Fleetwood Cricket Club crowned T20 champions
Fleetwood defeat holders and then beat Blackpool in final in Cumbria
They defeated Blackpool by 11 runs in the final to take the Supersports Smash T20 crown at Netherfield on Sunday.
Having beaten Leyland in the quarter-finals to seal their place on finals day, Fleetwood first defeated last year's winners Kendal by six wickets in the semis.
Kendal struggled to 13-3 after being put in but were boosted by Brad Earl's 42 and his stand of 61 with wicketkeeper Finlay Richardson (33).
Hassan Mughal took 3-37 from his four overs to restrict Kendal to 143-9, which Fleetwood passed with nine balls remaining.
Professional Muhammed Hurraira got Fleetwood's reply off to a rapid start with 46 from 26 balls before an unbroken stand of 77 between captain Declan Clerkin (63 not out from 36) and Charlie Clark (16 no) saw them home at 146-4.
Blackpool had defeated hosts Netherfield by 42 runs to set up the all-Fylde coast final, in which Fleetwood were asked to bat.
Again Hurraira laid platform with 47 from 36, putting on 48 for the opening wicket with Tomas King ( 23) and 58 for the third with Harry McAleer (38).
Matt Taaffe took 4-45 as Fleetwood were all out for 159 with 10 balls remaining.
Number three Andrew Needham was Blackpool's top scorer with 41 but they couldn't quite keep up with the pace and finished short at 148-5.
However, there will be no cup double for Fleetwood after they had missed out on a quarter-final place in the 40-Over Cup the previous day.
Needing to win the last of their six league game at home to Euxton to qualify in the top eight, Fleetwood were beaten by five wickets.
Clerkin made 51 and Jeremy Davies 38 but Fleetwood's 186-8 wasn't enough.
Nishan Peiris made 48 before James Bone (42 not out) and Jack Morgan (30no) saw Euxton home at 187-5 with four overs remaining.
The top five, including Euxton, all won five of their six games. Fleetwood finished 11th, having won three.
The NPCL league season resumes on Saturday, when division two leaders Fleetwood host fourth-placed Barrow. Fleetwood are 12 points clear, having won all 10 completed games.
