Perranarworthal win Vinter Cup Final

Perranarworthal deservedly won the Vinter Cup when they defeated Truro by 7 wickets in the final at Camborne. Batting first Truro got off to a very slow start against an accurate Perran bowling attack and could only total 110-3 in their 20 overs. Tom Sharp, batting with an injury, top scored with 45 not out. In reply Perran batted steadily and reached 111-3 off 19.2 overs. Truro's quest to win the cup was not helped by conceding 28 extras against Perran's 3 and the unavailability of several players through holidays, injury and other commitments. Congratulations to Perranarworthal who were the better side on the day and fully deserved to win the trophy. [card]
