Devon's cricketers were unable to break down Wales and claim a win in their opening Minor Counties Championhip match against Wales in Sandford.

Somerset's Devon-born youngster Tom Lammonby became just the fourth batsmen to score more than 100 in both innings of a Devon game - the England Under 19 player hit 102 and 100 not out in his two visits to the crease.

Zac Bess (116) and Josh Bess (04) also impressed as Devon declared their opening innings on 476-9 before Josh Bess took four wickets for 30 as Devon restricted the Welsh to 182 all out in reply.

Lammonby's century was the highlight of an excellent second innings as Devon declared on 269-4 leaving Wales an improbably target of 563 to win.

But their bowlers could not get a decisive final wicket as Wales ended the three-day game on 462-9 as former Cornwall player Brad Wadlan top-scored with 118.

Seven members of the group, aged between 21 and 72, were jailed at Exeter Crown Court on Monday, with the remaining three receiving suspended sentences or unpaid community work.

The sentencing was the culmination of Operation Corinth, led by the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit.

A young grey seal with a length of green rope knotted around his neck that wildlife experts are trying to trace has been spotted again off Cornwall.

There are concerns Lucky Star, as the seal has been named, could be strangled as he grows bigger by what is thought to possibly be remnants of lost or discarded fishing equipment, or so-called ghost gear.

He was first spotted on 17 May and has been spotted along the north Cornwall coast at Padstow, Portreath and St Ives. He was apparently seen off Godrevy on Tuesday, again off the north coast.

Anyone who spots Lucky Star is asked to call the British Divers Marine Life Rescue group on 01825 765546, and to give as precise a location for him as possible.

Police in Penzance say they are making a "polite request" for people to park more considerately after a fire crew couldn't get through a narrow street.

Officers said, external a fire engine had difficulty getting through narrow roads near St Mary's CofE, in Redinnick Place, having to just squeeze between parked vehicles and then having to "mount the pavement further up the road".

They added: "Whilst we appreciate that parking in this area is at a premium, and it's sometimes hard to get a space, it doesn't excuse poor parking or leaving very little space for emergency vehicles to get through.

"It delays response times to someone who is in need of help."
