Victory means Bovey are safe

BOVEY Tracey can breathe easy after beating Bradninch by six wickets to secure their Premier Division status.

Bovey have been fourth in the table for a while but, mathematically, they could have been overhauled by second-bottom Exeter until Saturday.

Victory puts Bovey 45 points ahead of Exeter with 40 to play for, leaving them free to concentrate on finishing fourth – or even catching Plymouth for third spot.

Bradninch made 164-6 in a game reduced to 40 overs a side – Haydn Murray making a top score of 53.

Murray was the middle-order anchorman, batting through from 41-2 to 122-5 when he was run out.

Joe Webb moved the score along in the dying stages with a brisk 40 not out off 28 balls.

Pick of the bowling for Bovey with 2-37 was the ever eager Ryan Bougourd.

Bovey endured a hesitant start that saw openers Chris Clayton and Chris Bradley fall cheaply to Ross Acton (3-40).

Andy Kingdon (21) was just getting going when he fell lbw,... read on
