Marsh's magic moment

England all-rounder Laura Marsh concluded the season in style by helping Brighton & Hove thrash Tytherington by 199 runs on Sunday to win the ECB Premier League Final.

The 21-year-old, who topped the summer's international one-day bowling averages with seven wickets coming at just 6.42, starred with bat and ball as Premier League South champions Brighton triumphed over their North counterparts.

Brighton & Hove were indebted to Laura Marsh

Marsh led the way as Brighton batted first, hitting 99 with fellow England star Sarah Taylor contributing 66 as Tytherington were set a challenging 294 to win from 50 overs.

They did not come close as Marsh followed up her earlier efforts with the bat by taking 4-12 with her off-spin.

In the Knockout Cup, which was also played at Welbeck Colliery, Thea Brookes hit an unbeaten 59 to see Pershore to a five-wicket win over Plympton.

Chasing 105 to win after Plympton were dismissed in 39 overs, Brookes kept a cool head to help her side to victory.
