Port Noarlunga Chase Down T20 Smash Title

Port Noarlunga took out the inaugural T20 Smash title by defeating Kangarilla in the final match of the elimination tournament on Sunday. The match featured Stingrays captain Simon Roberts (Kangarilla) and T20 skipper Shaun Tanner (Port) and saw Port Noarlunga chase the very competitive 131 required for victory with an over to spare. Port collected the $500 winners cheque after also beating Seaford and Flagstaff Hill during the opening rounds. Kangarilla made the final by easily accounting for Noarlunga and the Stingrays combined C/D grade side. Games were played in good spirit and SDCC hopes to make the event an annual event on the Southern Cricket calendar.

Other Stingray players returning to their club of origin to bolster those sides included Sean McIvor (Seaford), Brenton Maiolo (Reynella), Pat Jolly (Morphett vale), Josh Barrett (Flagstaff Hill).

Southern District thanks President Harvey Jolly who planned the event, well supported by his army of volunteer Stingrays.
