DR Morris Cup final: Neyland v Kilgetty at Burton on Sunday, July 15th, 12pm start (two innings of 20 overs per team).

This Sunday afternoon, it’s coming home.

Not in terms of football, the World Cup, or Jules Rimet trophy of course – but for Neyland or Kilgetty in the DR Morris Cup final at Burton.

And in reality, few will deny Neyland go in favourites.

Last season’s semi final defeat to Whitland may have ended a run of four straight competition wins, but Sean Hannon and co know exactly what it takes to produce the goods come final day in the ‘Duggie’.

After a ropey period in the league, they are back on track and in the title race, and will view Sunday as a big chance to get silverware on the board.

But Kilgetty are not to be underestimated. They chased down a big Whitland total in the semi final, and as is key in this format, their side is laced with dangerous performers.

I don’t think their battle to avoid the drop in the league will have too much bearing on their mentality come Sunday – it is a one off game, a shortened format, and a chance to go all out with nothing to lose.

Umpires Dave Bonner and Simon Richards will be the men in the middle and for historians wondering, Neyland are aiming for a tenth competition win in what is their 16th final. Kilgetty have four wins to their name as they enter final number eight.

The captains' view:

Sean Hannon (Neyland): “We have had great success in this competition in recent years winning it four years on the bounce between 2013-2016 - before losing out to Whitland in the 2017 semi-final.

“We have already beaten Cresselly and Haverfordwest en route to the final and want to recapture the cup this year. We have match winners in our side and I’m expecting us to step up as if it’s our first final and maintain our intensity.

“We will not underestimate a dangerous Kilgetty though. They too have players who can influence a game, Ross (Hardy) is obviously key with bat and ball but we will also be wary of Kurtis in both disciplines, Kyle Marsh and Dafydd Bevan can score quickly while Liam Cullen has also done well in recent weeks.”

Ross Hardy (Kilgetty): “We are an aggressive side and prefer this format - in fact I wish sometimes the league was all T20!

“We have been struggling in the league and the next few games are crucial on that front - but this is a one off cup final and we will be going all out for it.

“And I’m mostly pleased for our President Colin Williams. He does so much work for the club that people don’t realise and was there when we last won this in 1997. So it’s nice to reward him.”

Neyland squad (12 to be selected):

Sean Hannon: Now vastly experienced in leading Neyland in finals. Sharp as ever behind the stumps and can add vital runs whether in the top or lower order.

Patrick Bellerby: Few present at the 2014 final will ever forget his last ball six to win it. Capable of giving his side an explosive start.

Nathan Banner: A danger with bat and ball - and likes to attack with both too! One who could take the new ball.

Henry Durrant: Like many in the Neyland side, can adapt to different batting roles. An important left arm bowler too.

Scott Jones: Ever maturing batsmen and a brilliant fielder. Also a more than capable spinner.

Patrick Hannon: Another left armer and likely to take the new ball. Bowled an accurate opening spell in the semi final win against Haverfordwest.

Nick Koomen: Classy opening batsman with a range of shots, and has proved himself before on the big occasion. Plays an important role as a bowler too.

Gary Lloyd: A veteran spinner, but an intelligent one. Has an uncanny abilty to take wickets while also keeping things tight.

Andrew Miller: Continues to take big wicket hauls regularly with his slow bowling, and ultra reliable batting in the middle order. Nothing flash, but always a potential match winner.

Gregg Miller: Comfortable anywhere in the batting order. Helped get Neyland over the line in the semi final and can score quickly.

Paul Murray: Opening batsman who will wreak havoc if he gets going. Once in the groove, deals mostly in boundaries. Kilgetty will want him early.

Geraint Rees: Talented young all rounder who can bat in a variety of roles, from opener to lower order, who can also bowl for long stints.

Ashley Sutton: Availability been limited this season due to rugby commitments, but showed his value in the semi final. Twice been man of the match in a Duggie final before and when on-song, a class act with the bat when.

George Evans: Has kept wicket this season when Sean Hannon has been required to bowl. A promising prospect both with the gloves and the bat.

Steve Murray: Another who looks to hit big and score quickly. Can add vital momentum to an innings.

John Laugharne (scorer): An old school and reliable scorer. Part of the furniture with Neyland CCC and a great club man.

Kilgetty squad (12 to be selected):

Ross Hardy: Started at the club six years ago after moving down from Grimsby, and spent the last three season as as captain. At his best, a destructive batsman.

Toby Poole: Bats aggressively and a more than capable bowler. Scored 90 in the first round against Hook and will be key for Kilgetty.

Kurtis Marsh: A young talent with real promise. Likely to open the batting and a very good slow bowler. Full of enthusiasm on the field.

Liam Cullen: Another in good form with both bat and ball. If football commitments allow - will be important for his side come Sunday.

Kyle Marsh: Showed his batting class in the semi final win. Described by the skipper as the 'anchor man' in the team.

Dafydd Bevan: A wicket keeper-batsman who came from Carew last year and proved a great signing. Superb cameo in his side's semi final run chase.

Tom Lewis: Missed the start of the season due to rugby, but now back available weekly. His side's best fielder and a cracking batsman on his day.

Richie Cope: Good fielder and medium pace bowler who performed well in the semi final. Capable with the bat when needed as well. Reliable performer.

Jack Parkinson: On his day he's up there with the best bowlers in the county. His battle with the Neyland top order will be good to watch.

Jordan Gorman: His first full season under Hardy and ever improving with the bat. Another great fielder as well.

Ian Poole: Vastly experienced and batting well this summer for Wales 50s. Still a very competent keeper too.

Ollie Gamble: A young and talented bowler who can switch between leg spin and medium pace.

Anthony Lewis: Another bright prospect and an off spinner who is growing in confidence all the time.

Hazel Poole (scorer): A vastly experienced scorer who can be relied for anything at the club. As the club captain says: "We'd be lost without her."
