A solid 65 not out from Paul Stobbart took Devizes to victory in the opening Cockspur Cup (National Club Championship) first round clash against Malmesbury on Sunday.
Three wickets from Paul Vooght and Andy Langan saw Malmesbury all out for 142.
In reply, an opening partnership from Stobbart and Tom Edwards (32) of 78 set the foundations for victory.
With the loss of Edwards, Nick Paget and Stobbart closed in on victory, but with a single needed for victory, Paget was caught at extra cover for 22.
The next over saw Stobbart finish the match off in style, with a thumping back foot drive through the covers taking Devizes to victory and round two.
