Minor Counties: Cornwall's title hopes over despite high total
- From the section Cricket
Cornwall's slim hopes of winning the Minor Counties Western Division title have ended despite them making their highest batting total for 10 years.
They made 414-8 against Wales on day one at Usk, but leaders Oxfordshire got the bonus points they needed at Wiltshire to take them over the line.
Brad Wadlan top-scored for Cornwall on Sunday with 108 in their final three-day game of the season.
It means Cornwall cannot now overtake Oxfordshire regardless of the results.

| Crush local rivals Devon by 158 runs at Truro |
| Drew with Wiltshire at Grampound Road |
| Ease to 262 run win over Cheshire |

Cornwall's first innings total was their best since hitting 473 against Herefordshire at Truro in July 2005.
Wales were 65 for 2 at the close of play, with the match continuing on Monday.
