SIDMOUTH will represent the East Devon Indoor Cricket League at the county finals night on Sunday.

They and Clyst Hydon had been waiting for an adjudication on who would go forward after both teams finished the qualifying period on the same points, having lost one game each.

Sidmouth edged through on net wickets, the difference between wickets taken and lost.

In the first semi final at the Devon Cricket Centre of Excellence on the Exeter University Campus they will meet Bovey Tracey, starting at 6.15pm. Cornwood and Shobrooke Park contest the other semi final.

?In their most recent match, Sidmouth’s first four batsmen all registered the retirement score of 25 as the side amassed 182-3 against Newton St Cyres.

With the other two players lasting only four balls between them, there were second helpings for Anthony Griffiths who went on to make 57 not out, Anthony Dibble, run out for 34 and Miles Dalton unbeaten on 30. Charlie Miles's 25 was a brief affair, taking seven balls.

Newton St Cyres' reply was restricted to 74-5, Rob Ingram unbeaten on 27.

?Having bowled Ottery St Mary out for 95 in 10 overs, Yarcombe & Stockland spurned their chance of victory and finished 22 runs adrift with two wickets in hand.
