Langwarrin, Pines, Rosebud and Carrum Downs win MPCA T20 titles

A superb, unbeaten half-century by Tom Hussey steered Langwarrin to its fourth successive MPCA Jack Peacock Cup, while Pines, Rosebud and Carrum Downs also secured silverware.

Langwarrin celebrates a fourth consecutive Peacock Cup victory.

And that’s four Jack Peacock Cups in a row for Langwarrin.

Led by “Hussdog’’, “Hec’’, “KP’’ and “Wizz’’, the Kangaroos bounded to victory over Sorrento in the MPCA Provincial T20 final at Baxter Park on Sunday afternoon.

Chasing the Sharks’ 8-134, Langy — powered by a brilliant captain’s knock by Tom “Hussdog’’ Hussey — got home with four wickets and eight balls to spare, replying with 6-135 off 18.4 overs.

Hussey carried his bat to make an unbeaten 62 (with 7 boundaries and 1 six), steadying the chase after the Kangas were wobbling at 2-18 and 6-88.

He received sterling support from 16-year-old Kyle “KP’’ Parrott (26, with 3 fours and 1 six) and Robbie “Wizz’’ Lancaster (27 not out, with 4 boundaries).

Lancaster and Hussey shared an unconquered 47-run partnership to guide Langwarrin home.

Earlier, former Melbourne Renegades paceman Jayde “Hec’’ Herrick lit the fuse for Langwarrin with a fiery opening spell, removing Sorrento’s top three batsmen, including skipper Bobby Wilson (8), to have the Sharks reeling at 3-26.

Herrick finished with 3-15 off four overs, and savoured being part of his first premiership at Langwarrin in his first season at the club.

Langwarrin will now set about adding the Provincial premiership cup to its trophy cabinet.

The Peninsula division Peacock Cup was won in commanding fashion by Pines over Somerville.

After rolling Somerville for 83, with Harley Parker taking 4-16, the Piners coasted to 2-88 off 13 overs, with Damien Lawrence carving an unbeaten 38 (with 3 boundaries and 2 sixes) and Ricky Ramsdale 27 (with 2 sixes).

Rosebud beat Carrum in a heart-stopping final.

The District T20 grand final went into a super over, with Rosebud prevailing over Carrum.

After scores were tied at 144 apiece, Rosebud scored 1-16 off its super over, with Scott Hayes belting 14 off five balls, with 1 four and 1 six.

Carrum could only manage 0-8 from its super over, with Sharks bowler Patty Nagel cool as a milkshake.

Earlier, Rosebud skipper Billy Quigley made 37 not out off 28 balls and Carrum coach Mark Cooper cracked 69 off 59, along with Jake D’Atri 47 not out off 44.

Thumbs up: Carrum Downs won the Sub District T20 final.

Carrum Downs secured its first piece of silverware for the summer with a 10-run win over Balnarring in the Sub District T20 decider.

The Cougars batted first and made 8-123, with opener Brad Lockhart (46 off 43, with 3 fours and 1 six), Robbie Johnston (24no off 22, 1 four and 1 six) and Shane Deal (13no off 11) showing the way.

In reply, Balnarring made 7-113 to fall just short, despite a valiant effort by Brett Milham, who smashed 45no off 20, with four sixes, at the end. Shane Smith (2-14 off 4 overs) delivered a match-winning spell.
