Lawrenny won the toss and chose to bowl, Ryan Morton (2-43) and Oscar Lewis (2-32) the damage dealers in their attack. However, they could do little to stop Tom Mansbridge (112) as he added another century to the family tally this season. Nick Cope (43) and Sam Franklin (34) backed him up, working their side into an exciting position with the league on the line. Tom Mansbridge (3-7), Jon Mansbridge (3-17) and Ollie Cook (3-16) did an effective job at putting down the chase before it could get close, efforts from Oscar Lewis (27) and Charlie Arthur (19) ultimately unable to play spoiler to Saundersfoot being crowned Champions.

Robert Hood (4-30), Harry Nicholas (3-12) and Dean John (2-36) shared in the haul to present their batsmen with a relatively simple day at the office.

Burton’s bowlers were not without success, Jon Scale (2-34), Morgan Scale (2-62), Luke Hayman (2-63) and James Davies (2-78) all picked up two wickets each to see their opponent off in spite of their huge total. Burton batted valiantly in the chase, Toby Hayman (76) and Dan Ridge (29) giving their team a platform. The mountain proved too big to climb however, as Llew Jones (3-30) and Ryan Williams (2-65) did the business with the ball to seal their win with relative comfort.
