Victory means Bovey are safe

BOVEY Tracey can breathe easy after beating Bradninch by six wickets to secure their Premier Division status.

Bovey have been fourth in the table for a while but, mathematically, they could have been overhauled by second-bottom Exeter until Saturday.

Bradninch made 164-6 in a game reduced to 40 overs a side – Haydn Murray making a top score of 53.

Murray was the middle-order anchorman, batting through from 41-2 to 122-5 when he was run out.
