Yes the Mighty Easts qualified for the Premier Mens Final for the Wilkinson Pearce Cup. No guessing who the opposition was - Karori for the 3rd year in a row. Easts needed an outright win in the three day final at the Basin Reserve to claim the trophy for the astonishing 10th successive year.

The Pearce Cup Cup was decided by the accummulation of competition points in the 1 and 2 Day games during the season
but this year the two top teams would play a 3 day final against each other. The outright winner would win the Pearce Cup but if the game
ending up as a draw then the top qualifier would be crowned the winner.
In 2011 The MIGHTY EASTS team finally were beaten in the competition. Karori won "3rd time lucky" by 108 runs in the final !!!.
Now NINE from TEN - WE WILL GET IT BACK NEXT YEAR !!!!
