Nesfield steered Flixton away from choppy waters with a hard-fought 60 and was awarded the man of the match honours in the after-match presentations.
“It was unbelievable really,” Nesfield said.
“It’s an experience that I’ll never forget, to get some runs, get the win and to have my mum, dad, wife, child watching on and brother Jamie in the same side, was really special.”

“I didn’t know that I was man of the match until they announced it,” added Nesfield.
“I was a bit surprised really. I thought Tom Norman bowled superbly and could’ve won the award.
“To be honest, the whole team contributed as they have done throughout the competition.

Nesfield came to the crease at number six with his side in trouble after a shaky start, but put on a superb partnership with Will Hutchinson to steer his side to 198-8.
“We were in trouble, but they’d bowled well to be fair.”
