After restricting Seaside to 104 all out in 17.3 overs, Independence Park comfortably chased down the target in just 13.1 overs to secure the championship in dominant fashion.

All-rounder Steffan Sandy delivered one of the standout performances of the tournament, leading the attack with figures of 3 for 20 before returning with the bat to blast an unbeaten 37 from only 18 deliveries. His match-winning innings, combined with a composed unbeaten 36 from opener Sebastien Banga, ensured Independence Park completed the chase with more than six overs to spare.

Seaside's innings was held together by Julien Tommy, who top-scored with 42, but regular wickets prevented the side from building a competitive total. Independence Park's disciplined bowling unit shared the workload, with Isaac Jeffery and Steward Sandy each claiming two wickets to support Steffan Sandy's outstanding spell.

Earlier, Fres Wota 4 Cricket Club secured third place after an emphatic 117-run victory over Fres Wota 5 Cricket Club.


Batting first, Fres Wota 4 posted a formidable 185 for 5, built around a superb 63 from William Laumai and a powerful 51 from Andrew Wilson. The pair laid the foundation for a commanding total before the bowlers completed the job.

Kenny Moruk starred with the ball, producing exceptional figures of 5 for 19 as Fres Wota 5 were dismissed for just 68 in 11.2 overs. Andrew Wilson also impressed with three wickets to complete an outstanding all-round performance.

하루 종일 같은 자세로 일해서 몸이 뻐근하게 느껴지는 날에 이용해 보니 편리했습니다. 출장마사지 익숙한 공간에서 편하게 관리받을 수 있다는 장점이 있었고, 이동 시간을 아끼면서 충분한 휴식 시간을 확보할 수 있어 바쁜 직장인에게 실용적인 선택이라고 생각했습니다.

상품권을 효율적으로 활용하는 방법과 거래 전 확인해야 할 사항을 함께 살펴볼 수 있어 좋았습니다. 상품권매입 고려한다면 이용 가능한 상품권 종류와 정산 절차를 먼저 확인하고, 불명확한 조건이나 과도한 개인정보 요구가 없는지 살펴보는 것이 중요하다는 내용이 실용적으로 느껴졌습니다.

이용 장소를 직접 찾아가야 하는 서비스보다 원하는 공간에서 받을 수 있는 방식이 편리하게 느껴집니다. 역시 일정과 장소를 효율적으로 평택출장마사지 관리할 수 있다는 점이 장점이며, 하루 일과 후 편안하게 시간을 보내고 싶은 분들에게 잘 맞아 보입니다.
