In what was a much anticipated game, the Morrall’s Bakery Cup Cricket Grand Final lived up to all expectations. It was a cracking day at Davidson Oval as the crowd rolled in and the spectators weren’t disappointed. 

Fords Bridge won the toss and chose to bat first. Brad Cross and Matt Sheridan opened the batting for Fordsy and Cross lasted one over before a cracker of a ball from Chad Taylor got through Cross and clean bowled him for one run.
