Cornwall v Buckinghamshire  Scorecard

Cornwall kept their NCCA Trophy hopes alive with a convincing win over Buckinghamshire at Redruth by 124 runs. Their final group game is away to Devon on Sunday at Cornwood Cricket Club near Ivybridge. To qualify for the quarter-finals, Cornwall has to win and by a significant margin to overtake Devon’s superior net run rate. Berkshire has already qualified with a game to spare and will get a home quarter-final if they defeat winless Buckinghamshire at Chesham. Cornwall didn’t get off to the best of starts losing Billy Taylor, the recalled Toby Whiteford and Karl Leathley for just 26 runs. Professional Will MacVicar then anchored the innings to end on 98 not out off 130 balls that included three sixes. Max Tryfonos (35) and Paul Smith (34) gave good support before Alex Bone (18) added 50 for the sixth wicket. The innings ended with a flourish as 18 came off the final over.

Bucks got to 43-1 before the innings fell apart with Ben Ellis taking 3-20 from ten overs after MacVicar (3-29) had removed both openers. Ellis Whiteford, on his home ground, took 4-48 including bowling top scorer Billy Mead for 33. The visitors were 89-9 at one stage before Cameron Parsons (16no) and last man Max Uttley (17) added 32 for the final wicket crucially increasing Cornwall’s run rate requirements

Cornwall will need to beat Devon at Cornwood in the final group game next Sunday to claim the runners-up spot.

However, it will need to be by a similar decisive margin to overtake Devon's superior net run rate.

Berkshire are guaranteed a place in the quarter-finals with a game to spare,
