The first XI became the only unbeaten team in the Devon League after a winning draw at Yelverton, at 90-7 batting first, Lewdown showed the strength in depth, recovering to 195 all out, in reply Yelverton reached 160-8 without ever really threatening the Lewdown total.
Full match report and scorecard to follow soon in results.

As a result of well structured and committed coaching from Lewdown CC’s ECB qualified coaches, 14 boys have been selected, after trials, to represent their County and District.

Winter indoor coaching at Parkland, Okehampton, was well attended by the under 13 and under 11 ages, which led into well structured Friday evening sessions as well as private one to one sessions with Club coaches. Many of the juniors are now playing 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd XI senior cricket for the club, which has contributed to both the 1^st and 2^nd XI gaining promotion this season.

Ben Williams, Jack Williams, Billy Searle and Dan Fogerty have all played regularly for Devon this season and will now progress onto off season development squads.

Callum Worth and Leon Horn have represented Devon B and will shortly be starting a 30 week programme of intense coaching.

Tallan Burns, Dan Butler, Tom Pearce, Tom Pengelly, Harry Williams, James Weekes, Kian Burns and James White have all been selected for their respective age groups and will join their development squads over the winter. The girls trials will be held soon and we are hopeful that our talented group will progress.

Club spokesman Brenden Worth commented ‘the hard work and dedication of the coaches, allied with the desire to improve from the children has produced results. There is a wonderful club culture, where we all want to get better and have fun, which allows for all abilities to take part and to excel’.

11 points clear at the top witrh 1 game to play. 10 points in the last game at home v Dartington & Totnes will ensure that the 2nds go up as champions.

Both boys took the next step on their cricketing journey as they were selected to represent Devon B at Under 10 today.

Callum opened the bowling and was the quickest bowler on show. Leon captained and bowled his bemusing spin.

Both performed very well and will have caught the eye of the Devon selector!

Our First team were crowned D Division champions after their winning draw against Ottery St Mary on Saturday and will be representing the club in the C Division for the first time in the clubs history. The 15 points gained on Saturday has put the team 80 points clear at the top with 3 games and 60 points to play for.
Full match report and scorecard can be found in the results section.

Tiverton and Bickleigh were soundly beaten by the 1st XI on Saturday, with Ashburton and Yelverton both losing the 1's are now a massive 72 points clear at the top and need just 6 more points to gain promotion.

The team will be looking to continue this great run of results and will hopefully be true to the the other teams in this division by not taking their foot off the pedal.
