Half-chances went to hand, and wickets came with ease as Homers restricted Jung Tigers to a sub-par total.

In response, Homers openers had little to do but soak up the glory, easing their side to a memorable 10-wicket win.

Captain Adam Atwood was full of praise for his team's all-round effort.

"We probably scratched through a bit, but when it comes to the end of the day, we switch on in the field, and we switch on with the ball," he said.

"Our defensive side today was outstanding. It really made it quite easy for me and Paddy (Mills) just to plod along."

Jung Tigers opted to bat first, and Brenton Hallam soon gave the crowd something to cheer about, dispatching Craig Britten over his head in the first over.

However, Homers' spearhead had the last laugh, getting the dasher caught on the boundary and starting the Tigers downfall.

The Jung Tigers twice fell victim to pieces of Jett Hopper brilliance.

Brett Jensz middled one to point only to be met by a horizontal Hopper, who accepted the ball with one hand, just inches off the ground.

Balls later, Tyler Puls tried to steal a single in the offside, only for Hopper to collect the ball, turn, and thrown down one-and-a-half stumps in one motion.

Hopper's efforts in the field were enough to see him crowned man of the match, despite not bowling a ball or getting to bat.

"He's a young player in our competition who's got bucket loads of talent," HCA president Chris Hopper (uncle of Jett) said.

"He's a different cat, but we all got a glimpse of some of the brilliant things he can do on the cricket field."

At 5-34, the Tigers fell into survival mode.

David Puls tamed himself but struggled to find gaps off an economical Chaminda Gamage (2-8).

The Tigers' stalwart would be the last to fall, holing out for 26 to end his side innings at 69.

Homers' ever-dependable new-ball duo, Craig Britten and Mohan Bandara, ended with two wickets apiece.

MAKING NEWS:

Defending a small total, Jung Tigers needed to tighten the screws but were guilty of missing their lengths.

Adam Atwood (40*) gratefully accepted the short stuff, sending the ball to all corners during the powerplay.

Atwood's aggression allowed opening partner Paddy Mills (25*) to pick his shots.

The pair took the chase on the shoulders, getting over the line in the 14th over.

Jung Tigers captain Angus Adams was confident his side would rebound with two one-day rounds remaining.

"Anytime you make a grand final is a great achievement. Even though we lost, I'd much rather play in a grand final than not," he said.

"(Adam) and the Homers boys, well done. I know the success you've had over the years is the envy of us and the rest of the competition.

"We'll move on to next week. A week is a long time in cricket."
