Rexworthy came in with Stogumber tottering on 71 for 4 in reply to the home side’s 135. The skipper quickly set about the bowling and with 8 fours and one six the total was achieved comfortably with 14 overs to spare. Rexworthy was given solid support by Nick Bennett (18 not out) and earlier Robbie Watts (36) and Simon Penny (20) showed good early season form.
