budleigh were 81 for
4. Opener Ian Messom who had retired hurt after
getting hit on the foot returned to the crease.
We thought this was the key partnership we
needed to break and they went on to add 51 runs.
A bowling change and skipper Adam Sellick (1 for
37) came back into the attack and got the
breakthrough with Budleigh 132 for 5. Tom
Richards playing 2s after a stint in the first
team set about slowing the run rate. Bowling his
1st 5 overs for 13 runs, he then
bowled his next 3.5 overs taking 4 wickets for
18 runs. The last wicket fell with Budleigh
needing 7 to win.
Special mention needs to go to
the team spirit and effort of all the lads. Matt
(Gruffalo) Draper bowled, fielded and took 2 of
his 3 catches well.
Ben Privett bowled 3 overs at the
death with maturity and held his nerve very
well. Ciaran Grey, Sam Agnew and Ben Privett
pulled out some top class fielding on the
boundary saving us plenty of runs and keeping us
in the hunt for the win.
Thank you also to John Agnew for
scoring.
A great team performance and a
massive 19 points, half way through the season
we sit 5th in the table with 107
points.
Well done to all the other sides
on a great weekend for Plympton cc
The 3rd's hosted Cornwood 3rd's and winning the
toss, invited the visitors to bat. Wickets fell
regularly and were shared around the Plympton
bowlers. Cornwood were all out for 144 off 35
overs. Ed took 3-22, JCB 2-7, Josiah 2-20, Jason
1-20, Evie 1-21 and Tom 1-35. Capt Sean remained
wicket less but only leaked 13 runs off his six
overs.
In reply, the early loss of Richie didn't hamper
the run chase. Tobin top scored with a great 63
before Jason (33 not out) and Olly saw us over
the line with only 23 overs gone and six wickets
in hand.

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 24th June
A great win for the seconds, a bad day at the
office for the firsts and the thirds lose by
four wickets.
The 1st's travelled north to Lewdown and had a
day to forget. Having won the toss, Craig
decided to have a bat but wickets fell all too
frequently and at 8-3 the task looked ominous.
Only Harry (21) and Capt Craig (20) reached
double figures and a final total of 90 all out
was aided by 21 extras. In reply Lewdown made
light work of the chase losing four wickets
along the way. Alex took 3-45 with Craig bagging
the other.
The 2nd's had better fortune at Harewood. Selly
report is here: -
winning
the toss and electing to field was exactly what
we were hoping to do and we did. Early on we
pushed the Bovey top order hard and with some
great bowling and catching we reduced Bovey to
37 for 6. A solid stand by Bovey skipper Jeremy
Christopher's and George Yabsley helped settle
their innings and were 92 at the fall of the
next wicket. Plympton stuck hard at the task and
kept nicking wickets and in the end bowled Bovey
out for 151, ( A Sellick 3-16 M Draper 3-31 B
Privett 2-39 S Hutchins 1-14)
Once
again plympton did not fail to deliver drama...
losing a couple of early wickets (R Barker 11, C
O'Higgins 11 and T Barker 3) brought together
Suzi McDonald (54) and Chris Dawe (44) at 53 for
3. Suzi batted with grace and drove and swept
her way to 50 off 71 balls. Chris Dawe
bludgeoned his way to 44 with 3 fours and 2 big
sixes but sadly they fell 2 runs apart and then
the drama started with 15 runs needed, Todd
Rossouw was out lbw for 0, Ben Privet was run
out ( my fault) for 0 and then myself bowled for
4. This left Tim George (1 not out) and
Matt Draper (7 not out) to score the last 8 runs
needed to bring home a much needed 19 points.
The
3rd's travelled to Babbacombe and were asked to
bat first. Rob Walker made an excellent 89 but
apart from 26 from Jesse, 23 from Capt Sean and
12 from Amanda, no other batman managed double
figures. We were all out for 188.
In
reply, a forth wicket stand of 88 proved to be a
match winner and broke the back of the run
chase, taking the hosts from 91-3 to 179-3. Tom
bagged three wickets, Josiah trapped both
openers and there was one for Nith.

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 17th June
& Sunday 18th June
Caunter on a canter for the 1st's whilst the
2nd's run into a typically strong Sidmouth
Two's. Sadly the 3rd's had a day off as the
opposition, Brixham couldn't raise a side.
