Ipswich PC '09 'stump' Henley Cricketers in five game thriller

2010 Quarter Final Play-Off
Sunday 12th September @ Henley Indoor Cricket Stadium


As it was both sides home piste, it was probably inevitable that Ipswich PC '09 and Henley Cricketers would select here as their play-off venue, as neither side had lost at home this season. This record was going to be broken one way or another...

Henley had the better of the opening games, going into a 2-0 lead with wins of 13-4 and 13-8 respectively. Uphill task for 2009 Coastal champions, Ipswich, if they were going to pull matters around.

And thats exactly what they did with 13-1 and 13-9 victories putting the match all square at 2-2 and therefore needing the 'sudden death' fifth game decider, with their entire season now hinging on one game.

In what was a right old tussle, Ipswich finally pulled through by 13-7 and become the first 2010 Grand Finalists
