On Sunday Belstone completed the double over Exeter St James in a bottom-of-the-table clash at Rew Meadow in Division Two of the South Devon League.  Belstone began very cautiously in the face of an accurate attack from Poortman (9-2-25-0) and especially Chris Horne who bowled four maiden overs on the trot and conceded just 11 runs from his nine overs.  After 12 overs only 17 runs were on the board but the pressure was eased when Phil Woods (30 in 69 minutes off 61 balls) took 16 off spinner Wyman’s first over.  Even so the score at the half-way 20-over stage was only 58 for one but Wayne Pearce upped the rate, taking 35 minutes and 28 balls to hit 43 runs.  Andrew Paterson continued the acceleration stroking four 6s and four boundaries in his 59 not out, scored off 34 balls in 43 minutes, so that the second 20 overs yielded 132 runs.  All this time opener Pete Gross kept the other end secure with a valuable knock of 46 scored in 130 minutes off 111 balls.  Pick of the rest of the visitors attack was Ollie Devon (9-1-44-2) as Belstone finished on 190 for five.

Exeter St James were pretty much up with the run rate while brothers Chris (37) and Johnny (28) Horne, Devon (33) and Bosomworth (11) were batting with authority but just as they threatened to take charge fine catches at slip by Gross and off skiers by Paterson and Chris Walpole pegged them back.  The visitors lost all momentum in the last ten overs when only 22 of the 66 runs required were added thanks to accurate bowling from Chris Walsh (7-0-26-2) and Phil Dennis (6-1-10-1) so Belstone ran out comfortable winners by 41 runs.
