Bond Timber Cornwall Cricket League Division Two East round-up – Saturday, August 23

LUCKETT and St Blazey will face a final day shootout for the title following wins on Saturday.

Luckett go into it one point ahead after easing past Lanhydrock by seven wickets at Chapel Field.

The Bodmin-based club amassed a competitive 232 all out thanks to half centuries from Christian James (65) and Amir Khan (51), but Luckett’s top three were in the runs yet again after Andrew Hoskin (3-43) and Mark Southcott (3-38) shared six wickets.

Opener Toby May made 40 before Luke Brenton (85) and Ryan Brown (56) made hay as the winning runs came with more than 11 overs to spare.

St Blazey are one point behind after dropping a point at home to relegated St Austell Thirds.

The Saints were going well at 53-0 through Andrew Bennetts (38) and Matt Nile (26), but once they departed they needed 24 from Tom Mallet to reach 144 all out as change bowlers Rory Dixon (4-25) and Andrew Thomas (3-32) ran riot.

Blazey then eased to 81-0 via Dixon (46) and Matt Bennetts (35), but almost lost a thriller as seamer Jack Ellison took 4-15 after Angus Fosten (2-29) and Owain Johnson (2-15) sparked a giant collapse.

Eleven were still needed with two wickets remaining, but Simon Dixon (6no) and Riley Carne (2no) held their nerve under huge pressure.

Those results mean Luckett will pick up the championship if they record 20 points at a St Minver side who must win on the final day, while Blazey must better them by a point at relegation-threatened Bude.

Elsewhere in the division, Werrington Seconds beat Bude to move 13 points clear of St Minver who gave themselves a chance by beating Holsworthy by the same scoreline. Callington Seconds saw off their Wadebridge by six wickets chasing 182 to move into third.
