Callington completed a league double over St Austell with a fine display at Wheal Eliza. After being put in, Callington lost Snowdon early on, with Colin Kitt and John Sylvester adding 30 before the former by bowled by Chris McNamara for 20.

After that, the innings belonged to Sylvester, and the majestic West Indian delighted the visiting supporters with a chanceless century off just 98 deliveries. He and Andy Hocking, with 31, added 118 for the third wicket, with Sylvester's innings including six sixes and six fours. Jamie Hatch and Lee Pascoe saw Callington pass the 200 mark to ensure maximum batting points. For St Austell, Simon Ellison took four wickets at the cost of 59 runs.

In reply, Chris Lovell blasted three quick fours before holing out to Mark Pluckrose off Andy Brenton. Rupert Wilder went cheaply, but then Geoffrey Furse and Jodie Goble added 65 before Andy Brenton repaid Pluckrose and caught Furse at mid-wicket after the home skipper had scored 44.

At this stage the game was still in the balance, but then St Austell and Jodie Goble in particular had a funny 10 minutes. Firstly, Ian Collings was run out after a mix-up with Goble and then Goble himself gave his wicket away as he was run out for 32. After that, St Austell's day collapsed and Brenton and Sylvester ripped through the lower middle order with nobody else reaching double figures. Brenton took three for 54 and Pluckrose two for 27, but Sylvester confirmed his man of the match status with 14 accurate overs, taking three wickets for just 19 runs, adding to his 100 earlier in the day.

Another 20 valuable points wing their way to Callington, to ease the threat of relegation and set up their journey to struggling Penzance on Saturday.
