We were pretty confident if we could get to around 13-140 that we were going to be in the game, and then to execute with the ball the way we did was brilliant. We didn't give much length for them to get their hands through, and forced them wide not allowing them to access the leg side.
Was never comfortable through the chase, Dublin despite not getting boundaries did limit dot balls and seemed to work singles with relative ease and class.
Bloody good night last night, surprisingly I've woken up feeling a million dollars.
I am pretty disappointed though in a group of people who I believe may have been our supporters(?), a lack of decorum towards the end spoiled what should've been a memorable moment, instead presentation was cancelled leaving a somewhat anti-climatic end.
I've been on the back of a number of hidings at the club, particularly in recent years - be humble in defeat, and gracious in victory.. celebrate us, not take shots at the opposition, it's just poor form. End of the day, we only won a knockout T20 comp, whilst our first A grade silverware for 30yrs, we are still rocking up to play Grade 3 this weekend, whilst the Dubby boys will head out to play in the premier division.
How well did the Royals host the day? The BBQ looked awesome, basically anyone that walked near it bought something.
Only thing I probably would've differently, and it's only because of hindsight after seeing how many people were ticking over nicely by 5pm, I would've played the two shorter women's GF's on oval #2 straight after each other and started the Women's A Grade @ 11am then the mens T20 @ 3pm.
Great day I must say, it was good to catch up with a lot of blokes I haven't seen for a while.
