Golden T20 Season in Halifax

The Halifax Cricket League’s 2014 Twenty20 Competition came to a conclusion on Saturday with Halifax Gold victorious over Halifax Red in the Final.

Gold restricted Red to 104/7 from their 20 overs with a miserly and determined bowling and fielding effort. Then a man of the match performance by David Campbell (67 runs) with the bat lead a successful run-chase to guide Gold home to 107/3 and a 7 wicket victory with 14 balls to spare.

The win meant double T20 silverware for Halifax Gold this season having won the traditional season-opening T20 tournament, the Deonarine Cup, back in the spring.
