Tom Watkin’s third century this season helped Plymouth College 1st X1 beat West Buckland School by 81 runs. After putting on 35 in 6 overs with Tom Passmore, Watkins shared a partnership of 180 with Jake Libby. Plymouth College finished 265-6 off 35 overs.
West Buckland started confidently putting on 51 very quickly. But wickets started to tumble and despite a spirited performance from West Buckland’s Bentley, Plymouth College won by 81 runs.
Tom Watkins wasn’t the only Plymouth College cricketer to score a century that day - U13 captain and Devon player, David Ackford, scored 112 in his match against West Buckland. Both cricketers are also Yelverton Bohemian players.
