ECB OVER 50s CHAMPIONSHIP
CORNWALL recorded a third win in this year's ECB Over 50s Championship with a 27-run win over Dorset at North Perrott.
With Jim McKenna unavailable, Jon Nance opened with Trevor Lee and the pair added 102 in 19 overs before Lee (55) fell to a smart catch at mid off.
Nance (47) soon followed in the same way with the score on 115. Anton Luiten (14) and Nigel Sanders (27) set a platform for Steve Mitchell (37) and Steve Jenkin (16) who in a partnership of 59 took Cornwall past 200 and to an eventual total of 220 for eight.
Dorset, needing just under five an over, got off to a flying start with 18 off the first two overs and raced to 79-0 after 16.
Steve Mitchell and Mike Hoban, bowling in tandem,then took control for Cornwall and during a remarkable 11-over spell five wickets fell for 14 runs as the game was turned on its head.
Among those wickets was a first baller for Dorset skipper and prolific scorer Les Elsworth, who holed out to deep mid on where Nance took a steepling catch.
Nance, who had also taken an earlier boundary catch, completed a terrific individual performance by taking three for 24 from seven overs as Dorset tried to score at eight an over in the latter stages.
Mitchell finished with three for 23 and Hoban two for 22, both from nine overs and even more remarkable after they went for 11 and seven in their first over.
Fourth victory is all Wight
On Tuesday, Cornwall beat Isle of Wight by 129 runs at Wadebridge. Anton Luiten made 115 not out and Jon Nance 58 in Cornwall's total of 278, and Isle of Wight were dismissed for 149.
This was Cornwall's fourth win, their most successful season for many years and they could still qualify for the national knockout stages for the first time this millennium.
Unfortunately they have conceded tomorrow's scheduled game against the Channel Islands in Guernsey because not enough players could travel.
