BRIDESTOWE started their season with an intra-club 30-over game, the two sides were captained by Eddy Jones and Tallan Burns.

Team Jones batted first and posted 163-9, with Jones (39), Tom Pengelly (25), and Gary Sizmur (39) leading the way.

Leon Horn (4-43) had the pick of the bowling figures.

Team Burns looked to be heading to an embarrassing defeat when they collapsed to 28-6. The early wickets fell to Lee Juston (3-7) and Tom Fogerty (2-11).

A 90-run partnership between Sam Ewen (43) and Brandon Horn (43) got them back into the game.

Ewen and Horn eventually fell to Sizmur (2-37), but Dan Fogerty (18no) and last man Tom Pearce (22no) steered Team Burns to victory in the last over.
