Truro are Vinter Cup runners up again

For the second year running Truro lost in the final of the Vinter Cup, this time to St Just. On a cold and gloomy evening at St Just Truro won the toss and elected to field. After 17 overs it looked likely that St Just would be restricted to a score in the region of 120, but 20 runs were scored off the 19th over and St Just posted 141-5 off their 20 overs. In reply Truro lost the important wickets of Ben Price and Ryan Driver early on and were always behind the required run rate and, despite a good knock of 32 from skipper Tom Sharp, only managed 122-9 from their 20 overs. Congratulations to St. Just for a deserved victory. The final was watched by a reasonable crowd and was well organised by St Just, however the venue lacked the atmosphere of the Cup's traditional home of Camborne.

St Just 1st XI - 141-5  Truro 1st XI - 122-9  [Card to follow]
