Tasmania with the Shield final by 7 wickets. The Blues gave themselves a chance but declaring early last night but they didn't take their chances and the Tigers batted sensibly today to win the game before tea.

Alex Doolan finishes 65 not out and Mark Cosgrove 44 not out. Tasmania will celebrate a thoroughly deserved victory.

Ed Cowan has been named Man of the Match for his 133 in the first innings. It was a superb dispay of concentration and determination.

That's it from Bellerive. The Sheffield Shield has been claimed by the home side Tasmania for only the second time in their history. On behalf of Andrew Fuss this is Alex Malcolm saying thanks for your company over the last five days. Good bye.
