3rd Grade fall short
In one of the closet Grand Finals seen for many years, Maddington went down to Cockburn with just 7 balls and one wicket remaining.

Maddington won the toss and batted first and scored 218, which looked a good score for a Grand Final. Thomas Plummer made 42 while Anthony Richardson made a quick fire 70. At one stage, Maddington was 5-189 but lost their last 5 wickets for just 29. The following day, even though the bowlers tried hard, wickets were hard to come by, with Cockburn making a number of good partnerships. Cockburns 9th wicket fell at 187, but a last wicket stand of 33 saw Cockburn score the winning run off the second last over of the game.

Thanks to all the supporters from both sides for their support and encouragement.
