Truro's Jolly's Drinks ECB Cornwall Premier League game at St Just was called off on Saturday morning due to the weather, writes Michael Weeks.

However they were able to play their Cockspur Cup game in Devon against Cornwood on Sunday, but narrowly bowed out of the competition losing by eight runs. The home team were restricted to 169 for 9 in their 45 overs after getting off to a good start through Duncan Boase with 37 and Chris Beaumont's 47.

All six Truro bowlers took a wicket with the pick being Tom Sharp who returned figures of two for 10 off 9 overs. Sharp then looked to be steering Truro to victory at 161 for 6.

However following Chris Phillips's departure Sharp went for 72 and the last two wickets also fell on the same score, with two overs to spare. Former St Just player Jason Hall did the damage at the end with four for 17.

Cornwood 169-9 (C Beaumont 47, D Boase 37, M Butterworth 28no, J Hall 21; T Sharp 2-10, A Tunnadine 2-24, A Taylor 2-48), Truro 161 (T Sharp 72, G Griffiths 21; J Hall 4-17, A Bees 4-33).Cornwood beat Truro by 8 runs.

New Zealander Brayden Hill made 38 on his St Austell debut recovering the innings from 47-4. The "Road" are at Newquay on Saturday before Monday's visit to Boscawen Park.

Grampound Road's seconds County Division One visit to Luckett was one of the earlier cancellations on Saturday. They have home games with Callington and Launceston this weekend.
