Maher Stars win cup final win

glory days: Loros Cup winners Maher Stars celebrate with the trophy. They beat rivals SSC
Maher Stars won the last Loros Cup final to be played under the Leicestershire League banner.
An unbeaten half-century from Sachin Naran steered them to a five-wicket victory against Shree Sanatan Centre at Syston RFC, Queniborough.
Dilip Tandel took 4-20 as SSC were bowled out for 138 in 36 of their 40 overs.
SSC hit back to take five wickets, but man of the match Naran hit 52 not out and received strong support from Prabat Shiva in the match-clinching stand.
Afterwards, a presentation of £500 was made to Loros.
The future of the competition is uncertain because the Leicestershire League is merging with the Everards League and the Senior League in the new Leicestershire & Rutland Cricket League, and the format for next season’s cup competitions has yet to be decided.
However, Maher Stars captain Pratap Odedra hopes it can continue in some form, and said: “It is enjoyable to play in and it is for a good cause.”
