With drier weather, the prospects look a little better for next weekend. Of the 67 League games scheduled 23 had been rescheduled and five cancelled leaving 39 games ‘live’ at the beginning of the week.
There were some outstanding performances in the games that were played on Saturday.
In Division Two Constantine’s Scott Kellow hit the first century of the season. His 138 at Hayle included 10 sixes. Promoted Constantine went on to win by a massive 259 runs.
The Stithians openers Matt Ellis (84no) and Nathan Kendall (29no) put on an unbeaten 128 to secure a ten-wicket win in the derby at Perranarworthal.
Travis Woolston made 85 not out to clinch a seven-wicket win for Perranporth at home to St Ives.
Perranporth Seconds had a remarkable win at Gulval in Division Three making 241-2 to succeed by eight wickets. This after Neil Mather made 90 for the hosts.
In Division 5 at St Stephen, there were two outstanding bowling performances. Richard Budge took 7-37 for the home side before James Cawsey bowled South Petherwin to victory taking 7-17.
Cornwall CCC start their season at St Just on Sunday (11:00) with two NCCA T20 games against Devon. Paul Smith continues as captain and will have two professionals to call on this season.
Player of the year Will MacVicar has again been contracted and is joined by left-handed batter Alex Blake who played a couple of games last year. He hit a classy championship century against Dorset at Truro. He has been released by Kent CCC during the close season following a 17-year career at Canterbury.
