On a pitch showing signs of inconsistent bounce JM Finn started to look in bad shape at 39 for 5 after eight overs, in what looked like a classic collapse, but thanks to a couple of solid contributions, battled to 117 all out.
S&W began their reply steadily but soon came up against a fantastic spell of bowling from JM Finn, with one notable set of figures of 4 wickets for 4 runs in 4 overs, putting JM Finn back in the game. However, S&W soon needed only 31 runs off 36 balls putting the pressure back on. As the match drew to an exciting close, S&W’s leading batsman mistimed a big hit which was brilliantly taken in the deep, to win the cup for JM Finn.
It was a great win for JM Finn to ensure the City Brokers cup was retained. The team will hope to be back next year, to defend the title and make it a hat-trick of wins.
