Matthew Short | Player of the Match: "Massive win, we needed it. It's been a tough season but the fans still rock up and it was nice to provide them with the W today. Last couple of days we have had the talk to come out and express themselves.
Massive for our bowling unit to turn things around today and perform brilliantly. They are a quality side and it's always a challenge to face them but we stuck to our plans and executed what we have spoken about through the season.
I don't feel extra pressure with the bat, just calling out the bowling options out there in the field, it's been a good experience. We love batting together here and Lynn is an experienced player, it was amazing but credit to the bowlers for the way they performed."
