The next round is on Wednesday, June 4 and, as Baker mentioned in a previous interview with the Torbay Weekly, Newton Races is going to get better and better.

As I sit down to write this on Monday morning, I find myself reflecting on what an incredible weekend we’ve just experienced at this year’s English Riviera Airshow. I know I said something similar last year, but it’s worth repeating — this year’s Airshow was one of the best we’ve ever had. The weekend began with a fantastic Friday evening on Paignton Green.

1 week ago | torbayweekly.co.uk | David Hammond

Looking skywards was the norm in Paignton on Saturday afternoon, but the aerial airshow acrobatics failed to distract or disrupt the town 1st XI’s impeccable start to the Tolchards Devon Cricket League Premier Division. Visitors Exeter elected to bat and were 57-6 at one point before recovering to 160 all out. Ayabulela Gqamane (4-22) again led the way with the ball, stoutly supported by Rory Medlock (3-26). Paignton held their catches well, fielding like the hungry in-form unit they are.
