The newly-formed East Devon Bash T-20 league has seen its first tied match.

In the second week of the pink ball competition, Kilmington Swingers and Seaton Pirates both hit 145 runs.

Seaton won the toss and elected to bat. They lost five wickets in the process but not before opener Josh Cann hit a brilliant 91 not out before being bowled by Oliver Reed. Only one other player, Ben Morgan (17), reached double figure.

The Seaton wickets were shared between Ollie Reed, Robert Crabb, Josh Short and Dean Wills.

Kilmington lost seven wickets in their 145-run innings with John Short top scoring on 45 and useful contributions from Tom Oliver (23 not out) and Sam Olive (22).

Ben Morgan was Seaton's best bowler, returning figures of 3 for 19 off four overs.

In the other week-two game, Upottery Kestrels proved to be too strong for Risig Ottery Super Beavers.

Ottery won the toss and put Upottery into bat. In building a total of 175, they lost seven wickets but got a decent start from openers Jack Larcombe and Ryan Pulman, who both scored 42. James Mitchum weighed in with 47 useful runs.

Matt Jeacock returned Ottery's best bowling figures of 2-23 off his four overs.

In reply, Ottery were sent packing in the 17th over for 83 with Jack Smith top scoring on 28.

The Uplyme Muffin Men v Honiton Hawks was cancelled because Honiton could not raise a team so the five points go to Uplyme.
