The Grasshoppers finished their five-match tour with an 88-run win over Claremont.

They saved the best to last with a record-breaking total - their 298 for 8 the highest in their 44-year existence.

It was a real team effort with eight players scoring either 20's or 30's, with Seby Best top-scoring with an unbeaten 39, sharing in an unbroken 9th wicket stand of 67 alongside Jude Keates (34*).

There were runs too for Ross Waite (38), Paddy Beverland (37), Michael Waite (35), Glenn Halliday (26), Neil Gill (25) and Johnny Waite (23).

The hosts opted for respectability after early wickets for Callum Atkinson (2-42), Michael Waite (1-20) and Neil Gill (1-40), ending on 210 for 4.

It's been a wonderful experience for all the youthful squad who will no doubt benefit from all their time both on and off the field.
