Well it was moved from Longparish to Hedge End and then at the eleventh hour to IBM Hursley (and rest assured that high level enquiries are taking place, as I write, over the shenanigans over hosting this tournament) 

The air hung heavy with mizzle and drizzle, but all concerned had traveled many miles and were keen to get the game on so agreement over a 16 over aside affair was swift. 

IBM Hursley batted first and all bar the Longparish wicket keeper got a bowl as IBM Hurlsey U13 closed on 111 for 5 with Jack Proctor, Hamish Jannaway, Oliver Wills, Bruno Matley and Arlo Matley taking a wicket each. 

The Longparish U13 reply began well with Oliver Wills and skipper, Luke Benzing putting on 45 for the first wicket before Wills departed for 20. Benzing departed soon after for 17, but a 61 run partnership between Hamish Jannaway and Bailey Samson-Bridgen saw Longparish to within a few runs of the target before Samson Bridgen holed out for 14 leaving man of the match, Hamish Jannaway to hit a boundary, taking him to an unbeaten 32, and securing a 7 wicket win for Longparish, a bucket full of medals and the much traveled Barfoot Plate.

Well done Longparish U13, it was great to watch!
