The island teens, backed by several mainland youngsters (Ruffell among them) spent plenty of time chasing leather as Cornwall openers Billy Taylor (127) and Dan Phillips, with a century in each innings, dominated the square. The pair put on 242 in the first innings and 148 in the second as Cornwall ran up 414 and 224-4 in the second, Shanton Shahne taking 4-56.
The IOW responded with 276 - Ruffell making 79 and Oscar Vandercasteele 52 - before setting out on their mammoth yet successful run fourth innings chase. Ruffell led the way with 108, supported by Francis Moore (52), Sam Mills (42), Will Mew (31) and Josh Carpenter with a key 26 not out at the end.
