With Australian Southern Star and NSW Lend Lease Breaker player, Erin Osborne, in town to check out all the T20 action it was the Kempsey and Lismore schools that dominated Monday’s inaugural North Coast T20 High Schools Zone Finals at Coffs Harbour’s International Stadium.

Nine regional finalists from three different age groups saw over 100 teenage boys and girls come together on the Coffs Coast for a fun day playing the exciting new format of T20 cricket that is designed to encourage participation and maximise enjoyment.

In the Years 9-10 St Paul’s Kempsey were the overall North Coast Zone Champions. They scored 4/82 in defeating St Paul’s Port Macquarie (all out 54) before restricting Trinity College to 4/70 and then going on to blast their way to 1/71 off only 7 overs.

In the Years 7-8 Melville Kempsey were the overall North Coast Zone Champions after all three regional finalists finished the day with one win each and Melville clinched the title with a superior net run rate of 7.57.
