Batting first, the Novas put on a brilliant show, posting a very respectable 132 runs with Kelly and Becks both retiring on 30.

When it came to fielding, the team gave everything — 5 wickets taken with some impressive bowling, a great catch and some superb run outs keeping the pressure on right until the final ball.

Crewe edged it on 133 runs but with both sides playing out the full 20 overs, it really was the closest of games! A real team effort from every single Nova on that field — and a huge shoutout to Kelly who carried on through the fielding despite picking up an injury during batting. That’s the Novas spirit!
