Carrus Mount Maunganui Defeat Eves Realty Greerton To Win Three-Peat Of Baywide T20 Titles

BOPCA Season Review 2019/20

Carrus Mount Maunganui posted a three-peat of Bayide T20 Championship titles, when they beat Eves Realty Greerton in a thriller that went down to the last ball of the match.

A pre-season captains meeting, advocated for a continuous T20 competition, instead of opening the season with two weeks of play and then completing the title race in the middle of the season. For the first time, a standalone mid-week round took place before the players backed up three days later to complete the business end of the competition

Batting first in the early evening start, Mount Maunganui lost their first wicket with 25 runs on the board. Peter Drysdale then took control of the Mount fortunes, launching an attack on the Greerton bowlers to belt 76 runs off 54 balls, with Mount Maunganui 110/5 when the Mount master blaster was removed.

The match was well and truly up for grabs, when Mount Maunganui finished their turn at bat at 132 for the loss of nine wickets. ND all-rounder Brett Hampton was in good form with the ball, with three wickets at a cost of 20 runs, with Jared Tutty taking two bowling scalps.

Greerton, were in an almost identical situation to their opponents, losing their first batsman at the 26 run mark. Several of the Greerton batsmen got starts but failed to capatilise and at 85 for six, were behind the eight ball. Enter Lee Watkins batting at nine, who fought back with an unbeaten 25 runs.

The title decider went right down to the last ball, with Mount Maunganui restricting Greerton to 128/7, to claim their third successive Baywide T20 championship by four runs. Craig Baldry took three wickets with skipper Dale Swan and Peter Drysdale both grabbing two wickets apiece.

Mount Maunganui reached the final with a comfortable victory over Generation Homes Lake Taupo in the semi-finals, with Greerton having a solid battle with New World Te Puke, before emerging victorious. 

Led by a Ben Musgrave half-century, Mount Maunganui reached 166 for three before restricting Lake Taupo to 111/7, to book their berth in the T20 final. Te Puke, made Greerton work hard for their place in the championship decider, when they posted 149 for the loss of just two wickets. An undefeated 77 runs from Bruce Kerr, took Greerton to the Bay Oval final, as his side got home with four wickets in hand with five balls to spare.

Mount Maunganui finished at the top of the standings with an unbeaten record in the qualifying play, with Greerton and Te Puke squaring off in the post section action courtesy of finishing second and third in the round robin action. 

Lake Taupo overcame long odds, to square off with Mount Maunganui after they finished on equal points with Cadets. On the penultimate day of competition, they beat Geyser City and Tauranga Boys College with Cadets losing both their encounters - with the Taupo representatives grabbing the last semi-final berth courtesy of beating Cadets in their preliminary contest.

The 2919/20 season Baywide twenty overs per side contests, lived up to its billing of producing all action encounters, with numerous milestones posted throughout the competition. Long serving Mount Maunganui all-rounder RPO Drysdale took out the T20 MVP title with an astonishing 532 runs and 8 wickets as well as taking five catches.

Dan Price finished second in the batting stakes with 369 runs with Ben Musgrave rounding out the top three with 279 runs. A feature of the competition was the big hitting antics of Te Puke's Dan Price, who smashed an amazing twenty-eight 6's some 14 ahead of the next best.

Craig Baldry finished on the top of the bowling stakes tally with 17 bowling scalps, with the icing on the cake being his championship final winning performance, of three wickets at a cost of 25 runs. Lake Taupo's Drew Brierley finished second with 12 wickets with a four-way tie for third place between Moko Rivers, Finn Dempsey, Stephen Nicholls and Dale Swan with 10 wickets.

Te Puke keeper Blair McKenzie took the competitions most catches successfully holding nine deliveries. Dan Price (103) and Tauranga Boys College Ben Vyver (102no) posted centuries with Central Indians captain Stephen Nicholls taking the only six wicket bag with 6/18 against Geyser City. Lake Taupo bowler Moko Rivers achieved the rare if hens teeth feat of taking a hat trick, in his 4 wickets for 9 runs against Central Indians.

Lake Taupo's Baywide progress, since their premier competition debut in October 2017, can be measured by their performance in reaching a Baywide semi-final for the first time. In round four, the Taupo side upset Baywide heavyweights Cadets, bowling them out for 74 then getting home for the loss of five wickets. The Lake Taupo victory over Cadets, turned out to play a huge part in them making the playoffs, when the two teams were locked on 24 points apiece after the round robin play - Lake Taupo progressed courtesy of who beat who in the regular season.
