London team beats South Wales Dragons by six wickets in thrilling final at Lord's Metro, the London-based VI cricket team, made blind cricket history on August 11, setting new records as they batted to victory against last year's winners in the BBS Primary Club National Knockout Cup. The record smashing started with the score on 100/3 when Metro's opening batsman Matt Dean was
joined by Andy Mckeating. Dean reached the
highest ever cup final score (92) and was only
dismissed after a partnership of 106, another cup
final record.
Dragons' Howard Greenhill also made it into the history books becoming only the second person in the cup's history to achieve two 50's in the final. "It was great to win in the highest scoring cup final
of all time," said Dave Townley, Metro Captain. "It was one of the best games of cricket
I've ever played in: very exciting, very competitive
and it was a massive honour for me personally to lift
the Cup at Lord's
." "The quality of cricket in this competition keeps on improving every year and we're delighted to be able to keep supporting it thanks to our members' generous donations," added Derek Underwood, Primary Club Patron. "The BBS Primary Club Knockout Cup provides a much needed showcase for VI cricket and it also plays a vital part in British sporting history. The records that have been set today show how important this tournament is for nurturing talented VI players." The cup and medals were presented by Primary Club Area Representative David Bentley. | |
