A big Hamilton century did the damage, with Spencer Wills and Depp Bollinger taking three wickets apiece. Two half centuries, from Spencer Wills and Utsav Kumar wasn’t enough, as the Bay side were bowled out for 214, to hand the Waikato team the championship title.

The opposition also batted first against Bay of Plenty Lakeland, with Counties Manukau being removed for 197, in the battle for third place. Lakeland put up a good fight, but the Counties bowlers eventually prevailed as the Bay team was dismissed for 154.

Day four semi-final action, saw Coastland defeat Counties Manukau to book a place in the title decider.
