Agnes travelled to Duke’s Park to take part in their 6th cup final since their last cup success back in 2016 when we defended 95 runs to defeat a peak Brandesburton team.
8 years on and the team was much different. The Flame was dropped after still refusing to apologise for the tweets he released about the Manager. Mark Beckett was visiting former golden boy Louis Beckett in the States and neither of the Nesfield’s have been seen for the last 6 years.
To the game – Agnes lost the toss and were asked to bat. Cam Anderson added to his legacy with 66. MBP 30, Ollie Beckett and Will Watts both crashed sixes at the end and FastFreddie Gunning scored 17 off 7 balls at the end. This was probably 20 above par and was a very good effort.
The bowling display was equally impressive. Ben Traves took 4 wickets to take the leading wicket taker by one wicket. Sam Wragg bowled very well. Then Marley and Charlie Colley were too much for the Middleton tail.
Man of the match went to Cam Anderson. Cam has now equalled Louis Beckett’s record of 8 man of the matches in one season.
Port moment – FastFreddie for his 4 catches and runs.
It felt good to finally taste success again in a cup final. After the game, beers were drunk in the GOAT and then curry was eaten @ Spice 4 U which was kindly sponsored by BMA. Fred Langton behaved like Fred Langton whilst the Manager celebrated in Italy. The Skipper celebrated on his tractor and Jordan Zamunda’s family had another wild street party in the streets of Harare.
