Bridestowe moved to the top of C West with a convincing win over Ashburton.
After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, Bridestowe openers James Ewen (53) and Gary Sizmur (46) raced to 40 inside 4 overs. The hundred opening stand was brought up in the 18th over, and it looked as though the visitors would be chasing a huge score. The introduction of Kris Conabeer (3-14) slowed the run rate and he removed both openers in an accurate spell. Wickets then tumbled as Bridestowe fell from 113-0 to 173 all out, with only Phil Hatton (11) and Chris Lavis (24) making double figures. George Marshall (3-39) picked up three wickets and Matt Churchill (2-45) and Lloyd White (2-23) both bagged a brace.
The Ashburton chase started disastrously as they lost White in the first over to Lavis (3-23). Either side of a short rain break, Ashburton slumped to 37-7, Lavis and Sizmur (3-4) doing most of the damage. Marshall (10 no) and James Rush (21) got the visitors up to 88 ao, but they were never really in the chase. Tom Boother (1-14), Alex Jopling (1-26), Ryan Dennis (0-8) and Matt Dennis (1-2) all bowled tight spells and gave little away to the batsmen. Bridestowe won by 69 runs (rain revised target of 158 from 41 overs).
