The two sides had been the clear top performers in the C grade competition so it was no surprise the two sides would eventually meet in the decider.

L&D Blue finished as the higher of the two teams and took the minor premiership while L&D Yellow finished in second seven points behind their rivals.

In their two meeting, this season L&D Yellow took the only game which ended in a result with their first meeting ending in a washout.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, L&D Blue was looking to make the most of the early conditions.

It didn’t go the way they would have hoped as they lost Jayden Broadbent (0) and Chris Iannelli (0) as Noah Maybon did the early damage to see L&D Blue fall to 2/3 after three overs.

Jesse Watson (6) didn’t fare much better as L&D were in need of a rebuild when he was caught off the bowling of Angus Howe (1/5).

Charlie Lamont (2) was dismissed by Harrison Steele (1/7), and Cohen Matthews (1) followed closely behind after he was dismissed by Eligh Watson.

Blake McDonald was the backbone for his side’s innings, but it was finding a partner to hang around with him as the tight bowling continued with Maybon (5/6) picking up Flynn Anthony (2), Tyson Collins (0) and Carta Jackson (0) to make sure they couldn’t make a start.

With Watson (2/12) picking up Kurt Young (0) and Thomas Camm (1/17) taking the final wicket of Taine Pauls (4), Blue was bowled out for 56 after 24 overs.

If Blue were to have any chance of success they needed to take early wickets to help to defend the small total.

Yellow had time on their side as they needed to get 57 runs off 210 deliveries which meant they needed to score at 1.6 runs per over.

After the first 10 overs, Yellow was using the time on their hands to their advantage and were 0/17 with Tyler O’Connell and Logan Mahalm.

The pair accelerated the scoring to in the second lot of 10 overs as they got to 57 runs after 19 overs with O’Connell (21*) and Mahalm (27*) guiding their side to a 10-wicket win in the grand final with 96 balls remaining.
