Carrus Mount Maunganui have successfully defended their Baywide Twenty20 title with a dominant performance in the final against Eves Realty Greerton.

Mount Maunganui join Tauranga Boys' College and Rotorua Central as two-time winners of the Baywide premier competition, which began in the 2011/12 season.

Greerton won the toss and batted at Fergusson Park on Saturday. A tight and controlled Mount Maunganui bowling performance restricted their opposition's attempts to hit out.

The key wicket of Brett Hampton for just two runs, as well as two run-outs, turned the momentum firmly in Mount Maunganui's favour, as Greerton were dismissed for 98.

Umesh Ranaraja top scored for Greerton with 39. Mount off-spinner Peter Drysdale took three wickets at a cost of eight runs and skipper Dale Swan also chimed in with three wickets.

"We were very, very happy with our fielding, with a clinical performance that dried up the Greerton batting attack's pursuit of runs. Two run-outs played a big part in dismissing Greerton for just 98," Swan said.

The defending champions went on the offensive and got home with seven wickets to
spare.

Dan Smith scored an unbeaten 40, while Ben Musgrave reached the 35 run mark before being dismissed.

"The key to victory was a disciplined approach to both batting and bowling on the day,
and sticking to our game plan throughout the encounter," Swan said.

Round seven was played earlier in the afternoon and Greerton finished at the top of the qualifying standings, beating Bond & Co Tauranga Boys' College by 112 runs.

Brett Hampton blasted his side to victory with 94 off just 33 balls in a whirlwind innings that contained nine fours and seven sixes.
