Posted on 23 July 2018

Last weekend saw the winners of thier pools - Forres, Highland and Buckie - go head to head in a triangular series to determine who would be taking the James Kemp T20 Silverware home.

First up was Forres v Buckie. After a delayed start due to damp conditions, the game was reduced to 16 overs per side. Forres winning the toss and opting to field first. 

Buckie 140-7 off 16

Forres 143-0 off 12.4

Game 2 saw the arrival of the other finalists Highland who were up against the losers of game 1 (Buckie). Thankfully the weather had taken a turn for the better and allowed 20 overs per side.

Buckie 199-4 off 20

Highland 144-7 off 20

Game 3 saw the return of Forres v Highland for the last game of the day. 

Highland 174-6 off 20

Forres 148-8 off 20

Due to all teams having won 1 and lost 1, it was all down to some furious maths at the end with Buckie coming out on top with the highest run rate of the day with 9.42.