Starting at Harewood with the 1st's we have
brief repost from Capt Craig: -
Plympton never do it easy! An unbelievable
finish to a game fitting of the weather!
The lads did well in the field restricting a
good Sandford side to 199-9. Chasing we were up
against it and at 4 down for not many on the
board the chase had got off to a bad start.
Enter Harry Kandampully who joined David Ackford
to put in a good partnership to get us back in
the game. There were some lusty blows from big H
and a match winning 51 not out from Jacob
Caunter was an innings worthy of winning any
match. Not forgetting Tom Richards who did
superbly holding up his end. We passed the
Sandford total with 8 ball and 1 wicket to
spare.
Thank you as always to the scorer Nicky Dawe,
tea lady Mrs Caunter and everyone who helped out
and or supported!
Great result!
Selly report on the 2nd's is here: -
2nd's Away vs Sidmouth.
Losing the toss for the 1st time this season on
a hot day was a blow but we cracked on with it.
We came up against a good Sidmouth batting line
up and after losing a early wicket (Adam
Sellick 5 for 25) with a great slip catch by Sam
Agnew, Sidmouth scored quickly. Stephanie
Hutchins bowled very well with no reward,
chances came and went and it looked like we
would be chasing 350+, after the 2nd drinks
break we really pulled in back only allowing
them to score 73 for 7 in the last 15 overs they
finished 290 for 9.
We batted well early on. Charles O'Higgins made
29 & Sam Agnew 27. A few others chipped in with
runs but eventually we were 159 all out - 1 run
short of another point.
Special mention to Ben Privett who on debut took
2 wickets 2 catches and scored 18 with the bat
showing great patience and really fitted well
into the team.
All in all I think we tried our best for 80% of
the game and let ourselves down a little bit
with the bat on a very good batting track.

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 3rd June &
Sunday 4th June
The 1st's erratic run continued with a 7 wicket
defeat at league leaders Hatherleigh. The 2nd's
suffered a loss at home to Exmouth and the 3rd's
tied their match with Tavy.
We have a match report from the 2nd's team
skipper Selly here: -
Winning the toss again Plympton invited Exmouth
to bat on a warm day, we set about the task well
taking early wickets Adam Sellick (3 for 25)
made the early inroads into the Exmouth line up
only a very good innings from Louie Morison (92)
really looked settled on what turned out to be a
track that offered something to all if you
applied your trade to it. Matt Draper also
bowled well with little reward (1 for 22), the
big turning point was Adam Sellick dropping
Louie Morison on 41, a sitter compared to the 2
catches he did hold in the game. Tim 'kankles'
George's introduction made for exciting viewing
(4 for 55) runs came and wickets fell, all good
to watch from the side lines I guess, Exmouth
were bowled out for 190 and then the batting
began!!
Freddie Eyston (24) and Amara Carr (5) put on 41 for the 1st wicket then some miscommunication led to a run out, after that once again wickets fell regularly and we were soon 80 for 6 with only Alex Carr (50) able to impose himself, we never really got the run chase going, a 46 partnership between Alex Carr and Sellick (14) helped to pick up some important points, all in all we need to bat better and use all of our overs (Plympton 8 points).

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 27th May
Great wins for both the 1st's and the 2nd's but
the 3rd's come unstuck at home to Yelverton
II's.
The 1st's had a tricky fixture at struggling
Brixham who were boosted by the news that
Somerset one day captain Jim Allenby was set to
make his debut for them.
Here is a match report from the victorious stand
in captain Chris Bunney: -
Brixham won the toss and elected to bat on what
looked a decent wicket, they started very well
and were 103-2 at drinks - we thought we'd be
chasing 250! That brought a change in fortunes
almost instantly and we took the key wickets of
Allenby, Oakes and Pugh straight after drinks.
They had a good partnership at the end taking
them from 136-8 to 181-9, then were all out for
184. Jacob Caunter (4-20) and Hakeem Abdullah
(2-32) the pick of the bowlers. 2nd innings we
lost Andy Waltz and Dave Ackford in quick
succession leaving us 8-2. Our innings then
centered around young James Degg batting through
for a fantastic knock of 73* - including crucial
partnerships of 66 with me (28) and 74 with
Justin Wubbeling (35) which took us to 148-5.
