Our Championship side travelled to Heathcote to play in the T20 final which was rain delayed, but after some grounds work played got underway about an hour and half after the scheduled start but no overs were lost. Heathcote won the toss and elected to bat first.
Burnside were dynamic in the field and were rewarded with early wickets and two run outs. Will Kennedy the pick of the bowlers with 3 overs 2 for 18. Heathcote batted their 20 overs and ended up with 112, Shaun Berryman 27 of 22 and William Hocquard 23 off 26 including 2 sixs.
Joel Williams who captained the side and Will Kennedy opened the batting for BWCU and they were superb with some clean hitting as well some sharp running between the wickets. Their opening partnership of 94 proved to be match winning with Will Kennedy getting out stumped for 53. Joel batted on for 58* to secure the win.
Will Kennedy was award man of the match award with his bowling, run out in the field and superb knock with the bat.
A special mention to the following players who contributed to the campaign and didn’t take part in the final yesterday: Toby Hull, Fergus McIntosh, JJ Naude, Alex Heenan, David Sewell, Nick Smith, Issac Milne.
