STAMFORD KO SHIELD FINAL: Two out of three ain't bad, but it could get even better for Bourne
Bourne had already won the Lincs T20 title and take on Peterborough Town in a mouthwatering Jaidka Cup Final at Bretton Gate on Friday (July 14). Pete Morgan’s men are the holders of that competition having beaten Town in the final in 2016.
Bourne weren’t at their brutal best with the bat last night, but they were electric in the field against surprise finalists.