Despite a minor wobble when Allenby came back on
for one last blast taking a hat-trick along the
way, Degg was there at the end to see us home
188-7 with 10 overs still to bowl.
The 2nd's hosted Torquay two's at Harewood. Here
is Selly's take on the match: -
The toss was won again by Plympton and Torquay
were put into bat on a sticky track. Matt Draper
(1-24) bowled very well and Adam Sellick (1-29)
both took wickets in their 1st overs to pile the
pressure on the batting side. Plympton took
wickets at regular intervals. Ross Farrer (2-20)
bowled well and a very tidy spell at the end by
Tim George (2-14) help us to bowl Torquay out
for 155.
Now onto batting - the bit
that was always going to be
tough. The batting line up
was hindered by availability
and we struggled early
losing 3 wickets for 28 runs
before Ollie Goulder making
his 2's debut battled away
and stuck around with Ross
(73) to settle the innings.
When Ollie departed Jonty
Walliker (27) came to the
crease. Again both Jonty and
Ross batted very well
together and with a
partnership of 89 put us in
a great position to win the
game. We won after losing 7
wickets in total with a few
overs to spare.
A big thank you to Jon
Goulder for scoring and Dave
Loynes for umpiring, also a
mention for JCB who came up
to the 2s when asked to
cover a spot that was turned
down. The win gave us a
massive 19 points and a very
happy captain.
Another stand in captain,
Jesse reports on the 3rd's
defeat against Torquay: -
Plympton 3s v Yelverton 2s
Plympton unfortunately lost the toss and were
sent in to bat on an incredibly damp track.
Regardless of this we got off to a good, solid
start against the Yelverton pace attack. Paul
Hamilton was resilient against the swinging new
ball until he fell for 7 which meant that Sam
Agnew joined Charlie O'Higgins at the crease.
Together, they managed to see out the opening
bowlers which then saw the Yelverton Overseas
player coming into the attack. From there it all
went downhill with one scoring shot coming off
his 4 overs and 5 wickets falling in the
process. Charlie O'Higgins eventually fell for a
good 22 with the only other resistance coming
from Jason Degg who ended on 17* with the teams
total on 77.
With the change of innings, the weather had also
changed meaning we were going out to bowl on a
now dry track with a fairly low score to try and
defend. We were attacking from the start but
struggled to break the opening partnership until
Josiah Caunter got one of the openers in his 6th
over. Josiah bowled incredibly well to keep the
pressure on with only 5 scoring shots coming off
his 9 overs. Plympton were bowling well but the
chances didn't quite go out way with a few edges
just missing the slips.
With Yelverton only needing 10 to win, captain
Jesse Sandhu came on to bowl to try and get
another wicket and in turn, another point. After
bowling a loose one to start meaning they now
needed single figures to win but after that,
every ball was virtually unplayable and he soon
had the opener LBW with the ball going on to
crash into all three stumps, meaning we had got
an extra point which could prove to be vital
later on in the season but unfortunately it was
not enough with Yelverton getting the winning
runs the following over.
In conclusion, our batting was poor on a
difficult pitch with good bowlers but our
bowling was fairly good and we can definitely
learn from the performance and hopefully perform
better in the coming weeks.

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 20th May
A tough day for the 1st's and 2nd's but the
3rd's win at Ipplepen.
Starting at
Harewood, we have a
match report from
Craig: -
After winning the
toss and electing to
field we started off
well nipping out a
couple of early
wickets. Chudleigh
then put a
partnership together
but the lads still
bowled tight lines
and were backed up
well in the field.
Although the ended
up getting 20 more
than I would have
hoped 150 was more
than achievable with
our batting. Credit
to Hakeem who bowled
well in his spells
and also Jacob and
Alex who acquitted
themselves well in
their first games
for the 1's this
year. In the chase
we started well and
put 20 on the board
without too much to
write home about.
Dave then had to
take time out as he
was suffering with
cramp but the chase
was still on. At
90-1 we were on top
and looking ominous
in our pursuit of
victory. However
what can only be
described as a
disappointing
batting collapse we
snatched defeat from
the jaws of victory.
I'm not one to dwell
on results and the
lads know we need to
deliver for the full
game not just 75% of
it. We will learn
from this and come
back and it wouldn't
surprise me at all
if we get a good
result away at
Brixham next week.
