Potters Bar fell short in search of an unprecedented treble in the last ever play-off final. Both sides were below full strength but, batting first, Bar’s Steve Gale and Rishi Patel started well, putting on 50 in 62 balls only for the team to subside, losing 7 wickets for 39 in 75 balls. The tail garnered 44 runs but the target was only 161. Steve Gale dislocated and broke a finger in the second over as Josh de Caires and Dom Chatfield set up the run chase. Kabir Toor arrived on the dismissal of de Caires and although three wickets went down quickly, leaving Radlett 98 for 4. Toor batted magnificently and eased to 50 in 89 balls. With Will Wright, he took the game away from Bar, in a partnership of 69 in 77 balls to see Radlett home, with six wickets and 25 balls to spare. Toor finished on 65 not out and Wright on 25 not out.
