GRAND FINAL SUNDAY WRAP

A day of deciders across Darwin yesterday! Congratulations to our Sunday League premiers who lifted the silverware after two cracking Grand Finals.

Sunday League 1
Tracy Village Sunday 1 Red claimed the premiership in a low-scoring thriller at Tracy Village Oval! Joel Spry led the charge with the ball, taking 4-32 to help dismiss PINT for 104. Despite a fierce fightback from the Greens with the ball, Tracy Village held their nerve to chase down the target 6 wickets down in the 29th over.

PINT Sunday 1 Gold: 10/104 (30.3) – Jay Temme 37; Joel Spry 4-32, Puneet Sidhu 2-16

Tracy Village Sunday 1 Red: 6/105 (28.5) – Wiehan Beukes 23; Robin Baitan 2-9, Amit Saini 2-11

Result: Tracy Village won by 4 wickets

Sunday League 2
Over at Gardens Oval, PINT Sunday 2 put together a complete performance to take out the Sunday 2 flag! After setting a competitive total of 9/164 from their 35 overs, PINT turned up the heat in the field, bowling out Waratah Warriors for 97 in the 25th over to secure a 67-run victory.

PINT Sunday 2: 9/164 (35.0)

Waratah Warriors Sunday 2 University: 10/97 (24.2)

This weekend marks finals action for our most committed cricketers: the ones who would play every day of the week if they could!

Best of luck to all players and teams competing in the Sunday League Semi-Finals.