Thank you to all
those who continue
to help out behind
the scenes it is
appreciated and we
hope to repay you
with some good
results in the
coming weeks. See
you all at nets
Thursday!
The 2nd's suffered
defeat at Exeter.
Here is a match
report from Selly: -
Keeping
up the 2nd teams 100% record of winning the toss
going, Captain Adam Sellick decided to bowl
first and put Exeter into bat. Tom Richards
playing his first 2nd team game of the season
gave a great account of his abilities with a 5
over spell taking 1 for 9, Adam Sellick claimed
figures of 2 for 44 off his 9 overs almost
getting Exeter's main run scorer Sean Langford
for 5 but the chance went begging. Exeter built
the score at a steady pace and only the
brilliant spells of bowling by Matthew Draper (9
overs 1 for 40) and great caught and bowled by
Tom Shears (1 for 38) kept Plympton in the game.
The introduction of Stephanie Hutchins really
slowed the run rate down and she took regular
wickets and finished with remarkable figures of
8 overs 3 for 36. Chris Dawe once again showed
some fast hands behind the stumps taking a
stumping off Adam Sellick, Plympton managed to
keep Exeter to 205 for 8 a job well done..
However
when we batted we sadly lost wickets regularly
and never really managed to get a foot hold in
the game, Freddie Eyston (23) opened and hung
around trying to impose himself when possible.
Other players showed a good hand with the bat
including Tom Richards (15), Matthew Draper (14)
who both battled away taking us to a 2nd batting
point. The rest of Plympton's middle order
offered very little in the way of resistance and
we were eventually bowled out for 93.
Plympton picked up 6 points and will look to
bounce back next Saturday
Sean's report for
the 3rd's is here: -
Plympton 3s 166 ao Vs Ipplepen 2s 83 ao
Ipplepen won the toss and inserted Plympton on a
track that was damp on a length at one end. The
opening partnership of Charles O’Higgins (31)
and Sam Agnew (25) put on a solid opening stand
of 58. We then lost a couple of quick wickets
which lead to the arrival of Jason Degg (35) who
put on his runs swiftly which gave us a bit of
impetus for the final few overs. Jake
Campbell-Beattie (13) and Sean Mortimer (27) get
the runs going with Ollie Maynard ending 16 not
out getting us past the 160 mark for another
point.
Whilst we were enjoying an excellent tea the
weather intervened and reduced the Ipplepen
Innings to 37 Overs, requiring 137 to win.
Josiah Caunter (8-2-14-2) again opened the
bowling and prevented Ipplepen from scoring
quickly, picking up a couple of deserved
wickets. At the other end Connor Leslie
(4-0-9-2) was a good foil and managed to pick up
a couple of wickets. The old boys in the team
then took over with Sean Mortimer (5-2-13-1) and
Jason Degg (8-3-25-2) keeping the run rate down
and taking wickets. Nithin Gopalakrishnan
(7-0-19-3) then stepped in with some tremendous
leg spin to remove the late middle order, this
left us on the verge of our second victory. Then
the champagne moment came with JCB bowling his 3rd
ball had the final man caught by a leaping one
handed catch by Charles O’Higgins.
The energy and
enthusiasm of
the whole team
in the field was
superb.

Match Reports & Teams For Saturday 13th May
A disappointing day for both the 1st's and the
2nd's but the 3rd's got their campaign off to a
winning start after last week's wash out.
The 1st's travelled the short hop up the A38 to
Ivybridge and were greeted with a pitch that
hadn't been covered despite the heavy rain.
Having lost the toss and being asked to bat
first it was always going to be an uphill
struggle and early wickets were lost cheaply.
Buns and Justin offered some middle order
resistance but the tail wagged and got our score
up to a respectable 158 before the Jamie Bailey
was the last man out with 3 balls left. Jamie's
contribution was essential with a superb 37 runs
and a stand of 73 with Capt Donners who weighed
in with 24 not out.
Batting second was always going to be easier
with the chasing side being able to judge the
play with the weather. After rain intervened,
the target was reduced to 124 which Ivybridge
got for 6 down at the end of the 37th over. DI
took 2-13, Donners 2-14 and there was one each
for James and Hakeem.
Back at Harewood the 2nd's won the toss and
deiced to bat. Despite an opening stand of 33
from Alex and Amara, wickets began to fall far
too frequently and only some lower order scoring
from PO (27) and Joel (13) got us up over three
figures, reaching 113 all out in the 40th over.
