Press Release
On Sunday The Dragon Leisure Centre, Bodmin was host to Cornwall's opening match of the 2007-08 ESMBA Inter County Championship as Devon were the visitors. Similar to previous seasons, Cornwall's teams experienced mixed fortunes in their respective matches.
The Premier team never led Devon and despite only trailing 7-9 at the half way point, went on to loose 6 out of 8 games in the second half with the only wins coming from Nigel Nicholls in the singles and the four of Gillian Cawrse, Derek Swaby, Nick Truscott and Graham Ford. Final Score - Cornwall 11 Points 152 Shots - Devon 25 Points 190 Shots
The A Team, however, produced a much better performance claiming a maximum 8 points in the first session. A share of the points in the second session meant Cornwall held a healthy score line of 12-5 at the half way mark. Devon hit back in the third session claiming 2 wins and a draw with Cornwall's only win coming from Peter Spargo in the Singles. Cornwall were resilient in the fourth session claiming 3 out of 4 wins to complete a comfortable victory. Final Score - Cornwall 25 Points 193 Shots - Devon 11 Points 148 Shots
