Mulgrave 181 defeated Knoxfield 162 ( M Crozier 4/15, L Waldron 2/34, J Hunter 2/21)
What a fantastic finish to a very tight game.
We started the 3rd day needing 8 wickets in 16 overs. Knoxfield required 94 runs at six an over with 8 wickets in hand,
The wet outfield from the heavy dew made it very difficult for the bowlers to hold the ball. We were unable to take a wicket for the first 6 overs and the final seemed to be slipping away. Leigh Waldron finally broke through taking 2 wickets in consecutive balls in his final over. Cohen Howell was bowling tightly and Mason Crozier (4/15) and Josh Hunter (2/21) were ripping through the Knoxfield batting.
When Hayden Crozier stumped their last batsman off Josh Hunter, we had won a very close and exciting Grand Final. We had captured the last 8 wickets for just 30 runs.
Congratulations to the team on a fantastic performance and thank you to those club members who came to support us.
