Mike Foan scored a half-century helping his Cheriton Fitzpaine side to the North Devon League Fifth Division title in the club�s second ever season of Sunday League cricket and Richard led Sandford to a second successive Devon Senior Cup win, with a 72-run victory over Plympton at Tavistock on Sunday.

Batting first Sandford struggled to a closing total of 169 with four players making tidy contributions, Adrian Small (29), Neil Bettis (28), David Lye (30) and Joel Tuccia (29) all chipping in but the total was more than enough for the cup to return to Creedy Park as Plympton were bowled out for just 97.

The reply was up and running on 37 without loss but then five wickets fell before the score reached 45 and the game was over! Richard Baggs, the skipper when Sandford won the cup last year, bagged three wickets and there were two each for Trevor Anning and current captain Richard Foan.

Post-match, a delighted skipper said:

�I was confident that we had got sufficient runs, and so it proved. Any score over 140 on that pitch was potentially enough to win it and I always thought getting 170 was going to be a massive ask for them. We then won the game with a mix of excellent bowling and superb fielding."
