Last weekend's Senior Cup final at Sabina Park could not have gone better for champions Hanover and their coach Michael Clarke.

In fact, Hanover's game plan was well executed said Clarke, so much so that there weren't any nervous moments throughout two days of tense action in the middle.

According to Clarke, Kensington's strengths lie in their batting, which is centred around Horace Miller, Rashid Outar and Ranville Brown.

So heading into the final, the plan was to target the trio. In the final analysis, Hanover sensationally won the battle between the only unbeaten teams in the competition by 40 runs.

"We have been really playing good cricket as a team. Our decision was to win the toss and so said, so done. We made a good start but then collapsed... but it was defendable total based on Kensington's batting. We know that their batting isn't as tall as ours," an elated Clarke told Sporting World.

Kensington looked set to claim first innings honours and placed one hand on the Senior Cup crown, ending day one on 95-2 replying to Hanover's 197, after Brown and Miller shared in an opening stand of 86.

But on the resumption on the final morning, the Hanovarians got the early breakthrough, quickly removing Outar to allow fastbowler Kenneth Beckford to rip through the tail claiming four wickets, as Kensington folded at 173.

"Kensington's batting is based around three players and we knew that if we can get three or four wickets quickly we'll be down into their tail. And that's what happened. We capitalised on that by bowling the balls in the right areas, grabbed most of our catches... and that determined the game," Clarke said.

Spinner Akeem Dwar, Kensington's champion bowler this season, threw his team a lifeline by capturing 7-38 in dismissing Hanover for 100, while setting themselves a gettable 125 runs from maximum 17 overs.

But Kensington was found wanting by the mounting pressure and were blown away for 80 in their failed victory chase, as Hanover claimed their first major national title in the history of the club that is more than a century old.

With automatic promotion now secured, Clarke said he'll be seeking two additional players for the semi-professional Super League.

"I want a batsman and a leg-spinner," he said. "But whether we get them or not we are going to do well. And they're many more (titles) to come," he added.
