Torquay Times and South Devon Advertiser: Friday 7th June 1901

Cricket: On Saturday last, White, Chatton and Co. met Bovey for the first time at Bovey, and the visitors emerged from the contest with great credit and a win with 15 runs to boot …  Winning the toss, the visitors went in first, Harding and French facing the bowling of W. Pinsent and Staddon. … Davey, the captain, played steadily, assisting Cribbett to put on a few more runs. His contribution totalled five. Tucker and Kernick came out very cheaply, and neither Wotten nor Ward troubled the scorer at all. A special word of praise is due to A. Pinsent who captured 4 wickets for 7 runs and brought off the hat trick. … The home team on going in looked like winning the match with very little difficulty, Staddon, and Carpenter scoring at a great pace. … The only other batsman on the home side, with the exception of the two already named, to make any stand against Davey’s bowling was W. Pinsent who played very carefully for 10.

elsewhere: White Chatton & Co. v. Bovey 2nd XI: 65 all out (W. Pinsent 4 wickets for 5 runs; A. Pinsent 4 wickets for 9 runs): Bovey 2nd XI: 50 … includes … W. Pinsent, run out 10, … A. Pinsent, b. Watson, 0. …
