Charlie Shreck wins man of the match award

Charlie Shreck's figures of 6-2-19-5 in Cornwall's Cheltenham and Gloucester tie against Worcestershire deservedly won him the man of the match award. His victims were Vickram Solanki, Anurag Singh, David Leatherdale, Andy Bichel and Gareth Batty. He also caught Graeme Hick off the bowling of James Hands. The match started at 3.00pm, due to rain, and was consequently reduced to 30 overs per side. Cornwall did well to restrict Worcestershire to 125, but were themselves bowled out for 76. [card]

Umpires Roy Palmer and Trevor Jesty visited the Truro ground on Wednesday afternoon and found an acceptable wicket on which the match could be played. Play will start at 10.45am on Thursday.

Truro 3rds win off last ball 

The match between Truro 3rds and Troon 2nds on Saturday 4th May produced one of the most exciting finishes seen for some time. Troon scored 169 for 7 off their 48 overs thanks to fine knocks of 63 from S. Kitchen and 35 from S. White.

In reply Truro were always up with the required rate thanks to 74 from Nigel Long, but wickets were also falling. Truro tied the match in the 47th over and therefore needed one run off the last over , with the last pair at the wicket (15 year olds John McConnell and Luke Withecombe). Ian Williams bowled a very tight over, but the youngsters kept their cool and ran a leg bye off the last ball to win the match! SCORECARD
