Basel Dragons produced a dominant performance to win their own U13 tournament for the first time.
In all aspects of the game, batting, bowling and fielding, they were on top of their game and were determined to put in a good performance.
However, the surprise of the tournament were the Basel Nightfuries who battled their way to the final as rank outsiders. They just showed what was possible with sensible batting and restricting extras to a minimum when bowling.
