Grange won the venerable Masterton Twenty:20 cricket trophy in its new finals day format when overcoming the challenge of first Heriot’s and then Carlton at Portgower Place.

In the final Carlton posted a notable 177-5 but Grange got home with seven balls to spare for the loss of six wickets, Jamie Crawley top scoring with 49.
