 ILLAWARRA CRICKET ONE-DAY FINAL
By MIKE DRISCOLL
AN unbeaten half-century from 17-year-old Joe McDevitt guided Northern Districts to a tense fourwicket win over Keira in yesterday’s Illawarra one-day final at North Dalton Park.
It was the Butchers’ first top-grade trophy in six years and they made it a winning double after also claiming the second-grade one-day crown by beating Dapto in the decider.
McDevitt, who joined Norths this season from Corrimal, made an unbeaten 62 after striding tothe crease with his side 3-41 and chasing 148 for victory.
His partnership with skipper Mark Johnson (27) steadied the innings. Then, with Norths in trouble at 6-99, McDevitt and Josh Colmer (20 not out) sealed victory.
