Star Sixes retained the NJCL Super Sixes trophy, defeating Salford Comets in a final dominated by bat over ball.

Salford won the toss and elected to bat. Openers Elliot Koffman and Jonny Wineberg made good progress, Koffman hitting Black for a huge six over long-on, but, against some accurate bowling from Star, could not find any consistently big hitting.

Having put on 39 for the first wicket, Koffman mistimed a drive off Shaia Rabinovitz and Dov Black took a measure of revenge with an excellent catch at long-off.

Jeremy Korn joined Wineberg, who kept the strike and accelerated his innings with a straight four and six off Rabinovitz. However, Star's bowlers held their nerve to keep Salford to 57-1 in their five overs with Wineberg on 29 not out. A competitive total but one that Star would expect to reach.
