The ‘compact’ ground at the Grove saw no fewer than a remarkable 33 sixes hit on the day.
The home side managed 14 in their 294-7 with opener Thomas Cullen making 139 not out. Potterne added 109 runs in their final seven overs.
Not to be outdone the Penzance batters made hay and got to 201-2 with Jack Paull scoring 47, Ben Seabrook 88 and Christian Purchase smashing seven sixes in his 57.
Greg Smith’s unbeaten 40 saw them home by two wickets with 11 balls remaining to qualify for a home quarter-final against Teddington on July 30.
Penzance won the Vinter Cup for the 17th time but didn’t have it all their way in a well-contested final at Camborne, making their first appearance since 2005.
Having been restricted to 41 for 2 at the halfway mark Camborne recovered to 129 for 6. Dylan Kritzinger made 37 and Player of the Match Liam Weeks got 45 adding 69 for the fourth wicket.
