Double dose of T20 defeats for Devon

A QUICKFIRE knock of 46 from Cornwood’s Ben Beaumont’s was one of Devon’s few highlights in a double dose of Twenty20 defeats by Cornwall at Cornwood

Cornwall defeated Devon by three wickets in game one and eight wickets in game two to book their place at finals day in the NCCA Twenty 20 Cup competition. 

Beaumont flogged the Cornish bowling all around the ground in game one – and out of it, too – during a 20-ball stay in the middle that included four fours and the same number of sixes. He was going for one more big hit to bring up his half-century when he ran past a delivery from Will McVicar and was stumped by a distance.

Dave Tall, the Devon head coach, said it was a ‘brilliant’ innings by a player who is getting better and better all the time.
