The scenic Rock of Gibraltar played host once again to an electrifying two-day cricketing spectacle, and it was the Sloggers who stole the show—successfully defending their crown in emphatic fashion. Four teams battled it out across fast-paced games, but the reigning champions reaffirmed their status with a commanding performance, culminating in a ruthless display in the final.
Having won the toss in the title clash, Sloggers opted to bowl first against a confident Rugby CC side. Rugby CC posted a competitive total of 104, but it was never going to be enough on a surface that rewarded aggressive batting. What followed was nothing short of a blitzkrieg—Sloggers came out firing, reaching the target in just 7.2 overs to seal the championship in style.
The tournament's standout performer was none other than Sloggers’ star all-rounder Manaav Nayak, who was deservedly named Most Valuable Player. His numbers tell a story of dominance—155 runs with the bat and 11 wickets, the most by any player in the competition. Whether it was clutch wickets or explosive innings, Nayak delivered every time it mattered.
The event not only showcased exciting cricket but also highlighted the continued growth and competitiveness of the game in Gibraltar. As the dust settles, one thing remains clear—Sloggers are the team to beat, and their back-to-back titles prove that this is a golden era for the club.
