At the other end of the table, Grampound Road, St Just and Werrington are yet to get off the mark.

Werrington will be disappointed having notched up the big score of 264-7 at Ladycross. They reached 186 before losing their third wicket, with John Moon making 50 and Adam Hodgson hitting an unbeaten 98. Six visiting bowlers shared the wickets.

The two Tobys, Whiteford and Stoddard, then shared an opening stand of 110. Stoddard went for 48, and Whiteford went on to make 95. Elliot Stoddard (74no) and Dulash Udayanga (38no) then shared an unbroken stand of 101 to secure the win with over four overs to spare.

Callington made the long trip to the far west and came away relieved to get a nine-run victory at St Just in a game that could have gone either way. Liam Lindsay made 54 and Graham Wagg 32 for the visitors, but they lost their last seven wickets for 39 to be dismissed for 152 in the 48th over. Joe Clifton Griffiths picked up three wickets in the space of three runs to start the collapse.
