CORNWOOD showed they mean business in the A Division this season with a 63-run win over visiting Lewdown.
Jackson Thompson top scored with 36 in a solid batting effort by the Corns that produced a total of 223 all out in the last of their 50 overs.
Skipper Jason Hall took four wickets and there were three more for Kiwi pacer Craig James as Lewdown were dismissed for 160 in reply with more than eight overs to bowl.
It’s early days yet but Cornwood are top of the table on 29 points with a three-point lead over Barton.
The key stands for the Corns all involved anchorman Mark Horwell, who went in at five for one in the second over after opener Ben Warren went for a duck.
Thompson’s 36 off 27 balls with a six and five fours – formed the bulk of a 47-run stand with Horwell for the second wicket.
Horwell and Chris Parker (17) put on 62 for the third wicket, helped by a sizeable chunk of the 52 extras Lewdown gifted Cornwood in wides.
And there was a fourth-wicket stand of 31 with Matt Skeemer (15) that got Cornwood up to 145 for four.
Horwell finally went for 35 off 69 balls with the score on 145 for six as Lewdown’s bowlers hit back.
Skeemer and Marc Roca fell to Mark Jordan (3-31) in consecutive balls with Horwell following in the next over to Leon Horn.
Craig Harris (21no) and Matt Butterworth (26) got the board moving again after Lewdown’s breakthroughs, although Jordan, Johann Wessells (2-44) and Phil Yeo (1-31 off 10) slowed the rate down dramatically.
James whipped out Lewdown opener Dave Ball in the first over, but any thoughts of rolling them over soon disappeared.
Skipper Harry Geering (44) and Matt Witcher (23), used up the best part of 20 overs adding 79 for the second wicket,
Skeemer (2-21) broke the stand by removing Geering and five balls later trapped Witcher lbw.
Lewdown’s promising 79 for one became 97 for five as Hall (4-33) got into the middle order.
Wessells (28) and Dale Chadwick (11) hung around for a while, but once they went no one reached double figures as Harris, Hall (4-33) and James (3-31) wrapped things up.
