Cornwall Cricket League Division Three East round-up - Saturday, June 22
LEADERS Luckett overcame a wobble to beat Roche Seconds by three wickets at Chapel Field.
The first half couldn’t have gone much better for the hosts as Roche’s dangerous batting line-up was kept subdued before they collapsed from 114-3 to 145 all out.
Martin Hunn took 2-30 early on before Mark Southcott (3-37) and James Wilkinson (3-20) shared six wickets after Leion Cole dismissed the dangerous George Oakley for 33.
Luckett were in big trouble at 67-5 and 101-7, but Southcott (24no off 53) kept his head which allowed Adam Piper to smash an unbeaten 26 from just 13 balls to get them over the line.
Launceston fell to a fourth straight loss as Grampound Road chased down 222 at Lawhitton.
After choosing to bat, the hosts slipped to 44-4 before James Dawe (44), Phil Spry (57no) and David Sillifant (29no) helped them post 221-5, a score boosted handsomely by 61 extras.

Late wickets fell but the Road got over the line with three wickets to go. Chris Alford (2-41) and Sillifant (2-44) took a couple.
