Murfet takes final-over wicket to seal Westbury's dramatic win over Launceston
Daniel Murfet bowled the final over without bowling all day and removed Launceston's last batter to win the match.
Westbury's Shamrocks needed one wicket with Launceston two runs away from victory. Captain Joel Lloyd gave Murfet the ball for the 50th over.
Murfet hadn't bowled in a couple of weeks and missed the previous week's game, but he was on target. Daniel Murfet took Patrick Morehouse leg before wicket to finish the match with Launceston all out for 156.
Westbury had made 157 in their first innings. Murfet, a 13-time premiership player and former wicketkeeper, said the bowling and fielding performance was the Shamrocks' best all year.
