Bradninch were beaten in the Final of the 2010
Devon Senior Cup when an all too familiar
batting collapse befell the side as they slipped
from a promising 77-3 to 86-9 in their pursuit
of a very gettable 162 in the 40-over game
against Bovey Tracey at Plympton.
Gary Chappell led the bowling effort with a
three-wicket haul as Bovey batted first and were
bowled out for 161 with opening bat Andy Kingdon
top-scoring with 54.
The reply got a great start with Tim Piper, a
half-centurion the day before at North Devon,
hitting 25 and Haydn Murray chipping in with 26
but from a promising 77-3, six wickets fell for
just nine runs and although the final wicket
partnership at least took the score to three
figures, it was a disappointing total of 102
when the final wicket fell.
