Mullion didn’t have the best of starts losing Kevin Bosustow for eight when he was caught off Josh Wingfield with the score at 25. Stephen Green followed to make it 55 for two.

The innings was rebuilt as David Gray found a good partner in Jim Pearson as the pair added 76 for the third wicket before Pearson was dismissed by Paul Ladner for 15. Gray went on to reach his maiden century before being out for 101 having hit a six and eleven fours.

The Mullion innings was given a late boost as Mark Hall made his first 50 of the season. He was run out for 51 but with Tom Retallack hitting 25 not out Mullion reached an impressive 234 for five off their 48 overs. Wingfield was the best of the home attack taking two for 38 from his ten overs.

Redruth got off to a bad start losing Darren Cliff for 12 and Ben Page for nine with only 16 on the board. Aaron Wallace gave hope making 37 and Craig Williams hit 16 before being run out but wickets continued to tumble.
