Match 5 - the final - Finchampstead eagles

Shinfield bowled first.

Finch made 77 for 0 off their six overs. A great bowling display all round by Shinfield

Shinfield needed 78 to win which was going to be a tough ask.

Every boy played exceptionally well and we came so close to pulling it off against the home side but in the end, their solid batting and clean sheet at the crease meant it wasn't Shinfield's turn this time. We just missed it by one run on the last ball!

A really fantastic performance Aadi, Bhavesh, Awais, Vedant, Sam and Edward. Man of the tournament went to Aadi. Shinfield came Second in the tournament.

Hi. It's me again. In the tournament all the Shinfield players - who played in the tournament - were given a silver medal. I was also given a captains trophy and, as you already know, man of the tournament award. I really wanted to win the tournament last year, but luck wasn't on Shinfield's side! I'm determined to win the tournament this year, and I look forward to it being back to the outdoor cricket season!
