Paul Bolton's NCCA Report
Cornwall, Berkshire, Cambridgeshire and Staffordshire will host matches in the Super 12s stage of this season’s National Counties T20 after they topped their respective groups following a rain-affected final round of qualifying matches.
Cornwall, who were beaten finalists the last time the competition was played to a conclusion in 2023, banked their third group four double at St Austell where Will MacVicar was an influential figure with both bat and ball against Herefordshire.
MacVicar top-scored with 38 in the rain-affected opener which helped Cornwall to 138 for nine off 16 overs, five of the wickets being taken by off-spinner Hasan Mahmood in a competition-best performance.
MacVicar then took three for 25 to restrict Herefordshire to 123 for seven with acting-captain Ollie Walker making 33.
Walker was in the runs again in the second match - a career-best 77 which contained six sixes – and Herefordshire’s total of 175 for six stretched Cornwall.
The loss of four wickets for nine runs in mid-innings threatened to derail the chase but MacVicar got Cornwall over the line with two wickets and three balls to spare by making a T20 best 81 not out from 49 balls.
Sixteen-year-old debutant Logan Curnow, son of former County player Neil, had a memorable day.
The St Just all-rounder hit a six over midwicket in a brief innings in the first game
In the second game, he was given an opportunity with the ball and picked up 4-29 from his four overs, including the wicket of Ollie Walker for 77.
