CRICKET: Victory takes Porthleven off last spot in league
In perfect conditions for cricket, Porthleven got the better of their visitors in a tense bottom of the table clash with St Just – winning by 68 runs on Saturday.
Winning the toss, Porthleven batted first and amassed a total of 226-4. Skipper Chris Higgs led the way with an unbeaten 74, alongside Nick Rowe’s 70 in a vital second wicket stand worth 135.
