Tonbridge CC went into the last game of the Indoor League season needing 7 points to win the league.
Tonbridge CC lost the toss and were asked to bat. Martin Batley (20)and Khurram Shehzad (19) got Tonbridge off to a good start. Then followed Nick Helyar (22) who gave the innings a boost by smashing 3 sixes in an over followed by Chirag Patel, Nadeem Shahzad and Julius Marshall all chipping in with the runs finishing on 122 runs in 12 overs.
Linton Park CC started aggressively with a 50 runs + opening partnership but then Tonbridge bowlers got their act together and contained the opposition with Chirag Patel and Nadeem Shehzad being the pick of the bowlers.
It has been a good start to the year and everyone in the team has shown great character in fighting and winning all the games. A massive thank you to Paul French who decided to score on the day, if not we would have ended with 1 point shy of winning the league (a weird league rule that gives you 1 point for having a scorer). Hence we ended with 4 points for a win, 2 bonus points for scoring above 100 and 1 point for the scorer.
