Nolans 5, March 15 & 16: CPCC have finished the season with a B2 Premiership after one of the most dramatic finals ever witnessed at Nolans. Leaving the ground on Saturday dejected after Belrose were 2 for 50 chasing their small 121 total, the Towers regrouped behind Peter Clark and Andrew Coates' inspired bowling to take a first innings win by just 2 runs. This was despite a dramatic start to the day with Matt Moore tearing a calf muscle warming up, serious enough for him to be carried from the ground and Kev Faulkner joined him on the injury list with a suspected broken finger. The drama however, didn't end there. CPCC were soon looking into the precipice within minutes of batting again as they collapsed to 6 for 20. Matt Moore used crutches to get to the crease and there he stayed for over an hour, supported by Paul Rovere and finally the wounded Kev Faulkner. Belrose finally faced a target of 60 runs in about 15 minutes. Lusty batting created chaos on the field leaving 8 runs to get off the final over. With 6 runs to get, a wicket fell and time was called leaving CPCC ahead with the first innings result.

Over at Kierle Park 1, the B3s mounted a spirited comeback on day 2 to have Minor Premiers Long Reef in the hole at 5 for 35. Matt Richards picked up several valuable wickets however Long Reef recovered to pass CPCC 6 wickets down. The B3s played it out to the end walking off proudly after their first (for most) Grand Final appearance.