Again rain changed the chased and North Devon
got the 57 they needed for the loss of 4 wickets
in the 14th over. Joel took 2-14 and Jacob and
Alex picked up one each.
Captain Sean has kindly produced a match report
for the 3rd's win at Ashburton: -
The 3s were up against a strong Ashburton 2s on
Saturday, we were all glad to finally get a
game.
We won the toss and inserted Ashburton. Tom
Richards (7-1-15-2) and Josiah Caunter
(9-2-18-2) opened the bowling and kept the run
rate down whilst nicking out the odd wicket.
Ollie Maynard (6-0-31-2) and JCB
(7-1-36-2) took over and continued to take
wickets at regular intervals. Billy Pitman
(5-0-37-1) took his first senior wicket to help
finish off Ashburton who were finally all out
for 145. The fielding throughout the afternoon
was excellent with Billy and JCB particularly
strong and Olly Goulder taking 3 catches behind
the stumps.
Paul Hamilton and Charles O’Higgins opened the
batting with the rain heading towards us along
the A38 corridor, although we lost a couple of
early wickets Charles (34no) accompanied by Olly
Goulder (5) and then Tom Richards (12no) kept us
ahead of the run rate until the rains fell after
22 overs. It was an excellent innings from
Charles and a good all-round fielding
performance which helped us our first win of the
season.

Match Reports & Teams Saturday 6th May
The season opened with wins for both the 1st's
and 2nd's and the 3rd's match was abandoned
without a ball being bowled.
We have a couple of match reports from both team
captains below. Many thanks to both Craig and
Adam for them.
1st Team - Craig's Report: -
Great win to
start the season
off with a win.
After the rain
had left us it
meant the game
was reduced to
25 overs a side.
We lost the toss
and we're asked
to bat. Walts
and Dangerous
gave us a great
platform to set
a challenging
score, however
with some good
bowling and the
loss of quick
wickets we were
unable to build
on this and
stuttered to
128. In the
field we were a
unit, bowlers
bowled well
especially with
a wet ball.
Young Deggy and
Big H getting
two vital
wickets of Jack
Horton and their
overseas. But
all bowlers
bowled well and
deserved the
reward. Overall
a really
positive result
everyone
contributed and
the biggest
thing was we
didn't panic
under pressure.
On to next week
away to
Ivybridge.
2nd Team -
Selly's Report:
-
Plymouth 2's 203 for 9
Plympton 2's 207 for 8
Winning the toss and
bowling first on a damp day, Plympton set about
the task well against a good Plymouth side with
a run out in the first over (Jason Degg) and
bowled well. Matt Draper beating the edge
numerous times, then Jacob Caunter (1-40)
entered the attack, he picked a wicket and
settled in to a very good spell, with conditions
a little wet Tim and Edd struggled with their
footing which brought Alex Carr (4-31) onto
bowl. Plymouth were 137-2 at drinks, we needed
to wrestle back the game and stop the runs
flowing. After a dodgy 1st over Alex bowled with
great accuracy picking up 4 wickets which were
all bowled, this allowed us to slow the run rate
and get the game back under our control. Elliot
Hamilton (1-24) bowled very well and at the end
of the innings Plympton had restricted Plymouth
to 203-9.
We got off to a flyer with
a few wides and some attacking batting from Alex
Carr (28), opening with Alex was Elliot Hamilton
(104 not out) who batted superbly and thoroughly
deserved his century. Plympton lost wickets
regularly and were on the end of a few
"friendly" lbw decisions. With us still needing
63 to win Edd Degg (25) went out and battered
the ball to the boundary when given the chance
and blocked when needed. A partnership of 41 was
just what was needed and kept us right in the
hunt for a win after another indifferent lbw Edd
was given out and Matthew Draper (10 not out)
went in and with a few subtle touches victory
was close and so was Elliot's hundred. Needing 1
to win and Elliot needing 3 for a very well
compiled ton, he played a delightful reverse
sweep for 4 and also taking the win for
Plympton, Elliot's hundred came off 113 ball
with 16 x 4's.
All in all a great team
effort, we stuck at it well and with a couple of
stand out performances fully deserved the
victory. Thank you to everyone who helped me in
my first game as captain and here's to a
successful season ahead.
