C DIVISION
IVYBRIDGE rounded-off their promotion-winning season in the Tolchards DCL C Division West with a convincing seven-wicket win over Kingsbridge.
The Bridge were already assured of promotion going into the final game of the season as secondplaced Paignton were unable to overhaul them for the one place going up.
James Fletcher, in at six for two in the second over, top scored for Kingsbridge with 112 in their total of 217 for nine.
Fletcher was involved in stands that added 179. Support came from Freddie Weir (23) and Farzad Safi (25).
Ivybridge spinner Adam Huxtable led the bowling effort with four for 18. Lewis Clarke took two for 16.
Ivybridge lost runs at 16, 60 and 98 during a routine run chase that occupied 33 overs.
Opener Abraham Kopparambil batted through for 93 not out and reached 98 for three with back-up from Zach Dunn (22) and Cebo Tshiki (25).
Harry Solomon (55no) joined in with Kopparambil on the final leg of the chase.
RELEGATED Plymouth 2nd XI went down by 98 runs at Ashburton, who piled-up an unassailable total of 327 for seven in 45 overs.
George Yabsley (60), Ashley Berry (90) and Lloyd White with a rapid 58 took Ashburton up to 283 for six.
Chris Yeo was already on 30 not out when White departed. He went on to make 50 and Jack Warren 22 not out as the score kept climbing.
Plymouth left-armer Dave Burke – still bowling away after more than 30 years in the DCL – topped the bowling stats with an impressive four for 26 from nine overs.
Plymouth had it all to do after slumping to 37 for three in reply. Ryan May (2-14) mostly responsible.
Although thoughts of chasing were dead and buried at 37 for three, respectability was a different matter.
