Cornwall under 21’s faced stiff opposition in a warm up game for their forthcoming Southern Counties championship campaign last week. They took on Somerset seconds at Taunton Vale C C and went down to a 183 run defeat. Somerset won the toss Chris Jones and Neil Edwards proceeded to give the Cornish opening bowlers a torrid time, averaging nearly six an over through their innings. The opening partnership of 193 was broken when Andrew Libby took a good catch off of the spin bowling of captain Matt Rowe, dismissing Edwards for a fine 93. Wes Durston joined Jones adding 33 before Jones fell for 95 to a catch by Tom Hughes off Dan Stephens. Another Cornishman, Carl Gazzard, joined Durston and they compiled a partnership of 67 in 36 minutes before Durston was caught by Alex Smeeth off Sam Hockin's bowling, in the last over. Somerset ended on 299 for 3 from 50 overs with Gazzard 22 not out. Best of the Cornish bowling was Matt Rowe one for 50 off ten overs. Sam Hockin took one for 50 off nine overs and Dan Stephens one for 46 off seven overs.

Cornwall, captained by Matt Rowe, won the toss and elected to bat first. Taylor Williams and Matt Robins opened the batting.

Joe Crane joined Rowe and 56 was added before Crane was caught for 23 by Turpin off of Cheek.

Cornwall (2pts) beat Wiltshire by 115 runs. card

Winning the toss Wiltshire asked Cornwall to bat first on a good looking track which had received some rain on it earlier in the morning. Possibly they soon regretted this decision. Cornwall started at a fairly rapid pace putting runs on the board quickly but losing wickets regularly. The opening pair, Williams and Rowe, put on 59 for the first wicket in 12 overs, Rowe falling for 12 to a stunning catch from the Wiltshire keeper, Steve Bullen, high and to his left in front of first slip. Williams fell for 41 with the score on 73. Partnerships of 31, 50, 32, 94 and 40 respectively then followed. Kelvin Snell and Chris Roberts 94 coming off of only 12 overs with Dan Davis and Joe Crane 50 off of 8 overs. Snell completed a fine innings of 86 from 61 balls including 9 fours and 5 sixes. Davis reaching 66 from53 balls with 13 fours and 1 six. Roberts with 43 and Williams with 41 being the other main scorers. Cornwall,s fifties through the innings coming in 42, 40, 20, 29, 17 and 18 minutes respectively. The Wiltshire bowlers never gave up seeming to try all they knew. Phil Adams 3 for 42 and Simon Beetham 3 for 58 the best of their bowlers. Set 325 to win Wiltshire were soon in trouble, losing their first three wickets for only 32 runs. Steve Bullen,23, and Hugh Kelly, 31, then put together a partnership of 44 to steady the team somewhat. The fourth wicket fell at 76 the fifth at 96 leaving Wiltshire in some trouble. Robert Pittman,62 and Tom Bowler,49no then came together and proceeded to fight back with a partnership of 99 in 17 overs before Pittman fell with the score on 195. Wiltshire saw the overs out to finish on 209 for 6. Best of the Cornwall bowlers was Liam Watson who bowled a superb spell of controlled out swing for figures of 10 overs 4 Mdns 2 for 11.

Following the washed out game against Devon at Truro on Tuesday we did not hold out much hope for the game at Werrington against Dorset on Wednesday. However, following a marvellous effort by the Werrington grounds staff, we started on time at 1pm. Dorset won the toss and asked Cornwall to bat. Robins and Williams put on 66 for the first wicket before the introduction of Stickland, a leg spinner, caused two wickets to fall quite quickly. Both wickets falling to catches by the keeper, Ridley. Partnerships of 38, between Rowe and Davis, and 41, between Rowe and Smeeth, steadied things but nobody went on from good starts to compile a big score. Losing two wickets at 152 Snell and Roberts then compiled a stand of 59. Roberts and Crane then completing the Cornish innings with a stand of 24 bringing the total to 235-7. Stickland finishing with 3-55 from 10 overs. Dorset started their innings with a stand of 41 between Esson and Atkins but Chris Roberts broke this with a wicket in his first over. Dorset then lost wickets on a regular basis, only Jacques, with a defiant 29 offering resistance. Good bowling ,good bowling changes and Cornwall,s usual good fielding and excellent catching again dominant. Five catches being taken.

