FENWICK CUP FINAL RESULT

On a scorching Sunday afternoon in Aldbrough St John, Barningham won the Fenwick Cup by a mammoth 110 runs against Cockerton.

After winning the toss, skipper Harry Tunstall chose to bat. And it didn't take long for Barningham to find themselves in what could've been a precarious position, with 2 wickets down for 24 runs within the first 4 overs.

A ship-steadying 63-run partnership between opener Rob Stanwix (37) and top-scorer Ralph Makepeace (38) helped to settle the innings.

A couple more quick wickets found Sammy Quallis (31*) and Mark Walker (33) together at the crease. Smashing 9 boundaries between them as they helped to propel Barningham to a total of 178.

Cockerton's chase never got going as Sammy Quallis and Joe Blackburn tore through their top order. Stifling any real chances Cockerton might've had of winning the cup. Both bowlers finishing with figures of 3 wickets for 10.

This brought about a test match survival style of batting from Cockerton as they looked to see out the remaining overs. Mark Walker (1 for 9) and Carl Irving (1 for 25) with the other wickets for Barningham.

In the end, Barningham came away with a convincing victory to win the Fenwick Cup for the second year in a row. 🏆

Huge thanks to Aldbrough St John CC for putting together a good competition and hosting the final.
