Cricket- County Division One

Mullion v Callington

Callington won the toss and elected to bat. Andrew Snowdon and Jamie Hatch got them off to a good start with a stand of 55 before Hatch was caught behind for 20. John Sylvester was looking assured before being trapped leg before for 16, and then Snowdon was caught and bowled by Glenn Jonas for 48.

By now Callington were 90 for three after 25 and that soon became 91 for four. Andy Hocking however was still there and made a valuable 33 before falling to Mark Johnson's only over. Dave Lockwood was taking the wickets from the other end, and he bowled well to take five for 42. Callington's tail wagged bravely to take their score to reasonable 175.

Mullion got off to a terrible start, and after 15 overs the score was 16 for five, with four wicket going by the accurate Sylvester, and the other the result of some sharp fielding by Snowdon to run out Lockwood.

Sylvester then clean bowled Francis to finish with the awesome figures of 16 overs, nine maidens, five for 13. However, amazingly, Mullion were not done, and Captain Kevin Bosustow and Tony Matthews put on 71 for the eight wicket to put them in with a shout. However, Bosustow was run out for 59, and Andy Brenton claimed the last two wickets to leave Matthews 30 not out and Mullion 27 runs short.

This pleased a large Callington support, who left in good spirits to enjoy a night out in Penzance.
