It was also an historic fourth premiership in a row for the top team after taking out the Third Grade title in 2022-23 and the A Grade crown in 2021-22 and 2020-21

Paterson recorded a six-wicket win after bowling Bowthorne out for just 65 in the A Grade grand final at Lorn Park and were 20-run winners against Hinton in the C-grade decider at Kurri Central.

Paterson captain Dean Bridges praised his team for their efforts and said their ongoing success was a measure of how much they enjoyed each other's company and playing cricket together.

"To take out two premierships, A grade and C grade, is a great feeling. It hasn't happened for a long time that both grades have won and the club's real pumped," he said.

"It's keeping people interested in our club. We've got a lot of older people where each week it's getting harder to play but having won it keeps everybody happy and they'll battle through the pain and hopefully continue playing"

"Steve Priestley probably took the catch of the year with a big 20 metre run and a big dive to take it one handed. Everyone fielded and bowled well"

"To go two years undefeated it's an extraordinary effort. I'm proud of all the guys who played and the juniors who filled in to make the club great."

Bowthorne captain Brendan Salmon congratulated Paterson on their excellent year and said they were too strong in the grand final, particularly their bowling.

"That was a tremendous bowling effort and we just couldn't come back from it. You have been the best team all year," he said.

Bowthorne were in trouble early with opener Trevor Johnston and No.3 Ryan Stallworthy both out for ducks and Paterson kept the pressure on to dismiss them for just 65 in 20.2 overs.

Salmon made 12, Mitch Irwin 10 and Nathan Bradbery was unbeaten on 13.

Skipper Dean Bridges led from the front taking 4-26 off his six overs and has Russell Presland put in another player of the match performance to take 4-18 from his eight overs.

Adam Lovegrove took 1-2 off his two overs and the other wicket to fall was a run out.

Paterson lost Jonathon Cowled early for a duck.

But they were never in any trouble with Adam Lovegrove in fine form and hitting a swashbuckling 42 before he was bowled by Michael Meehan trying to hit the cover off the ball but missing.

His innings included six fours and two hugessixes, one of which had spectators scrambling for cover as it cleared the fence and just missed careering straight into the grandstand.

Brad Priestley made seven and Brad Bidner nine, before Presland and Jason Watson saw Paterson home finishing unbeaten on nine and one respectively.

In the C-grade grand final, Paterson were sent into bat by Hinton and made the most of their opportunity to set a winning score with Rod Gane making 50 off just 61 balls to lead a tremendous batting effort with six batters reaching double figures on the way to 8/147.

The wickets were shared around as Paterson piled on the pressure and dismissed Hinton for 127 in the 29^th over, with Jamie Banister on 59 not out.
