Devon Conquer Essex

Today the Devon A Team were at Daventry to meet Essex in the Semi-Finals of the ICC competition. Bowling got underway at 10am, Devon were in full flow from the start and recorded wins on both Singles and Pairs in the first session. The Triples and Fours followed with 2 wins and 2 losses. The bowling began again after a short lunch break with a win and draw in the Singles and a win and loss in the Pairs, this put Devon in an unbeatable position with 21 points including the bonus points from these disciplines. The last session also saw a draw in one of the Fours and a loss in one of the Triples, with the other 2 teams wining their matches. The final point score was Devon 28 Essex 12. Well done to Devon, a great spirit in the team and a well deserved result. Also at Daventry today were Somerset, who took on and beat a very noisy West Midlands. Devon are now set to meet Somerset at Tamworth on Sunday 22nd April.
