on payment of a feeEXMOUTH handed out a 100-run hiding to second-placed Barton to clinch promotion from the A Division at the first attempt.
And seven points off Bradninch this Saturday will send Exmouth up as champions with two games to spare.
Exmouth lost opener Julian Page in the first over, then Stuart Rintoul and Pat Cross in quick succession as they dipped to 26 for three, but recovered to make 157 for seven thanks to stand of 60 between Harrison Folland (25) and Mike Collinge ((66no).
There were two wickets each for Dave Palmer (2-20) and Mile LIevesley (2-30).
Depleted Barton – they were hard hit by 1st XI demands - were bowled out for a paltry 57 in reply by Matt Tarry (4-16) and Sean Butler (3-5).
Jamie Peters and Adam Styles made a brace of 12s; no one else reached double figures.
Bradninch slip back to fifth in the table after going down by four wickets to Plymstock.
Matt Jarrett made 53 and Gary Newall (29) were the main run getters in a total of 148 for nine –Duncan Brace working his way to figures of five for 43.
Rob Baker (59) and Steve Coomer (41no) sorted out the run chase despite tidy bowling from Andy Nicholls (3-32).
Braunton’s A Division game against Sidmouth came to a watery end after rain swept in over Kelsey.
Nick Mansfield (4-20) and Dom Bess (3-24) shunted Braunton out for 86 – Kerian Jarrett making 26 –and at 34 for two in reply an away win seemed likely when rain stopped play.
Graeme Wilson and Barry Griffiths had three wickets each as Chudleigh battled hard to take a winning draw off Tavistock,
A fifth wicket stand of 61 between Rami Yedidi (40) and skipper Mark Heather (22) breathed new life into Chudleigh after a pasting from Simon Gliddon (4-34) and Mark Crichton (3-63).
Even so a total of 187 all out didn’t look enough while Nick Goodchild (42) and Marc Webber (50) were adding 72 for the first wicket.
Wickets tumbled to Wilson and Griffiths, leaving Tavvy batting out for the draw at 162 for nine.
Sandford fell short on the chase against Plymouth 3rd XI, who got off the hook and made the visitors pay
James Nicholls hit 61 to rescue the city side from 46 for four – Gary Abdoll (3-35) and get them up to 146 for eight.
Nicholls (3-39) and Jordan Hancock (3-23) swung the game Plymouth’s way as Sandford were dismissed for 134, skipper Paul Smith (26) top scoring.
