New Farnley batted first and were restricted to 100-9 off their 40 overs. All the Newport bowlers, 
bowled well with Ffion Wynne claiming 3 wickets. Newport, in reply lost 3 early wickets against a 
good New Farnley attack, falling to 8 -3, but the Newport team is made of stern stuff, and battled 
back to reach 75-5 off 23 overs, with everyone chipping in with important runs. A couple of late 
wickets fell to add a little tension to proceedings, but Nicole Reid and Ffion Wynne put on 25 for
an unbroken 8th wicket partnership, to see Newport home by 2 wickets.
