CHAMPIONS Penzance saw their fearsome pace quartet dismantle Werrington to run out ten-wicket winners at St Clare on Saturday.

On a day where the weather had a huge say in the top two divisions and wiped out the majority of games across the county, Penzance won the toss and chose to field.

Another shower meant play eventually got underway an hour and 40 minutes late at 2.40pm as a 32-over game.

But the following 21.5 overs will go down in home folklore, and in Werrington’s case their lowest score by some distance since their first Premier Division campaign back in 2004.

Tommy Sturgess got the ball rolling by dismissing John Moon in the first over via a leading edge.

Adam Hodgson followed when he top-edged former Tron favourite Tom Dinnis, before former captain Ben Smeeth was castled by Sturgess (10-3).

Sri Lankan pro Thulina Dilshan fell to Dinnis for just four, before Dinnis (4-13 off 7) dismissed best mate Mark Gribble and George Rickard to leave the visitors 25-6.

Such is the luxury of riches in the home attack, stand-in skipper Jack Paull then brought on Pakistani pro Mehran Sanwal and left-arm speedster Josh Croom.

They soon dismissed the rest of the Werrington line-up as nobody made more than Nick Lawson’s nine as the end came at 40.

Sanwal ended with 2-6 from his four overs, while Croom had 2-7 from 3.5.

The chase was over in seven overs as openers Christian Purchase and Jack Paull were unbeaten on 23 and 20 respectively as the visitors headed back up the A30 without a single bonus point for their efforts.

However, Werrington are still 10 points clear of bottom side Grampound Road as they look to extend their 21-year stay in the top-flight.
