“It was a great performance by the team in the two games we played on finals day. The lads played some really positive cricket throughout the tournament and we beat some strong such, as Shirtley and Attock, to get to the final. We were able to blend youth and experience and I’m thrilled we’ve finished as champions.

“We are proud to win another trophy and we hope to see a few more at Station Road by the end of the season. We thank Leamington CC and the League for putting on such a great tournament.”
