THREE consecutive centuries by Uplyme & Lyme Regis all-rounder Tyler Wellman, a feat unknown in local recreational cricketing circles, clinched the Nub News Sport top ten batting award.

Tyler topped the top ten batting list with a 353 runs scored during the Devon mini-league games and wins £125 for his club and a trophy to mark his achievement.

At his club's recent presentation night, Tyler was presented with a silver salver as a reminder of the season when he broke all batting records.

In the bowling top ten, Seaton captain Ben Morgan topped the table with 16 wickets taken in the six games. He, too, wins £125 for his club and a trophy.

Uplyme, who won the tier 5 competition, dominated the batting statistics. Joe Elsworth was placed second with 287 runs and Steve Batey third with 227 runs despite the fact he only played in four of the six games.

Kilmington also had three players in the top ten batting table and three Seaton 2nds players also featured prominently

In the bowling table, Steve Batey (Uplyme) was placed second with 11 victims and Alfie Wraight (Axminster) third with nine wickets.

The trophies will be present by Karl Hancock, chief executive of Nub News, at a date and venue to be confirmed.

The competition was opened to all the clubs in the Axminster Nub News and Seaton Nub News area – Seaton 1sts, Seaton 2nds, Kilmington, Axminster, Uplyme & Lyme Regis and Chardstock.
