Devon Cricket Board Youth Association Under 10s' |
2014 squad  v Dorset on 25th May at Exeter School Devon u10s began their campaign and first match together by hosting Dorset
at Exeter School. After winning the toss and electing to bowl, Devon's opening
bowlers restricted Dorset throughout the early stages who found it tough in
seamer friendly conditions. However it was the spin duo of Rory Medlock and
Cameron Ford who took centre stage, taking 6 wickets between them for just 25
runs. Leg spinner Ford took a deserved 4 wickets on debut, all bowled, proving
tough for the Dorset middle order to fathom. Dorset ended their innings on 116
with several overs remaining.
Lawrence Walker (25) and Reuben Windley started confidently finding
boundaries regularly. After several wickets tumbled in quick succession Jake
Pascoe joined Walker at the crease to settle Devon and move towards the target.
When Walker departed Pascoe (43*) and Matt Jeacock (16*) took the side to
victory with 4 overs to spare. A good start to the season, with the players
getting to know each other on and off the pitch.
Dorset 116ao ( Finlay Williams 14, Charlie Collinge 12, Bo Powell 12, Josh Parsons 12, George Reid 12*, extras 36, Joe Farmer 5.2-0-27-2, Rory Medlock 4-0-11-2, Cameron Ford 4-1-15-4) Devon 118 for 3 (Jake Pascoe 43*, Lawrence Walker 25, Matt Jeacock 16*, Bo Powell 6-0-26-2) Devon won by 7 wkts full scorecard Jake Pascoe Wagon Wheel 43no Lawrence Walker Wagon Wheel 25 ------------------------------------------------ v Gwent on 1st June at Monmouth CC Devon arrived in a damp Monmouth, lucky to be playing after a week of wet
weather. After losing the toss, unsurprisingly Gwent inserted Devon to bat on
the greenest of pitches. Devon found scoring tough, but Lawrence Walker (31)
carried an end superbly to post a respectable score. Rory Medlock came in to
strike a bright and breezy 27 as the visiting side reached 120 in the last
over.
Gwent set about the total at a pace as the sun came out and conditions
improved after tea. A splendid knock of 75* from captain and Wales u11 talent
Alex Horton proved too strong for Devon as Gwent eased home for the loss of 5
wickets. Captain Archie Farkins proving the pick of bowling with 2-29.
Devon 120ao (Lawrence Walker 31, Rory Medlock 27, Will Heath 2-0-9-2, Harry Hughes 5-1-12-2) Gwent 125 for 5 (Alex Horton 78*, extras 27, Archie Farkins 5-0-29-2,) Devon lost by 5wkts full scorecard Lawrence Walker wagon wheel 31 Rory Medlock wagon wheel 27 ---------------------------------------- v Oxfordshire on 8th June at Exeter School A strong Oxfordshire side visited Devon in confident mood after losing only
one match in two seasons. Devon, bowling first, bowled well in damp conditions
keeping Oxford to 145-8 from 30 overs. Dropped catches proved the day's
learning curve as 6 chances went to ground. Cameron Ford and Joe Farmer took 2
wickets each as Oxford accelerated in the closing overs.
After a long rain delay at tea, credit to the Exeter School ground for
withstanding the weather, Devon had an innings to forget.... A tremendous
opening burst from Oxford's Zac Lion-Cachet proved decisive as the top order
struggled to cope with the pace and accuracy. Lion-Cachet finished with 6-10
(all bowled) as player after player misjudged straight deliveries. With
confidence shattered Devon were bowled out for 29, a steep learning curve for
the boys.
