Cockspur Cup National Results 2008 Updated Group Draws 2008
Falmouth’s venture in this season’s Cockspur Cup ended on Sunday1 June when they went out to Plymouth at Trescobeas by five wickets. The tie was switched to Falmouth on the eve of the game because of the recent heavy rains in Devon. Falmouth were below par with the bat and were bowled out for only 121. Duncan Ayres (30) and George Popperwell (30no) were the chief run scorers. Antony Angove was an absentee as he was representing Cornwall against Devon at St Just. Andy Horrill took three for 25. Callum Whittaker top scored with 37 as Plymouth went on to win by five wickets with two overs to spare. Falmouth skipper Ayres completed a good game taking three for 22. Falmouth 121 (D Ayres 30, G Popperwell 30no; A Horrill 3-25), Plymouth 122-5 (C Whittaker 37, K Willcocks 30, C Barr 28; D Ayres 3-22). Plymouth beat Falmouth by five wickets.
