ADAM Creasey continued his sensational start to the summer with a remarkable 170 not out as South Petherwin went top of Division Three with a 67-run success at fellow title hopefuls Saltash on Saturday.

Batting at five, Creasey came in with the score at 65-3, and was still there at the end having faced just 88 balls and struck 14 fours and 13 sixes. He shared stands of 101 with Adrian Warne (30) and 123 with skipper Jacob Masters (31no).

Having reached his century in the 39th over, he managed a further 70 in the latter stages in a display that will live long in the memory.

The home side replied with a solid 251-5, the pick of the bowlers being Paul Clements with a miserly 1-26 off his nine.

St Minver racked up 308-2 at home to Roche Seconds but were soundly beaten by five wickets.

Centuries from Ben Hawken (119no) and South African newcomer Alex Scullard (133no) gave the hosts a chance, and although Rob Hawken’s 1-31 was miserly, Roche were guided home by centuries from James Cole (120) and Tyler Trudgeon (101no).

Launceston made it four wins on the spin in Division Four with an emphatic eight-wicket success at home to St Stephen.

Despite being without Shane Davey, opening bowlers Mohammed Zohaib (2-17) and Ryan Vanstone (2-28) got the early breakthroughs, before Matthew Bloomfield’s miserly 3-4 from seven overs helped dismiss the Clay Country outfit for just 72. Liam Tilley was 38 not out in reply.

Werrington Thirds eased to a seven-wicket success over Gorran.

The visitors were dismissed for just 150 with braces for Freddie Ward (2-10), Tyler May (2-41), Sam Uglow (2-26) and Tyler Jasper (2-21), before Toby Ward’s 74 saw them home with Henry Howson (29no) and Dan Warring (26) also contributing.
