[Kent Slam @TheKentSlam]

NOT ANOTHER ONE???

Last over, @TownMallingSwa1 Swans need 7 more to beat @BexleyCC Rockets.

Are we heading to another super over?

[Kent Slam @TheKentSlam]

BY THE BAREST OF MARGINS!!!

@BexleyCC Rockets scamper a single off the last to score 14/0 off their Super Over and beat @SVCC1734 Storm on wickets lost!!!

They will play @TownMallingCC Swans in the Final at 16:20, which is live here: https://t.co/wQMxqJqxta

WE’VE GONE TO A SUPER OVER!!!

@SVCC1734 Storm’s short running in the final over meant that scores were tied with @BexleyCC Rockets meaning a Super Over.

ALLSORTS OF EFFORT!

Some fantastic commitment in the field from @Mershamsports Allsorts, but will it prevent @TownMallingCC Swans gliding to victory?
