Cornwall Cricket League Division Three East latest round-up

LEADERS Luckett require a maximum of 25 points from a possible 100 to take the title.

On Saturday they welcomed Launceston, and in damp, drizzly conditions, dismissed the visitors for 150 despite Dan Tilley’s 56.

Jonny Hoskin (4-21) and Mark Southcott (2-18) shared six wickets.

In reply, Luckett raced out of the blocks in worsening conditions through Ryan Brown (54) and Henry Wilkinson (28), and although both departed, play was called off with the hosts at 95-2 after just 13.2 overs.

Luckett visited neighbours Callington Thirds on Sunday and eventually ran out comfortable winners.

Their sizeable total of 257-5 was based around Ryan Brown’s superb 142, a knock that contained 11 fours and seven sixes.

The main support came from skipper Andrew Hoskin (41no) and Henry Wilkinson (23) as no Cally bowler took more than a wicket.

Callington attacked from the outset with Ben Allsop smashing the bowling to all parts despite being dropped in the third over.

He whacked nine fours and four sixes in just over ten overs for his 67 before finding Adrian Berry at gully off Jonny Hoskin.

Cally continued the charge through opener Toby Beresford-Power (36) and Chris Simpson (34), but the latter’s departure sparked a collapse as Luckett fought back.

Mark Southcott took 2-33, but it was Andrew Hoskin’s fine spell of 4-22 from 8.2 overs that ensured the Greens were dismissed for 191.

Callington enjoyed a seven-wicket victory at their Werrington counterparts on Saturday.

Werrington racked up 221-8 which included 52 from opener Ed Walters plus useful contributions from Dan Warring (30), Zander Zambuni (23) and Dan Jenkin (25no), but Cally were home in less than 27 overs.

Helped by a remarkable 54 extras, Ben Allsop smashed 41 in no time before Charlie Coates (29), Chris Simpson (62no) and Ben Neville (30no) did the rest.
