Youth cricket: Kingsbridge U11s take second spot

ISLAND CRICKET SOUTH DEVON LEAGUE

Tables

KINGSBRIDGE U11s defeated Ipplepen by 15 runs to clinch runners-up place behind Bovey Tracey in the Island Sports U11s A Division.

In a high-quality encounter Kingsbridge were reliant on Sam West (30 ret) and Ben Woods (16) to post a competitive score as the Ipplepen bowling unit made life hard for the visitors.

Alex Harris (2-1) and Ben Cowdry (2-8) led the Pens and with just 12 extras in 20 overs, Kingsbridge earned every run in their 20-over total of 83 for six.

Ipplepen got off to a slow start, but despite having wickets in hand could not capitalise on an opening stand of 32 between Corey Price (19) and Callum King (11).

Quin Turner made a useful 12, but none of the other batters got close to double figures in a total of 68 for eight.

James Tait picked up two wickets for four runs, but almost all of Kingsbridge’s 11 bowlers returned tidy figures.

With all games played the final statistics have been compiled, showing Ashley Causey top of the batting averages with 70.33.

In the bowling department Chris Yabsley narrowly beat fellow Devon spinner Sam Carpenter with 4.2 runs per wicket as opposed to 4.4 runs per wicket.

Four other bowlers took five wickets or more at an average of less than 10, including Morgan Hill (Torquay) and Alex Harris (Ipplepen).

Top five batters: A Causey (Bovey) 70.33; D Bullock (Paignton) 40.67; H Lidstone (Kingsbridge) 35.33; C Yabsley (Bovey) 35.00; H Senior (Bovey) 32.40.