Devon will pip Cornwall for the title if they beat Wiltshire, home and away, in their remaining two games.

New Cornwall Under 21 Coach Sean Hooper looks forward to the 2008 season.

This is an incredibly important age group to work with as players step out of the excellent Cornwall Schools set up and often have little or no coaching or progression into adult cricket. I have taken over the Under 21s this year after 8 years of hard work from Dick Collins and will work with Jeremy Martin to help manage the team with Steve Raven Sr scoring and hope to provide a close link to the full Cornwall set up. My aim is to help produce players to represent Cornwall at Minor Counties level and to also support players that might want to progress to First Class cricket. In the meantime we will also be trying to win the South West Counties Under 21 competition! There are 8 competition fixtures home and away against Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire and the Isle of Wight and we start with warm up games against Cornwall and Somerset 2nd XI.

The competition is a 50 overs per side win/lose situation as per the World Cup. There is a fantastic amount of talent to pick from and players will need to be on top of their games to be selected. Monthly training sessions will take place, hopefully on the first Thursday of the month, at St Austell CC with the emphasis being on preparation and team building. I hope to include all players that are strong enough to play and understandably the nucleus will come from Premier and Division One clubs though no one will be excluded on that basis alone.

Having been Head Coach of the Under 16/17 Winter programmes for the past 4 seasons I have a good knowledge of most of the players and also benefited from seeing players in Division One last year that I might not normally have seen on Premier duty. I am keen to develop my scouting network and anyone that wants to let me know about players can contact me by email coaching@sharesports.net or by phone 07782187463. We have been fortunate to receive some kit sponsorship from North Gear but would still like to promote a more professional image and sponsorship or other support would be greatly appreciated - please contact me as above if you or your company are interested. Let's hope for some good weather and please come and support the fantastic young talent we have here in Cornwall,

Cornwall came out in a very determined mood but despite some good bowling the first wicket did not fall until the 21st over.

Cornwall Under 21’s won their Southern Counties under 21 Championship game against the Isle of Wight at Ventnor by five wickets. The Islanders won the toss and elected to bat. With some squad members again selected for the senior squad and some late withdrawals Liam Watson, Luke Davis and Matt Lloyd came into the squad for their first time this year. Spinner Andrew Libby and Robin Kendall, wicket keeper retained their places. Taylor Williams again played as a specialist batsman. The Island got off to a good start putting on 42 before the first wicket fell in the 11th over, Libby taking a smart catch off Davis's bowling. With good bowling from Davis, Hocking and Turner the run rate began to slow. The introduction of Dan Stephens and Libby saw wickets begin to fall. Stephens returning figures of 10 overs 2 maidens three for 17. Libby giving able support with 10 overs 3 maidens two for 16. Williams then bowled 8 overs 2 maidens two for 21. Isle of Wight were restricted to 142 for 8 from their 50 overs. In the absence of Joe Crane, called up to the senior side, Tom Hughes and Taylor Williams opened the batting for Cornwall. Facing some fiery bowling from Friend and Gordon they put on 33 for the first wicket when Hughes fell caught & bowled to Morris in his first over for 17. Luke Davis then fell for 2 bringing together brother Dan with Taylor Williams. This pair then posted a stand of 53 before the Island brought on their sixth bowler. His very first ball was a long hop which Williams hit straight down mid-wicket’s throat for 39 and, having crossed Dan Davis, 23, received an almost identical ball with an almost identical result. This brought together Gary Bone and Libby who steadied the ship with a stand of 22 before Libby fell for 14. Sam Hocking joined Bone and they saw the team home with some sensible batting to reach their target.

   Following the demise in 2003 of the ECB funded national tournament a programme of Development XI friendlies were played in 2004.

In 2005 Cornwall got together with Devon, Dorset and the Isle of Wight to form a 'Southern Counties Under 21 competition'. Six one-day fifty over matches were played home and away with Dorset winning the title.

Changes for 2006 will see no overaged players allowed. Previously 2 per team were allowed. All matches will start at 1pm unless mutually agreed. After discussion it has been agreed due to financial constraints to remain with a 50 over format rather than two-day games.
