Openers Tom Lock (58) and Aussie newcomer Jerry Bedford (67) contributed a half-century each towards Heathcoat’s 45-over tally of 182 for seven.

Sam O'Nyons (5-31) was Ottery’s stand-out bowler.

Half-centuries from Rhys Norman (62) and Hayden Johnstone (52) kept Ottery in the hunt, but they slowed in the final five overs and were all out for 167.

BRADNINCH & Kentisbeare 2nd XI consigned Alphington & Countess Wear to a seven-wicket defeat after bowling them out for 110.

There were more extras (37) than any individual score in the AwCW total as James Mills (3-20) and Ankit Badwal (4-17) did the damage.

Joe Gillett (36) and Eliot Acton (26no) led the B&K run chase.
