Berkshire opened their defence of the NCCA Championship with a draw against Devon at the Falkland club in Newbury this week after having only one opportunity to bat, writes Dave Wright. Berkshire made a dreadful start to their reply, losing their first five wickets for just 47 in 16 overs. Devon extended that lead to 48 for the loss of one wicket before the rain arrived and brought an early close to Monday's play. --When Berkshire won the MCCA Trophy in 2019 - and they are still the champions - their semi-final victims were Wiltshire. Bucks take 22 points from the game to Norfolk's five, the visitors having been deducted two points for a slow over rate
