There is good news for the Lightning fans, they have chased down this target in double quick time and they have managed to overtake the Knights and have won the title.

After losing Tector early. Balbirnie and Tucker put together an impressive partnership and looking untroubled whilst they did so.

The Knights couldn't put any pressure with the bowling and at the end of the day, they looked crestfallen well before the end

Andrew Balbirnie has just been named the player of the match. Congratulations to him.

The IP50 trophy has been brought out into the field and soon the players well be heading down to pick up their second trophy in two days. They have won the double.

You'll be able to see them celebrating soon all over the socials.

It's been a great season this year. I just want to thank you for following along all season. I hope that we can do this all again next year?

Until then this is Justin saying bye from Oakhill. Take care of yourselves.
