The members of the Hunterville School First XI have proved the best of the Twenty/20 sloggers among Wanganui's youngsters.
Wanganui cricket created the Embassy 3 T20 Intermediate Challenge Cup, which was contested by the region's five cricket-orientated schools.
Organiser Dilan Raj said the competition was set up after a gap had been identified in Saturday intermediate-level cricket.
With the players and the teachers to coach them being available during the week, games were organised for Thursdays with principals giving participants an hour's early leave to take part.
Starting in November, round robin games took place every week and were to have culminated in a finals day at Victoria Park on December 7.
