Lions tackle tourists at Brixham

DEVON Lions are in action on Sunday against South African touring side Futura Sports at Brixham (11.30am).

Futura are over from Durban for three weeks to tour the UK and tale part in the Last Man Standing World Championships.

Before heading to Lord's for the championship curtain-raiser on Sunday, August 25, the tourists have arranged a Devon leg to their trip.

The connection is coach Patrick Steytler, who was Brixham's player-coach between 2002-2004.

Futura Sports are going to be busy during their stay in Torbay as they have games against the Devon Dumplings, also at Brixham, followed by 40-over games against Brixham, Cornwood, Torquay and Paignton.

The Last Man Standing Championships take place over 10 days with a long-weekend break between the qualifiers and the final at Lord's.

The tourists are using the time off to fit in two games in Buckinghamshire.

Devon Lions: J Mailing (Plympton), B G Huxtable (North Devon), D Hardy (Bradninch), M H Curtis (North Devon), J F S Dart (Budleigh), S R Wyatt-Haines (Bovey Tracey), C Evans-Grainger, B Searle (both Exeter), J P Richardson (Torquay), H Kerton (Plymstock), J Popham (Barnstaple & Pilton), M Plowman (Budleigh).
