Chudleigh v

Chagford firsts

BATTING first Chagford made heavy weather in facing the Chudleigh attack and lost wickets at regular intervals. Only Lammonby 23, Christophers 17 and Neal Rowlands 14 not out contributing double figures, and were all out for just 114 runs. 

Chudleigh's overseas player Gouws was once again a thorn in the Chagford side with 3-24 supported by Vittles 3-12 and 2-16. If skipper Del Lammonby and former Skipper Jerry Christophers had been the saviours with the bat, they proved inspirational with the ball as the Chudliegh wickets tumbled in reply.  D Marquand (27) Clarke (27) and Gouws (15) all reached double figures, but it was not enough in this low scoring game and Chudleigh were all out for 105 to give Chagford a must needed victory.     Lammonby with 6-16 and Christophers 4-42 shared the wickets.

Chagford won by nine runs. Chagford 16 points Chudleigh 6 pts.
