THE race for semi-final spots in this year's Jolly's Drinks Premier 50/50 Cup have been thrown wide open.
Camborne, Redruth and Truro all lost their opening games but bounced back with victories on Saturday.
After just two rounds the only unbeaten teams are Callington and Falmouth, who have only played one game apiece.
EAST DIVISION
Callington 324-3, Grampound Road 183
CALLINGTON'S openers, Matt Robins and Jake Libby, dominated at Moores Park, putting on 204 before being parted.
It was a repeat of their double century partnership for Cornwall at Oxfordshire last year, which played a major part in the county's title challenge. Robins was dismissed by Chris Hunkin for 102.
Dan Davis missed out but Libby went on to hit 160 not out off 152 balls in the 324 for three. Both Robins and Libby hit two sixes and 15 fours.
Hunkin took three for 69 while David Hoskings was the most economical, being the only bowler to go for less than five an over. After losing Tom Hughes and David Hoskings cheaply Hunkin (58no) and Chris Roberts (46) added 106 for the third wicket.
Daniel Barretto made 20 not out as the visitors claimed a fourth batting point.
Australian Daniel Callinan took two for 43, on his debut, and Andrew Libby two for 41 from his ten overs.
Truro 218-6, St Austell 116
TRURO ran out convincing winners by 102 runs at Wheal Eliza to maintain their cup hopes.
After the previous week's last over defeat they made no mistake, despite an indifferent start.
Tim Marrion and Tom Sharp were both out with only 24 on the board. Adam Pascoe followed at 57 for three. Scott Harvey found a good partner in Rob Harrison, however, to add 88 for the fourth wicket.
Harvey went for 55 off 114 balls but Harrison went on to hit two sixes and seven fours in his 70, before being dismissed in the final over.
There were two wickets apiece for Scott Barrott, Liam Watson and Mike Bone.
St Austell's innings got off to a poor start as they lost Sean Hooper, Craig Richards and Scott Kellow with only 16 on the board. Kyle Van Rooyen struck twice.
Dan Jarman (28) and Mike Bone (24) gave some hope, adding 49 for the fourth wicket, but with only Gary Bone (22) of the rest getting into double figures they were bowled out for 116.
Tom Sharp and Tom Burford both took three wickets.
WEST DIVISION
Redruth 160-9, St Just 149
IF Redruth had a few lessons to learn after their opening day defeat, it didn't take them too long to up their game as they beat one of the cup favourites, St Just at Trewirgie.
In a confidence boosting performance they defeated the full strength visitors, in a result that will have raised a few eyebrows around the county.
It hadn't looked that way for much of the Redruth innings, however. Half the side were out for 47 after electing to bat. It was Steve Kevern that held the rest of the innings together making 62 not out.
Neil Ivamy and Josh Wingfield got double figures as the eighth and ninth wickets added a crucial 71, with Wingfield out on the last ball. Kiwi Ian McPeake took two wickets on debut as did Nick George and Gareth May.
Gary Thomas made 33 as St Just reached 92 for three, but the innings collapsed with Harry Bolland (3-14) and Neil Ivamy (3-24) bowling them out for 149 in the 38th over.
Earlier, Ben Stevens dismissed David Roberts and Neil Curnow in his two for 26. Gavin Edwards was left stranded on 39 not out.
Camborne 177, Paul 117
ON the face of it this was a comfortable win for the Roskear club but they had much to thank the tail-enders of Jordan Harvey, Craig Johnson and Scott Harris.
Four batsmen got into double figures but at 92 for eight the home side held the aces. Harvey made 20 before Harris and Johnson added a vital 54 for the last wicket.
Johnson made 45 at a run a ball and Harris remained unbeaten on 12. Kelvin Snell took three for 34 with Craig Osborne and Ross Williams taking two apiece.
Matt O'Leary made 42 as Paul got to a promising 57 for one. But Craig Johnson made the breakthrough to initiate a dramatic collapse as six wickets fell for only 16 runs.
Craig Osborne made 25 to help get the total to 117 all out. It was former skipper Martin Jenkin did the damage taking six for 24 from 9.3 overs. Matt Rowe wrapped up the game taking two for 21.
Liam Weeks had a great game behind the stumps for Camborne, claiming five victims.
