THE Locals maintained their dominance of the Hereford Rounders League by lifting the title for a 20th time.

They defeated newcomers Kington Ladies 26-17.5 in a tough but exciting final.

The match was played over two innings each of 30 good balls and lasted nearly 90 minutes.

Sharon Major, captain of the Locals and the league organiser, said: "This has been a great year for us. We won all our games and for a change no matches had to be rescheduled because of bad weather. We play well together as a team and we look forward to every season.

“Our thanks go to everyone who participated this year. There were a few new teams, which brought new challenges and we had some fun matches along the way. Hopefully there will be even more new teams next year.”
