Hampshire's disability cricketers regained the BACD National Trophy (they last held in 2012) with a nervy three-wicket win over Shropshire at Wolverhampton.
Alton’s Alex Hammond (3-27), who ripped through the Shropshire upper order, collected the trophy from Mike Gatting, ECB's Cricket Partnerships Ambassador.
But Shropshire recovered from 53-5 to post 114 (Adam James 33) and then had Hampshire struggling at 59-5 before Hartley Wintney’s Ben Hyde (37) and Invictus Games hero Corie Mapp (21 not out) got Hampshire home.
“It was a great team performance, everyone has contributed at different times through the season and has taken the responsibility to get wickets or score runs at key times, the final was no different,” reflected Hampshire D40 captain Alex Hammond.
“Seven of our side play in the Southern Premier League, so there are great opportunities for cricketers with disabilities to play for their county. It is a most rewarding experience.”
