Bradninch totted up a massive 286 for four at Kelsey with Zimbabwean Ryan Butterworth helping himself to an unbeaten 106.

Braunton did a good containing job on Bradninch until the last nine overs when Butterworth and Ross Acton (59no) really cut loose. Their stand of 102 changed the course of the game � and didn't do much for the bowling figures of Barney Huxtable, whose nine overs cost 65 runs. Adrian Ezquerro (33) chipped in for Bradninch.

Braunton weren't too interested in chasing 287 to win � and Bradninch bowlers Gary Chapple (2-35) and Joel Murphy (2-33) gave them no encouragement!

Once a stand of 91 for the third Braunton wicket was broken, Mark Lathwell making 69 and Andy Paddison 35, the home side went safety first to the draw at 183 for six.

Bradninch 286-4 (R Butterworth 106no, R Acton 59no, A Ezquerro 33; C Hack 2-31), Braunton 183-6 (M Lathwell 69, A Paddison 35; R Acton 2-52, G Chapple 2-35, J Murphy 2-33). Bradninch (14pts) drew with Braunton (6).
