Luckett’s attack was led by 1-12 from Keith Maynard who plays for Lewdown on Saturdays, although it was James Wilkinson with 3-16 from his four overs that was the pick of the attack.

Brown finished unbeaten on 64 from just 39 balls with seven fours and three sixes, while Marc struck five boundaries in his 32 from 30 before being bowled by Cobb.

Michael Clements hit a trademark six with the end in sight, before Brown was joined by Leion Cole as the winning runs came in the 14th over.

Luckett will take on Roche Seconds in the first semi-final at Finals Day after they won a high-scoring thriller with St Stephen.

Roche’s big score of 209-8 was made possible by a classic knock from the hard-hitting George Oakley.

The youngster smashed eight fours and nine sixes in his 99 from just 40 balls.

St Stephen made a good fist of their reply with skipper Kyle Prophet (88no) and James Harvey (52) in the runs as they ended on 183-4.

Thursday, June 20 saw Lanhydrock Seconds book their spot with a six-wicket success at St Austell Thirds.
