McKenna hits second ton a Shaldon reach final

CHUDLEIGH and Shaldon will meet at Bovey Tracey on Thursday night in the final of the Thomas Trophies Teign 20 Cup.

The winners will play off against the Pro-Direct Torbay T20 winners for a place in the county finals next month.

Chudleigh are old hands at the TeignT20, having won the final in 2007.

Shaldon are in the competition for the first time so to reach the final is quite an achievement.

The new boys clinched their place in the final by beating Chagford in a winner-takes all encounter as both were unbeaten going into the final round of fixtures.

Seaumus McKenna clattered a second successive T20 ton as Shaldon made 234 for five.

McKenna didn't hang about as he reached 50 in 24 deliveries and finished with 118 not out from just 54 balls.
Carl Woolnough chipped in with 47 off 21 deliveries.

Chagford were never really in the hunt - or likely to be without something special of their own.

Paul Penberthy (27) and Jon Wright (34) put on 52 in five overs, but once Todd Ballman broke the partnership it was downhill all the way to 127 all out.

Karl Blackburn (3-14) mopped up the tail.
