LUCKETT have a 25-point lead at the top following a 52-run victory over visiting Wadebridge Seconds at Chapel Field.

The hosts chose to bat and racked up 308-9 with Luke Brenton (74), Toby May (85) and Ryan Brown (53) in the runs against a much-changed Swans outfit.

Wadebridge openers Sam Richards (84) and Nick Yelland (35) put on 66 and although runs came throughout, nobody could really kick on Andrew Hoskin (3-48) and Mark Southcott (3-57) shared six wickets.

Callington Seconds saw off second-placed St Blazey by just 12 runs having posted 219-8.

Callington’s innings saw Ben Allsop get the innings off to a flyer with 42 from just 34 balls, but it was skipper Rich Brown that led from the front with 66, while Peter Tancock made an important 25 in the middle overs. Nithin Gowda (2-18) and Jowan Isbell (3-18) shared five wickets.

St Blazey were going well at 85-2 with skipper Ben Griffiths (46) and South African Ruhann Brenner at the crease, but once Griffiths was run out, the innings slipped to 143-6 with Brown taking 3-29.

Brenner (69 off 84) and Simon Dixon (23 off 43) took the game deep, but they required 24 off the final over bowled by Ryan Hodge.

Nerves jangled with eight coming off the first two, but Hodge (2-51) dismissed both men as they closed on 207-8.

Lanhydrock moved up to third with a seven-wicket success at Werrington Seconds.

Ben Attfield (2-38), Jamie Eldridge (2-20) and Rowan Evans (2-32) shared six wickets in the home side’s 181-9, which was nowhere near enough as Amir Khan (35), Christian James (62no) and Jamie Taylor (43) all cashed in.

Bottom side St Austell Thirds lost by 184 runs at St Minver having been dismissed for 150. Skipper Nick Matthews made 55.
