MEDIA RELEASE22nd April 2007Finals Day of the Montpelier Phuket International Cricket Sixes 2007Four new team names will be added to the silverware earned at the 2007 Montpelier Phuket International Cricket Sixes, completed Sunday at the Karon Stadium. Following heavy overnight rain, which washed out the second half of the charity Twenty20 match on Saturday night, hot and steamy conditions greeted the participants as Finals Day got underway. But the action on the field from the teams was as hot as the conditions and the Cup Final proved the best so far in the history of the tournament, played between Australian sides Leeming Spartans and the Joondalup Kinross Wolves. Batting first Leeming notched up a challenging total of 84 runs with both Wayne Fontana and Brad Mant retiring following bludgeoning knocks. But Joondalup, making their debut at the Phuket Sixes, chased the total down steadily. But Wayne Fontana’s bowling for Leeming proved difficult to get away in the final over and 2 runs were required from the last ball. That however was despatched for a massive 6 towards the beach by Chimpy, which ensured victory and title of Cup Champions for Joondalup. Earlier, Joondalup had defeated CBB Postels and Leeming Spartans had downed Lamma CC to reach the final. Pocari CC of Bahrain stormed off with the Plate trophy after defeating Singapore Airlines in the final. Sandeep starred for Pocari, smashing 32 runs as his side posted 60 runs. Singapore Airlines could manage only 52 in reply, but were consoled when Rajkumar smashed the special Green Man target to win his team a case of beer! In Bowl action, local side Karon Seasanders were defeated by Sunshine CC from India. Sunshine skipper Anand hit a belligerent 30 and conceded just 2 runs from his over as Sunshine ran away with a 40 run victory. The Spoon final also featured local interest as the Green Man Gunnas from Phuket took on Applecross CC of Western Australia. Applecross registered the highest total of the tournament, smashing 97 runs off the Gunnas bowling attack. The Gunnas put up a valiant effort in the run chase, but the target was always going to be tough and they finished their innings on 60 runs. Following the finals, played in front of enthusiastic support, the Phuket Sixes Awards Dinner took place at the Hilton Arcadia Hotel. Over 200 tournament participants and guests enjoyed the lavish buffet dinner and special camaraderie, which characterises the ‘fun in the sun’ spirit of the Montpelier Phuket International Cricket Sixes.
