Search forFort bid to beat drop at Exeter CS

Chris Bowes and Paul Rowe come in to replace the experienced duo for the season-ending fixture at Foxhayes.
Fort, who have not enjoyed the best of fortune this year, did their cause a power of good last time out with a 92-run victory over Lustleigh.
Sykes top-scored for Fort, who posted 164-9, and then Jamie Reynolds took five for 17 to shatter Lustleigh's reply.
The 18-point haul has edged Fort away from the relegation places and batsman Luke Dennis insists a further five more tomorrow would end all further worries.
He said: "What a result last week – after being put in we batted well and then Jamie Reynolds blew them away.
"We go to Exeter tomorrow needing five points and I fully expect us to get them at the very least.
"After the season we have had in terms of luck it would be a massive achievement to stay up.
"Maybe with just a little luck it could have been a different story, because we are the only side not to play bottom club Cullompton, and we have had the most rain-offs."
Woodland Fort: R Stone (capt), L Dennis, M Humphries, M Mackay, P Rowe, A Ivey, M Burnett, J Reynolds, M Draper, C Bowes, G Blake.
