Flight Centre Lansdowne have won through to the final of the Wairarapa Cricket Association's More FM Cup Twenty20 competition when they defeated Red Star in their semi-final match played at the Park Sportsground on Saturday.
With short boundaries in play Lansdowne would have only been mildly happy with their total of 154 when they batted first. Robbie Spiers was typically inventive in getting through to 35 while Matt Stringfellow made a valuable 29.
The pick of the Red Star bowlers was Greg Todd whose four overs cost just 18 runs and he took one wicket.
Red Star looked well on the way to victory when they reached 80-1 but a middle and lower order batting collapse ended their chances and they were all out for 140. Chris Wendon top scored with 28 and Greg Todd made 20.
Leighton Calkin did most of the damage for Lansdowne in taking 4-20 and there was an impressive opening four overs from youngster Mark Goodin.