Oxfordshire 145 for 8 (Max Ferreira 29, Alex Orders 22, extras 49, Joe Farmer 5-0-33-2,Cameron Ford 3-0-17-2) Devon 29ao ( Freddie O'Connell 11, Zac Lion-Cachet 4-1-10-6) Devon lost by 116 runs full scorecard ---------------------------------------- v Hampshire on 15th June at Exeter University Sportsground Devon hosted Hampshire for the inaugural county youth fixture to be played at University of Exeter’s Topsham Sports Ground. The excellent facilities provided a backdrop for a game of real quality against strong opposition. Hampshire batted first amassing 183-7, with many players contributing along the way. Captain, Archie Farkins (2-28) and Cameron Ford (2-24) were the pick of a bowling performance that conceded a few too many extras. In response Devon built gradually and were put in a fine position by opener Reuben Windley (32) and Rory Medlock (53). Devon came up agonisingly short despite a bright and breezy 17 from Sammy Broomhead trying to win the game. Needing 6 from the last ball Devon ended up on 181-7. A fine game of cricket and a credit to both sides. Hampshire 183 for 7 (Dan Watson 37, Jonty Oliver 50, extras 34, Archie Farkins 7-0-28-2, Cameron Ford 7-0-24-2) Devon 181 for 7 (Rory Medlock 53, Reuben Windley 32, extras 44, Harry Roberts 6-2-16-2, Billy Lightfoot 5-1-16-2) Devon lost by 2 runs full scorecard Rory Medlock wagon wheel 53 Reuben Windley wagon wheel 32 --------------------------------------------- v Cornwall on 22nd June at Exeter School Despite rain in the air Devon managed to play a full game against Cornwall at Exeter School. Electing to bat first Devon saw a host of early wickets tumble and found themselves 66-7 with plenty of overs remaining. A fine 70 run partnership between Ollie Smith (44) and Joe Farmer (15*) helped Devon to a total of 141-8 that looked above par on a green wicket. In the Cornish reply, wickets fell regularly and were shared equally amongst Eddie Butler (2-8), Matt Jeacock (2-22) and Archie Farkins (2-9). Cornwall rallied to 93 all out meaning the local bragging rights stayed on the Devon side of the Tamar for the 2014 season. Devon 141 for 8 (Reuben Windley 22, Ollie Smith 42, extras 35, Jacob Pengelley 7-1-31-2, Billy Channell 5-0-23-2, Jamie Beare 5-2-3-2, William Jenkin 5-0-15-2) Cornwall 93ao (William Jenkin 17, Nathan Roberts 20, extras 23, Eddie Butler 3-0-8-2, Matt Jeacock 3-0-22-2, Archie Farkins 3-1-9-2) Devon won by 48 runs full scorecard Reuben Windley wagon wheel 22 Ollie Smith wagon wheel 42 -------------------------------------------------- v Isle of Wight U11s on 29th June at Exeter University Sportsground The Isle of Wight u11s visited Devon a little weary eyed after a 5.30 alarm call before boarding the ferry. The visitors won the toss and decided to blow off the cobwebs in the field. Eddie Butler (22) and Jake Pascoe (45), both under 9s and playing a year early, dominated the opening exchanges. A middle order flurry of wickets slowed proceedings until skipper Archie Farkins (27) helped Devon to a strong total of 192-7. A fine spell of bowling during the Isle of Wight response from pace duo Joe Farmer (3-15) and Farkins (2-6) dented the visitors hopes. However contributions down the order helped them to a respectable 101 ao to make the long trip worthwhile. Devon 192 for 7 (Jake Pascoe 45, Archie Farkins 27, extras 54, Eddie Butler 22, Devon Pollard 5-0-22-2, Morgan Flood 5-1-12-2) Isle of Wight 101ao (Mackenzie Wright 19, extras 43, Archie Farkins 3-1-6-2, Joe Farmer 5-1-15-3) Devon won by 91 runs full scorecard Jake Pascoe wagonwheel 45 Archie Farkins wagonwheel 27 Eddie Butler wagonwheel 22 ------------------------------------------------------------------- v Wiltshire on 13th July at Marlborough CC Wiltshire 146 for 7 (Stu MacDougall 48, Ollie Carr-Smith 40, Zac Tunmore 26*, Archie Farkins 8-0-20-3) Devon 147 for 6 (Rory Medlock 50*, Jake Pascoe 25, Hayden Lloyd 8-2-17-3, Rory Howell 5-2-12-2) Devon won by 4 wkts full scorecard Rory Medlock wagonwheel 50no Jake Pascoe wagonwheel 25 --------------------------------------------------------------------- v Somerset on 3rd August at Exmouth CC Devon 63 all out (Rory Medlock 16, Archie Farkins 12, Ben Chaffey 4.5 2-4-2, Jack Harding 5-2-20-2, Charlie Sharland 2-1-1-2) Somerset 67 for 4 (George Thomas 30, Archie Farkins 4-0-14-2) Devon lost by 6 wkts full scorecard ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TAUNTON FESTIVAL held at Kings College v Surrey on 9th August Surrey 210 for 5 (Charlie Whipple 101*, Tim Lloyd 43, Reuben Windley 5-0-28-3, Archie Farkins 4-0-13-1, Freddie O'Connell 8-0-48-1) Devon 212 for 7 (Rory Medlock 64, Lawrence Walker 21, Joe Farmer 22*, Ben Cleaver 9-1-19-2, Darsham Fernando 5-0-23-1) Devon won by 3 wkts Rory Medlock wagonwheel 64 Lawrence Walker wagonwheel 21 Joe Farmer wagonwheel 22no full scorecard Record breakers.
