IMAGO won the BSF Rounders League Finestyle Windows final when they beat Bartons A 249-180. Imago batted first and received 150 runs start. They then scored 48 with Leanne Tudge (14) Yvonne Halliwell (10) and Julie Orrell, 11 runs being the main scorers.

Bartons A batting was limited to 20 minutes and had scored 110 runs at the half time interval. Angela Booth (21) Hazel Turner (16) Sheila Smethurst (16) Gayle Nicholson (15) Trish Dyson (10) and Debbie Booth, 10 runs being top scorers for Bartons.

This left Bartons trailing 198-110.

Imago again added 52 runs in the second innings with Sharon Gallagher (16) Joanne Whitehead (12) and Amanda Tonge (11) top scoring.

Bartons then had 20 minutes batting left to score 140 runs for victory.

Imago however played a tactical game and dispensed with their first base fielder. Bartons lost five batters without troubling the scorers and the odds swung more heavily in Imago's favour.

Bartons were dismissed for 70 runs with Chris Nicholson scoring 27 runs which included four rounders and Sam Roberts scoring 17 runs. The Finestyle Trophy was presented to the Imago captain by Mr Stan Walker from Finestyle Windows.
