T20 at Newport CC
Having won promotion in 2012, the squad had the opportunity to play against Berkshire, Somerset and Wales in 2013.
All of these counties are in higher divisions than Cornwall and over the 2 day T20 Cornwall gave solid performances and improved throughout the competition.
This cumulated in the play off against Wales on day 2 when Cornwall set 113 as a target for Wales. Wales started well but Cornwall took regular wickets and fielded well which caused the pressure to mount on Wales with them finally falling 13 short. This win will maintain Cornwall’s presence in the SW 1 T20 group for 2014.
Sophie McKenzie was player of the match with an unbeaten 67 and 3 wickets for 12 off 4 overs whilst Emmie Blamey also took 3 for 9 off 2 overs.
