Fielding first, Sanil Babu tore through the Wanderers line up taking 4/6 off 3.4 overs with a maiden thrown in.

Re-invented Cooper Smith bowled with consistency to claim 2/11 off four overs to restrict Hanwood to 78 off their 20 overs.

The top three batsmen all scored double figures of 12, 19 and 18 to set up a three wicket win.

The team will now play in the final on Sunday, February 22 against Exies Diggers. This will cause a change to the Creet Cup Challenge.

Third grade will resume this Saturday against Exies Eagles at Jubilee for their T20 clash.
