Author Unknown
Luckily the weather did not play a major part in this year’s Cup Final apart from a few small interuptions. Dragons won the toss and put Metro in to bat. Metro made a steady start but began to lose wickets when trying to up the run rate in the second half of the innings. With 9 wickets down, they made 152 from 34 overs. Andy McKeating 30, Adam Benjamin 20, Bryn Reynolds 16. Bryn and Adam putting on over 50 for the second wicket.
Welsh Dragons made a solid start with Dave Wood and Neil Prior, followed by Mike Ferguson and reached the target fairly comfortably with a number of overs to spare.
