Liskeard v Veryan

Veryan won the toss and asked Liskeard to bat, and the openers got off to a really good start putting on 85 for the first wicket when Hyslop was out for a steady 23, two wickets fell with the score on 129 Skews for nine and White for a first ball duck. Martin Rowe batted superbly until he was caught for 89, Clue was 23 and Young with 14 not out were the only other batsmen to reach batsmen to reach double figures taking the home side score to 187-7.

Veryan started in determined fashion putting on 32 until M Matthews was out for 21. The home bowlers stuck to their task on a wicket giving little help, they failed to bowl the visitors out, leaving them 129 for six off their 48 overs skipper R Jobson top scoring with 41. This was another fine win for Liskeard.
