BRADNINCH & Kentisbeare thumped Sidmouth by a whopping 131 runs to make it two wins out of two at the top of the Tolchards Devon County League Premier Division table.
The defending Premier champions have started as they hope to go on with back-to-back maximum points wins over Heathcoat and now Sidmouth.
Opener Tim Piper (61) played the anchorman role for B&K towards a 50-over total of 255 for nine. Along the way he shared in stands that took the total of 190 for five.
A stand of 76 for the third wicket with Dan Hardy (38) was topped-up by chip-ins from Jon Triner (21), Adam Kent (30) and Josh Farley (30). Forty-four extras helped.
Sidmouth's Ethan-John Cunningham, the former South African under-19 batter, showed he could bowl a bit too with match figures of five for 40.
Sidmouth ran into early problems against B&K left-armer Ross Acton (4-27), who nabbed four wickets in a running total of 51 for five.
Cunningham (20) was among them. Farley (2-23) turned the screw a little more as 51 for five became 57 for seven.
