FALMOUTH Cricket Club are the indoor cricket six-a-side county champions for the third successive year after beating Werrington at Fowey Leisure Centre on Tuesday evening by 46 runs.
Falmouth, having been put in, went about the task with purpose scoring runs from almost every delivery. However, wickets fell and both Mark Burley and Larry Martin were out for six and ten respectively. The Falmouth innings was then somewhat rescued by a superb stand of 76 between Antony Angove (41 not out) and Stefan Churcher (46 not out) plus a quick fire 24 from Richard Kellow to see the innings finish on 143-4 from their 12 overs.
Werrington got off to the worst possible start with Matt Robbins failing to trouble the scorers. Mark Horwell and Nigel Dennis put things back on track, both retiring on 25. Some momentum was then lost. Rob Dymond made four, Bas Allen 0, and Roy Cobbledick 13 before Horwell and Dennis returned to the crease. It was a big ask to win the game and the pair fell for 36 and 26 respectively as Werrington were dismissed for 97
Falmouth now represent Cornwall against the Somerset champions at the County Ground, Somerset on Sunday, February 20.
Falmouth 143-4 (S Churcher 46no, A Angove 41no, R Kellow 24) beat Werrington 97 (M Horwell 36, N Dennis 26; S Churcher 2-14) by 46 runs
